Focus on agriculture income, jobs, exports: Economists to PM Modi
In a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday,
economists and experts suggested the government to focus on jobs, adopt an
exports-driven growth strategy and work on doubling the farmers income.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, Niti Aayog Vice
Chairman Rajiv Kumar said “There was unanimous support for working towards
doubling the farmers income”. He said improving economic growth was important
to achieve jobs creation, though the recent high frequency data indicate that
there was a pickup in employment generation. With the global economic growth
picking up pace, many economists suggested the government to adopt an
export-driven growth strategy that will boost domestic economy and lead to job
creation, he said.
