HTLS 2020: Defining a new era of growth and prosperity
Hindustan TimesEconomic history has shown us that eras of golden growth often last decades. Also underappreciated is the potential for these reforms to usher in a new era of growth and prosperity. Formalisation of firms and employment has been encouraged through the introduction of GST and the new Labour Codes, which allow for fixed term employment across sectors, whilst the scheme announced by the Finance Minister, the Atmanirbhar Bharat Rozgar Yojana, supports the creation of new formal jobs as well. This is yet another example of India paving a new path and serving as a model to the world in financial and digital inclusion. The economic and governance reforms undertaken in India over the past few years address critical bottlenecks that have held back India’s growth story and will usher in a new era of growth and prosperity.
