India's new agri laws have potential to raise farm income; social safety net needed: IMF's Gita Gopinath

Indian agriculture is in need of reforms, she said. There are multiple areas where the reforms are needed, including infrastructure, the Chief Economist of the Washington-based global financial institution said.
