In one way the correct meaning of PSE is - Profit and Social benefit generating Enterprise: PM Modi at CPSE Conclave
For public and private sector, the formula of success remains same - the 3 Is, which mean Incentives, Imagination and Institution Building: PM
I believe that Idealism and Ideology are not enough for economic decision making, they need to be replaced with pragmatism and practicality, says the PM
PSEs can contribute towards the formation of New India through 5 Ps - Performance + Process + Persona + Procurement and Prepare: PM
To date, we have been treating PSEs as navratana companies. But now, its time to think beyond it. Can we think about making New India jewel, asks PM

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, attended the CPSE Conclave at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi today. 

Thematic presentations were made to the Prime Minister on subjects such as corporate governance, human resource management, financial re-engineering, innovations and technology, and Vision 2022 for New India.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister described this conclave as a new beginning in the public sector sphere.

Appreciating the presentations, the Prime Minister said that the Union Government has given operational freedom to the public sector undertakings, so that they can improve their performance. He said PSUs have contributed significantly in nation-building, and in the nation’s economy, since independence.

He said that for Public Sector Enterprises, both profit and generating social benefit are important. Complimenting the PSE employees for their contribution, the Prime Minister said that major objectives of the Government, such as electrifying all unelectrified villages, and providing LPG connections to the poor, could not have been fulfilled without the hard work of the PSE workers.

The Prime Minister said that it is not enough to rest on past laurels, but is also important to adapt to emerging challenges. He said enterprise and innovation should be the guiding principles in the 21st century. He said Incentives, Imagination and Institution Building would be the three keys to success.

The Prime Minister exhorted PSEs to help in making the New India, through changes in technology and processes. For this he said, PSEs would need a 5-P formula – Performance, Process, Persona, Procurement and Prepare.

Elaborating the same, he mentioned improving operational and financial performance; transparency and accountability in processes; procurement through the GeM platform and from MSMEs; and preparation for technological disruptions such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing and Robotics.

He set five challenges before the PSEs, for New India:

  • By 2022, how will Indian PSUs maximize their geo-strategic reach?
  • By 2022, how will Indian PSUs minimize the country’s import bill?
  • By 2022, how will Indian PSUs integrate innovation and research?
  • By 2022, what will be the roadmap for Indian PSUs to optimally utilize their CSR Fund?
  • By 2022, what new development model will Indian PSUs give the country?

The Prime Minister said that out of the 500 biggest companies in the world, one-fourth belong to the public sector in some country. He suggested that Indian PSUs can link with PSUs with other countries, and develop a comprehensive strategy for overseas investment. He said PSUs can also play a key role in reducing India’s import bill. Noting that CPSEs have modern R&D infrastructure, in addition to the facilities that exist in CSIR and ICAR etc, the Prime Minister said that innovation and research now need to be integrated. In this context, he called for greater information sharing among CPSEs and Government Departments.

The Prime Minister suggested that the CSR spend of CPSEs should be focused largely on one specific theme each year. In this context, he noted the success that was achieved when this CSR spend was utilized for toilet construction in schools. He said one good theme could be the development of aspirational districts. He said CPSEs can also take up skill development programmes, as part of CSR.

The Prime Minister said CPSEs can work as role models in many areas such as paperless work culture, cashless transactions, and waste management.

The Prime Minister expressed hope that CPSEs would participate in a big way in realizing the resolve of New India.

Prime Minister today addressed a large gathering of Indian community members in Muscat. The audience included more than 700 students from various Indian schools. This year holds special significance for Indian schools in Oman, as they celebrate 50 years of their establishment in the country.

Addressing the gathering, Prime Minister conveyed greetings to the community from families and friends in India. He thanked them for their very warm and colorful welcome. He stated that he was delighted to meet people from various parts of India settled in Oman, and noted that diversity is the foundation of Indian culture - a value which helps them assimilate in any society they form a part of. Speaking of how well Indian community is regarded in Oman, Prime Minister underlined that co-existence and cooperation have been a hallmark of Indian diaspora.

Prime Minister noted that India and Oman enjoy age-old connections, from Mandvi to Muscat, which today is being nurtured by the diaspora through hard work and togetherness. He appreciated the community participating in the Bharat ko Janiye quiz in large numbers. Emphasizing that knowledge has been at the center of India-Oman ties, he congratulated them on the completion of 50 years of Indian schools in the country. Prime Minister also thanked His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik for his support for welfare of the community.

Prime Minister spoke about India’s transformational growth and development, of its speed and scale of change, and the strength of its economy as reflected by the more than 8 percent growth in the last quarter. Alluding to the achievements of the Government in the last 11 years, he noted that there have been transformational changes in the country in the fields of infrastructure development, manufacturing, healthcare, green growth, and women empowerment. He further stated that India was preparing itself for the 21st century through developing world-class innovation, startup, and Digital Public Infrastructure ecosystem. Prime Minister stated that India’s UPI – which accounts for about 50% of all digital payments made globally – was a matter of pride and achievement. He highlighted recent stellar achievements of India in the Space sector, from landing on the moon to the planned Gaganyaan human space mission. He also noted that space was an important part of collaboration between India and Oman and invited the students to participate in ISRO’s YUVIKA program, meant for the youth. Prime Minister underscored that India was not just a market, but a model for the world – from goods and services to digital solutions.

Prime Minister conveyed India’s deep commitment for welfare of the diaspora, highlighting that whenever and wherever our people are in need of help, the Government is there to hold their hand.
