He said no other large economy in the world had grown at 7 per cent year after year.

India, he said, had jumped to 77th spot on the World Bank’s 'ease of doing' business ranking on the back of reforms and was determined to break into the top 50 next year.

The role of the government was to provide a support system, Modi said, adding that India had emerged as a land of opportunities.
