That apart it is crucial to ensure the artificial intelligence must be channelled positively and it must protect the jobs market.<\/p>\n<p>The seminar\u2014India\u2019s Growth Beyond Budget: Navigating Mission 2047\u2014organised by The Secretariat in association with Chintan Research Foundation underlined the need for structural reform along with political consensus. The growth story also must touch the lives of every citizen and inequality must be reduced.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the occasion, Davinder Sandhu, Chairman, Primus Partners said AI and other technology must improve productivity, but steps are key to rule out any impact on employment in a labour-surplus economy. He also highlighted that India\u2019s growth story is squarely dependent on the micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector which is the second largest employer only after the agriculture sector.<\/p>\n<p>Rahul Ahluwalia, Founder Director, Foundation for Economic Development, who was also present at the seminar said that the government must take steps in promoting exports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a big market only because we have 1.4 billion people. On a per capita basis, we are one of the smallest markets in the world,\u201d Ahluwalia said, adding that every fast-growing story has been export-led.<\/p>\n<p>Bala Bhaskar, former Ambassador and an Economist highlighted the significance of carefully carving free trade agreements, so that these help the Indian exporters. \u201cSigning FTAs is insufficient without building standards, intellectual property, technological capability, and supply chain depth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Prabir De, Professor, Research and Information System for Developing Countries, said that it is imperative to have a plan on \u201cViksit Rajyas\u201d or \u201cViksit\u201d states for India to transform into Viksit Bharat by 2047.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNumbers are very optimistic, but challenges are equally very high,\u201d De said.<\/p>\n<p>Vaibhav Dange, CEO, Build India Foundation noted the importance of quality infrastructure development to support growth. \u201cThe domestic strength of India\u2019s economy has been the greatest advantage India has. Both in terms of consumption and capital expenditure on various aspects of the economy, infrastructure in particular,\u201d Dange said.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Sanjeev Ahluwalia, Distinguished Fellow at CRF also said that the common citizens too need to play a role in pushing India\u2019s growth story.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.
