“India has been among fastest-growing major economies.

There’ve also been sector-specific incentive schemes,” President Murmu said.
Speaking of the India’s Presidency for G20, President Murmu said, “G20 presidency is an opportunity to promote democracy and multilateralism and the right forum for shaping a better world and a better future.”
“Under India’s leadership, I’m sure, G20 will be able to further enhance its efforts to build a more equitable and sustainable world order,” the president said.
“As G20 represents about two-thirds of the world population and around 85% of global GDP, it is an ideal forum to discuss and find solutions for global challenges. To my mind, global warming and climate change are the most pressing among them,” President Murmu said.
The president also commended every citizen for contributing to the progress of the nation. President Murmu said, “I commend the roles of farmers, workers, scientists and engineers whose combined strength enables our country to live up to the spirit of “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan, Jai Anusandhan”.
