Development must be such that it positively transforms the lives of the common people.

The government must nurture an eco-system where the economy is primed for growth; and growth promotes all-rounddevelopment. Where development is employment-generating ; and employment is enabled by skills. Where skills are synced with production; and production is benchmarked to quality.

That is my concept ofeconomic good governance and all round development.
