- Criticism that Atmanirbhar Bharat is a throwback to protectionism.
- On the dwindling enthusiasm for Global trade and if Atmanirbhar Bharat is essentially a response to the trend
- Did India suffer premature 'deindustralisation' in many areas due to embrace of unfettered free trade.
- Manufacturing has been laggard and will recent policy focus including PLI etc can help kickstart manufacturing in newer areas
- Crafting FTAs to support Atmanirbharta and what should be India 's approach to RCEP
- Arguments by former CEA etc that Atmanirbhata pivot is based on mistaken assumption that India was a laggard in exports.
- Role Of States in enabling policy environment
