  1. BLUE-PRINT FOR START-UP NATION ?

    On 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 !
