Aatmanirbhar Bharat 3.0 to push job creation & stronger recovery of economy: ASSOCHAM

Kolkata, Nov 12 (UNI) Government’s continuous support and the new announcements under
the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Yojana 3.0 will make the road to recovery post-pandemic stronger
and facilitate and incentivize job creation, and provide much relief and impetus to housing and infrastructure sector,” said Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, President ASSOCHAM reacting to the announcement of the 7th major stimulus package after pandemic by the Union Finance Minister,
Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi.
“It is a good Diwali gift from the government,” he said. FM announced 12 measures to counter
the effects of Covid pandemic lockdown on the economy and people.
“Strong growth and an increase in demand have propelled the economy on a rebound. “The
effects of previous announcements Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan 1.0 & 2.0 are evident by the
RBI’s prediction of a strong likelihood of economy returning to positive growth in Q3 rather
than Q4 earlier by the quarter,” he said.
“The measures announced by today is a kind of relief the infra and housing industries were
looking forward to. It would certainly push the sluggish demand in the housing sector and will
also address the issue of unsold inventory in the sector. The announcement will also push the infrastructure sector out of the doldrums. The tax relief will take some pressure off the end-user
and also the provider,” exclaimed Dr Hiranandani.
“The additional outlay of Rs 18000 crore for PMAY over and above the budget estimate will
help lakhs of Indians in the urban and semi-urban area to fulfil their dream of a home in such a
dire situation,” he said.
Dr Hiranandani believes that by providing fertilizer subsidy of Rs 65,000 crore to farmers and
Rs 900 crore for the research and development and of Covid vaccine, the government has once
again proved that it does not let go of the focus on the core issues while taking care of the rest
of the problem.
“The total stimulus provided by the Government and RBI is 15 per cent of the GDP which is
been our demand and suggestion right from the beginning,” he reiterated. So far the government
has announced Rs. 29.87 lakh crore stimulus packages in 7 instalments since the Covid lockdown.
