Manmohan Singh: The giant whose shoulders a viksit India will stand on

The gamut of reforms introduced has been widening. Starting with fiscal and financial sector reforms, they have been extended to other sectors. The reforms witnessed in early 1990s had a big impact when Dr Manmohan Singh became Prime Minister. Between 2005-06 and 2007-08, India's real growth was in excess of 9%, a remarkable achievement. After 2011-12, the growth declined but that was partly cyclical.
