More quotes by 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
We are a mixed economy. We will remain a mixed economy. The public and private sector will continue to play a very important role. The private sector in our country has very ample scope and I am confident that India's entrepreneurs have the capacity, and the will to rise to the occasion.
Manmohan Singh
I do recognize that India has to be the center, the hub of activity as far as the knowledge economy is concerned.
Manmohan Singh
Ethical and responsible behavior needs to become the cornerstone of corporate behavior
Manmohan Singh
In a world in which technology is changing at such a fast pace, where demand conditions change very fast, we need to look at a more innovative mechanism to cut down on this rigmarole of many tiers of decision-making processes.
Manmohan Singh
Our vision is not just of economic growth, but also of a growth which would improve the life of the common man.
Manmohan Singh
Sachin Tendulkar is a guy you don't want to chat to period, because he will knuckle down- Brett Lee tells you why one must never sledge Sachin Tendulkar It is an amazing achievement to play for the country for over two decades and still continue to be the team's anchor. Sachin makes all of us so very proud
Manmohan Singh
We have to walk on two legs. We have to create conditions in which manufacturing and services - the economy outside agriculture - move and move fast enough. And at the same time the working force that is available must have skills which will fit the kind of jobs which will be in demand.
Manmohan Singh
The Chinese have certain advantages. The fact that it's a single party government. But I do believe in the long run the fact that India is a functioning democracy committed to the rule of law. Our system is slow to move but I'm confident that once decisions are taken they are going to be far more durable.
Manmohan Singh
I am not very good at statistics. I am also a poor thinker.
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
Life is never free of contradictions
Manmohan Singh
China is very important. The future growth of China, China's influence is bound to rise.
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
The Chinese economy is growing at the rate of 9 percent the Indian economy growing at the rate of 8 percent - enormous I think opportunities for two-way flow of trade, technology and investment.
Manmohan Singh
I think the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
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
The death of distance. There is hardly any middle class family in India who doesn't have a son, a daughter, a son-in-law, a brother, a brother-in-law in the United States. That is a very powerful new bond.
Manmohan Singh
India's saving rate will go up. India's investment rate will go up. And I believe that's a plus point.
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
