Minutes of ICC Executive Committee Meeting 14th August, 2020, Kolkata
Mr. Mayank Jalan, President, ICC welcomed the Executive Committee Members to the ICC Executive Committee Meeting, held on 14th August, 2020. President, ICC then updated the committee members that over the last 4 months there have been more than 100 significant webinars with prominent Ministers and Secretaries of the Government of India and various State Governments as well as key industry personnel that has led to close coordination between the chamber, Government and industry. He mentioned that the most significant of them all have been the 95th Annual Plenary Session of ICC in June 2020, addressed by PM Shri Narendra Modi which was also broadcasted on television allowing millions of people to watch. Shri Narendra Modi congratulated the chamber for its 95 years of service and for its contribution to India’s growth trajectory. Mr. Jalan also highlighted the webinars with the Finance Minister, MSME Minister and Commerce & Industry Minister during the last 4 months and informed of the panel about the upcoming webinar with the Dr. Rajiv Kumar, Vice Chairman, Niti Ayog on 20th August, 2020.
He stated that an urgency has been felt for the Government to bring about changes. Hence, he urged the members to come up with suggestions for their respective sectors that could be submitted to the Government for taking action on them.
President informed the panel that ICC has achieved a landmark with more than 500 new member enrolment over the past year with 260 new members in lockdown only and several new membership requests have come in that are being processed.
Speaking on the current healthcare scenario with respect to COVID 19, Ms Rupali Basu stated that the Private and the Government sectors are working hand in hand to fight the pandemic situation. She informed that standardised care has been the focus. The current death rate is 2.8% and the healthcare sector in the country is trying to bring it down to 1.5% and only a very small fraction of the affected are going for critical care, she added.
Speaking on the same lines, Mr. Rupak Barua mentioned that the recovery rate has been increasing and over the time, death rate will decrease. He mentioned that coming out with a vaccine in 6-8 months is difficult and that a potent coronavirus vaccine that will be able to prevent all the mutated variants may take a much longer time to come out in the market.

On the steel sector, Mr. Vishambhar Saran said that bad shape of the real estate sector and poor demand in the automobile sector has weighed on the demand of steel. As a result, low domestic prices have been wiping away healthy profits. To recover loss, companies are now keener on exporting, Mr. Saran informed.
Mr. Rudra Chatterjee spoke on the Home furnishing sector that has drastically changed over the past few months. He said that while online presence has been faring well with customers inclined toward buying office or outdoor furniture, many offline home furnishing businesses have gone bankrupt.
With respect to the tea sector, Mr. C. K. Dhanuka informed that lockdown and lack of labour has led to low plucking thereby resulting in huge crop losses. As a result, tea prices have gone up and tea packeteers have sought duty free imports which he felt can be detrimental for the industry going ahead. Mr. Dhanuka strongly sought Government support for the tea industry.
Mr. JP Chowdhary stated that the macrolevel financial position is very shaky and that the more effective stimulus is needed. He felt that new methods must be introduced in the form of quantitative easing. However, the silver lining is that demand is slowly recovering, although the long-term sustainability of the same was questioned by him.
Mr. Chittaranjan Dhar informed that staples have witnessed growth due to lockdown as people are stuck mostly in their homes. Particularly easy to consume items have gone up substantially as dining out has stopped. However, products that have suffered sales in the lockdown include soaps, perfumes, clothes, skin care products, makeup etc. No new capacity building is taking place; hence the need of the hour is to conserve cash, said Mr. Dhar.
The Committee meeting was also attended by Economist Dr. A. Virmani, who spoke on the economics of the pandemic. He said that “this is a crisis and it should not be expected that immediately after we come out of this crisis, the economy will boom”. He mentioned that there has been huge logistics and hence supply chain disruption during the lockdown and CPI has increased 6% in May-June. Disrupted supply chain has resulted in pockets of excess demand and excess supply. He felt that during lockdown, traditional fiscal policy is not worthy; instead starvation and bankruptcy are the main issues that need attention. Although the credit guarantee scheme was praised by him, he felt that sectors that were already suffering in the pre COVID period, required more specific changes. Dr. Virmani said that we are currently at a 72-75% of recovery to normal levels. However, it is estimated that pre COVID normalcy levels can only be reached by Q4, 2021 at the earliest. Few critical things pointed out by Dr. Virmani as the need of the hour include- fiscal policy normalization, economic reforms, further GST simplification, direct tax code and labour reforms.
Mr. Vikash Agarwal, Senior Vice President, ICC offered the formal Vote of Thanks to all the members present for attending the Committee meeting and the Executive Committee meet concluded successfully. **************

The book traces the Silk route's historical linkages with India and its neighbors and captures the essence of the Shaolin Temple, which is
President‟s Report Page 13 of 70 associated with Bodhi Dharma. It also narrates history behind the "Four Holy Buddhist Mountains" in China, which consists of at least one of the four principal Bodhisattvas of Mahayana Buddhism thought to be residing at each one. The book takes us through a journey from monasteries and caves in China to the museums of Taiwan and the sculptures of Buddha in Korea, Mongolia, and Japan.

E-Conference on Promoting New FPOs and Raising Farmers Income in Bihar Jharkhand th 24 August 2020, Kolkata
The Agriculture sector has achieved significant momentum in the past decade. Mobilizing farmers into their collectives, as Farmer Producer Organisations, has emerged as the most preferred institutional mechanism for farmer prosperity by policy makers and development agencies. From modest beginnings, the FPO numbers have acquired impressive strength in many States. These initiatives have served as an example for FPO transition to become sustainable and achieve scale in the long-run.
President‟s Report Page 14 of 70 Despite this, many FPOs face several challenges ranging from management of business, irregular supply and lack of timely financial assistance. The ability to influence the agri-value chain in a significant manner remains far-fetched for the majority of FPOs. Therefore, a holistic approach to address the majority of challenges faced by FPOs is the need of the hour. With continuous awareness drives and initiatives, synergies between various efforts on supporting FPOs can be integrated. This can help bridge the knowledge gap among state bodies, think tanks, promoting organizations and FPOs.
The event was addressed by Dr. N Saravana, Secretary, Department of Agriculture, Government of Bihar, Mr. Pradeep Kumar Hazari, Special Secretary, Department of Agriculture, Government of Jharkhand, Dr. Ashok Dalwai, IAS, CEO, NRAA, Chairman Committee on Doubling of Farmer‟s Income, Department of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers Welfare, Government of India and prominent speakers from Jugal Bandi FPO, Ice Make Refrigerations, ST Genetics, De-Haat who also sponsored the event.

The purpose of this webinar was to collectivize farmers, especially small farmer producers of Bihar & Jharkhand to foster technology penetration, improve productivity, enable improved access to inputs and services, financial credit and increase farmer incomes, thereby strengthening their sustainable agriculture based livelihoods. As such the seminar will emphasized on the following themes:
Formation & mobilization of new FPOs in Bihar & Jharkhand. Role of Implementing Agencies/ Institutions in FPO Formation- SFAC, NCDC, NABARD, CBBOs.

Education in Emerging India : Perspective & Way Forward 31st August 2020
The event is about :
Schools – both Primary and Secondary are the institutions that play the crucial role of bringing infants to the cusp of adulthood. It is in schools that we develop and form our core skills, knowledge and principles. It is thus essential that we have an ongoing discussion amongst all stakeholders on what we can do to ensure that the we can effectively prepare students to be both intellectually curious, and socially responsible adults.
Over the decades, there has been considerable evolution and change in the parameters that govern our educational institutions and systems: run. Three areas of particular interest are:
1. Curriculum: Which subjects are taught, what is the appropriate breadth and depth of knowledge imparted. How does this evolve as the frontiers of human knowledge are broadened. 2. Learning & Teaching Methodology: How is the material transmitted to the students; How do we measure outcomes and calibrate the delivery technique accordingly; How do we ensure that technology does not confer undue and overwhelming advantage to one section of society.
President‟s Report Page 30 of 70 3. Value System and Discipline: Schools also have a vital role in preparing children to be responsible members of society. Classrooms are where values and many social norms are re-enforced. How do we decide the best way to conduct classrooms and impart the corresponding socialization skills.
In a diverse country like India, we need to find solutions that can address a national objective while addressing the regional perspectives. In this backdrop, Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) together with Alumnorum Societas (Old Boys Association of St. Xavier‟s Collegiate School, Kolkata) are hosting a thought provoking Interactive Session entitled “Education in Emerging India”

President‟s Report Page 31 of 70
The New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which was approved by the Union Cabinet of India on 29 July 2020, is built on India's new education system's vision. According to Mr. Anil Swarup, Former Union Secretary of School Education & Literacy, the Policy does a good job where it allows open opportunities for children to hone their talents by fixing the lacunae in the education system. He also mentioned that the inclusion of vocational training, the introduction of 4 years integrated B.Ed course, and the option of selecting subjects without thinking about the hierarchy of science, commerce, and arts have undoubtedly made the policy more significant.
Mrs. Devi Kar, Director, Modern High School for Girls, has expressed that India has undone through various stages of emergence. From dependent, it emerged as an independent nation, and from underdeveloped, it has emerged to a developing country; currently, it focuses on being one of the world Superpowers. Ms. Kaveri Dutt, Province Co-ordinator, Loreto Education Board, explained the education sector is trying to broaden students' possibilities ahead in their careers and the New Education Policy is far sighted in this regard. Ms. Sharmila Bose, Principal, Sushila Birla Girls' School, Kolkata, stated that the NEP focuses on how a child should learn to "learn." She also pointed out that if the contents of the books are contracted, then classroom focus shifts to students' character-building and learning the crafts of the 21st century. Ms. Pratima Nayar, Principal (Junior Section), Calcutta International School, explained that school is a micro-organism of society, so emphasis should be given on how schools help in making a child socialized outside the cocoon of the family. Lastly, the web session concluded on the concept that the whole pedagogy of teacher-centric education has to be changed to student-centric education to adjust to the demands of the 21st century world.

President‟s Report Page 61 of 70
Understanding Export Controls regulation will help Indian MSME and Start-ups and also mentioned Export Controls regime can improve the ease of doing business in terms of trading across borders and boost India‟s economic integration with the world economy. India is playing an important role in the global programme of non-proliferation. Export control system is required because dual-use technologies and sensitive items do not reach the wrong hands, particularly the non-state actors.
Currently SCOMET (Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies) list contains dual-use goods and technologies within 8 categories, in line with India‟s non-proliferation commitments.
India has been harmonising the country‟s export control list in line with the changes in their guidelines.
Government-industry partnership is essential for implementing a strong and robust export control regime.
India had joined three key international export regimes, namely the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Australia Group and the Hague Code of Conduct. New and emerging technologies, with their potential for dual-use, pose a huge challenge to export control regime of the country. India‟s export control system is the reflection of efficacy in the interest of national security and meeting international obligations.
As a responsible member of the international community, India is committed to non-proliferation of sensitive and dual-use materials and technology including ammunitions, where the country has an impeccable record.
India has never been a source for proliferation. For manufacturing certain items which are on a special list, called SCOMET, companies engaged in their manufacture are required to obtain a license from certain government agencies to help ascertain and verify the end user.
