favourable destination to global investors, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
on Thursday said that India has now has predictable tax and FDI
regimes.
Addressing the World Economic Forum's Davos Dialogue, he
said that the government is also working on the front of ease of doing
business.
He was of the view that though hit by the pandemic,
things will change in the economic front too and "India is now moving
ahead with the aim to become 'Atmanirbhar' (self-reliant)".
Reiterating
the government's stand, Modi also said that the vision of 'Atmanirbhar
Bharat' is aimed at making India a major hub of global supply chain.
He
said that India's success on the economic and industrial front will
support global good and enhance the global supply chain. He also assured
the global fraternity that India has the capacity and capability to
boost the global supply chain.

up by the government, the Prime Minister, however gave a miss to the
recent farm laws, termed as major reforms by the government. The recent
laws and amendments in the farm sector bills have been highly
controversial and led to massive protests by farmers in the national
capital.

4.0' would be a major support for the government's vision of making the
country self-reliant. He was of the view that connectivity, automation,
artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and real time data are
key for 'Industry 4.0'.

healthcare workers have been vaccinated and in total 30 million
healthcare workers will be covered under the first phase.
