GDP targets

This refers to the editorial "Reasonable prognosis" (Business Line, April 7). The Tenth Plan rightly emphasises the need to concentrate on the manufacturing sector as against the general tendency of leapfrogging into the service sector.

China and India shared the same GDP per capita in 1990. Since then, the Chinese economy has grown faster than the Indian economy, registering over 12 per cent growth as against India's 5 per cent.

Significant attention has to be paid to three sectors — agricultural, manufacturing and the service industry to achieve the target growth rate of 8 per cent.
