China grew at an average 10 per cent per annum. If you grow at 10 per cent, you P I C double your income in 7 years. Therefore, between 1975 and 2010, China’s income grew 16 folds. It lifted almost 800 million people above the poverty line. Therefore, India has no other option but to grow at 10 per cent per annum and that’s feasible. For India’s GDP to grow at that level, manufacturing must grow at 14-15 per cent and, therefore, Make in India is a very critical programme for the government. Make in India has identifi ed sectors, it is working in partnership with the private sector, we are working in partnership with different ministries across the government and its ambition is that manufacturing must drive India’s growth. And, therefore, to our mind we need unleashing of creative energy in India. India must become a nation of job creators rather than being job seekers. We must create young entrepreneurs.
