Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Dear Amitabh


Dear Amitabh ,

 

Just came across the following news-report on Net

 

Whereas " naming / shaming " states which are laggards in " Ease of Doing Business " is , without doubt , a sound motivational strategy , I believe , there is also a " Need " to introduce concrete steps which will help them improve their own " Response Time " whenever a Foreign Company blasts " Interest Messages " to Indian Companies , located in various States

 

As mentioned in my earlier email , from 4th March , we have installed " Email Alerts " feature on,

 

www.B2BmessageBlaster.com  ( B2B )

 

This will alert the " State Administrations " of such " Interest Messages " from Foreign Companies and enable the " State Officers " to respond pro-actively , to facilitate setting up of Manufacturing Operations in their state

 

All that remains is , uploading of that simple HTML text page ( " Find Indian Partners " - attached ) on " Make In India " web site

 

I do hope , you will issue the necessary instructions ( to the Web-Master ) , soon

 

If he has any questions , he can reach me on 0- 98,67,55,08,08

 

Or , I can call him up if you send me his Mobile Number

 

Hoping for your positive response , soon

 

with regards ,

 

hemen  parekh

Plan to Name, Shame States that fail 98-pt ease of Biz test

Posted on Mar 19, 2015 in Tamil Nadu
CHENNAI: In a bid to boost investments and ease the process of doing business in the country, the Union government has come up with a 98-point agenda for states to comply by May-end.
Addressing the Annual Regional Meeting of the Confederation of Indian Industry (southern region) on Wednesday, Amitabh Kant, Union secretary for the department of industrial policy and promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, said the Centre has specified the May-end deadline for states to comply, failing which it would name and shame them.
We will name and shame the states that rank poorly in ease of doing business (EDB),” Kant said.
The 98 points listed by the Centre fall under the ambit of states, and include labour compliance, power connection and availability of land.
Kant said the Centre is obtaining the help of the International Finance Corporation and World Bank to evaluate the performance of states on being investor-friendly. This process is likely to begin from June or July. He also urged the CII to help pressure the states to comply with the 98 points. “It is not for the World Bank but for the growth of India,” he added.
Kant projected a record foreign direct investment this fiscal and said the inflows recorded 36 per cent growth so far. Stating that the key challenge is to take India’s economic growth trajectory to 9-10 per cent per annum, Kant said the government is doing away with some controls.
He said the government is going in for e-based platforms to do business and listed the integration of 14 services of the Union government on the eBiz platform.
These include services pertaining to the DIPP, industrial licence, employers’ registration with ESIC, EPFO, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, RBI, income tax and foreign trade.
