Challenge for India to sustain 8-9% growth for three decades: Amitabh Kant
Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said India has done extremely well on the vaccination front and the challenge for the country is to grow 8-9 per cent over the next three decades. Further, he said that rise in per capita income of India is critical for removing poverty in the country.
He said the government's role should be in public policy and the policy should create wealth through the private sector. He said ‘The government should be in education, health and nutrition.’
Moreover, it is important for Indian manufacturers to penetrate global markets and value chains. He said without technological leapfrogging, it will be difficult for India to grow at high rates. He also said India is climatically-blessed and it is an opportunity to use renewable energy.
