Talk on ways to revive economy

Kurukshetra: Prof MM Goel, retired from Kurukshetra University, said, “To say goodbye to the ‘cobra effect’ of debt, we should adopt the principle of needonomics based on the logo of LIC of India ‘Yogakshemam Vahamyaham’ (your welfare is our responsibility) and authenticate economic thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi which are ethical, non-violent and spiritual in nature.” While addressing the members of Ghaziabad Management Association online on ‘Needonomics for Revival of Indian Economy’, he said the strong determination for implementing Atamnirbhar Bharat Abhiyan calls for “needonomics” as the key strategy. “Indian economy can be made consumer friendly by adopting NAW (need, affordability and worth) approach to marketing of goods and services,” he added. “For bringing socio-economic transformation, we need to propagate righteous (satvik) income after paying the taxes which is good for the use of self and others entitled under altruism as social responsibility flowing from needonomics,” said Prof Goel.
