Narendra Modi has been the Prime Minister of India for almost a decade now, taking over from Manmohan Singh who retired from public life. Throughout his illustrious career, Singh held several prominent roles such as chief economist, central bank governor, finance minister, and foreign minister. Although he did not meet all the expectations set for him, Singh played a significant role in implementing reforms that have contributed to India’s success today.
Singh is widely credited with the economic liberalization that has led to a reduction of poverty levels in India over the years. Despite this, there is a noticeable decline in the energy and momentum that characterized his time as a policymaker in the 1990s and 2000s.
Many people who witnessed Singh’s era as a policymaker acknowledge the impact he had on shaping India’s economic landscape. His contributions have played a vital role in the country’s development and progress, and his legacy will continue to be remembered in the years to come.
