Govt's focus on infrastructure will create jobs, revive economy: Nitin Gadkari

摘要

The government's focus on building infrastructure will create jobs and revive economic growth, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said amid projections of a further shrinkage in the coming months on account of the Covid-19 crisis. The "most important thing", however, is to pay attention to small businesses and the development of villages, as well as backward and tribal areas, Gadkari said in an interview. "Building infrastructure in areas such as water, power transport, and communication, will lead to setting up of industries, which will attract investment, create employment opportunities, and ultimately boost out gross domestic product (GDP) growth," said the minister.
