Finance minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday exhorted confidence that India will retain its position of fastest growing economy in the coming decades like China did in the last three decades. “The way the situation in the world is changing there is a great opportunity that has come in the way of India. The world keep facing its challenges and (in) the last few years India has started leaving its footprints behind. And when India is leaving its footprints behind, becoming one of the faster economies in the world, it obviously means that the opportunity for India and Indians is going to increase,” Jaitley said while addressing the 17th convocation of University of Jammu.
The university conferred 185 degrees to candidates, who have qualified for the award of doctor of philosophy in 2015-16 up to 31 December 2016, besides 59 students were awarded gold medals, cash awards and certificates of merit.The finance minister said: “We are looked at as one of the bright spots in the world, and over the next one or two decades, our potential to retain that position of fast growing economy as China did in the last three decades belongs to India”.
