With the Union Budget approaching, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has called for flexible economic policies to enhance growth and job creation while addressing socio-economic disparities. Gadkari made these remarks on Saturday during the launch of “Made in China,” a Marathi book by Loksatta editor Girish Kuber.

Speaking at the event, Gadkari emphasized the need for adaptable economic strategies to foster a more inclusive and dynamic economic environment. He highlighted that such policies are crucial for stimulating economic growth and creating employment opportunities while reducing inequality.

Gadkari also commented on the shifting global economic landscape, noting that the situation in China is evolving rapidly. He pointed out that many countries are now hesitant to engage in business with China in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The minister’s statements underscore his commitment to pursuing economic reforms that can better position India in the global market. By advocating for a more flexible approach to economic policy, Gadkari aims to drive sustainable growth and improve the socio-economic conditions within the country.

The insights shared by Gadkari reflect broader discussions on the need for adaptive economic strategies in response to changing global dynamics and domestic challenges. As India prepares for the upcoming budget, these recommendations may influence policy decisions aimed at enhancing the country’s economic resilience and growth prospects.
