We should ensure that these sectors are least affected. We should have reforms but we should ensure the stability to these sectors."

He further said that the economic policies and standards need rethinking adding that employment and remuneration should be given prime consideration.

"The government should encourage people to adopting entrepreneurial skills and support them. This way we can ensure economic progress," Bhagwat added.

The RSS chief further called for an integrated policy to safeguard interests of all. While acknowledging Centre's various policy decisions to control corruption.
