In line with the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's initiatives to address issues concerning State Governments on priority by setting up a cooperative federal structure, ASSOCHAM strongly recommends establishment of an Inter-State Council for the following initiatives by the Central Government to create synergy and effective delivery with State Governments:

Formulate a National policy with the consensus of State Governments in key sectors like agriculture, mining and real estate to break the current logjam and kick-start seamless multi-state economic revival

Encourage active participation of State Governments in key infrastructure sectors like river linkage project, power grid management, GST and environment clearances

 

Build consensus in Central fund allocation and higher accommodation of demands from the State Governments

Create greater co-ordination between Union and State Governments in policy compliance and law enforcement, lack of which might impact business sentiment adversely

ASSOCHAM believes that activation of Inter-State council will dramatically enhance Centre-State relations and provide the opportunity for meaningful dialogue on all pending issues in time-bound manner, thereby creating a 'Team India' approach to governance, economic growth and sustainable development.
