At the recent NITI Aayog Governing Council meeting in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a strong appeal to the chief ministers of Indian states. He urged them to take immediate and effective steps to reduce bureaucratic red tape, enhance exports, and align their policies with India’s overarching global trade strategy. The Prime Minister noted that with the expansion of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and an ongoing reduction in poverty levels, the time is ripe for states to contribute actively to the nation’s economic growth.
Prime Minister Modi emphasized the following key points:
- Streamlining Processes: Simplifying business procedures to make India a more attractive destination for foreign investments.
- Boosting Exports: Encouraging states to play a central role in increasing the country’s export profile to drive economic expansion.
- Coordination Between Governments: Enhanced collaboration between central and state governments to maximize the benefits of bilateral and multilateral trade deals.
He highlighted that these initiatives will not only bolster India’s presence in global trade but also help create employment opportunities and accelerate development at the grassroots level. State governments were encouraged to implement innovative policies that align with India’s international trade goals and improve competitiveness.
This directive aligns with the government’s broader strategy of strengthening India’s global market position by fostering cooperation across all tiers of governance. For ongoing updates on this development, keep following Questiqa India News.
