Scripting
of New India by bringing disruptive changes is the firm belief of Government
I&B Minister addresses MindMine Summit
Minister
for Information & Broadcasting, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu has said that scripting
of New India by bringing disruptive changes in governance had resulted in
removing deficiencies, catalysing proficiencies and reaping efficiencies. The
transformational initiatives brought out by the Government aimed at initiating
change and altering the status quo thus positioning India as a Global Leader. The
Demonetisation initiative was one of the most disruptive changes that targeted
black money, counterfeit currency and corruption, which overhauled India’s
economic system removing tainted currency from circulation. The Minister stated
this while addressing the Mind Mine Summit here today. Shri Suresh Prabhu,
Minister for Railways was also present on the occasion.
Elaborating
further, Shri Naidu said that, it has become a New Normal for the Government to
bring path breaking changes to transform the country, latest being the ban on
the usage of Red Beacons. The process of reform in every sector was evident in
the current approach to Governance.
Listing out
the various initiatives taken by the Government that impacted people’s life,
Shri Naidu said that change was inevitable and any change that brought
incremental benefits to people would fail in transforming people’s life.
Behavioural change to encourage people use less cash and turn towards digital
payments would not only require change in mind set but also require the
institutional mechanism that will support this change. The BHIM app launched by
the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi provided latest features that is helping
people shift from using less cash towards digital payments. The use of technology has enabled providing
better governance to people. The JAM trinity which uses the Jan Dhan, Aadhar
and Mobile connection has revolutionised the transfer of subsidies to the
people by removing the middle men from the link.
Shri Naidu mentioned the historic
passage of GST bill in parliament which would transform the Indirect Tax
structure in the country by unifying the country into a single market and thus
simplifying the current complex and opaque tax administration. The Swachh
Bharat Abhiyaan has been hailed as the biggest Behavioural Change program
launched by the Government that aims to build a Clean India, dismantling age
old behaviours and social practices of the people.
