NITI Aayog's development agenda will focus on MSMEs, exports: Amitabh Kant

Kolkata, May 18 (KNN) NITI Aayog will prepare a development agenda by June for 'New India 2022' which will focus on exports and MSME growth policies.

NITI Aayog will also call for a chief ministers' meeting to discuss the matter, its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Amitabh Kant said in Kolkata.

A strategy paper or development agenda, once prepared, will be handed over to the chief ministers, he said.

He said that the meeting of the CMs will be held next month in this regard. However, the date has not been finalized.

Kant was delivering a speech at Indian Chamber of Commerce on Thursday.

Kant acknowledged MSMEs create 80 percent of jobs in the country.

The growth of MSMEs and exports is required for the country to develop at a fast pace, added Kant.

"Instead of a five-year plan, we are coming out with a 15-year vision document, a development agenda 2022 and a three-year action plan, which is already in the public domain."
