“Policies need to have continuity and consistency so that they’re predictable for businesses. It’s not a challenge to keep international investors interested in the market”


Speaking at the event, Nitin Gadkari said, “Politics alone isn’t enough to bring about socioeconomic transformation. Entrepreneurship is the key.”
On the subject of roll out of e-Governance systems, Nitin Gadkari said, “Technology providers should focus on creating the best technologies. They should also propose nationwide rollouts. We can work with our own governments as well as where we’re in opposition, to manage the consensus for such implementations”.
On the subject of social media, Shri Nitin Gadkari had this to say, “We do wish to allow freedom of speech, but that should not be misused to destroy  someone’s life. We need to propose an integrated policy solution, which takes  care of concerns at both ends, instead of pushing for complete freedom without  any restrictions.”
