NEW DELHI: Asserting that all out efforts were being made to enhance agriculture productivity to ensure supplies of foodgrains and other essential commodities, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday said India needed massive industrialisation for shifting employment from the farm sector.
Admitting agriculture growth momentum has been a "problem", Singh, replying to the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address in Rajya Sabha, said India must look at industrialisation for taking care of unemployment and underemployment.
Apparently referring to the opposition to the setting up of a Tata Motors project at Singur in West Bengal, he said one or two such incidents are bound to be there.
The Prime Minister said West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya had emphasised on the need for industrialisation.
