Good governance, zero corruption crucial for sustainable economic development: Javadekar

30 Aug 2019 Evaluate

Executing confidence that India will become a five trillion dollar economy in the next five years, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar has said that good governance and zero corruption are needed for sustainable economic development in the country. He said good governance is the basis of good economy. Zero corruption and low inflation are two important keys for any kind of sustainable economic development. Real growth can be seen now with low inflation of three-four per cent.

He also said that policy paralysis never allows sustainable growth. On the other hand, decisive leadership gives real support and momentum to the economy. He added that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) initiative was a real example of ‘cooperative federalism’. A big revolutionary move of GST was taken to bring transparency and make tax compliance better. He also emphasised on infrastructure and agricultural development for economic growth. The stronger the infrastructure, the faster will be the economic growth. He said every year Rs 20 lakh crore have been kept aside for infrastructure development.

Highlighting the government's contribution to boost agriculture sector, the minister said ‘we are helping out farmers by depositing Rs 6,000 every year in the account of over 14 crore farmers across the country. This is a big move. This means farmers will have money to repair degraded land, get good seeds and use better technology.’ He also said ‘We need to increase agriculture productivity. 40 per cent people's livelihood is dependent on agriculture. To increase agriculture credit and trigger growth, government has initiated various schemes.’
