Efforts should be made to enhance productivity: PM

PM-LABOUR

New Delhi, Sept 15 (PTI) Projecting a nine to 10 per
cent growth rate, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on
Wednesday said efforts should be made to remove "deficiencies"
to enhance productivity across all sectors of the economy.
He said the country's economic performance in the
last few years has been "impressive" and is poised to move to
a trajectory of sustained high economic growth which is
essential for fighting persistent poverty, hunger and disease
that still afflicts millions of people.
"Our aim is a growth rate of nine to 10 per cent in
the medium term. But this will not happen automatically. There
are deficiencies we will have to remove and strengths that we
will have to acquire," he said presenting the Prime Minister's
Shram Awards for 2005, 2006 and 2007.
To achieve this ambition, Singh said efforts should be
made to enhance productivity across all sectors of the
economy.
Noting that the resources are limited and need to be
utilised optimally, he asked the people to pay greater
attention to "cutting costs and boosting the quality of the
products and services". PTI SGI
