I think the country is at a takeoff stage where
it can grow very, very rapidly as has been done
by many countries in the past.
So this was the context given this as well as
the demographic dividend that India is actually blessed with for
the next 2025 years that we can grow rapidly.
The Prime Minister gave a call that all states to
prepare a vision documents at their level and this is
already visible in the growth of India.
We are the 4th largest economy as I speak.
We are a $4 trillion economy as I speak and
this is not my data, this is IMF data.
India Today is larger than Japan.
So its only the United States, China and Germany which
are larger.
And if we stick to, you know, what is being
planned, what is being thought through, its a matter of
another two, 2 1/2 to three years, we would become
the third largest economy.
And in this, the reason for the Prime Minister giving
this call is this is a long haul and we
have to do it for about 25 years.
