Stressing on the need for a radical change at the state and district levels to improve the present situation, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said that India’s Gross domestic product (GDP) is growing at the rate of 7-8 per cent and the same needs to be reflected on the human development index (HDI) wherein the country stands at 131st position out of 188 nations.
Kant has also expressed need of collaboration between industry associations while attending to the huge challenge that lies in improving HDI rank and in bringing the transformation that the country needs. He further said that industry associations should take steps to contribute to the development of districts, as transformation of 115 backward districts to middle status will lead to demand generation.
NITI Aayog CEO pointed out various areas like education, health and nutrition, where the industry should focus more, especially at district level. He further highlighted his department’s efforts towards improvement of districts, noting that NITI Aayog is capturing real-time data on the progress of the key performance indicators of the 115 districts and will rank them on regular basis.
