07 May 2020 Evaluate
Amid virus outbreak, Former Union Minister Suresh Prabhu has expressed optimism that focusing on district level growth in post-COVID period will help creating huge employment opportunities, contain migration from villages and push India's gross domestic product (GDP).

Prabhu further noted that increasing district level growth by additional 3 per cent will help increase the national GDP. He further mentioned that the government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is focusing on districts as part of a bottoms-up approach for boosting growth.

Former Union Minister also said that as workers and labourers are returning to villages, they would utilise and consume local resources, which would help in generating economic activities and it will also help in increasing their incomes and added that demand in agri, industry and services sectors too would increase.
