New Delhi, Nov 14: Setting the prescription for a 10 per cent annual economic growth, President A P J Abdul Kalam today asked the Indian industry to sharpen its competitive
edge to enhance its share in the global market.
Inaugurating the 23rd India International Trade Fair at the Pragati Maidan here, Kalam said, "To double the GDP growth from 5 per cent to 10 per cent, there should be the right type
of management system and tapping of the vast tourism, including in Andaman and Nicobar islands and Lakshadweep."
On India achieving the developed country status by 2020, Kalam said on the one hand, there was a fierce competition among several developing countries to accelerate the growth rate, while on the other hand, the developed countries would strive to retain their position.
