Though Gujarat has only about six per cent of India's geographical area and nearly five per cent of the population, the state has become an engine of the country's development with world-renowned firms coming here for business, according to officials.

The 10th edition of VGGS, the state's biennial investors' meet, is scheduled to be held next month in the capital Gandhinagar.
