Our Vision Is Not Just Of Economic

So Outside Agriculture, In Manufacturing And Services, We Must Create A Lot More Jobs. But That Also Means That We Must Ensure That Our Systems Of General Education And Technical Education Are In Line With The Job Requirements That A More Modern Manufacturing And A More Modern Services Sector Would Require.

I Should Like To Express Our Profound Gratitude To The Americans Of Indian Origin. The Way They Have Conducted Themselves, The Way They Have Worked Hard To Carve Out A Niche For Themselves In The Silicon Valley, I Think This Has Also Given America A New Idea About What India Is Capable Of.

India Is This Great Experiment Of A Billion People Of Such Great Diverse Persuasions Working Together, Seeking Their Salvation In The Framework Of A Democracy. I Believe It Will Have Some Lessons For All The Multicultural Societies.

The Indian Economy Grew At 5.5 Percent, But If You Look At The Last 30 Years - For Example, 1960 To 1985 - The Progress Made By East Asian Countries Was Phenomenal. In A Single Generation They Had Been Able To Transform The Character Of Their Economy. They Were Able To Get Rid Of Chronic Poverty.

I Do Recognize That India Has To Be The Center, The Hub Of Activity As Far As The Knowledge Economy Is Concerned.
