Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said India will enter a new era of global leadership starting in 2028.
He was addressing a Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) session on green industrialization held on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos in Switzerland.
Speaking to top Indian industrialists, including Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekharan, the Chief Minister cited a Bloomberg analysis, which predicts that by 2027 India will emerge as the leading country contributing the most to the incremental GDP of the world.
“Indians are the most accepted community globally and it will continue in the future,” he said at the event organized by industry body CII.
“We are having the right leader at the right time in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He has absolute clarity on reforms and policy framework for the country going ahead.
“I’m fully confident that India will become a developed nation by 2047, and reach the number one or two spot in various areas,” he said.
India is the only country that has the advantage of a democratic dividend for the next 20-25 years, he said.
Naidu pitched moving forward from the PPP model to P4 model or ‘Public, Private and People Partnership’ to tackle issues like poverty and hunger and improve the lives of everyone.
Naidu also announced setting up of a Centre of Global Leadership on Competitiveness in partnership with CII.
Present at the event, Tata group chief N Chandrasekaran said it’s his honour to become Co-chair of the economic taskforce on Swarna Andhra by 2047.
He praised Naidu for his economic visions in his days as chief minister of erstwhile unified Andhra Pradesh.
“While we develop this plan for 2047, it will have plans for immediate implementation as we progress towards the target year,” he said.
“The plan will have multiple components, special focus on certain sectors in the beginning as we target other sectors,” Chandrasekaran said, adding “We will set up educational institutions of global eminence,” he added.
