We are now in the middle of the 55 years

We are now in the middle of the 55 years of planning since independence. Fifty five years is an adequate time and therefore half of this period is a good time to make an appraisal of the situation. I would beg of you to remember that although what you have already done is important it is not very important by itself, an odd factory or factories or something else you put up, you have to go to the roots of the economic problem. The roots lie in agriculture and the enormous material in the form of 950 million or more people.
