During the panel discussion organised during the Swarajya-Vedanta ‘The Road To Atmanirbharta’ webinar, Dr V Anantha Nageswara, an adjunct professor of economics at Singapore Management University and presently a part-time member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council spoke to Siddharth Zarabi, Managing Editor of NewJ, on the following areas

  • 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
