The Hindu
Describing the Budget 2021-22 as "extremely good", former RBI Governor Bimal Jalan on Tuesday said that India's high priority for now should be to grow at 7%-8%, and then give a "great preference" for employment rather than only investment.
In an interview with PTI, Mr. Jalan further said it does not seem that India will be able to achieve a $5-trillion economy target by 2024-25.
