The home minister Shri Rajnath Singh gave
a clear message that 'it is possible to succeed in India -06.08.2014
Home Minister Rajnath Singh started his speech
at the annual management awards function with these two references to
immigrants with a declaration that the new government wants to stop this brain
drain and create an enabling environment so that everyone could contribute to
national progress.
The All India Management Association (AIMA) awards also posed a
pointer for overseas Indians by honoring eleven outstanding captains of
industry and trade who had achieved success despite the so-called tough
business environment of India .
In some cases, they started from scratch and built multi-billion dollar
enterprises employing thousands of people. The message is clear, 'Yes, it is
possible to succeed in India .'
Significantly, the new government is working
hard to create an enabling environment for the expansion of business and
industry. The home minister said that government's first priority was to
control inflation; the second priority was to encourage investment and the
third to create infrastructure.
In a few weeks, new policies for manufacturing
and infrastructure will be announced to boost the economy and create more jobs,
declared Singh. The government was trying to turn India into an investor-friendly
country to encourage domestic investment as opposed the local investors
investing in foreign countries as in the recent past.
"We will see how to bring back the
domestic investment which has gone out of the country. We have great hopes and
strong confidence. Till we revive economy, till we bring back confidence of
investors, we will make all effort," he said.
"We are making our constant efforts
to turn this mandate of hope into a mandate of confidence. We are taking steps
to revive economy and as a first step, we are trying to control
inflation," he said, adding the interest rate would come down only when we
are able to check price rise.
The home minister said the NDA government
wants to make India
an economic super power and this government has the political leadership as
well as zeal to do it. When India
become a super-economic power then it will also become a super-spiritual power
or 'Jagat Guru" and regain its glory in the 21st century,
he declared.
