Presently, India is the fifth largest economy in the world. He also said if India generates enough employment opportunities then economic growth will happen. He pointed out that COVID-19 pandemic has shown weaknesses of Indian society. He noted ‘80 per cent of our workers are below the radar, we don’t have data about them. We will have to go back to the drawing board and business as usual will not do.’
