Sir — This refers to the article, “Budget shows the way, capacity-creation next” (March 11) by RK Pachauri. Amid a sluggish global demand, a pragmatic approach will be to invest in agriculture and rural economy so as to achieve the developmental goal. On the other hand, boosting infrastructure will create a viable environment to tap on the entrepreneurial acumen of the youth. Moreover, it will also be in synchronisation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative of Make in India. As the private sector is reluctant to invest, it will be a tight-rope walk for the Government to maintain a fine balance between fiscal deficit and public investment in the farm and allied sector. The need of hour is to accelerate economic growth.
