Government will push for more reforms in all areas to make things easier, more simple: NITI Aayog CEO – Times of India

NEW DELHI: India needs more and more reforms, and the country will push for a massive scale of reforms in all areas, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant Said on Monday, noting that the money is created by the private sector and the government should act as a facilitator.
Addressing the CII Partnership Summit 2021, Kant said that India has evolved in periods when exports have grown significantly and this shows that India must be extremely competitive.
He said, “India is committed to pushing reforms. We don’t need less reforms, but we need more and more reforms. And the government will push for a massive scale of reforms in all areas, making things easy, Will make things simpler.”
Kant was responding to a question whether repeal of three controversial agricultural laws would change the government’s appetite for further significant reforms.
The CEO of NITI Aayog said, “The basic philosophy of this government is that wealth is created by the private sector, we have to make things easy for them and the government should act as facilitator and catalyst, and we do that. Continuing to pursue all reforms. Direction.”
The government has repealed three controversial agriculture laws against which farmers have been protesting along Delhi’s borders for over a year.
Three laws – the Farmer Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Price Assurance and Agricultural Services Act, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act – had paved the way for it. Contract farming enables farmers to sell produce outside Agricultural Produce Market Committees among others.
Kant said the focus of the government is to make India’s exports competitive.
Responding to a question on climate change, Kant said India’s strategy is that we should pursue the decarbonization strategy aggressively.
“India has shown the world that it is one of the cheapest producers of renewable energy,” he said, adding that the country should be the largest producer of renewable energy and exporter of green hydrogen.
