AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE

The Federation of Gujarat Industries was founded in the year 1918, in the erstwhile Baroda State, under the progressive rule of Shrimant Sayajirao Gaekwad, who encouraged social reforms and industrial development to modernize erstwhile Baroda State. FGI as such has a tradition of Industrial Development and its archives are full of events associated with vast industrial growth in and around Vadodara on the golden corridor of Gujarat.

During its 'Platinum Jubilee Year 1993', the FGI instituted biennial Awards in various fields of excellence. The objective behind institution of these awards is to recognize excellence in economic, social and scientific areas. The FGI believes that through these awards, industrial and social achievements in Gujarat will be publicly recognized and encourage others to contribute in the country's efforts of globalization and economic development.
