The year 2018 for the Niti Aayog will be a challenging year as it will have to give shape to the Prime Minister’s New India by 2022 with an extensive focus on malnutrition, agriculture, higher education, and jobs.
The Vice-Chairman of the Ayog, Rajiv Kumar has already met various stakeholders and plans to soon finalize the New India @2022 vision document.
“In the next calendar year 2018, we (Niti Aayog) will focus even more on agricultural transformation, malnutrition, higher education and employment generation. We are now trying to work on giving substance to the Prime Ministers call for New India by 2022… so, we will complete that (New India @2022 vision document) soon and once that is over, we will work on the 15-year vision document,”informed Kumar to PTI.
The Niti Aayog comes as the government’s apex think tank body with the Prime minister serving as its chairman.
“I think we will continue with our twin tasks of cooperative and competitive federalism, and in this regard, I have already visited 11 states and will visit other states next year so that they seriously consider the Niti Aayog as their outpost at the Centre. And we can together design state specific development plans,” said the Vice Chairman of the aayog.
Regarding the economy, he said that the private CapEx investment is inflating and we will witness more rapid growth and also the generation of quality employment.
“And by this time next year, let us say in the next 12 months in the third quarter of 2018-19, I would see the economy at 7.5 percent and grow upwards. In another two years from now, we would have reached 8 percent. Export promotion is extremely critical. We have just completed the work of taskforce on employment and exports and submitted our recommendations to the commerce minister. And in our recommendations, we have picked up those exports which are employment intensive,” said Kumar.
