Oct-23-2020

Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said that if India has to grow, then it will have to look at global markets and become a key exporting nation. He also said no country has become rich without penetrating the US market and India must get into it in a big way. He said ‘we must understand globalisation has lifted vast segments of the population in the last few decades.

Kant further said that India has carried out some radical reforms recently in coal, agriculture, MSME and mining sectors. He pointed out that every crisis is an opportunity to use technology to leapfrog and India has demonstrated its strength. He said ‘we have used technology in a very big way to make India efficient’.

Besides, after contracting for six straight months, India’s merchandise exports grew by 5.99 percent to $27.58 billion in September 2020 as compared to same period of last year, on account of growth in shipments of drugs and pharmaceuticals and readymade garments.
