The breakdown of the GDP data does point towards the areas which require immediate and maximum of attention, whether it is agriculture, manufacturing, construction or pure play real estate. To be fair to the government, it has been taking a series of measures to attend to the weaker links of the economy, said Sood, adding these steps should be having a positive impact after a lag. The ASSOCHAM Secretary General expressed hope that slowdown in GDP growth should be bottoming out.
