New Delhi : India is among the fastest growing major economies in the world, President Droupadi Murmu said in her maiden address to the nation on Sunday, adding that India has made unprecedented progress in the development of physical and digital infrastructure.
“The pandemic has uprooted lives and also economies in the entire world. When the world has been battling the economic consequences of the great crisis, India got its act together and is now moving forward. India is among the fastest growing major economies in the world. India’s start-up ecosystem ranks high in the world. The success of start-ups in our country, especially the growing number of unicorns is a shining example of our industrial progress,” the President said.
The President highlighted that government and policy-makers deserve credit for helping the economy flourish.
She said, “The government and policy-makers deserve credit for beating the global trend and helping the economy flourish. During the last few years, unprecedented progress has been made in the development of physical and digital infrastructure.” The President said that credit must also be given to workers and farmers whose hard work has made it possible and entrepreneurs whose business acumen has created wealth.
“Through the Pradhan Mantri Gati-Shakti Yojana, all the modes of connectivity based on water, land, air etc. are being integrated in the whole country to enable seamless transportation across the country. For the vibrancy of growth visible in our country, credit must also be given to workers and farmers whose hard work has made it possible and entrepreneurs whose business acumen has created wealth. What is all the more heartening is that the growth is becoming more inclusive and regional disparities too are reducing,” said the President.
