Allaying fears of
adverse impact of deficient monsoon on the Indian economy, National Statistical
Com mission Chairman Mr. Pronob Sen on recenlty said the country's growth can
be as high as 6.5 % in the current fiscal (2014-15).
Mr. Sen, who is a
former chief statistician, thinks that the government's economic growth
projection of 5.4 % to 5.9 % stated in the Economic Survey is very modest.
“In 2009, when there
was worst monsoon in previous 35 years, the economic growth rate was 6.5 %.
Now, we are talking
nearly 5.4 % growth in the current fiscal. .“ Mr. Sen told reporters after
releasing Sixth Economic Census here (Newdelhi).
