6 TOP STORIES INDIA-ISRAEL: STRONG ALLIANCE; Strategic Partnership No Indian leader in 3,000 years of our own sovereign existence and our history has visited Israel, said Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu citing PM Narendra Modi s visit to his nation in Marking the 25th anniversary of relations between India and Israel, the visiting PM kick-started his 6 day diplomatic tour to India on 14th January, Cementing the camaraderie between India and Israel, the government has rechristened the iconic Teen Murti Chowk in New Delhi as the Teen Murti-Haifa Chowk, paying a glowing tribute to the Israeli city of Haifa and the brave Indian soldiers who fought to liberate the city from the Ottoman empire during World War 1. During the joint statement, Netanyahu hailed PM Modi as a revolutionary leader and said he and the people of Israel are honoured and moved by the welcome celebration. PM Modi reminded the nation about the mutual promise between the Israel PM and him to build a strategic partnership of hope and trust and progress of diverse and cutting-edge cooperation, and of joint endeavours and shared successes. He further reiterated that the two nations will strengthen the existing pillars of cooperation in areas that touch the lives of people such as agriculture, science & technology, and security. India-Israel Business Summit You have brilliant people in India. We have brilliant people in Israel. What we can do, is shape the future together. I believe in India. We are your partners, and I came here to say today, Prime Minister Modi, thank you for believing in Israel the way we believe in India, the Israel PM said addressing the summit. PM Modi said that India has size and scale while Israel has sharpness and edge, and urged the delegates from over 100 Israeli companies to invest in India. He stressed on the potential of the India-Israel Innovation Bridge will act as a link between the Start-ups of the two sides, ably complemented by the Startup India mission. A call for joint Research and Development projects under the India-Israel Industrial R&D and Technological Innovation Fund (i4f) was launched to combine the talent pool of the two countries in pursuit of path-breaking technological solutions with commercial opportunities. It is noteworthy to mention that this is the largest business delegation that has ever accompanied an Israeli PM on an official visit. 6

8 Raisina Dialogue 2018 After his visit to Agra, Israel PM Netanyahu came back to Delhi on 16th January, 2018 to inaugurate the Raisina Dialogue, an annual flagship geo-political conference, in the presence of PM Narendra Modi. The Israel PM was all praise for his Indian counterpart s efforts to cut the bureaucratic red tape and said he was astounded to know that PM Modi led India to an increase in the Ease of doing business by 42 ranks, in just three years. The visiting PM further said that to become an economic power, a country has to simplify and reduce taxes and mentioned how his country has benefitted from such reforms. It is worth noting that the recent tax reform in the form of GST complements the words of the Israeli PM. He even spoke on the importance of startups and their role in the development of Israel and said The future belongs to those who innovate. He also expressed his high regard for India at the international level and remarked that The weak don t survive, the strong survive and you make alliance with the strong. The Israeli Prime Minister s visit to Gujarat focused on agriculture, irrigation, innovation and enterprise, sectors where India-Israel cooperation can yield excellent results. PM Netanyahu gifted a G.A.L-Mobile vehicle to the people of Sugiam in Banaskantha, a water desalinization and purification jeep the two country heads rode on Israel s Olga beach during the Indian PM s visit. Both the leaders visited the icreate centre in Deo Dholera, Ahmedabad and also felicitated the winners of the India-Israel Innovation Challenge. This visit by the Israeli PM and the increasing bond between the two heads of nations and the people of the respective nations is a historic step towards an impeccable partnership between the two nations. The mutual respect and admiration for the nations have been effectively communicated by both the leaders and this relationship is building itself to be one of the most powerful strategic alliance between two strong nations. LIGHTER NOTE And finally and this is perhaps the most important statement that I can make here my friend Narendra, any time you want to do a yoga class with me it's a big stretch but I'll be there. Trust me. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu 8

10 ATTRACTING FOREIGN INVESTMENT, Driving Economic Growth The Government s FDI policy can be summed up by our Prime Minister s promise of red carpet, not red tape for investors. The FDI norms in various sectors have been liberalised since the government came into power and the results have been extremely encouraging. As the World Bank stated, the Indian economy has enormous growth potential and the recent decision to further liberalise the FDI policy in key sectors is a step towards fulfilling that potential. It is important to note that the extant FDI policy does allow 100% FDI for Single Brand Retail Trading through the Government approval route. The decision to allow 100% FDI under automatic route is aimed at greater ease of doing business in India. It will save companies from submitting voluminous levels of paperwork and the subsequent task of getting approvals, which can take several months. Along with this, the government has also eased the local sourcing norms for the first five years to ensure that the retail outlets can function smoothly and optimise their operations. This will lead to an increase in healthy competition within the industry as well. The Cabinet has also taken a step towards easing the disinvestment process of Air India by allowing foreign airlines to invest up to 49% under the Government approval route. This is expected to bring the financial muscle and expertise required to support a turnaround in the national carrier. Another important decision was to clarify that real-estate broking service does not amount to real estate business and is therefore, eligible for 100% FDI under automatic route. The move will enable international brokerage companies set up their own subsidiaries here. This would create more jobs and offer professional services to property buyers. FDI is a very important driver of economic growth and a source of non-debt finance for an economy. These reforms will boost India's attractiveness as an investment destination and contribute to growth in income and employment. 10

12 HARNESSING THE POWER OF YUVA SHAKTI PM Modi pays tribute to Swami Vivekananda on National Youth Day Every year on the 12th of January, the country in high spirits celebrates National Youth Day which marks the birth anniversary of one of the greatest souls of modern India, Swami Vivekananda. Gracing the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two video conferences during which he inaugurated the 22nd National Youth Festival and delivered his speech to Sarva Dharma Sabha at Belagavi, Karnataka. Over the years, the philosophy, teachings & ideals of Swami Vivekananda have continued to inspire generations. Taking forward this vision, here are the key takeaways from the PM s address on National Youth Day: Youth, by definition, is one who works towards his future goals, unmindful of the past India s objective is to give its youth the capabilities and skills to make this century an Indian century The PM urged the youth to think of concrete objectives for the years 2019 and 2022 for the 150th anniversary year of Mahatma Gandhi and the 75th anniversary of Independence It is India s youth that is taking the Swachh Bharat Mission to new heights There was a lot of propaganda against India in the Western world that Swami Vivekananda proved wrong.

22 Historic move to protect fundamental rights of women: Lok Sabha passes Triple Talaq Bill The Supreme Court, in a landmark judgement in August 2017 set aside the practice of triple talaq. Following this landmark judgment, the Government led by PM Narendra Modi introduced the (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017 in the Lok Sabha to empower women of the Muslim community and to uphold gender equality and dignity. The Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha on 28th December The Bill proposes to declare triple talaq by Muslim husbands, void and illegal. Additionally, it provides for subsistence allowance from the husband for the daily needs of the wife and, of the dependent children. The objective is to ensure the larger Constitutional goals of gender justice and gender equality of married Muslim women and help further their fundamental rights of non-discrimination and empowerment. Haj Subsidy Phased Out- A welcome move towards empowerment and education EDUCATION Doing away with a practice prevalent for several years, the government has decided to withraw the Haj subsidy funds by Instead, this money will be earmarked for education and welfare schemes, especially for the girl children of the minority community. This came as a swift action by the Government following the order of the Supreme Court in 2012, to gradually phase out the subsidy within 10 years. The Government led by PM Modi has also increased the quota for Haj pilgrims from India by 5000, after discussions with the Saudi Arabian Government. Earlier, the government also extracted the rule that women have to be accompanied by a male companion to go for Haj, thereby empowering the women to perform the pilgrimage independently. 22
