Srimati Dev Verma (Moonmoon Sen) asks a question on economic growth
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Thank you Madam,
I would like to ask through you, it takes more than 6 days to export and more than 13 days to import any commodity, therefore India’s high logistics cost is hurting the economy of the country. There is an involvement of multiple departments and agencies which is limiting the efficacy of the economy.
Therefore on account of these facts as also stated by Bibek Debroy (Chairman of Economic Advisory Council) I want to raise few questions:
a) Whether the government has taken any steps to converge multi-departmental action into an integrated logistics policy;
b) Whether the government has taken any steps to facilitate paperless environment across the logistics value chain as the present government boosts a lot about “Digital India” but has not been able to replicate in this sector which is hurting the economy.
