  • Annual Report 2017 - 18
    Annual Report 2017 - 18 India@75: Inclusive. Ahead. Responsible Annual Report 2017 - 18 India@75: Inclusive. Ahead. Responsible 2 The CII theme for the year ‘India@75: Inclusive. Ahead. Responsible’ received high attention through the year. Employment, education and healthcare emerged as key pillars for the inclusive growth agenda. In particular, women parity was an issue we actioned strongly. CII opened its fourth Model Career Center, held many job fairs to bring new opportunities for youth and expanded engagement in skills and training. I am happy that CII reaches out to a million youth every year through its various educational and training activities. A competitive Indian industry requires a facilitative investment climate. We celebrated India’s jump in the World Bank ‘Doing Business’ rankings by as many as 30 places in a single year. CII worked closely with Central and State Governments through the year on ease of MS SHOBANA KAMINENI doing business. The reduction in corporate tax rate to President, CII 25% for enterprises with turnover below INR 250 crore was a great step in line with our submissions. Taking India Ahead means adapting to the new technology changes that are gathering momentum. CII has built a strong focus on Start-ups and entrepreneurship, aiming to partner with young people through the Startupreneurs Forum and other initiatives. This year, we also set up the Society of Indian Defence President’s Manufacturers to converge policy and action on this Review sunrise sector. We had the chance to work with the Government on some of its major initiatives. Textiles India and World Looking Back Food India had the participation of Prime Minister.
