Holding that no policy can remain relevant always, president Pranab Mukherjee on Monday said policies should contribute in helping the flexibility and dynamism of the economy so that it grows.
Mukherjee said this while meeting a group of 8 probationers and 20 officers of Indian Trade Service
who called on the president at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Addressing the officers, the president said that Indian economy has undergone major changes over the years. ‘No policy can be considered relevant for all times.
That system is dynamic which has the flexibility to change with changing times. Therefore, our policies should contribute in helping the flexibility and dynamism of the economy so that it grows’, he said.
The president said foreign trade over the years has been playing an important role in the Indian economy.
‘Exports have continued to be the major focus of India’s foreign trade policy. With enhanced e-governance in Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and the changing role of DGFT itself, the officers would now have to act as trade facilitators and not only as regulators,’ he said.
