country believe moving
I do believe that India needs a lot more foreign direct investment than we've got, and we should have the ambition to move in the same league many other countries in our neighborhood are moving. We may not be able to reach where the Chinese are today, but there is no reason why we should not think big about the role of foreign direct investment, particularly in the areas relating to infrastructure, where our needs for investment are very large. We need new initiatives, management skills, and I do believe that direct foreign investment can play a very important role.
moving authority
If certain facilities, local facilities have to be arranged, the local authorities have to come. And that makes the Indian system slow moving, Indian administrative system slow moving.
moving mean people
I have to create in India a macroeconomic environment where the employment in aggregate can go up at a handsome rate. Once that happens, people losing jobs in one sector will not mean that they will become perpetually unemployed. From one sector, they can move on to other sectors.
moving doubt
There may be a difference of the pace at which India moves, but there should be no doubt whatsoever about the direction in which India is going to move in years to come.
moving kind fit
We have to walk on two legs. We have to create conditions in which manufacturing and services - the economy outside agriculture - move and move fast enough. And at the same time the working force that is available must have skills which will fit the kind of jobs which will be in demand.
moving important helping
Agribusiness and food processing are important parts of modernizing our economy, of modernizing our agriculture and moving into a phase where a more modernized agriculture helps not only farmers but also helps consumers.
distance lying moving
The salvation of the world ultimately lies in moving towards universal nuclear disarmament, but that's a long distance away.
convinced disease economy expect growth improve india national next percent perhaps possible potential rate repeat row sustain upwards visualize year
For two years in a row we have upwards of 7 percent growth in our national income. This year we expect to repeat that performance. I am convinced that we will sustain this rate of growth perhaps even improve upon in the next years. This has the potential of transforming our economy in many ways. It is now possible as never before to visualize India without poverty, without disease and scourge,
overcome problems work
If we work together, we can overcome these problems,

His heart is in the right place. If Sonia Gandhi would let him have a shot at the job she gave him, he might do quite a good job.

India and China can together reshape the world order.
enough economy taxes
If the economy grows enough, fast enough, the tech system should be modernized so that the tax revenues rise fast enough also, and we should put more money in education.
technology opportunity thinking
The Chinese economy is growing at the rate of 9 percent; the Indian economy growing at the rate of 8 percent - enormous I think opportunities for two-way flow of trade, technology and investment.
path energy march
If we have access to nuclear energy, that adds to our maneuverability in ensuring energy security as India marches on, on the path to accelerated development.
