Union Finance Minister Shri Arun
jaitley said on Wednesday that more jobs should be created in the services
sector, in addition to those in the manufacturing sector, so that large
sections of the underemployed population in the agriculture sector could get
meaningful employment. He said research and development (R&D),
tourism, education and healthcare services had the potential to lead exports
growth in the services sector. Exports from the sector were important as they
compensated for the deficit in merchandise exports created as India imported
more goods that it exported.
The Minister
said the government was making efforts to raise the share of the manufacturing
sector in the GDP from 15 per cent to 25 per cent.
