Mr. Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog, today exhorted women entrepreneurs to exploit their immense innovative power and raise their contribution to India\u2019s GDP. Worldwide, women contribute to 40% to GDP while in India their contribution is 17%. \u201cIf women\u2019s share in India\u2019s GDP rises to 40%, the country would be able to add $700 billion to its GDP by 2025,\u201d he said while addressing a FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) meeting on \u2018Make in India: Hand Made in India\u2019<\/p>\n

\nMr. Kant said that India is an innovative society and this was demonstrated by the fact that over 1500 international companies had set up global innovation centres in India. He said India needs to grow at 9-10% annually for the next 10 years to take care of its myriad problems and this could be achieved through the dint of hard work of young entrepreneurs, especially women entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Fashion Designer, in his remarks, said that today\u2019s millennials were exposed to luxury from modern gadgets to international schooling. \u201cThe \u2018Make in India\u2019 campaign cannot be successful if Indians do not understand the importance of being Indian,\u201d he declared.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\nMr. Mukerjee said that Indians still think that what one gets outside is best in the world. This had to change. \u201cIf India paid as much attention to its social and cultural roots rather than just religion, India will be a different country,\u201d he said, adding that the day India starts organizing itself, China will become a distant cousin.<\/p>\n

Ms. Vinita Bimbhet, President, FLO, said that after the Government\u2019s \u2018Make in India\u2019 campaign, the Niti Aayog\u2019s proposed \u2018Handmade in India\u2019 campaign will help revive the country\u2019s hand woven and hand crafted heritage and leverage the synergy between handlooms, art, handicrafts, khadi & village industries and play a bigger role in global markets.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n
