12 Champion States Key To $30-Trn GDP By 2047: Kant
To achieve this ambitious goal, these States need to grow at 10%-12% per cent per annum for the next 3 decades. - Amitabh Kant, G20 Sherpa and former CEO of NITI Aayog
New Delhi: In order to become a $30-trillion economy by 2047, India needs about 10 to 12 ‘Champion States’ that consistently grow at over 10 per cent for the next couple of decades, G20 Sherpa and former NITI Aayog CEO, Amitabh Kant, said on Friday.
Speaking in an interview with a news agency in the national Capital, Kant said States like Gujarat and Tamil Nadu delivered strong growth for a long period, but now, the country needs a whole new range of ‘Champion States’ to help it become the third-largest economy faster than projected, and then move towards the goal of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047. “States are very critical. Without states growing, we will not be able to achieve our goals. India needs about 10 to 12 ‘Champion States’ that grow at 10 per cent plus. We need States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan to grow faster than ever,” Kant emphasised.
