The event aims to redefine key areas such as education & skilling, healthcare, e-commerce, industries and MSMEs, tourism, culture & sports, and social development.
Gunvatta Sankalp is a targeted state engagement initiative, wherein QCI collaborates with states to integrate their growth story into a pan-India quality movement as well as assist in developmental objectives. It serves as a platform to bring together stakeholders across government and industry, fostering enriching debates, addressing bottlenecks, identifying actionable targets, and creating state-specific roadmaps for building an ecosystem of quality. Successful Gunvatta initiatives have already been completed in UP, Odisha and Guwahati.

With Gujarat Gunvatta Sankalp, we aim to make quality the cornerstone of Gujarat’s development. The day-long session will feature inspiring discussions, insightful conversations, and collaborative efforts around quality of life, industry relevant education & skilling, affordable and quality healthcare, future industry & MSMEs in Gujarat, transforming e-commerce in Gujarat, and tourism, culture and sports, that will shape a quality-driven future for Gujarat. Together, we aim to propel Gujarat to new heights of prosperity on the wheels of quality.”
