THE PRIME MINISTERS VISION

Doubling the per capita income of the country in ten years and of

providing 100 million work opportunities over the same period.

The very fact that the Prime Minister chose to go against the tide of

popular sentiment and assert confidence in the growth potential of our

economy

It was most heartening to find that almost everyone firmly believedthat the Prime Ministers vision was attainable, but that it would

necessitate fundamental changes in the way things were done.
