Telangana has performed well on all the parameters of development, he added.
 

Trade, Geography and Institution are the three deep drivers of development. And economists always ask what leads to growth. The basic causes of economic development are these, he added.

The first letter that is common in all three words of the theme for evening interaction is "P" and I wondered while entering this hall whether they were possible without the fourth "P" the police. 70 years after Independence, our motherland India stands tall with its head high, because of economic growth. It is this economic growth that is the foundation for peace. Whether peace or war, economic development matters, said Anjani Kumar.

 
The GDP of the world in the past 4000 years hardly changed. But it changed drastically in the last couple of decades, the senior most cop of the state added.

 
He highlighted, to have Peace, Prosperity and Progress, economic development, inclusive growth and adaptation to new technology are key.

 
We need peace from home to the workplace and with colleagues, employees, and business partners. That in turn brings prosperity. Peace and prosperity are interconnected. Venkat Jasti said.  Peace plays a role in economic growth and he gave examples of Kashmir and Pakistan. And agreed with the previous speaker that Geography also makes a huge difference to all three parameters of development.
