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
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.
