  "account": "Vice-President C P Radhakrishnan emphasized the significance of consensus and inclusivity in India's journey towards becoming a developed economy. Speaking at the Kautilya Economic Conclave, 2026, Radhakrishnan stated that India could only claim to be a developed nation if its development was inclusive, benefiting all sections of society.\n\nRadhakrishnan highlighted the need for policymakers to understand the ground realities, both economically and socially, to effectively implement development policies. He cited China's success in becoming the world's second-largest economy, attributing it to their understanding of ground realities in both micro and macroeconomic contexts.\n\nThe Vice-President also underscored the importance of financial inclusion, citing India's past decade of reforms, including Jan Dhan accounts, direct benefit transfer, and Goods and Services Tax, as evidence of progress in this area. Radhakrishnan emphasized that consensus-building, though sometimes gradual, is crucial for the success of reforms and helps ensure that the benefits of development reach every segment of society.",
