PM Highlights People-Friendly Reforms
New Delhi (PIB-GR-TYP-BIN): The Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi said that the “industry of red tape” thrives on doubt, while the “road with red carpet” is built on trust. In his remarks at the India release of the book “Red Tape to Red Carpet… and then some,” in New Delhi on June 23, the Prime Minister highlighted the people-friendly reforms initiated by the Union Government, to ease the regulatory environment in India. He said the most important reform for him has been to allow self-certification in various activities. “For misdeeds of a small number, we can’t punish all the stakeholders. So, trusting the citizens, including the corporate citizens, is the essence of our reforms,” the Prime Minister said.
The book has been written by Mrs. Gina Rinehart, the Chairperson of the Australian mining company Hancock Prospecting Group. The Australian Minister for trade and investment, Mr. Andrew Robb, and former Australian Prime Minister Mr. Paul Keating were present on the occasion.
