Honourable Members
6. My government is committed to nurturing the right environment for
actualizing this mandate of the people. For this, it pledges itself to
the principle of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’; which can be fulfilled only
through your active participation. We will work together to
re-establish the credibility of the institutions of democracy. My
government will function on the mantra of ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance’. In all our actions, we will be guided by the core values of our great civilization.
Honourable Members
12. India is the world’s oldest civilization. Today it is also a country
with the largest population of the youth. We must equip and nurture our
youth with the right kind of education, skill-set and opportunity to
reap this demographic dividend. My government will strive to transition
from Youth Development to Youth-led Development. It will set up Massive
Open Online Courses and virtual classrooms.
It will formulate a National Education Policy aimed at meeting the
challenges posed by lack of quality, research and innovation in our
educational institutions. We will set up IITs and IIMs in every state.
In order to empower school teachers and students, a national e-library will be established. With the motto of “Har Haath Ko Hunar”,
my government will strive to break the barriers between formal
education and skill development, and put in place a mechanism to give
academic equivalence to vocational qualifications. With the goal of
Skilled India, my government will also launch a National Multi-skill
Mission.
Honourable Members
21. My government is committed to providing a clean and efficient
administration focussed on delivery. The institution of Lok Pal is
important to curb corruption and my government will endeavour to
formulate rules in conformity with the Act. My government will take
steps to build the confidence and morale of our bureaucracy; enabling it
with the freedom to work, and welcoming innovative ideas. The
government will stress on putting in place transparent systems and
timebound delivery of government services. Government systems and
processes will be revisited to make them citizen friendly, corruption
free and accountable. Efforts will be made to eliminate obsolete laws,
regulations, administrative structures and practices. Rationalization
and convergence among Ministries, Departments and other arms of the
government will be ensured to have focussed delivery. Digitization of
government records will be done for improving accessibility.
22. E-governance brings empowerment, equity and efficiency. It has the
power to transform peoples’ lives. The backbone of my government’s new
ways of working will be a Digital India. IT will be used to drive
re-engineering of government processes to improve service delivery and
programme implementation. We will strive to provide Wi-Fi zones in
critical public areas in the next five years. My government will rollout
broad band highway to reach every village and make all schools e-enabled in a phased manner. Technology
will be used to prepare our children for a knowledge society. The
National e-governance plan will be expanded to cover every government
office from the centre to the Panchayat; to provide a wide variety of
services to citizens. Emerging technologies like Social Media will be used as a tool for; participative governance, directly engaging the people in policy making and administration.
23. My government is determined to rid the country of the scourge of
corruption and the menace of black money. As a first step in this
direction, the government has already constituted a SIT to unearth black
money stashed abroad. This will be followed up vigorously by
proactively engaging with foreign governments.
24. Keeping in mind that justice delayed is justice denied, my
government will adopt a multi-pronged approach to address the problem of
high pendency of cases in our judicial system. It will progressively
modernize the courts to improve their operational efficiency, and start
reform of the criminal justice system to make dispensation of justice
simpler, quicker and more effective. It will initiate a mission mode
project for filling vacancies in the judiciary and for doubling the
number of courts and judges in the subordinate judiciary in a phased
manner. The government will give special emphasis to the development of Alternate Dispute Resolution mechanisms.
Honourable Members
27. For rapid creation of jobs in the manufacturing sector, the
government will strategically promote labour-intensive manufacturing.
Employment opportunities will also be expanded by promoting tourism and
agro-based industries. My government will transform Employment Exchanges
into Career Centres - connecting our youth with job opportunities in a
transparent and effective manner through the use of technology as well
as through counselling and training.
The government will strengthen the pension and health insurance safety
nets for labour force of all categories and would provide them access to
modern financial services.
28. We need to transform ourselves into a globally competitive manufacturing hub powered by Skill, Scale and Speed. To
this end, the government will set up world class investment and
industrial regions, particularly along the Dedicated Freight Corridors
and Industrial Corridors spanning the country. My Government will
encourage the domestic industry to innovate and collaborate
internationally. It will strive to move towards a single-window system
of clearances both at the Centre and at the States through a hub-spoke
model.
Honourable Members
40. My Government will carry out reforms in defence procurement to
increase efficiency and economy. It will encourage domestic industry,
including the private sector; to have a larger share in design and
production of defence equipment. We will introduce policies to
strengthen technology transfer, including through liberalised FDI in
defence production. With readily available skilled human resource,
India can emerge as a global platform for defence manufacturing
including software, which will strengthen our defence and spur
industrial development as well as exports.
41. The country is proud of its Armed Forces.
They serve the nation with professionalism, dedication and valour;
securing our nation and supporting relief and rescue operations in the
wake of disasters and calamities. We will strengthen defence
preparedness by modernising our Armed Forces
and addressing the shortage of manpower on priority. Recognising the
importance of coastal security, my government will set up a National
Maritime Authority.
42. My government will do everything to repay the debt of our brave and selfless soldiers. It will appoint a Veterans
Commission to address their grievances, so that they know that we don’t
stop caring for them when they retire from active service. The
government will build a National War Memorial to honour the gallantry of
our soldiers. One Rank, One Pension scheme will be implemented.
Jai Hind
