Important New Social Interventions

Conclusion
• The transition towards faster and more inclusive growth calls for
significant new initiatives in many sectors. Every effort will be
required to push the agricultural growth to achieve the agri growth
targets. Failure to do this will put the burden excessively on the
non-agricultural sectors in order to achieve the overall GDP growth
rate.
• Industries have highlighted the emerging skill constraint among the
workforce. With India aggressively pursuing the trade in services, it
is necessary that educational standards and technical skills be
maintained at levels comparable with the best in the world to
sustain the growth in service sector.
• Infrastructural inadequacies continue to constrain the full potential
for industrial resurgence and pick up in investment. Policies and
institutions need to be geared up to meet the specific requirements
of the infrastructure sectors. With PPP being taken up seriously, it is
expected to yield better results.
