Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said India would be the engine of global growth, along with a few other countries, contributing to the revival of the global economy in a significant way. Sitharaman said ‘I am not saying we will be the only ones, but will be a significant contributor to the global economic revival. We owe it to the humanity that we all put our heads together, pan up something and come up with a budget which can play its role in reviving India.’
She said India would be having its first budget soon post a pandemic, which makes it necessary to have a budget in sync with the changing needs of the time. She said investment in health is going to be critical, not just to keep lives safer, but also to make health and health-related expenditures more predictable. She said ‘and therefore in the health sector, more funding for infrastructure, bringing a private partnership for it, not just providing buildings of hospitals, but also providing the capacities to run these hospitals... So if looking at health itself... you're looking at what are the kind of things you can provide the patient, inclusive of technology-driven advices, expert consultations. And so on the other end is to create such soft capacities of doctors, specialists, nurses, paramedics, so that there is a constant flow.’
She also said a good example of the government's policy push of an Atmanirbhar Bharat would be the capacity India has shown to produce vaccines, to manufacture the formulation that the vaccine developers have given.
