)

*Country is witnessing unprecedented economic growth at present, and  
is likely to be similar this year as well.
*Country has not witnessed such consistently high growth rates since  
1996.
*If current momentum of growth is maintained for next five to ten  
years, eradicating poverty, ignorance, hunger and disease is now a  
possibility, and not just a dream.
.It is time to create history and build a new India, where no barriers  
between the Government and the people.

face. We expect that there will be an improvement in the situation by  
the end of this year.
* Appeal to businessmen and industrialists to join in effort to tackle  
difficult situation and fulfil their social obligations.
