The City of Dreams...
Surat is one of the most dynamic & cleanest cities
of India with one of the fastest growth-rates due to migration
from various parts of Gujarat as well as India.
Surat is also known by
several other names like “The Silk City,” “The Diamond
city,” “The Green City” etc. It has the most vibrant,
present and an equally varied heritage of the past. It
is the city where the British first landed in India.
Still today, Surat continues the same tradition as people
from all around the country flock in for business and
jobs.
Surat has practically zero
percent unemployment rate and jobs are easier to get here
due to very fast development of various industries in
and around Surat.
Surat produces 60 million
meters of fabrics and contributes to a whopping 40 % of
India’s total man – made fabrics production per day. 80%
of world’s diamonds are cut and polished in Surat in the
numerous diamond factories in the city. It is truly the
commercial capital of Gujarat.
Moreover Surat has got
its own uniqueness in the sense that both the majority
communities i.e. Gujarati & Marwari – here are ardent
followers of their own customs and traditions. They thoroughly
maintain them specially during their wedding. People from
all over the world specially come here to enjoy &
behold wedding of some “big & prosperous families.”
These are the reasons why
Surat has been given first preference to organize Shringar
Mahotsav there.
