Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday promised to change laws and style of government functioning to create jobs and bring the derailed economy back on track.

"In the last three months the government machinery has geared up, and is now ready to change... If we have to change laws, we are ready. If we have to change rules, we are ready. If we have to change system, we are ready," he said after the day-long workshop on the campaign.

He stressed on collective decision-making in government functioning.

"Government is generally trapped in 'ABCD' culture from top to bottom.... A means Avoid, B-Bypass, C-Confuse, D-Delay. Our efforts is to move from this culture to 'ROAD' where R stands for Responsibility, O-Ownership, A-Accountability, D-Discipline. We are committed to moving towards this roadmap," he said.

The Prime Minister said that India will have to have a hash-tag of zero defect and zero effect on environment.

"We must look at how to develop Brand India globally... Unless it is there we will not be able to make a name for ourselves in the global market," he said.

Calling for a balanced development in the country, Modi said there should be maximum movement of man, material, money, machine and mineral across the country.

"During the day-long effort, responsibilities have been fixed, roadmap has been prepared, required changes in policies have been decided... Now I don't think there is any requirement for paperwork. Now, things will be implemented automatically," Modi said.

The prime minister said his government was adding a new paradigm to the public private partnership (PPP) model by involving all stakeholders in key decision-making processes.

"This workshop was an example of openness, and working together to achieve desired goals. The decisions taken at this workshop would have taken years in normal course," he said," Modi said at the concluding session.

The Prime Minister was given presentations on 'Ease of Doing Business', and initiatives in over two dozen sectors including gems and jewellery, automobiles, oil and gas, power, and chemicals.
