'We need to stop dividing country; govt, industry need to do more'
Billionaire Nadir Godrej has said we need to "stop dividing the country" and urged the government as well as the industry to "do more" on this aspect. Godrej, the chairman and managing director of the diversified Godrej Industries, said we are doing very well on the economic front and also undertaking welfare measures like financial inclusion and education, but efforts ought to be made to "unify the country". "I think we need to try and unify the country and stop dividing the country. I think that is important and I am sure the government also recognises the economic growth requires that, and we should be focusing on that," Godrej told PTI on the sidelines of a book launch earlier this week. When asked if the industry also needs to do more on this front, he said, "Of course, industry should try and do things also by trying to be as inclusive as possible. And the government should also do more." Godrej's comments are rare among top industrialists, who generally refrain from speaking04-09-2022
