‘Global India Collaborative’ to play lead role in India achieving $5 Trillion economy target

DUBAI (UAE). India needs a larger vision to become a $5 trillion economy and with India becoming an economic superpower the neighboring countries would also benefit and prosper.  

Dr. Ved Pratap Vaidik who is a noted journalist, political analyst, and freelance columnist said this during the launch of the Global India Collaborative (GIC) here in Dubai today on Sunday.

He said that India has been the economic superpower since ancient times and also the focus center of world trade. And traders from across the world would visit India seeking trading and commerce opportunities.   

 “GIC would go a long way in promoting the Indian economy, which I have been dreaming about for the past 50 years. We can do our best in many industries including the pharmaceutical and other sectors. For these, however, we need to have a larger future vision. The education sector needs a major transformation as was done by the USA after World War II when it invested 10 percent of its GDP to promote education,” said Dr. Vaidik.

He said that if Asian nations get together, achieving $5 trilion economy was not difficult. India could become even $30 trillion economy in 10 years.

On this occasion, Dr. Vaidik also launched the GIC website www.globalindiacollaborative.com

Apart from GIC delegation representatives from India, noted trade and industry personalities from Dubai were also present on this occasion.
