Govt Focused On Putting Economy On Upward Trajectory: Modi


He, however, said that if the economy rests wholly on any one of the sectors, it will not be able to bear the brunt of even slight disruptions. His government is focussed on the manufacturing sector. In manufacturing sector there needs to be creation of small jobs.

"Our efforts is that India should progress and develop in all three sectors," he said adding that in the services sector tourism has a huge scope. "In today's age one sector that has the most potential for growth is tourism. It is estimated that three trillion dollars worth of business lies in the tourism sector," he said, adding that India has not taken advantage of the huge potential that tourism holds and has not even scratched the surface in achieving its potential in the tourism sector.

"Our endeavour is that tourism should grow. I believe that terrorism divides and tourism unites," he said to a rousing applause by the audience as he?said that when tourism grows, then everyone from the "autoricksha walah, taxi walah and chaiwala" earns.

Citing India's philosophy of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', he said there would be no need of any tourism promotion if one Indian family in the US motivates five non Indian families to travel to India as a tourist.

It would be a big service to the nation, he said. Modi said if the country moves in the direction of economic development and growth, in the direction of providing more and more people with employment and if growth accelerates on a fast pace, India will become a centre of attraction for the world and it will not be required to invite anyone.
