Focus on moving up services value chain rather than manufacturing to propel India into 'Amrit Kaal': Former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan

India's ambition to march into `Amrit Kaal’ by 2047 is an important one but the current pace of growth is not enough to get us there as we will still remain a lower middle-income economy by then, former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan said here on Saturday. Speaking at an interactive session organised by Manthan, Rajan mooted a focus on high-value added services instead of manufacturing to productively harness the country’s demographic dividend and propel the country into 'Amrit Kaal' because if India does not grow faster, it would grow older demographically before it gets richer. https://ift.tt/8HZo7xg
