PrintFriendly- With changing times, we have to change our processes and systems
- Important to integrate the strengths of society with our systems
- Remember how Padma Awards were given earlier? We brought in a ‘small’ change- people can recommend names for awards, unlike the past
- The Padma Awards given this year include exemplary success stories, who have been working silently and tirelessly on the ground
- We believe every citizen has something or the other to contribute to the nation & we want to integrate these strengths with our growth
- Policy makers in Government are relatively senior…the group I am meeting today is young. I want both to work together for India’s good
- I have found senior officials in the Government seeing opportunities in the new ideas shared
- Along with good ideas, let us work towards the roadmap and institutional arrangements to fulfil the ideas
- It is unfortunate that corruption was institutionalised. The time has come to change this. The time for middlemen is over
- Middlemen are out of work in this Government and they are the ones who are most unhappy
- Innovation is life. When there is no innovation, there is stagnation
- We have big placements in leading business schools, the same way why can’t we have placements recruiting teachers with good pay packages
- We need to create an atmosphere where our youngsters want to be teachers and educate others
- An effective means to improve quality of education is technology
- Only Governments & Government initiatives will not make a New India. Change will be powered by each and every citizen of India
- As CEOs, you can sit with your teams and discuss with them- what can we do for the next five years, for a New India
- Every one of us is equally patriotic and wants India to scale new heights of progress. There is no difference in our love for the nation
