"Kitne Acche Din?" Chief Economic Adviser Reviews One Year of Modi Government: Highlights

New Delhi:  Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian spoke with NDTV on the Narendra Modi government’s one year in power.

Here are the highlights from his discussion:


  • I see Make in India as a long-term strategy to make the Indian economy competitive.

  • There’s been a big institutional change via economic federalism, states are more empowered.

  • Don’t want to say everything is perfect, but more can be done now than 15-18 months ago.

  • Growth hasn’t picked up as much as people expected, or expected as a result of action.

  • 3 levers to help farmers’ income:  MNREGA, crop insurance, minimum support price.

  • All the things coming back to bite us are legacy issues…but we are moving forward.

  • We want to prescribe policies that take into account reasonable political restraints.
