Letter to arvind Kejriwal by Kutchh Resident: Welcome to Kutchh Gujarat Mr. Kejriwal. Nice to know that you want to survey the development of Kutchh. So let we the people of Kutchh brief you with few facts. Kutchh has the population of 18 lac that is1% of UP, but produces 12,000 MW power and total will be 27000 MW by 2018. To put this number into perspective Australia produces 30,000 MW power in spite of being the world’s largest per capita power consumer and having population 11 times that of Kutchh !! and this will be 35 % more than whole of Pakistan with population 100 times that of Kutchh. Kutchh is in the process of becoming the largest cement producing district by far of India. Kutchh is going to produce 10% of potash in a year’s time which is key ingredient of fertilizers. Unfortunately in spite of India being agriculture based country we almost import 100% of potash, and this import will be reduced due to plant being put in Kutchh that will provide direct benefit to every farmer of India. Kutchh is the largest windfarm power producing disctrict in India. Kutchh is 3rd largest area producing saw pipes in the world, which are used in oil and gas piping. Kutchh handles maximum sea cargo in India and is home to two largest port of India. Kutch has the largest edible oil refining capacity in India. Kutchh has the largest number of saw mills of wood in India, in spite of not having any forests. Kutchh’s tourism has developed by 1200% in 7 years and that too majorly in Muslim majority areas. Kutchh being the desert region with no water for 5 decades now receives drinking water directly from Narmada which has reached right upto the border for BSF jawans. Kutchh is the district with largest road network in India. And these all things have happened in front of our eyes and the time when Kutchh was reduced to rubbles due to one of the most severe earthquakes of India in 2001. If you are unbiased and really want to see the development hopefully you will appreciate these things, that will give you a bigger stature among we the people of Kutchh. We are known for our warmth & hospitality, of course you need to open your arms too, which is not likely to be done as you are in too much hurry...!! -A resident of Kutchh.
