ASSOCHAM shares I-Day resolve to make India a developed nation

Sharing the optimism of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in his Independence Day address, ASSOCHAM today said India Inc would be an active partner in the    national resolve to make India a developed nation by 2047 when we could celebrate 100 years of Independence Day.

“The Prime Minister has a great ability to connect with the people of the country. His address from the ramparts of Red Fort would reinforce enthusiasm of 140 crore Indians to work together and realise the national objectives of achieving excellence with the help of technology and innovation in agriculture, manufacturing, health services and education to make our country Atmanirbharta across different sectors of the economy”, said ASSOCHAM Secretary General Mr. Deepak Sood.

In his congratulatory message, the chamber secretary general said, ‘’ it is reassuring to see the Prime Minister conveying his resolve to make lives easier for the people of India. Stress on minimum government interference, reforms in governance would help the nation leverage the innate strength of our people, particularly the youth who form the majority of the human resource’’.

Citizens’ aspirations to live a better life and participate in national progress forms the core of the PM’s address to the nation.

The I-Day address has emphasized upon scaling up India’s health services. Introduction of 75,000 new medical seats, as announced by Shri Narendra Modi, reflects the government’s commitment towards making ‘Swasth Bharat’ along with ‘Viksit Bharat’, the chamber said .

ASSOCHAM secretary general Mr. Deepak Sood said the initiative to rope in states to establish clear policies to attract investments would be a double-down approach for scaling up investment-led growth.

Reiteration of India's goal for a sustainable economic growth provides an impetus to the goal of 500 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

Importance of green jobs in India's efforts to combat climate change is also a directional change that would make environment protection a national priority.
