While drawing attention to the need of innovation in doing business in the ever changing and dynamic business scenario, Mukherjee said: “Over the years, our CPSEs have developed a certain way of doing business. In today’s scenario, it is critical to re-examine, re-engineer, and re-enhance processes in order to continuously stay ahead of market requirements and expectations.”

While addressing the Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE) Meritorious Awards function held at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi on Wednesday for excellence and outstanding contribution to the public sector management, the president appreciated PM’s recent ‘Make in India’ campaign to transform India into a truly world class global manufacturing hub.
