In the backdrop of latest estimates of national income by Central Statistics Office (CSO) which showed that India’s growth is expected to slow down to four-year low of 6.5 per cent this fiscal, government’s think tank NITI Aayog has organized a meeting to be attended by a host of ministers including Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, NITI Aayog functionaries and leading economists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with leading economists and the experts across sectors from all over the country at NITI Aayog meeting to deliberate on economic policy roadmap for promoting growth and employment.
The NITI Aayog’s deliberation titled ‘Economic Policy: The Road Ahead’ will focus on six broad themes: Macroeconomic Balances, Agriculture and Rural Development, Urban Development, Infrastructure and Connectivity, Employment, Manufacturing and Exports and Health and Education.
NITI further said that the emphasis is on sharing the views of the experts from all over the country on the road ahead for the economic policy to steer the nation towards a New India envisioned by the prime minister.
