Focus on Agriculture, infrastructure development !

In India, Nehru neglected Agriculture. He went in for massive defence development and industrialisation, instead of upgrading infrastructure.

It is true that India produces about 267 million tonnes of foodgrains, but we can produce more. It is imperative that we upgrade infrastucture - roads, rail, airports, seaports and focus on Agriculture. More FDI is needed in Food Processing. Tourism infrastructure should also be upgraded.
