Congress Says 'Make in India' Initiative Falls Short on Investment and Job Growth
The Congress party criticized the Modi government's 'Make in India' initiative on its 12th anniversary, stating that it has not delivered the expected private investment boom or broad-based job growth. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh cited data showing manufacturing sector growth has often lagged behind overall economic growth over the past 12 years. Launched in 2014, the initiative aimed to boost investment, innovation, and manufacturing in India, but these goals remain unmet according to Congress claims.
