BLUE-PRINT FOR START-UP NATION ?
ReplyDeleteOn 27 Dec 2015 , in his " Man Ki Baat " address , with reference to planned launch of " Start Up India , Stand Up India " on 16 Jan , Shri Narendra Modi said :
# DEFINITION OF A START UP
" If a youth conceives a new idea that can give employment to poor, that can be called a Start Up .
# ACTION NEEDED
The banks should help these youth and encourage them
# INNOVATION CULTURE
Be it manufacturing , service sector or agriculture, this new initiative will bring in new ideas, new ways , and new innovations
# SCOPE
The scheme should reach out to the last person in the country
# REACH
They are made for the poorest of the poor "
No doubt , a great initiative
# QUESTION
When finally announced on 16 Jan,will this initiative be BOLD enough to make a difference ?
# ANSWER
It can be, if the concerned Minister will incorporate following suggestions sent , through
www.hemenparekh.in > Blogs
* A New Economic Order / Start Up Act - 2015 ( 12 Sept 2015 )
* Create Wealth to Create Jobs ( 26 Feb 2014 )
* Get Out of the Way ( 02 Dec 2015 )
But , if the concerned Minister stays paralyzed by " Fear of Failure " , or " Fear of Finance Ministry " , then expect a damp squib !
