The government has decided to constitute a task force for next generation reforms, the prime mister announced on Friday. The tasks force will re-draft current rules, laws, policies, and procedures “to suit the 21st century, to fit the global environment, and to align with the vision of making India a developed nation by 2047.

The committee will provide freedom from fear of arbitrary legal actions, ensure streamlining of laws for ease of doing business.  The announcements assumes significance in the wake of current geopolitical scenario and high tariffs imposed on Indian goods by the US. The Modi-led government has brought in a series economic reforms, including introduction of GST, further liberalisation of FDI, and abolishing large number of archaic laws.

Modi said that the government has undertaken a historic wave of reforms, abolishing over 40,000 unnecessary compliances and repealing more than 1,500 outdated laws. Dozens of other laws were simplified in Parliament, always keeping citizens' interests at the forefront. The reforms are aimed at creating a supportive ecosystem for innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth. 

   “The reforms undertaken by our government signal a modern, citizen-centric government where ordinary people can experience ease, fairness, and empowerment.  India is committed to structural, regulatory, policy, process, and procedural reforms, building a nation where governance works for the people, not the other way around.

Instead of focusing on others’ limitations, India must extend its own line of progress. In a world of rising economic self-interest, the focus must be on strengthening India’s capabilities, expanding opportunities, and empowering citizens. These reforms mark the beginning of an accelerated phase of governance transformation, ensuring India is more resilient, inclusive, and globally competitive.
