More quotes by Manmohan Singh
India happens to be a rich country inhabited by very poor people.
Manmohan Singh
Let me say that I think the economic history of the last 150 years clearly shows that if you want to industrialize a country in a short period, let us say 20 years, and you don't have a well-developed private sector, entrepreneurial class, then central planning is important.
Manmohan Singh
I think the Chinese do have visions of being a great power. And I think it's legitimate. And I don't see that that's a danger to us.
Manmohan Singh
If the economy grows enough, fast enough, the tech system should be modernized so that the tax revenues rise fast enough also, and we should put more money in education.
Manmohan Singh
Yes, I think India's economy always has been a mixed economy, and by Western standards we are much more of a market economy than a public sector-driven economy.
Manmohan Singh
Meaningful solutions to the problems of mass poverty that prevails in India I believe can only be found in the framework of an expanding economy.
Manmohan Singh
Democracies don't go to war.
Manmohan Singh
No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.
Manmohan Singh
We should put more money in health. We should put more money in devising credible social safety nets for the poor.
Manmohan Singh
I think the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Manmohan Singh
The United States and India can work together.
Manmohan Singh
Ethical and responsible behavior needs to become the cornerstone of corporate behavior
Manmohan Singh
The Indian economy grew at 5.5 percent, but if you look at the last 30 years - for example, 1960 to 1985 - the progress made by East Asian countries was phenomenal. In a single generation they had been able to transform the character of their economy. They were able to get rid of chronic poverty.
Manmohan Singh
Economic policy and decision making do not function in a political vacuum.
Manmohan Singh
The first and foremost priority is to finish the unfinished task which the founding fathers of India set out for us at the time of our independence: to get rid of chronic poverty, ignorance, and disease, which have afflicted millions and millions of our people.
Manmohan Singh
I believe that without looking at each other as rivals or as competitors, in a democratic India, operating in the framework of an open economy, an open society has, I think, some significance for developing countries, not only in Asia but outside Asia.
Manmohan Singh
I look upon India-U.S. nuclear cooperation as an act of historic reconciliation.
Manmohan Singh
If you don't have a functioning financial system the world economy won't be revived. All the major economies have their responsibility to assist at a pace which is required to clean up the balance sheet of the banking system and to ensure that credit flows are resumed.
Manmohan Singh
70 percent of India's imports of oil and oil products are imported from abroad. There is uncertainty about supply. There is uncertainty about prices. And that hurts India's development.
Manmohan Singh
So outside agriculture, in manufacturing and services, we must create a lot more jobs. But that also means that we must ensure that our systems of general education and technical education are in line with the job requirements that a more modern manufacturing and a more modern services sector would require.
Manmohan Singh
