Honestly speaking, India has immense possibilities. These data will not answer the question as such. They just show us where we are right now and where we want to be. To maintain our growth rate and meet our growth targets we require making a concerted effort towards this direction. One of them is reform. But this reform should not be at the cost of social responsibilities. We shall not fallow western sort of policies blindly but we urgently need a balanced but comprehensive approach and course of actions. Of course, there are political hindrances and other systematic bottlenecks. But India need urgent actions from every quarter as next few years are crucial for us. India can make it to third in world’s largest economies in 2050. It has everything to make it happen but there lies a big BUT. We are very good at policies what we really need to be good at is execution and effective implementations of those policies not only in forms but also in substances.

India’s is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. At a time when most developed countries are almost stagnant or growing at much slower pace, India and China have registered robust growth. Though India cannot compete with China because for India, forget about double digit growth, even a 9% growth is distant possibility. In current scenario, when China has scaled down its forecasted growth in single digit, we too are likely to grow at least by 7-7.5% in current fiscal which is not too bad at all.
