Goyal says 65 million MSMEs are fast embracing digitisation
India, as it assumes presidency of the G20, will leverage global partnerships for collective solutions to global issues, Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal told an international conference.
Addressing the Inaugural Session of the CII Partnership Summit 2021 on the theme “Partnering for Building a New World: Growth, Competitiveness, Sustainability, Technology” on 13 Dec 2021, Goyal called for partnerships among countries for achieving Sustainable Growth.
Goyal said, “All of us Ministers are working for the welfare of the poor. We have been running the world’s largest food distribution programme serving more than 800 million beneficiaries for 19 months besides the world’s largest health insurance programme reaching out to the poorest of the poor.”
“Today India’s businesses are moving towards adoption of technologies like 5G, AI, IoT (Internet of Things) to achieve manufacturing excellence. India’s 65 million MSMEs are fast embracing digitisation to make India a trillion-dollar digital economy.”
Calling for a just and equitable world trade order, Goyal said through video conference, “India will reach its non-fossil energy capacity of 500 GW by 2030 and meet 50% of its energy requirements from RE. We hope to attain Net Zero (Carbon Footprint) by 2070 in the fastest possible time.” fiinews.com
