FINANCE MINISTER further said : -
QUOTE: GROWTH is only as important as what it enables us to do and be. Therefore, the SECOND CHALLENGE is to harness ECONOMIC GROWTH to consolidate the recent gains in making development more inclusive. The thrust imparted to the development of INFRASTRUCTURE in rural areas has to be pursued to achieve the desired objectives within a fixed time frame. We have to strengthen FOOD SECURITY, improve EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES and provide HEALTH FACILITIES at the level of households, both in rural and urban areas. These are issues that require significant resources, and we have to find those resources. UNQUOTE

FINANCE MINISTER – UNION OF INDIA says: -
QUOTE: -TODAY I CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT WE HAVE WEATHERED THE CRISES WELL. INDIAN ECONOMY NOW IS IN A FAR BETTER POSITION THAN IT WAS A YEAR AGO. THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT THE CHALLENGES TODAY ARE ANY LESS THAN WHAT THEY WERE NINE MONTHS AGO WHEN UPA UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF MRS. SONIA GANDHI WAS ELECTED BACK TO POWER AND PRIME MINISTER DR. MANMOHAN SINGH FORMED THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE THREE CHALLENGES AND THE MEDIUM TERM PERSPECTIVE THAT I HAD OUTLINES IN MY LAST BUDGET SPEECH REMAIN RELEVANT, EVEN TODAY. THESE WOULD CONTINUE TO ENGAGE THE INDIAN POLICY-PLANNERS FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THE FIRST CHALLENGE BEFORE US IS TO QUICKLY REVERT TO THE HIGH GDP GROWTH PATH OF 9 PER CENT AND THEN FIND THE MEANS TO CROSS THE DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH BARRIER.THIS CALLS FOR IMPARTING A FRESH MOMENTUM TO THE IMPRESSIVE RECOVERY IN GROWTH WITNESSED IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. IN THIS ENDEAVOUR, I SEEK LORD INDIRA’s HELP TO MAKE THE RECOVERY MORE BROAD-BASED IN THE COMING MONTHS. = UNQUOTE.
