Planning Commission’s Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia today said the issues like cash subsidy and PPP, especially raised by Bihar, would be addressed prominently in the approach paper to 12th five year plan.
“We will give thrust on ensuring faster and inclusive growth and sustainability,” Mr. Ahluwalia said.
He was speaking to reporters along with Union Minister of State for Planning Ashwini Kumar on the sidelines of the Regional Consultation with five Eastern States on the Approach Paper to be finalised by the Planning Commission.
Stating that the meeting of the Commission which began today was a “consultation process”, he said no decision was taken during the meeting.
“We heard the issues and views of the states and we will be holding similar types of meetings with North Eastern States, Southern and Western states in next two to three weeks,” Mr. Montek said.
Great! but, what we actually need is 'Ecologically Responsible and 100% Inclusive Growth, benefitting all sections of Society, not just the Corporates.
