The DMK government will stick to its poll promise of reserving 75% jobs in the private sector for Tamils, according to Industries Minister In an interview, he shared his thoughts on the investment climate, plans for the future and more. Edited excerpts: These rankings don’t always depict the ground reality of the investment climate in the State. Even at the global and national levels, concerns have been raised around the conceptualisation, methodology and evaluation process of the EoDB ranking. Tamil Nadu does well in many rankings, like the Export Preparedness Index and the Innovation Index, which complement EoDB. The EoDB ranking methodology needs a holistic relook. The Chief Minister recently launched 100-plus services on the single window portal. This will help us better our rankings. The true indicator of EoDB is the investments attracted. In three months, our government has signed MoUs entailing investments worth ₹17,141 crore.More Related News
