7.8% GDP Growth, But Where Are The Jobs? Congress MP Praveen Chakravarty Speaks
India's economy grew by a robust 7.8% in the first quarter, but Congress MP Praveen Chakravarty argues that headline GDP numbers alone do not capture the reality facing ordinary Indians.
In this conversation with NDTV, Chakravarty acknowledges that India has weathered recent global shocks well, but raises questions about the transparency and methodology behind GDP data. He also focuses on what he sees as the bigger challenge: private sector investment and job creation.
From concerns over the credibility of economic data to youth unemployment and the future of private investment, Praveen Chakravarty explains why, in his view, India must look beyond the headline growth number.
