India and UK look to usher in a new era of cooperation

Cultural linkages between India and UK are deep and extensive, arising from the shared history between the two countries. There has been a gradual mainstreaming of Indian culture and absorption of Indian cuisine, cinema, languages, religion, philosophy, performing arts, etc.

“Glad to speak to @RishiSunak today. Congratulated him on assuming charge as UK PM. We will work together to strengthen our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership further. We also agreed on the importance of early conclusion of a comprehensive and balanced FTA.” Mr. Modi met Mr.Sunak on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in Bali. This was the first meeting between the two leaders. The two leaders expressed satisfaction at the state of the wide-ranging India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and progress on the Roadmap 2030 for Future Relations. The two leaders appreciated the importance of working together in bilateral and multilateral forums, including G20 and the Commonwealth. Discussions touched upon important sectors of collaboration such as trade, mobility, defence and security. Early this year, both countries formally launched negotiations for Free Trade. An India-UK Free Trade Agreement would be a substantial opportunity for our economies and a significant moment in the India-UK bilateral relationship. Trade negotiations will be a priority for both countries as India builds upon the Enhanced Trade Partnership. In parallel to trade negotiations, the India-UK Joint Economic and Trade Committee will continue improving the India-UK trading relationship and addressing market access barriers outside of a trade agreement.

Early this month, formalising the much-awaited India-UK Young Professional Scheme was signed and exchanged by High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami and Permanent Undersecretary of State for UK Home Office Mathew Rycroft.

India’s impressive performance at Global Innovation Index

News update / harish

NITI Aayog has been continuously working towards improving India’s ranking in the global indices, including the Global Innovation Index. The Science and Technology Vertical is the nodal department in NITI Aayog concerning improving India’s ranking in the Global Innovation Index.

India has come a long way in the Global Innovation Index (GII), from the 81st spot in 2015 to the 40th spot in 2022 today. GII has established itself as a tool for governments worldwide to reflect upon policies and their impact. It has over the years recognised India’s continuous rise due to the progressive measures taken by the government and industry working hand in hand. The GII is the fulcrum for governments – across the world – to assess their respective countries’ social and economic changes. Over the years, the GII has established itself as a policy tool for various governments and helped them to reflect upon the existing status quo. The country has taken up structural reforms to strengthen its IPR regime, including modernising the IP office, reducing legal compliances and facilitating IP filing for startups, women entrepreneurs, small industries and others. Domestic filing of Patents registered a 46% growth in the last five years. The Indian Government has committed to bolstering the ecosystem of patents, design, trademarks, and GI (Geographical Indication) systems; to encourage innovation, research & development in the country and bring newer inventions and knowledge from India’s heritage systems to the global platform.

Marks (CGPDTM) last year announced that the IP process has been simplified and streamlined than before and also about the re-engineering of the whole process, including new timelines for disposal and shift to digital mode to promote ease of filing and obtaining services. For example, under Trade Mark Rules, 74 Forms have been replaced by 8 Consolidated Forms. CGPDTM has taken special care to expedite the examination of patents, especially for applications filed by Startups, women entrepreneurs, etc. While assessing the impact of measures taken, it is noted that E-filing has increased from 30 % to more than 95 %. India has also seen a rapid increase in the grant of patents and copyrights in the last 5-6 years. The number of patents granted has gone up from 6,326 in 2015-16 to 28,391 in 2020-21, while Trade Marks registration has shot up from 65,045 in 2015-16 to 2,55,993 in 2020-21. Similarly, while 4,505 Copyrights were granted in 2015-16, 16,402 were awarded last fiscal year. These developments have positively improved India’s ranking in Global Innovation Index. India has climbed 33 notches from 81st position in 2015-16 to 48th in 2020. The Office of CGPDTM is located in Mumbai. It functions under the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.

The Controller General supervises the working of the Patents Act 1970, the Designs Act, 2000 and the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and advises the Government on these subjects. The Head Office of the Patent office is in Kolkata, Trade Mark Registry is in Mumbai, and the GI Registry is in Chennai. The Offices of The Patent Information System (PIS) and National Institute of Intellectual Property Management (NIIPM) are in Nagpur. Innovation has been at the forefront of our battle against the unprecedented crisis created by the pandemic. It will be pivotal in driving the country’s resilience and self-reliance, as enshrined in the Prime Minister’s clarion call on Atma Nirbhar Bharat. India is the top-ranked economy in Central and Southern Asia and shows particular strengths in tertiary education and R&D, including global R&D-intensive firms, the quality of its universities and scientific publications. India also over-performs in innovation relative to its GDP. The consistent improvement in the GII ranking is owing to the immense knowledge capital, the vibrant startup ecosystem, and the amazing work done by public and private research organisations. The Scientific Departments like the Department of Atomic Energy, the Department of Science and Technology, the Department of Biotechnology and the Department of Space have played a pivotal role in enriching the National Innovation Ecosystem.

The NITI Aayog has been working tirelessly to optimise the national efforts for bringing policy-led innovation in different areas such as electric vehicles, biotechnology, nanotechnology, space, alternative energy sources, etc. The India Innovation Index, the latest edition released last year by the NITI Aayog, has been widely accepted as a major step in decentralising innovation across all the states of India. A constant thrust in monitoring and evaluating India’s position in the global rankings have been provided by the NITI Aayog, including in the GII. NITI Aayog is the nodal department of GoI for improving India’s performance in the GII. It has been taking several steps in this regard, from the constitution of an inter-ministerial committee to regularly interacting with top-ranking countries in the index to understand and adopt their best practices. To improve India’s ranking in the Global Innovation Index, NITI Aayog has constituted an inter-ministerial coordination committee chaired by its CEO Amitabh Kant. The committee monitors the progress of data updation for the indicators of the index.

News update / harish

The President of India urged the people of India to remember the people behind ushering in the Republic. She highlighted the sacrifice of forces in safeguarding the country.

On the occasion of the 74th Republic Day, the President of India, DroupadiMurmu, conveyed her special appreciation to our jawans who guard our borders and are ready to make any sacrifice for the country. She expressed her gratitude to all the brave soldiers of paramilitary forces and policeforces who provide internal security to their fellow citizens. She said,” India is called the mother of democracy. As a modern Republic, however, we are young. Such a vast and diverse multitude of people coming together as one nation remains unprecedented. We did so with the belief that we are, after all, one, that we are all Indians. We have succeeded as a democratic republic because so many creeds and so many languages have not divided us, they have only united us. That is the essence of India.”

The President remembered all those who shaped the modern Indian mind and also welcomed progressive ideas from abroad, following the Vedic advice. “Let noble thoughts come to us from all directions”. A long and profound thought process culminated in our Constitution. She pointed out, “Our founding document is inspired by the humanistic philosophy of the oldest living civilisation in the world as well as new ideas that emerged in more recent history. ” The President added the nation will always remain grateful to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who headed the Drafting Committee of the Constitution and thus had a critical part in giving it the final shape. She urged the country to remember the role of jurist B.N. Rau, who had prepared the initial draft, and other experts and officers who helped make the Constitution. “We are proud of the fact that the members of that assembly represented all regions and communities of India and that they included 15 women too,” the President said.

India is a growing giant in the Logistics sector

News update / harish

A Comprehensive and synergetic whole of Government effort is planned to ensure that the problems facing the logistics ecosystem are viewed in their entirety and solved with an end-to-end perspective to capitalize on the massive infrastructure investments already made and further planned.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently launched the National Logistics Policy, yet another important step towards becoming a developed nation with the National Logistics Policy. India is emerging as a world manufacturing hub, and the logistics Policy would act as a driving and guiding force. India is confident that drone technology will emerge as an important aspect of the transport and Logistics sector, especially in remote areas. The Prime Minister also pointed out that India must bring the logistics cost from 13 per cent to a single-digit number as soon as possible. COVID-19 has displayed the strength of India’s logistics sector in front of the world. Despite many improvements, the government was aware of the limited scope for growth without concrete reforms in the Logistics sector. The key issues affecting the overall performance included gaps in infrastructure which had so far been developed on a sectoral basis, a varied and silo-based legal and regulatory environment, disjointed IT systems, overdependence on road transport, suboptimal use of existing infrastructure due to suboptimal sharing of capacities, lack of skilled workforce, low predictability and visibility in supply chains resulting in heavier than necessary inventory costs and so on. With logistics costs in the country still high (13% of GDP compared to single-digit levels in developed countries), integrated development of the logistics sector was identified as a key area of reform. To achieve this, building a single government institution would oversee and coordinate with multiple and fragmented stakeholders across union governments and states was necessary. It would help develop the logistics sector into a strength for the economy by bringing down logistics costs. This offered huge scope for improvement in the competitiveness of supply chains in India.

Grant of Infrastructure status to Logistics sector- In a major push to the industry, the government granted ‘infrastructure status’ to the logistics sector, providing credit to the exporters at competitive rates and on a longterm basis, reducing logistics costs. A Logistics division in the Department of Commerce was created that allocated the task of “Integrated development of Logistics sector” to the Department of Commerce. The division is headed by a Special Secretary to the Govt. of India. It has been given the mandate to develop an Action Plan for the integrated development of the logistics sector in the country by way of policy changes, improvement in existing procedures, identification of bottlenecks and gaps and introduction of technology in this sector. It adopted a consultative approach for identifying and resolving gaps based on interaction with more than 100 stakeholders in the public and private sectors. The following initiatives have been planned and are underway as part of the consultation: A National Logistics Law that would provide an agile regulatory environment through a unified legal framework for the “One Nation-One Contract” paradigm (single bill of lading across modes) supporting the “One Nation-One Market” agenda has been framed and is under consultation with stakeholders. The provisions of the law will enable the assignment of a unique Logistics Account Number to replace unwieldy registration systems and encourage excellence certification in the currently fragmented market of logistics service providers. It will also promote common terminology, transparency in charges, and better mechanisms for industry-led conciliation and dispute settlement.

To deal with fixed infrastructure development in an integrated and holistic manner, the National Logistics Master Plan that is under development adopts a geospatial approach rather than a sectoral approach to identify gaps and blind spots. The plan aims to augment the inter-modal and multimodal transport mix by converging various ongoing projects/ programs. Conjoined development of related infrastructure (optical fibre cable networks, gas and utility pipelines) is planned to ensure no disruptions at a later stage. It is intended to monitor the Master plan implementation through an Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC). State and City Logistics plans are proposed to be developed in alignment and synergy with the National programs. In addition, a National Grid of Logistic Parks and Terminals is planned with a unified approach for the coordinated development of Intermodal facilities, promoting intermodal and Multimodal Logistic Parks (MMLPs) as a separate class of infrastructure with a national registry of multimodal facilities to enable price discovery, optimal utilization and facilitate planned development. A modern warehousing recommendatory guidelines and standards for warehousing and related physical assets are being developed to drive interoperability and compatibility. It is also planned to streamline processes for securing approvals/ clearances for setting up warehouses and their grading and certifications for excellence.

To develop a modern and agile fleet of Rolling and Floating stock, the planned steps include local manufacturing of containers, promoting containerization in less than train load and palletization in less than wagon/ truckload, and innovative wagon/ truck design. It is hoped that in the next five years, the targets set by the National Logistics policy will improve India’s ranking in the Logistics Performance Index to 25 and reduce the logistics cost in India by 40 % from 13% to 8% of GDP will be met. This will ensure that the Logistics sector serves as an engine of growth and a key driver for transforming India into a 5 trillion dollar economy.
