DC Edit | Growth: India must aim higher

Deccan Chronicle  

India has finally overtaken its erstwhile colonial master, the United Kingdom, in terms of the size of the economy — the first time after nearly 150 years. In October 2016, India’s GDP was $2.29 trillion compared to $2.34 trillion of the Brexit-mauled UK economy — a difference of just $50 billion — which was expected to be erased by 2017. Having finally beaten the former colonial master, India must not become complacent about the economy as the fruits of economic growth will manifest only when the average income — as measured on per capita basis — of a citizen grows. As India’s strategic rival China’s economy stands at $19 trillion, India should aim at crossing the $10 trillion mark, if we wish to have any heft in the global community.
