New Delhi/UNI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday met various stakeholders as part of the pre-budget exercise and called for a focussed effort from all stakeholders in order to achieve the target of 5 trillion dollar economy in India.

The Prime Minister interacted with various senior Economists, Private Equity and Venture Capitalists, Business Leaders from Manufacturing, Travel and Tourism, Apparel and FMCG, Analytics, subject experts in the fields of Agriculture, Science and Technology and Finance.

The meeting was held at Niti Aayog here as part of the pre-budget exercise where Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways and MSME Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Railways and Commerce Piyush Goyal and Minister for Agriculture & Farmers Welfare and Rural Development, Panchayati Raj Narendra Tomar were also present.

The Prime Minister said that this would enhance the synergy between policy makers and various stakeholders.

Modi said that the idea of 5 Trillion Dollar Economy is not a sudden development and that it is based on a deep understanding of the strengths of the country.

He said that the strong absorbent capacity of Indian economy shows the strength of basic fundamentals of the Indian economy and its capacity to bounce back.
