'Reform Express' benefiting workers, employees and businesses: PM Modi
"Today the country has set out on the Reform Express. Its objective is to make both life and business easy in the country. - PM Modi"

New Delhi, Jan 24

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the country is moving ahead on a fast-paced 'Reform Express', which is bringing widespread benefits to workers, employees, entrepreneurs and businesses, while making life and business easier across India.

Addressing the 18th edition of the Rozgar Mela virtually, the Prime Minister said the objective of the ongoing reforms is to improve ease of living and ease of doing business.

He noted that next-generation reforms, especially under the Goods and Services Tax (GST), have helped young entrepreneurs and strengthened micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

"Today the country has set out on the Reform Express. Its objective is to make both life and business easy in the country," PM Modi stated.

"Everyone has benefited from the next-generation reforms in GST. Through this, our young entrepreneurs are benefiting, and our MSMEs are benefiting," Prime Minister stated.

Modi said India has recently implemented historic labour reforms, which are designed to benefit labourers, employees and businesses alike.

He added that the new labour codes have expanded the scope of social security, offering stronger protection and support to workers and employees.

"Recently, the country has implemented historic labour reforms. Through this, labourers, employees, and businesses will all benefit. The new labour codes have further strengthened the scope of social security for labourers and employees," PM Modi mentioned.

Referring to the widespread discussion around the Reform Express, the Prime Minister urged government officials to play an active role in carrying reforms forward at their own level.

PM Modi said such experiences should guide officials to ensure that citizens do not face similar problems during their tenure.

The Prime Minister stressed that small, practical reforms at the local level can have a large impact and help ensure that the maximum number of people benefit from government initiatives.

"Being a part of the government, you too will have to carry out small reforms at your level. You have to move forward with this approach so that the maximum number of people are benefited," PM Modi mentioned.

Hoping these labour reforms translate to real benefits on the ground. Stronger social security is desperately needed for our gig workers and contract employees. The intent is good, but implementation will be the real test.

Making business easier is one thing, but what about the ease of living for the common man? Petrol prices are still through the roof, and inflation bites every month. Reforms should also address these daily struggles.

As an expat working here, I've seen the business environment improve. The digital push and single-window systems are impressive. If local officials embrace this reform mindset, it could be a game-changer for India's global competitiveness.

The Rozgar Mela is a great initiative. Connecting skilled youth with opportunities is crucial. Hope the 'Reform Express' delivers more jobs in manufacturing and tech sectors. Jai Hind!

While I appreciate the vision, I have a respectful criticism. The GST, though simplified, still has multiple tax slabs which create confusion for small vendors like my mother who runs a handicraft business. A truly next-gen reform would be a single, moderate slab.

The emphasis on local-level reforms is smart. Big policies often fail at the last mile
