Citing good third quarter gross domestic product (GDP) numbers for the fiscal year 2017-18, Niti Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar has said that India’s economy bottomed out and is on the rise again. He also said that the country’s economy had witnessed slow growth because of decline in private investment and other factors. He added that this has all started changing and investment cycle has turned.
Niti Aayog vice chairman highlighted that self-employment has generally been seen in the country as a residual category, and the self-employed youth, in the coming days, would be highly qualified and adept at latest technologies. He believes that the self-employed youth will be using Internet of things (IoT) to deliver to the society what the society needs at a rapidly changing pace.
On the employment front, Kumar said that it should get due attention and that job creation would contribute to GDP growth as well. In order to make good policy, he said that the Niti Aayog would like to generate payroll data based on inputs from employers on their plans vis-a-vis recruitment. He pointed out that the jobs created by new employers in the country like taxi companies and financial institutions should also be taken into consideration in employment data.
