For an economy to prosper, trust between the states must be established, and their individual strengths be appreciated.

Economic freedom is very important for women empowerment. They must be partners in economic development also. I have seen that women are very good at adapting to latest technology. We should link women and technology up-gradation.

The nation should move towards one target, one direction, one intention and one decision.

Our efforts for inclusive growth are holistic and not piecemeal; well planned and not knee jerk reactions; not for small changes but for quantum leap; making people the partners in growth not just beneficiaries; addressing the local needs by using global ideas and technology. And this is why our efforts in e-governance have been applauded the world over.

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