I Am Not Very Good At Statistics.

I Have Always Believed That The Ultimate Purpose Of Economic Policies And Development Policy Is To Meet The Basic Needs Of Our People. And For That, We Need A Fast-expanding Economy.

I Pray For That Moment In Which I Think We Can Claim To The World That We Are Now In A Different, New Era Of Indo-american Relationship Of Trust, Of Working Together, Partnership Strengthened Both By Our Commitment To Common Values, And Also The Identity Of Interests.

We Should Put More Money In Health. We Should Put More Money In Devising Credible Social Safety Nets For The Poor.

Yes, I Think India's Economy Always Has Been A Mixed Economy, And By Western Standards We Are Much More Of A Market Economy Than A Public Sector-driven Economy.

Nowhere Else You Will Find A Country Of India's Diversity, Of India's Complexity, One Billion People Trying To Seek Their Social And Economic Salvation In The Framework Of Democracy, In The Framework Of An Open Economy.
