The India that exists today is not what it was a decade ago, Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi said on Friday.
The country had become a preferred destination for investments, as corporate leaders had started moving out of China, he said, adding that it was important to create the right environment.
Speaking at the 32nd graduation day of Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM) at the Music Academy, Mr. Ravi said that a new, self-confident, and resolute India was emerging. “A decade ago, we were among the fragile five economies of the world, at the margins of world affairs; but today, we are among the top five economies of the world and at the centre of world affairs. A decade ago, India was home to the largest number of the poor, sick, and illiterate. Today, we are digitally empowered citizens. Today, we have citizenry with financial inclusion with over 50 crore bank accounts. Our digital public infrastructure is a logistic marvel of the world,” he said.
