Speaking at the NABARD Foundation Day on mitigating agrarian distress, Jaitley said that after seeing some initial data it seems rain gods would be kinder this year as compared to last year, which would help in curbing food inflation. The department of agriculture expects the production of pulses to improve this year owing to better rainfall, he said. Jaitley expressed confidence that the economy was moving on an accelerated growth trajectory, while higher tax revenues, improving macroeconomic fundamentals and ongoing reforms make 8-10 per cent growth \"eminently achievable\".
