Modi underlines a host of reform measures undertaken by govt

New Delhi: Citing India’s commitment to deep economic reforms and ease of doing business, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday asserted that this is the best time to invest in the country as policy-making is focused on the needs for the next 25 years for a ‘clean and green’ as well as ‘sustainable and reliable’ growth period.

In his special address to the World Economic Forum’s online Davos Agenda 2022 summit, Modi underlined a host of reform measures undertaken by his government to stress that it has worked to reduce the administration’s interference in business by deregulating many sectors and to clear the way for free trade agreements with different countries.

India was once associated with “license raaj�?, he noted and highlighted the measures, including reduction of corporate tax to boost business and doing away with over 25,000 compliance requirements.

He also mentioned about new challenges, including crypto currencies, facing the world and said they call for different countries to respond together as measures by any one country may be inadequate.

Inflation, climate change and supply chain disruptions were the other challenges cited by the Prime Minister.

Wondering if various multilateral forums are prepared or have the strength to deal with new challenges in the emerging world order, Modi pushed for reforms in them and said this is every democratic country’s responsibility so that these organisations are competent to deal with present and future needs.

The Prime Minister said India is committed to becoming a reliable partner in the global supply chain and highlighted its export to many countries of medicines and COVID vaccines as part of its “One Earth, One Health�? vision that saved millions of lives.

India is today the world’s third largest pharma producer and pharmacy to the world, he said.

Highlighting India’s democratic credentials, Modi said the country has given the world the beautiful gift of “bouquet of hope�? which includes technologies to empower the 21st century, Indians’ unbreakable trust in democracy, their temperament and technology.

The fact is that India is a multilingual and multicultural country that has adapted to work for the welfare of entire humanity and just not for itself, he said.

India is sending record number of software engineers across the world while over 50 lakh software developers are working in the country, the prime minister said and noted that its IT sector worked round the clock during the coronavirus pandemic to help the world.
