National Skill Development Mission
e s
u r
The National Skill Development Mission was approved by the Union Cabinet on 01.07.2015, and officially launched by the
t
Hon’ble Prime Minister on 15.07.2015 on the occasion of World Youth Skills Day. The Mission has been developed to create
convergence across sectors and States in terms of skill training activities. Further, to achieve the vision of ‘Skilled India’,
c
the National Skill Development Mission would not only consolidate and coordinate skilling efforts, but also expedite decision
e
making across sectors to achieve skilling at scale with speed and standards. It will be implemented through a streamlined
l
institutional mechanism driven by Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). Key institutional
mechanisms for achieving the objectives of the Mission have been divided into three tiers, which will consist of a Governing
Council for policy guidance at apex level, a Steering Committee and a Mission Directorate (along with an Executive
C
Committee) as the executive arm of the Mission. Mission Directorate will be supported by three other institutions: National
Skill Development Agency (NSDA), National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), and Directorate General of Training
S
(DGT) – all of which will have horizontal linkages with Mission Directorate to facilitate smooth functioning of the national
institutional mechanism. Seven sub-missions have been proposed initially to act as building blocks for achieving overall
objectives of the Mission. They are:
P
(i) Institutional Training, (ii) Infrastructure, (iii) Convergence, (iv) Trainers, (v) Overseas Employment, (vi) Sustainable
Livelihoods, (vii) Leveraging Public Infrastructure.

u r
THE ‘MAKE IN INDIA’ CAMPAIGN HAS ITS ORIGIN IN THE PRIME
c t
MINISTER’S INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH IN WHICH HE GAVE A CLARION
CALL FOR “MAKE IN INDIA” AND “ZERO DEFECT; ZERO EFFECT”
POLICIES.
le
S C
THE CAMPAIGN AIMS TO FACILITATE INVESTMENT, FOSTER INNOVATION,
ENHANCE SKILL DEVELOPMENT, PROTECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY,
P
AND BUILD BEST-IN-CLASS MANUFACTURING INFRASTRUCTURE IN
INDIA.

WHY?
es
ur
BY 2013, INDIA’S GROWTH RATE HAD FALLEN TO ITS LOWEST LEVEL IN A
DECADE.
c t
l e
THE PROMISE OF THE BRICS NATIONS (BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, CHINA
AND SOUTH AFRICA) HAD FADED.
S C
INDIA WAS TAGGED AS ONE OF THE SO-CALLED ‘FRAGILE FIVE’-BRAZIL,
INDIA, INDONESIA, SOUTH AFRICA AND TURKEY
P
INDIA WAS ON THE BRINK OF SEVERE ECONOMIC FAILURE
U
s
e
u r
c t
l e
WHETHER INDIA WAS TOO BIG TO SUCCEED OR TOO BIG TO FAIL
P
U
WHAT’S NEW?
es
ur
IT REPRESENTS A COMPLETE CHANGE OF THE GOVERNMENT’S MINDSET – A SHIFT FROM
t
ISSUING AUTHORITY TO BUSINESS PARTNER, IN KEEPING WITH PRIME MINISTER'S TENET OF
c
‘MINIMUM GOVERNMENT, MAXIMUM GOVERNANCE’.
e
IT WAS INTENDED TO BE ABLE TO:
l
(A) INSPIRE CONFIDENCE IN INDIA’S CAPABILITIES AMONGST POTENTIAL PARTNERS ABROAD,
THE INDIAN BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND CITIZENS AT LARGE; (B) PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK
FOR A VAST AMOUNT OF TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON 25 INDUSTRY SECTORS; AND (C)
C
REACH OUT TO A VAST LOCAL AND GLOBAL AUDIENCE VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AND CONSTANTLY
S
KEEP THEM UPDATED ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES, REFORMS, ETC.
THE DEPARTMENT FOR PROMOTION OF INDUSTRY AND INTERNAL TRADE (DPIIT) WORKED
P
WITH A GROUP OF HIGHLY SPECIALISED AGENCIES TO BUILD BRAND NEW INFRASTRUCTURE,
INCLUDING A DEDICATED HELP DESK AND A MOBILE-FIRST WEBSITE THAT PACKED A WIDE
U
ARRAY OF INFORMATION INTO A SIMPLE AND SLEEK MENU

ROAD MAP
e s
u r
25 SECTOR BROCHURES WERE DEVELOPED - CONTENTS INCLUDED KEY FACTS AND FIGURES, POLICIES AND
t
INITIATIVES AND SECTOR-SPECIFIC CONTACT DETAILS, ALL OF WHICH WAS MADE AVAILABLE IN PRINT AND
c
ON THE WEBSITE.
e
PARTICIPATION FROM UNION MINISTERS, SECRETARIES TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, STATE
l
GOVERNMENTS, INDUSTRY LEADERS, AND VARIOUS KNOWLEDGE PARTNERS.
NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SECTOR SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES IN DECEMBER 2014 BROUGHT SECRETARIES TO
C
THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA AND INDUSTRY LEADERS TOGETHER TO DEBATE AND FORMULATE AN ACTION
PLAN FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, AIMED AT RAISING THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE MANUFACTURING
S
SECTOR TO 25% OF THE GDP BY 2020 t.me/upscyoutubeclasses
P
THIS PLAN WAS PRESENTED TO THE PRIME MINISTER, UNION MINISTERS, INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS AND
INDUSTRY LEADERS BY THE SECRETARIES TO THE UNION GOVERNMENT AND THE CHIEF SECRETARY,
MAHARASHTRA ON BEHALF OF STATE GOVERNMENTS.
U
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WAS MADE A HALLMARK OF THE MAKE IN INDIA INITIATIVE.
e s
OBSOLETE AND OBSTRUCTIVE FRAMEWORKS OF THE PAST HAVE BEEN DISMANTLED AND REPLACED WITH A
r
TRANSPARENT AND USER-FRIENDLY SYSTEM. THIS IS HELPING DRIVE INVESTMENT, FOSTERING INNOVATION,
DEVELOPING SKILLS, PROTECTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) AND BUILDING BEST-IN-CLASS
u
MANUFACTURING INFRASTRUCTURE.
t
OPENING OF KEY SECTORS – INCLUDING RAILWAYS, DEFENCE, INSURANCE AND MEDICAL DEVICES – TO
c
SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER LEVELS OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT.
l e
MINISTRY HAS ENGAGED WITH THE WORLD BANK GROUP TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT IN LINE
WITH WORLD BANK’S ‘DOING BUSINESS’ METHODOLOGY.
C
INVESTOR FACILITATION CELL (IFC) DEDICATED FOR THE MAKE IN INDIA CAMPAIGN WAS FORMED IN
S
SEPTEMBER 2014 WITH AN OBJECTIVE TO ASSIST INVESTORS IN SEEKING REGULATORY APPROVALS,
P
THE INDIAN EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES INVOLVED. DPIIT HAS SET UP A SPECIAL MANAGEMENT TEAM TO
FACILITATE AND FAST TRACK INVESTMENT PROPOSALS FROM JAPAN. THE TEAM KNOWN AS ‘JAPAN PLUS’
U
-OCTOBER 2014.
'KOREA PLUS', LAUNCHED IN JUNE 2016, FACILITATES FAST TRACK INVESTMENT PROPOSALS FROM SOUTH
KOREA

P
U
es
THE INITIATIVE SEEKS TO WOO DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN INVESTORS BY PROMISING A BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO
r
THEM.
INDIA WILL OFFER A RED CARPET TO AN INVESTOR INSTEAD OF THE HITHERTO RED TAPE THAT THEY FACED.
u
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, VARIOUS STATE GOVERNMENTS, BUSINESS CHAMBERS AND OVERSEAS INDIAN MISSIONS ARE ALL
t
EXPECTED TO PLAY A KEY ROLE IN THE SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF THIS INITIATIVE.
c
INVEST INDIA, THE COUNTRY’S OFFICIAL AGENCY FOR INVESTMENT PROMOTION AND FACILITATION, WILL ACT AS THE INITIAL
REFERENCE POINT FOR GUIDING FOREIGN INVESTORS ON ALL ASPECTS OF REGULATORY AND POLICY ISSUES AND WOULD ALSO
e
HELP THEM IN OBTAINING REGULATORY CLEARANCES. THE GOVERNMENT IS CLOSELY LOOKING TO OVERHAUL REGULATORY
l
PROCESSES IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM SIMPLE AND REDUCE THE BURDEN OF COMPLIANCE ON INVESTORS.
P
U
es
A WEB PORTAL (WWW.MAKEININDIA.COM) HAS BEEN CREATED TO ANSWER INVESTOR
r
QUERIES.
u
THE PORTAL HAS A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF FAQS WHICH WOULD HELP THE INVESTOR FIND
t
INSTANT ANSWERS TO THEIR GENERAL QUERIES.
e c
THE PORTAL WILL HAVE A BACK-END SUPPORT TEAM, WHO WOULD SEEK TO ANSWER
l
SPECIFIC QUERIES WITHIN A PERIOD OF 72 HOURS.
THE WEBSITE WILL MAKE USE OF ANALYTICS TO TRACK VISITORS’ LOCATION, INTERESTS,
C
ETC. AND THE USER EXPERIENCE WILL BE CUSTOMISED FOR THE VISITOR BASED ON THE
S
INFORMATION COLLECTED. VISITORS CAN ALSO REGISTER ON THE WEBSITE TO RECEIVE
RELEVANT INFORMATION AND UPDATES WITH NEWSLETTERS. AN INVESTOR FACILITATION
P
CELL WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE FOREIGN INVESTORS FROM THE TIME OF THEIR
ARRIVAL IN THE COUNTRY TO THE TIME OF THEIR DEPARTURE.
U
es
DOMESTICALLY, THE ‘MAKE IN INDIA’ INITIATIVE AIMS TO IDENTIFY DOMESTIC COMPANIES
r
HAVING LEADERSHIP IN INNOVATION AND NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR TURNING THEM INTO
GLOBAL PLAYERS. THE FOCUS WILL BE ON PROMOTING GREEN AND ADVANCED
u
MANUFACTURING AND HELPING THESE COMPANIES TO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE
t
GLOBAL VALUE CHAIN.
e c
THE GOVERNMENT HAS IDENTIFIED 25 KEY SECTORS IN WHICH INDIAN INDUSTRIES HAVE THE
l
POTENTIAL TO COMPETE WITH THE BEST IN THE WORLD. THESE SECTORS HAVE BEEN
LISTED ON THE MAKE IN INDIA WEB PORTAL AND SEPARATE BROCHURES FOR THESE
SECTORS WILL BE RELEASED ALONG WITH A GENERAL BROCHURE TO GUIDE COMPANIES.
C
THE BROCHURES COVERING
S
SECTORS LIKE AUTOMOBILES, AVIATION, CHEMICALS, IT, LEATHER, PHARMACEUTICALS,
P
PORTS, TEXTILES, TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY, WELLNESS AND RAILWAYS AMONG OTHERS
WILL PROVIDE DETAILS OF GROWTH DRIVERS, INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES, FDI AND OTHER
U
POLICIES SPECIFIC TO THAT SECTOR AND DETAILS OF RELEVANT AGENCIES.

es
TO IMPROVE INDIA`S RANKING, REFORMS ARE BEING UNDERTAKEN IN AREAS SUCH AS
r
STARTING A BUSINESS, OBTAINING CONSTRUCTION PERMITS, PROPERTY REGISTRATION,
GETTING POWER SUPPLY, PAYING TAXES, ENFORCING CONTRACTS, AND RESOLVING
u
INSOLVENCY.
t
TIME BOUND CLEARANCES FOR APPLICATIONS OF FOREIGN INVESTORS, AUTOMATION OF
c
PROCESSES FOR REGISTRATION WITH THE EMPLOYEES PROVIDENT FUND ORGANIZATION
e
AND EMPLOYEES STATE INSURANCE CORPORATION, REDUCING THE NUMBER OF
l
DOCUMENTS FOR EXPORTS, ADOPTION OF BEST PRACTICES BY STATES IN GRANTING
CLEARANCES
E-BIZ PORTAL: THE GOVERNMENT TO BUSINESS (G2B) PORTAL IS BEING SET UP TO SERVE
C
AS A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR DELIVERY OF SERVICES TO INVESTORS AND TO ADDRESS THE
S
NEEDS OF BUSINESS FROM INCEPTION THROUGH TO THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE OF THE
BUSINESS. THE PROCESS OF APPLYING FOR INDUSTRIAL LICENCE (IL) AND INDUSTRIAL
P
ENTREPRENEUR MEMORANDUM (IEM) IS NOW AVAILABLE
ENVIRONMENTAL AND FOREST CLEARANCES: APPLICATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENT, COASTAL
U
REGULATION ZONE (CRZ), AND FOREST CLEARANCES CAN NOW BE SUBMITTED ONLINE. THE
DECISION-MAKING PROCESS FOR CLEARANCES HAS BEEN DECENTRALISED.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS LIBERALISED FDI POLICY:
e s
r
A. 100% FDI UNDER AUTOMATIC ROUTE HAS BEEN ALLOWED IN CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE
u
OF SPECIFIED RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.
t
B. FDI CAP IN DEFENCE HAS BEEN RAISED FROM 26% TO 49%.
C. THE NORMS FOR FDI IN THE CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT SECTOR ARE BEING EASED.
e c
LABOUR-SECTOR REFORMS: MULTIPLE OVERLAPPING AND INFLEXIBLE LABOUR LAWS HAVE BEEN AN
l
IMPEDIMENT TO THE GROWTH OF MANUFACTURING SECTOR IN INDIA. THE NEW GOVERNMENT HAS INITIATED
A SET OF LABOUR REFORM MEASURES SUCH AS:
C
A SHRAM SUVIDHA PORTAL HAS BEEN LAUNCHED FOR ONLINE REGISTRATION OF UNITS, FILING OF
SELF-CERTIFIED ONLINE RETURN BY UNITS, COMPUTERISED LABOUR INSPECTION SCHEME, ONLINE
S
UPLOADING OF INSPECTION REPORTS WITHIN SEVENTY-TWO HOURS AND TIMELY REDRESSAL OF
GRIEVANCES. t.me/upscyoutubeclasses
A UNIVERSAL ACCOUNT NUMBER HAS BEEN LAUNCHED TO ENSURE PORTABILITY OF PROVIDENT FUND
P
ACCOUNTS FOR EMPLOYEES.
WITH A VIEW TO PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY IN WORKING HOURS AND INCREASED INTAKE OF APPRENTICES FOR
U
ON THE JOB TRAINING, THE APPRENTICES ACT, 1961 HAS BEEN AMENDED. AN APPRENTICE PROTSAHAN
YOJANA HAS BEEN INITIATED FOR THE MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (MSME) SECTOR.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT:
e s
u r
t
IT IS QUITE TRUE THAT ‘MAKE IN INDIA’ WILL NOT BE
c
POSSIBLE WITHOUT ‘SKILL INDIA’. FOR THE
le
MANUFACTURING SECTOR TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE IMPROVED BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND
S C
PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, THE NEED FOR HAVING
A STRONG HUMAN CAPITAL HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED
P
BY POLICY MAKERS.
U
MACROECONOMIC VULNERABILITY INDEX
e s
u r
t
MACROECONOMIC VULNERABILITY INDEX, AS MENTIONED IN THE MID-YEAR ECONOMIC
ANALYSIS 2014-2015, RELEASED BY MINISTRY OF FINANCE , ADDS TOGETHER THE RATE OF
c
INFLATION, CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT AND FISCAL DEFICIT OF A COUNTRY.
l e
THE INDEX VALUE CAN BE COMPARED ACROSS COUNTRIES FOR DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS
TO GAUGE THEIR RELATIVE VULNERABILITY. THE MINISTRY HAS DONE A COMPARISON OF THE
C
“FRAGILE FIVE" COUNTRIES—BRAZIL, INDIA, INDONESIA, SOUTH AFRICA AND TURKEY.
ACCORDING TO THE DATA, IN THE BEGINNING OF 2013, INDIA WAS ON TOP OF THE LIST WITH
S
AN INDEX VALUE OF 22.4. THE CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT WAS AT 4.7% OF THE GROSS
DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP), INFLATION AT 10.2% AND BUDGET DEFICIT AT 7.5% OF GDP. FOR

National Skill Development Mission
e s
u r
The National Skill Development Mission was approved by the Union Cabinet on 01.07.2015, and officially launched by the
t
Hon’ble Prime Minister on 15.07.2015 on the occasion of World Youth Skills Day. The Mission has been developed to create
convergence across sectors and States in terms of skill training activities. Further, to achieve the vision of ‘Skilled India’,
c
the National Skill Development Mission would not only consolidate and coordinate skilling efforts, but also expedite decision
e
making across sectors to achieve skilling at scale with speed and standards. It will be implemented through a streamlined
l
institutional mechanism driven by Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). Key institutional
mechanisms for achieving the objectives of the Mission have been divided into three tiers, which will consist of a Governing
Council for policy guidance at apex level, a Steering Committee and a Mission Directorate (along with an Executive
C
Committee) as the executive arm of the Mission. Mission Directorate will be supported by three other institutions: National
Skill Development Agency (NSDA), National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), and Directorate General of Training
S
(DGT) – all of which will have horizontal linkages with Mission Directorate to facilitate smooth functioning of the national
institutional mechanism. Seven sub-missions have been proposed initially to act as building blocks for achieving overall
objectives of the Mission. They are:
P
(i) Institutional Training, (ii) Infrastructure, (iii) Convergence, (iv) Trainers, (v) Overseas Employment, (vi) Sustainable
Livelihoods, (vii) Leveraging Public Infrastructure.

THE ‘MAKE IN INDIA’ CAMPAIGN HAS ITS ORIGIN IN THE PRIME
c t
MINISTER’S INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH IN WHICH HE GAVE A CLARION
CALL FOR “MAKE IN INDIA” AND “ZERO DEFECT; ZERO EFFECT”
POLICIES.
l e
S C
THE CAMPAIGN AIMS TO FACILITATE INVESTMENT, FOSTER INNOVATION,
ENHANCE SKILL DEVELOPMENT, PROTECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY,
P
AND BUILD BEST-IN-CLASS MANUFACTURING INFRASTRUCTURE IN
INDIA.

WHY?
e s
u r
BY 2013, INDIA’S GROWTH RATE HAD FALLEN TO ITS LOWEST LEVEL IN A
DECADE.
c t
le
THE PROMISE OF THE BRICS NATIONS (BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, CHINA
AND SOUTH AFRICA) HAD FADED.
S C
INDIA WAS TAGGED AS ONE OF THE SO-CALLED ‘FRAGILE FIVE’-BRAZIL,
INDIA, INDONESIA, SOUTH AFRICA AND TURKEY
P
INDIA WAS ON THE BRINK OF SEVERE ECONOMIC FAILURE
U
e s
u r
ct
l e
WHETHER INDIA WAS TOO BIG TO SUCCEED OR TOO BIG TO FAIL
SC
P
U
WHAT’S NEW?
e s
u r
IT REPRESENTS A COMPLETE CHANGE OF THE GOVERNMENT’S MINDSET – A SHIFT FROM
t
ISSUING AUTHORITY TO BUSINESS PARTNER, IN KEEPING WITH PRIME MINISTER'S TENET OF
c
‘MINIMUM GOVERNMENT, MAXIMUM GOVERNANCE’.
e
IT WAS INTENDED TO BE ABLE TO:
l
(A) INSPIRE CONFIDENCE IN INDIA’S CAPABILITIES AMONGST POTENTIAL PARTNERS ABROAD,
THE INDIAN BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND CITIZENS AT LARGE; (B) PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK
FOR A VAST AMOUNT OF TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON 25 INDUSTRY SECTORS; AND (C)
C
REACH OUT TO A VAST LOCAL AND GLOBAL AUDIENCE VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AND CONSTANTLY
S
KEEP THEM UPDATED ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES, REFORMS, ETC.
THE DEPARTMENT FOR PROMOTION OF INDUSTRY AND INTERNAL TRADE (DPIIT) WORKED
P
WITH A GROUP OF HIGHLY SPECIALISED AGENCIES TO BUILD BRAND NEW INFRASTRUCTURE,
INCLUDING A DEDICATED HELP DESK AND A MOBILE-FIRST WEBSITE THAT PACKED A WIDE
U
ARRAY OF INFORMATION INTO A SIMPLE AND SLEEK MENU

ROAD MAP
e s
u r
25 SECTOR BROCHURES WERE DEVELOPED - CONTENTS INCLUDED KEY FACTS AND FIGURES, POLICIES AND
t
INITIATIVES AND SECTOR-SPECIFIC CONTACT DETAILS, ALL OF WHICH WAS MADE AVAILABLE IN PRINT AND
c
ON THE WEBSITE.
e
PARTICIPATION FROM UNION MINISTERS, SECRETARIES TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, STATE
l
GOVERNMENTS, INDUSTRY LEADERS, AND VARIOUS KNOWLEDGE PARTNERS.
NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SECTOR SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES IN DECEMBER 2014 BROUGHT SECRETARIES TO
C
THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA AND INDUSTRY LEADERS TOGETHER TO DEBATE AND FORMULATE AN ACTION
PLAN FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, AIMED AT RAISING THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE MANUFACTURING
S
SECTOR TO 25% OF THE GDP BY 2020
P
THIS PLAN WAS PRESENTED TO THE PRIME MINISTER, UNION MINISTERS, INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS AND
INDUSTRY LEADERS BY THE SECRETARIES TO THE UNION GOVERNMENT AND THE t.me/upscyoutubeclasses
CHIEF SECRETARY,
MAHARASHTRA ON BEHALF OF STATE GOVERNMENTS.
U
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WAS MADE A HALLMARK OF THE MAKE IN INDIA INITIATIVE.
OBSOLETE AND OBSTRUCTIVE FRAMEWORKS OF THE PAST HAVE BEEN DISMANTLED
e s AND REPLACED WITH A

r
TRANSPARENT AND USER-FRIENDLY SYSTEM. THIS IS HELPING DRIVE INVESTMENT, FOSTERING INNOVATION,
DEVELOPING SKILLS, PROTECTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) AND BUILDING BEST-IN-CLASS

THE INITIATIVE SEEKS TO WOO DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN INVESTORS BY PROMISING A BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO
r
THEM.
INDIA WILL OFFER A RED CARPET TO AN INVESTOR INSTEAD OF THE HITHERTO RED TAPE THAT THEY FACED.
u
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, VARIOUS STATE GOVERNMENTS, BUSINESS CHAMBERS AND OVERSEAS INDIAN MISSIONS ARE ALL
t
EXPECTED TO PLAY A KEY ROLE IN THE SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF THIS INITIATIVE.
c
INVEST INDIA, THE COUNTRY’S OFFICIAL AGENCY FOR INVESTMENT PROMOTION AND FACILITATION, WILL ACT AS THE INITIAL
REFERENCE POINT FOR GUIDING FOREIGN INVESTORS ON ALL ASPECTS OF REGULATORY AND POLICY ISSUES AND WOULD ALSO
e
HELP THEM IN OBTAINING REGULATORY CLEARANCES. THE GOVERNMENT IS CLOSELY LOOKING TO OVERHAUL REGULATORY
l
PROCESSES IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM SIMPLE AND REDUCE THE BURDEN OF COMPLIANCE ON INVESTORS.
S C
P
U
A WEB PORTAL (WWW.MAKEININDIA.COM) HAS BEEN CREATED TO ANSWER
e sINVESTOR
r
QUERIES.
u
THE PORTAL HAS A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF FAQS WHICH WOULD HELP THE INVESTOR FIND
t
INSTANT ANSWERS TO THEIR GENERAL QUERIES.
e c
THE PORTAL WILL HAVE A BACK-END SUPPORT TEAM, WHO WOULD SEEK TO ANSWER
l
SPECIFIC QUERIES WITHIN A PERIOD OF 72 HOURS.
THE WEBSITE WILL MAKE USE OF ANALYTICS TO TRACK VISITORS’ LOCATION, INTERESTS,
C
ETC. AND THE USER EXPERIENCE WILL BE CUSTOMISED FOR THE VISITOR BASED ON THE
S
INFORMATION COLLECTED. VISITORS CAN ALSO REGISTER ON THE WEBSITE TO RECEIVE
RELEVANT INFORMATION AND UPDATES WITH NEWSLETTERS. AN INVESTOR FACILITATION
P
CELL WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE FOREIGN INVESTORS FROM THE TIME OF THEIR
ARRIVAL IN THE COUNTRY TO THE TIME OF THEIR DEPARTURE.
U
e s
DOMESTICALLY, THE ‘MAKE IN INDIA’ INITIATIVE AIMS TO IDENTIFY t.me/upscyoutubeclasses
DOMESTIC COMPANIES
r
HAVING LEADERSHIP IN INNOVATION AND NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR TURNING THEM INTO
GLOBAL PLAYERS. THE FOCUS WILL BE ON PROMOTING GREEN AND ADVANCED
u
MANUFACTURING AND HELPING THESE COMPANIES TO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE
t
GLOBAL VALUE CHAIN.
e c
THE GOVERNMENT HAS IDENTIFIED 25 KEY SECTORS IN WHICH INDIAN INDUSTRIES HAVE THE
l
POTENTIAL TO COMPETE WITH THE BEST IN THE WORLD. THESE SECTORS HAVE BEEN
LISTED ON THE MAKE IN INDIA WEB PORTAL AND SEPARATE BROCHURES FOR THESE
SECTORS WILL BE RELEASED ALONG WITH A GENERAL BROCHURE TO GUIDE COMPANIES.
C
THE BROCHURES COVERING
S
SECTORS LIKE AUTOMOBILES, AVIATION, CHEMICALS, IT, LEATHER, PHARMACEUTICALS,
P
PORTS, TEXTILES, TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY, WELLNESS AND RAILWAYS AMONG OTHERS
WILL PROVIDE DETAILS OF GROWTH DRIVERS, INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES, FDI AND OTHER
U
POLICIES SPECIFIC TO THAT SECTOR AND DETAILS OF RELEVANT AGENCIES.

B. FDI CAP IN DEFENCE HAS BEEN RAISED FROM 26% TO 49%.
C. THE NORMS FOR FDI IN THE CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT SECTOR ARE BEING EASED.
e c
LABOUR-SECTOR REFORMS: MULTIPLE OVERLAPPING AND INFLEXIBLE LABOUR LAWS HAVE BEEN AN
l
IMPEDIMENT TO THE GROWTH OF MANUFACTURING SECTOR IN INDIA. THE NEW GOVERNMENT HAS INITIATED
A SET OF LABOUR REFORM MEASURES SUCH AS:
C
A SHRAM SUVIDHA PORTAL HAS BEEN LAUNCHED FOR ONLINE REGISTRATION OF UNITS, FILING OF
SELF-CERTIFIED ONLINE RETURN BY UNITS, COMPUTERISED LABOUR INSPECTION SCHEME, ONLINE

MACROECONOMIC VULNERABILITY INDEX

u r
t
MACROECONOMIC VULNERABILITY INDEX, AS MENTIONED IN THE MID-YEAR ECONOMIC
ANALYSIS 2014-2015, RELEASED BY MINISTRY OF FINANCE , ADDS TOGETHER THE RATE OF
c
INFLATION, CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT AND FISCAL DEFICIT OF A COUNTRY.
le
THE INDEX VALUE CAN BE COMPARED ACROSS COUNTRIES FOR DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS
TO GAUGE THEIR RELATIVE VULNERABILITY. THE MINISTRY HAS DONE A COMPARISON OF THE
C
“FRAGILE FIVE" COUNTRIES—BRAZIL, INDIA, INDONESIA, SOUTH AFRICA AND TURKEY.
ACCORDING TO THE DATA, IN THE BEGINNING OF 2013, INDIA WAS ON TOP OF THE LIST WITH
S
AN INDEX VALUE OF 22.4. THE CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT WAS AT 4.7% OF THE GROSS
DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP), INFLATION AT 10.2% AND BUDGET DEFICIT AT 7.5% OF GDP. FOR
P
THE PURPOSE OF COMPARISON, THE MINISTRY HAS TAKEN DATA FROM THE WORLD
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK OF THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND.

MEMORANDUM SHOWING THE PROCEDURE FOR APPOINTMENT AND
TRANSFER OF CHIEF JUSTICES AND JUDGES OF HIGH COURTS
s
APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF JUSTICE
re
The Government have, in consultation with the Chief Justice of
India, decided as a matter of policy to appoint the Chief Justice of all
High Courts from outside.
tu
2. In case of initial appointment of a Chief Justice of a High Court,
the provisions of Article 217 will have to be followed. In the case of
Jammu & Kashmir High Court, appointment of Chief Justice shall be
made in accordance with section 95 of the Constitution of Jammu &
Kashmir. Transfer of Chief Justice from one High Court to another will
lec
be governed by the provision of Article 222. Transfer of a Chief Justice
to and from Jammu & Kashmir High Court shall be made in accordance
with clause (1) of Article 222 of the Constitution of India read with Article
222(1A) of the Constitution (Application to Jammu & Kashmir) Order,
1954.
3. For purposes of elevation as Chief Justices the inter-se seniority

SC
of puisne Judges will be reckoned on the basis of their seniority in their

own High Courts and they will be considered for appointment as Chief
Justices in other High Courts when their turn would normally have come
for being considered for such appointment in their own High Courts.
4. A puisne Judge in a High Court who has one year or less to retire
when his turn for being considered for elevation as Chief Justice arrives
UP
may be considered for appointment as Chief Justice in his own High

Court if vacancy is to occur in the office of the Chief Justice in that High
Court during that period.
…2/-

5. Initiation of the proposal for the appointment of Chief Justice of a
s
High Court would be by the Chief Justice of India. The process of
appointment must be initiated well in time to ensure the completion at
re
least one month prior to the date of anticipated vacancy for the Chief
Justice of the High Court. The Chief Justice of India would ensure that
when a Chief Justice is transferred from one High Court to another
simultaneous appointment of his successor in office should be made
tu

should not be made for more than one month.
5.1 The Chief Justice of India would send his recommendation for the
appointment of a puisne Judge of the High Court as Chief Justice of that
lec
High Court or of another High Court, in consultation with the two senior-
most Judges of the Supreme Court. He would also ascertain the views
of the seniormost colleague in the Supreme Court who is conversant
with the affairs of the High Court in which the recommendee has been
functioning and whose opinion is likely to be significant in adjudging the
suitability of the candidate. It is of no consequence whether the Judge
of the Supreme Court, so consulted, had that High Court as Parent High
SC
Court or was transferred there from any other High Court.
5.2 t.me/upscyoutubeclasses
The views of the Judges of the Supreme Court thus consulted
would then be sent by the Chief Justice of India alongwith his proposal,
to the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs.
6. After receipt of the recommendation of the Chief Justice of India,

UP
the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs would obtain
the views of the concerned State Government. After receipt of the views
of the State Government, the Union Minister of Law, Justice and
Company Affairs, will submit proposals to the Prime Minister, who will
then advise the President as to the selection.

Department of Justice will announce the appointment and issue
necessary notification in the Gazette of India.

APPOINTMENT OF ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE
tu
8. Appointment of Acting Chief Justices is to be made by the

well in advance to make arrangement for appointment of Acting Chief
lec
Justice.
9. When it is proposed to appoint the seniormost puisne Judge on

duty, as Acting Chief Justice, as soon as above intimation is received,
the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs in the Central
Government would appoint the seniormost puisne Judge and the
Secretary to the Government of India in the Department of Justice will,
SC
inform the Chief Minister and announce the appointment and issue the

APPOINTMENT OF PERMANENT JUDGES
s
11. The Chief Justice and Judges of the High Courts are to be
re
appointed by the President under clause (1) of Article 217 of the
Constitution. The Judges of the Jammu & Kashmir High Court are to be
appointed by the President under section 95 of the Constitution of
Jammu & Kashmir. Appointments to the High Court should be made on
tu
a time bound schedule so that the appointments are made well in
advance preferably a month before the occurrence of the anticipated
vacancy.
12. When a permanent vacancy is expected to arise in any year in the

lec
office of a Judge, the Chief Justice will as early as possible but at least 6
months before the date of occurrence of the vacancy, communicate to
the Chief Minister of the State his views as to the persons to be selected
for appointment. Full details of the persons recommended, in the format
given in Annexure-I, should invariably be sent. Before forwarding his
recommendation, the Chief Justice must consult two of his seniormost
colleagues on the Bench regarding the suitability of the names
SC
proposed. All consultation must be in writing and these opinions must

be sent to the Chief Minister along with the recommendations.
13. The Chief Justice while sending his recommendation for
appointing an additional Judge as a permanent Judge, must along with
his recommendation furnish statistics of monthwise disposal of cases
and judgments rendered by the Judge concerned as well as the number
UP
of cases reported in the Law Journal duly certified by him. The

information would also be furnished regarding the total number of
working days, the number of days he actually attended the court and the
days of his absence from the Court during the period for which the
disposal statistics are sent.

….5/-

14. The proposal for appointment of a Judge of a High Court shall be
s
initiated by the Chief Justice of the High Court. However, if the Chief
Minister desires to recommend the name of any person he should
re
forward the same to the Chief Justice for his consideration. Since the
Governor is bound by the advice of the Chief Minister heading the
Council of Ministers, a copy of the Chief Justice’s proposal, with full set
of papers, should simultaneously be sent to the Governor to avoid delay.
Similarly, a copy thereof may also be endorsed to the Chief Justice of
tu
India and the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs to
expedite consideration. The Governor as advised by the Chief Minister
should forward his recommendation along with the entire set of papers
to the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs as early as
lec
possible but not later than six weeks from the date of receipt of the
proposal from the Chief Justice of the High Court. If the comments are
not received within the said time frame, it should be presumed by the
Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs that the Governor
(i.e. Chief Minister) has nothing to add to the proposal and proceed
accordingly.
15. The Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs would
SC
consider the recommendations in the light of such other reports as may be
available to the Government in respect of the names under consideration.
The complete material would then be forwarded to the Chief Justice of India
for his advice. The Chief Justice of India would, in consultation with the two
seniormost Judges of the Supreme Court, form his opinion in regard to a
person to be recommended for appointment to the High Court. The Chief
UP
Justice of India and the collegium of two Judges of the Supreme Court
would take into account the views of the Chief Justice of the High Court and
of those Judges of the High Court who have been consulted by the Chief
Justice as well as views of those Judges in the Supreme Court who are
conversant with the affairs of that High Court. It is of no consequence
whether that High Court is their parent High Court or they have functioned in
that High Court on transfer.

15.1 After their consultations, the Chief Justice of India will in course
of 4 weeks send his recommendation to the Union Minister of Law,
s
Justice and Company Affairs. Consultation by the Chief Justice of India
with his colleagues should be in writing and all such exchange of
re
correspondence with his colleagues would be sent by the Chief Justice
of India to the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs.
Once the names have been considered and recommended by the Chief
Justice of India, they should not be referred back to the State
tu
Constitutional authorities even if a change takes place in the
incumbency of any post. However, where it is considered expedient to
refer back the names, the opinion or Chief Justice of India should be
obtained. The Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs
would then put up as early as possible, preferably, within 3 weeks, the
lec
recommendation or the Chief Justice of India to the Prime Minister who
will advise the President in the matter of appointment.
16. The correspondence between the Chief Justice and the Chief
Minister and the correspondence between the Chief Minister and the
Governor, if any, should be in writing and copies of the correspondence
should invariably be forwarded along with the Chief Minister’s
SC
recommendations.
17. t.me/upscyoutubeclasses
As soon as the appointment is approved by the President, the
Secretary to the Government of India in the Department of Justice will
inform the Chief Justice of the High Court, who will obtain from the
person selected (i) a certificate of physical fitness as in Annexure II
signed by a Civil Surgeon or District medical officer, and (ii) a certificate
UP
of date of birth as in Annexure III. A copy of the communication will also

be sent simultaneously to the Chief Minister of the State. The medical
certificates should be obtained from all persons selected for
appointment whether they are at the time of appointment in the service
of the State or not. When these documents are obtained, the Chief
Justice will intimate the fact to the Secretary to the Government of India

High Court is situated, and in the case of High Court of Punjab &
Haryana, to the senior of the two Governors of these States, who would

Ministers concerned in writing and forward the same along with the
recommendations of the Chief Justice of the High Court to the Union
Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs for further appropriate
SC

15th August 2014 from the ramparts of the Red Fort.
tu
While launching the programme on 28th August, the
Prime Minister had described the occasion as a festival
to celebrate the liberation of the poor from a vicious
lec
cycle. Shri Narendra Modi had referred to the ancient
Sanskrit verse: Sukhasya Moolam Dharma, Dharmasya
Moolam Artha, Arthasya Moolam Rajyam – which puts
the onus on the state to involve people in economic
activity. “This Government has accepted this
SC
responsibility,” the Prime Minister said & the Government

has fulfilled its promise in record time.
Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana is a National Mission

UP
on Financial Inclusion which has an integrated approach

to bring about comprehensive financial inclusion and
provide banking services to all households in the country.
The scheme ensures access to a range of financial

services like availability of basic savings bank account,
access to need based credit, remittances facility,
s
insurance and pension.
re
Guinness World Records has also recognised the
achievements made under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan
tu
Yojana. It has certified that the “Most bank accounts
opened in one week as part of the Financial Inclusion
Campaign is 18,096,130 and was achieved by the
lec
Department of Financial Services, Government of India.”
Against the original target of opening bank accounts for
7.5 crore uncovered households in the country by 26th
January, 2015, banks have already opened 12.54 crore
accounts as on 31st January 2015 after conducting
SC
survey of 21.06 crore households with deposits

exceeding Rs 10,000 crores. The target was set after
conducting a survey of 21.02 crore households in the
country. Today, a coverage of almost 100% has been
UP
achieved. Out of the accounts opened, 60% are in rural

areas and 40% are in urban areas. Share of female
account holders is about 51%.

Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana provides a platform for
universal access to banking facilities with at least one
s
basic banking account for every household, financial
literacy, and access to credit, insurance and pension
re
facility. It covers both urban and rural areas and those
who open account would get indigenous Debit Card
tu
(RuPay card). Account can be opened in any bank
branch or Business Correspondent (Bank Mitr) outlet at
zero balance. Every bank account is on Core Banking
lec
System (CBS) of banks. Mobile banking using USSD
facility available on even basic feature phones is also
being supported. A facility of call centre and toll free
number is available nationwide.
PMJDY brings about the objective of financial inclusion
SC
for all by providing basic banking accounts with a debit

card with inbuilt accident insurance. The main features of
PMJDY include Rs. 5,000 overdraft facility for Aadhar-
linked accounts and a RuPay debit card with inbuilt Rs. 1
UP
lakh accident insurance cover. In addition, for accounts

opened between 15th August 2014 and 26th January
2015, a Life Insurance cover of Rupees 30,000 is
available to the eligible beneficiaries. One of the salient

features of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana is that after
remaining active for 6 months, the account holder will
s
become eligible for an overdraft of up to Rs 5,000.
re
Under the scheme, financial literacy programme which
aims to take financial literacy upto village level is
tu
provided for better understanding of the whole
mechanism. The Mission also envisages extension of
Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) under various Government
lec
Schemes through bank accounts of the recipients. The
Kisan Credit Cards (KCC) are also being linked with
RuPay platform. Micro insurance to the people, and
unorganised sector Pension schemes like Swavalamban
through the Business Correspondents have also been
SC
included for the second phase of the programme.

The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan t.me/upscyoutubeclasses
Yojana has a structured
monitoring mechanism from Central to District level. At
the Centre, Finance Minister is the Mission head along
UP
with a Steering Committee and a Mission Director. The

programme is monitored at State level by a State
Implementation Committee and in the districts by a
District Implementation Committee.

Thus, Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana not only serves
as an important example of Governance in Mission Mode
s
but also demonstrates what a Government can achieve if
it is committed to the welfare of the people.

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
tu
“A clean India would be the best tribute India could pay
to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150 birth anniversary in
2019,” said Shri Narendra Modi as he launched the
lec
Swachh Bharat Mission at Rajpath in New Delhi. On 2nd
October 2014, Swachh Bharat Mission was launched
throughout length and breadth of the country as a
national movement. The campaign aims to achieve the
vision of a ‘Clean India’ by 2nd October 2019.
SC
The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is the most significant
cleanliness campaign by the Government of India. Shri
Narendra Modi led a cleanliness pledge at India Gate,
UP
which about thirty lakh government employees across

the country joined. He also flagged off a walkathon at
Rajpath and surprised people by joining in not just for a

token few steps, but marching with the participants for a
long way.
s
While leading the mass movement for cleanliness, the
re
Prime Minister exhorted people to fulfil Mahatma
Gandhi’s dream of a clean and hygienic India. Shri
tu
Narendra Modi himself initiated the cleanliness drive at
Mandir Marg Police Station. Picking up the broom to
clean the dirt, making Swachh Bharat Abhiyan a mass
lec
movement across the nation, the Prime Minister said
people should neither litter, nor let others litter. He gave
the mantra of ‘Na gandagi karenge, Na karne denge.’
Shri Narendra Modi also invited nine people to join the
cleanliness drive and requested each of them to draw
SC
nine more into the initiative.

By inviting people to participate in the drive, the

Swachhta Abhiyan has turned into a National Movement.
UP
A sense of responsibility has been evoked among the

people through the Clean India Movement. With citizens
now becoming active participants in cleanliness activities

across the nation, the dream of a ‘Clean India’ once seen
by Mahatma Gandhi has begun to get a shape.
s
The Prime Minister has helped spread the message of
Swachh Bharat by urging people through his words &
re
action. He carried out a cleanliness drive in Varanasi as
well. He wielded a spade near River Ganga at Assi Ghat
tu
in Varanasi under the Clean India Mission. He was joined
by a large group of local people who cooperated in the
Swachhta Abhiyan. Understanding the significance of
lec
sanitation, Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has
simultaneously addressed the health problems that
roughly half of the Indians families have to deal with due
to lack of proper toilets in their homes.
SC
People from different sections of the society have come

forward and joined this mass movement of cleanliness.
From government officials to jawans, bollywood actors to
the sportspersons, industrialists to spiritual leaders, all
UP
have lined up for the noble work. Millions of people

across the country have been day after day joining the
cleanliness initiatives of the government departments,
NGOs and local community centres to make India clean.

Organising frequent cleanliness campaigns to spreading
awareness about hygiene through plays and music is
s
also being widely carried out across the nation.
re
Prime Minister himself has praised the efforts by people
and various departments and organisations for taking
tu
part in the Swachh Bharat Mission and contributing
toward a cleaner India. Shri Narendra Modi has always
openly lauded the participation of people via social
lec
media. The ‘#MyCleanIndia’ was also launched
simultaneously as a part of the Swachh Bharat drive to
highlight the cleanliness work carried out by citizens
across the nation.
SC
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has become a ‘Jan Andolan’

receiving tremendous support from the people. Citizens
too have turned out in large numbers and pledged for a
neat and cleaner India. Taking the broom to sweep the
UP
streets, cleaning up the garbage, focussing on sanitation

and maintaining a hygienic environment have become a
practice after the launch of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.

People have started to take part and are helping spread
the message of ‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness.’

Make In India
Since years policy-makers have been debating how to
s
give an impetus to manufacturingt.me/upscyoutubeclasses
in India and make India
re
a Global Manufacturing Hub. But it is Narendra Modi,
who within a matter of months, launched the ‘Make in
India’ campaign to facilitate investment, foster innovation,
tu
enhance skill development, protect intellectual property &
build best in class manufacturing infrastructure.
lec
The “Make in India” initiative is based on four pillars,
which have been identified to give boost to
entrepreneurship in India, not only in manufacturing but
also other sectors.
New Processes: ‘Make in India’ recognizes ‘ease of
SC
doing business’ as the single most important factor to

promote entrepreneurship. A number of initiatives have
already been undertaken to ease business environment.
The aim is to de-license and de-regulate the industry
UP
during the entire life cycle of a business.
New Infrastructure: Availability of modern and

facilitating infrastructure is a very important requirement

for the growth of industry. Government intends to
develop industrial corridors and smart cities to provide
s
infrastructure based on state-of-the-art technology with
modern high-speed communication and integrated
re
logistic arrangements. Existing infrastructure to be
strengthened through upgradation of infrastructure in
tu
industrial clusters. Innovation and research activities are
supported through fast paced registration system and
accordingly infrastructure of Intellectual Property Rights
lec
registration set-up has been upgraded. The requirement
of skills for industry are to be identified and accordingly
development of workforce to be taken up.
New Sectors: ‘Make in India’ has identified 25 sectors in

SC
manufacturing, infrastructure and service activities and

detailed information is being shared through interactive
web-portal and professionally developed brochures. FDI
has been opened up in Defence Production,
UP
Construction and Railway infrastructure in a big way.

New Mindset: Industry is accustomed to see Government
as a regulator. ‘Make in India’ intends to change this by
bringing a paradigm shift in how Government interacts

with industry. The Government will partner industry in
economic development of the country. The approach will
s
be that of a facilitator and not regulator.
re
The Make in India program has been built on layers of
collaborative effort. There has been from Union
tu
Ministers, Secretaries to the Government of India, state
governments, industry leaders, and various knowledge
partners. A National Workshop on sector specific
lec
industries in December 2014 brought Secretaries to the
Government of India and industry leaders together to
debate and formulate an action plan for the next three
years, aimed at raising the contribution of the
manufacturing sector to 25% of the GDP in the coming
SC
years.
These exercises resulted in a road map for the single

largest manufacturing initiative undertaken by a nation in
UP
r e c e n t h i s t o r y. T h e y a l s o d e m o n s t r a t e d t h e
transformational power of public-private partnership, and
have become a hallmark of the Make in India program.
This collaborative model has also been successfully

extended to include India’s global partners, as evidenced
by the recent in-depth interactions between India and the
s
United States of America.
In a short space of time, the obsolete and obstructive
re
frameworks of the past have been dismantled and
replaced with a transparent and user-friendly system that
tu
is helping drive investment, foster innovation, develop
skills, protect IP and build best-in-class manufacturing
infrastructure. The most striking indicator of progress is
lec
the unprecedented opening up of key sectors – including
Railways, Defence, Insurance and Medical Devices – to
dramatically higher levels of Foreign Direct Investment.
An array of measures focused on the ease of doing

SC
business in India have also been launched under the

Make India program. Brand new, IT-driven application
and tracking processes are replacing files and red tape.
A number of new initiatives have been launched in order
UP
to streamline and rationalise licensing rules at the state

government level, aligning them with global best
practices. 
From amendments in Labour law to online filing of

returns & from rationalization of the regulatory
environment to increasing the validity of industrial
s
licenses, a lot of changes have been ushered in to make
‘Make in India’ a reality.
re
Today, India’s credibility is stronger than ever. There is
tu
visible momentum, energy and optimism. Make in India
is opening investment doors. Multiple enterprises are
adopting its mantra. The world’s largest democracy is
lec
well on its way to becoming the world’s most powerful
economy.

NITI Aayog: Transforming India’s Development
Agenda
s
Reflecting the spirit and the changed dynamics of the
re
new India, the institutions of governance and policy have
to adapt to new challenges and must be built on the
founding principles of the Constitution of India, the wealth
tu
of knowledge from our civilizational history and the
present-day socio-cultural-economic contexts. The
aspirations of India and its citizens require institutional
lec
reforms in governance and dynamic policy shifts that can
seed and nurture unprecedented change.
In keeping with these changing times, the Government of

India has decided to set up NITI Aayog (National
SC
Institution for Transforming India), in place of the

erstwhile Planning Commission, as a means to better
serve the needs and aspirations of the people of India. A
wide consultation was held prior to the formation of NITI
UP
Aayog, with Chief Ministers, Experts, Economists &

general public through MyGov.

We are on a journey to achieve an India that not only
fulfills the aspirations of the people, but also stands
s
proudly on the world stage. The people of India have
great expectations for progress and improvement in
re
governance, through their participation. In the course of
this transformation, while some changes are anticipated
tu
and planned, many are a consequence of market forces
and larger global shifts. The evolution and maturing of
our institutions and polity also entail diminished role of
lec
centralised planning, which itself needs to be redefined.
Our demographic dividend has to be leveraged fruitfully

over the next few decades. The potential of our youth
has to be realized through education, skill development,
SC
elimination of gender bias, and employment. We have to

strive to provide our youth productive opportunities to
work on the frontiers of science, technology and
knowledge economy.
UP
The role of the government in achieving ‘national

objectives’ may change with time, but it will always
remain significant. Government will continue to set
policies that anticipate and reflect the country’s

requirements and execute them in a just manner for the
benefit of the citizens. The continuing integration with the
s
world politically and economically has to be incorporated
into policy making as well as functioning of the
re
government.
tu
In essence, effective governance in India will rest on
following ‘pillars’:
– Pro-people agenda that fulfils the aspirations of the
lec
society as well as individual, 
– Pro-active in anticipating and responding to their
needs, 
– Participative, by involvement of citizenry, 
– Inclusion of all groups, 
SC
– Equality of opportunity to our country’s youth, 

– Sustainable development, byt.me/upscyoutubeclasses
protecting environment,
and 
– Transparency that uses technology to make
UP
government visible and responsive.
Improvement of governance is a pre-requisite for

improving the quality of life of the people. At the same

time, it can only be achieved by a creative, synergistic
and constantly evolving partnership between
s
stakeholders across the public, private sectors as well as
civil society. Delivery of services has to improve through
re
people’s participation at all levels.
The institutional framework of government has changed
tu
over the years. What is needed today is development of
domain expertise which allows us the chance to increase
the specificity of functions given to institutions. Specific to
lec
the planning process, there is a need to separate as well
as energize the distinct ‘process’ of governance from
‘strategy’ of governance.
In the context of governance structures, the changed

SC
requirements of our country, point to the need for setting

up an institution that serves as a Think Tank of the
government – a directional and policy dynamo. NITI
Aayog aims to do exactly serve this purpose. It will
UP
provide governments at the central and state levels with

relevant strategic and technical advice across the
spectrum of key elements of policy. This includes matters
of national and international import on the economic

front, dissemination of best practices from within the
country as well as from other nations, the infusion of new
s
policy ideas and specific inputs based on various issues.
re
An important evolutionary change from the past will be
replacing a Union-to-State one-way flow of policy by a
tu
genuine and continuing partnership with the states. NITI
Aayog will act with speed, to provide the strategic policy
vision for the government as well as deal with contingent
lec
issues.
While incorporating positive influences from the world, no
single model can be transplanted into the Indian
scenario. We need to find our own strategy for growth &
this is where NITI Aayog will play a major role.

NITI AAYOG VS. PLANNING COMMISSION
s
The NITI Aayog, established in 2015, is one of Indian
democracy’s youngest institutions. It has been entrusted
re
with the mandate of re-imagining the development
agenda by dismantling old-style central planning. As the
tu
Indian economy rapidly integrated with the global
economy contradictions arose between central planning
and increasing private capital flows. The NITI Aayog was
lec
mandated to foster cooperative federalism, evolve a
national consensus on developmental goals, redefine the
reforms agenda, act as a platform for resolution of cross-
sectoral issues between Center and State Governments,
capacity building and to act as a Knowledge and
SC
Innovation hub. It represented a huge mandate for a

nascent organization. t.me/upscyoutubeclasses
The NITI Aayog’s precursor, the Planning Commission

UP
was established in March 1950 by a Government of India

resolution with Prime Minister as Chairperson. The initial
mandate was to establish heavy industries through public
investment as a means for achieving rapid

industrialization. The functions assigned to the Planning
Commission were to assess and allocate plan resources,
s
formulate plans and programs for area development,
determine implementation methodology, identify resource
re
constraints and appraise & adjust implementation.
tu
The Planning Commission from 1950 to 2014 formulated
twelve five year plans. The 1st and 2nd plans aimed at
raising public resources for investments in public sector,
lec
the 3rd plan focused on increased emphasis on exports
and the 4th Plan formulated at a difficult period of balance
of payments crisis focused on agricultural development.
The 5th Plan provided enhanced allocations for social
sector spending. The 6 th and 7 th Plans were
SC
infrastructure plans focusing on raising plan resources

for infrastructure spending. The 8th Plan formulated in the
midst of economic reforms achieved 6.7 percent growth.

The 9th Plan period witnessed a sharp decline in
UP
economic growth to 2.4 percent. The 10th and 11th Plans

implemented in the 2004-2014 period witnessed
economic growth trajectory of above 9 percent.

An internal evaluation in Government revealed that
Planning Commission was witnessing policy fatigue
s
necessitating structural changes in central planning
process. The assessment identified that the collapse of
re
public investment in the face of rising subsidies, huge
demands on public resources from the Right to
tu
Education Act, the National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act and a poorly targeted Public Distribution
System. Further rigid labor laws were impeding progress,
lec
and there were difficulties in releasing land for public
housing and other public projects. A new Institutional
framework was needed.
As the Prime Minister announced the closure of the

SC
Planning Commission from the ramparts of Red Fort on

August 15, 2014, a renowned economic journal said that
not many will shed tears for the demise of the Planning
Commission. The planning exercise that was followed
UP
hardly had any relevance for the market economy. It did

very little to plan and implement public sector
investments and its role in public–private partnerships
was restrictive. The proliferation of Centrally Sponsored

Schemes contributed to severe distortions in public
spending.
s
The NITI Aayog has done enormous amount of work in a
re
short period of 3 years. It started designing strategic
policies, fostering cooperative federalism, provided
tu
knowledge and innovation support and undertook
evaluation/ monitoring of major investments. The NITI
Aayog formulated the Make in India Strategy for
lec
Electronics Industry, a Model Land Leasing Law, laid
down a National Energy Policy, prepared a Roadmap for
Revitalizing Agriculture, designed a Developmental
Strategy for North East and Hilly areas and undertook an
appraisal of the 12th Five Year Plan. Further the NITI
SC
Aayog recommended closure of sick PSUs, strategic

disinvestment of other CPSUs and pushed for reforms in
Medical Council of India and the University Grants
Commission. The two standout initiatives of the NITI
UP
Aayog were the model law on land leasing and the

framework of priorities for disinvestment.

An over-arching theme of the NITI Aayog was the
change in focus from central planning to cooperative
s
federalism. The Prime Minister said that “Through the
NITI Aayog, India will move away from the one size fits
re
all approach and forge a better match between schemes
and needs of States”. The Governing Council of NITI
tu
Aayog met very often, 3 sub-groups of Chief Ministers
were worked on centrally sponsored schemes (CSS),
skill development and Swach Bharat. Based on their
lec
recommendations, the new CSS sharing system was
notified and a transparent formula based allocation of
resources was reached. The Swach Bharat cess was
levied on all services. To promote skill development
initiatives, the involvement of States in the Pradhan
SC
Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana was ensured. The Atal

Innovation Mission was launched to seed innovations to

The NITI Aayog made serious efforts for Transforming

India’s developmental agenda. It sought proposals from
all Central Ministries for Accelerated Growth and
Inclusion Strategy, Employment Generation, Energy

Conservation and Efficiency, Good Governance and
Swach Bharat. In April 2017, the NITI Aayog Governing
s
Council approved the 3 Year Action Plan agenda aimed
at shifting the composition of expenditure by allocating a
re
larger proportion of additional resources to high priority
sectors, namely education, health, agriculture, rural
tu
development, defence, railways and roads. An
agricultural transformation was envisaged with the
objective of doubling farmer’s income by 2022. This was
lec
to be achieved through a model land leasing law, reform
of agriculture produce marketing committees, a legal
framework for contract farming and policies to overcome
distortions caused by the MSP scheme. Further the NITI
Aayog, monitored the implementation of the Sustainable
SC
Developmental Goals.
To conclude it can be said that the NITI Aayog has

undertaken path breaking work in its first 3 years and the
UP
Nation can look forward to the Institution imparting a new

dynamism to India’s developmental process in the
coming years.
