He was at Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) on Friday to inaugurate New India Assurance Company Ltd’s first insurance office at the GIFT IFSC (International Financial Services Centre).
On the World Bank’s latest ease of doing business rankings, wherein India has been ranked 130th, Meghwal defended the central government’s efforts and claimed that the sampling done by the ranking agencies was not sufficient for a vast country like India.
“We have taken so many initiatives for ease of doing business, such as Digital India, Make in India, Skill India, Stand-Up India and so on. But, we feel that those engaged in giving ranking have not taken into account our efforts as well as investment in totality,” said Meghwal.
“They might have found some lapses and thought that it is not working in entire country, which is not the case. They may not have taken into account the vast variety of this country. Ranking agencies should have collected samples from the entire country to get a real picture instead of collecting samples from selected places,” Meghwal added.
