Modi Claims Sharp Dip in India’s Inequality: Jobs, Manufacturing Drive Growth
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday asserted that India is witnessing a rapid decline in inequality. He attributed this positive trend to several key government initiatives.
The PM highlighted the significant job creation spurred by various welfare schemes and the Employment Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI). These, he argued, have been instrumental in boosting economic opportunities across the country.
Furthermore, Modi pointed to the robust growth witnessed in the manufacturing and defense sectors as contributing factors to improved economic equality. He cited these sectors as engines of inclusive growth.
The Prime Minister also celebrated the recent UNESCO recognition of the Maratha Military Landscapes, emphasizing its contribution to national pride and cultural preservation. This recognition, he suggested, underscores India’s rich heritage and growing global influence.
This assertion of decreasing inequality comes at a time when discussions around economic disparity remain central to national discourse. The government’s policies and their impact on the lives of ordinary Indians will be closely scrutinized in the coming months.
