The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is working on a comprehensive white paper which is aimed at positioning Tamil Nadu as leader in socio-economic development. It also wants to help the State achieve its target of $1 trillion economy by 2030. To execute this plan, CII has initiated a project called – ‘Policy Action Dialogues’.
“This will happen in three stages. In the first stage, we will send out questionnaires to around 400 participants from 15 different sectors. Based on the feedback, CII will then have a round table with industry experts. And in stage three, the white paper will be rolled out with suggestions and areas of growth,” Shankar Vanavarayar, Chairman, CII Tamil Nadu State Council and Executive Director of ABT Industries Ltd., told The Hindu.
The questionnaire will look at 12 parameters which are business and growth aligned. Some of the parameters that would be looked at is ease of doing business, construction permits and land registration, taxation and statutory compliances, access to credit, diversity and inclusion among others. “The idea is to get feedback about the realities which are happening sector-wise and geographical-wise. We will also rope in other associations for this,” Mr. Vanavarayar said.
