What is your idea of inclusive growth?
A situation where the fruits of industrialization are enjoyed not just by the educated and technically well-equipped, but where displaced farmers, the marginal, unskilled workers, ethnic communities, women and other weaker sections of society find a share in the development process. It is only then development becomes holistic. To sum it up, it means a growth strategy where the aspirations of both India and Bharat are taken care of.
