India has overtaken the U.K. and France to become the fifth largest economy in the world, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankar says, and expresses optimism that the nation will emerge as the third largest economy by 2030.
Mr. Dhankar was speaking at the ongoing three-day centenary celebrations of Andhra Medical College (AMC) being organised at AU Convention Centre on the Beach Road here on October 28.
“India’s phenomenal growth has been recognised and acknowledged globally. The world has started looking at India, which has emerged as a soft power after hosting the G20,” he said.
