The Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) is keen to support traders in ease of doing business in the country, Ramesh Abhishek, DIPP Secretary, has said.
Traders should in the next two weeks come forward and submit suggestions where ease of doing business could be improved at both the Centre and States, Abhishek said at an event on digital payments organised by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) here on Tuesday.
These suggestions would be used while formulating the 340 criteria points that would be used for ranking States on ease of doing business for next year, he added.
NITI Aayog Chief Executive Officer Amitabh Kant said that all efforts will be undertaken to strengthen kirana stores in the country.
He also said that NITI Aayog was also willing to support traders and open to the idea of framing a policy for retail sector, in association with DIPP.
