Shri Goyal pointed out that in the last 30 years India’s GDP has grown 11.8 times. He remembered that there was a time when much of the population concentrated on providing the most basic necessities of life, such as food, clothing, and shelter. He noted that the situation has now improved tremendously due to the government’s extensive focus on structural reforms that ensure that people have been freed from the constant struggle for the necessities of life.

He went on to say that the reform that was closest to his heart was the government’s success in building more than 12 crore toilets, bringing safe sanitation, a very basic need, to every household in the country. “It wasn’t just about toilets, it was about dignity and self-respect, especially for our women,” he stressed.
