India needs to push exports, gender parity to grow at 9-10% annually: Amitabh Kant
Oct-17-2018

Mentioning about the challenges for India in achieving higher rate growth, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said that the country needs to work a lot on exports and gender parity so as to grow at 9-10% annually in the next three decades, ensuring that India has growth with equity.

Niti Aayog CEO further pointed that only 24% of women work in India, while world average is 48% and therefore men need to push for gender parity in the country. Besides, he said that Indians should find solutions for their problems be it providing seed and fertiliser to farmers depending on soil and weather conditions, converting waste into energy, providing clean drinking water and others.

Amitabh Kant also listed the courtiers which have achieved 9-10% growth and further added that “There is no reason when you have a very young population and light dependency burdens that India should not achieve this, India must achieve this.”
