NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said that upliftment of over 100 aspirational districts can help Indian economy to grow at 9-10 percent over the next three decades as it is imperative to have equity for growth to sustain. As part of the NITI Aayog's vision, the 'Transformation of Aspirational Districts' programme aims to quickly and effectively transform these 115 districts.
Kant said “It is very important to focus on nutrition, learning outcomes and health. The prime minster's focus is on the 115 aspirational districts of India...you can't have growth without equity.” He noted that the broad contours of the programme are convergence of central and state government schemes, collaboration of central, state level 'Prabhari' officers and district collectors, and competition among districts driven by a mass movement. He pointed out that with states as the main drivers, this programme focuses on the strength of each district, identify low-hanging fruits for immediate improvement, measure progress, and rank districts.
Talking about the pharma sector, NITI Aayog CEO said that India entrepreneurship in the pharmacy sector has been truly top-class. He said “India has demonstrated its ability, and Ayushman Bharat is a great example of that. You will providing health facility to 500 million people, more than the population of USA, Europe, Mexico put together.” He stated that India has demonstrated its ability to provide medical health care at one-tenth the cost over the European and the American nations and that's a great example.
