NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Suman Bery on Tuesday suggested that the government’s policy think tank could consider rebranding itself as “Productivity Commission”, arguing that India’s demographic dividend must be supported by a strong and sustained push to improve productivity. Speaking at a fireside chat titled ‘A path towards a modern India’ at BS Manthan, Business Standard’s flagship event held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Bery said the next 25 years will see the largest additions to India’s working-age population. This, he said, makes it essential to focus more sharply on improving labour productivity.
