 I think definitely small and medium businesses can compete with the Chinese and We should be doing everything To make them do that. Thank you sir. Yes The next will be food grains medicine sigh Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon. I'm from Tamil Nadu Food Grind Medicine Association a member of 5000 members across Actually, we have many problems in this food industry in regard of goods and service tax act when That was there in Tamil Nadu more than 589 products were an Exempted after the rollout of this new tax regime GST Everything has come into that tax structures Say if it is going to be many food essential commodities like rice wheat Pulsars grains and floors of the serals are all Suffering tax when it is branded and Unregistered brand it goes under 0% so it is nil rated if it is branded then it suffers 5% So without brand how could a customer will know that and how it could be marketed and For this registration and unregistration the disparity arises on the product and not on the Other other commodity one single commodity, but the disparity of taxes if it is branded It is 5% if it is unbranded. It is 0% So he was talking about on goods and service taxes and I'm talking about on single commodity the tax structures differs Simultaneously if it is going to be marketed on unregistered brand. We are supposed to file an affidavit Stating that we are going to forgo our brand and not going to have any Challenges on the own brand so these are the toughest time Which we are facing on developing our brand and people are saying that Give vocal for local and make in India and other things but still this brand Commodities are not able to get Promoted but I find that Thank you much everybody in this room is against the current GST formulation would that be fair Everybody is against it Like I'm a gsd. That's what I thought that are good Got it. Yeah, I don't agree. No, everyone is against nobody is nobody is there for it So so you can imagine that it cannot be correct if the entire small and medium industry is against it It cannot be a correct thing The next one will be from J. James tacked Yeah, put safety standards James once we I'll come into activity. Yes, sir, and we have a detailed representation for you. James Hello Raghuji You're going to call it. Oh, yeah, we've been sorry. We're not gonna. I'll wait here. Oh, yeah, we're going to call it I'm a good shit you know room Micro group Yes, yes, what about the government announces From a further MSME people these micro people are not getting the benefits One then how to control raw material prices Increase raw material price in the present situation The third one is they Need to remove penalty in GST due to COVID situation So I mean I would agree I would I would agree with Under COVID situation that we should have certain provisions that make GST More benign and I would happily I can happily raise it in Parliament And we can also Tell the government and put pressure on the government for that you want to you want to tell him in Tamil So now saying that under COVID situation, we would happily Put pressure on the government and raise it in Parliament that we should Make the GST more benign No, we can do it we can do it sad in Tamil So I just want to substantiate what he said we are very much plagued by the raw material prices and recent I'll just read out one thing JSW steel reported a jump of over 1300 percent in its consolidated net profit to 2669 crore for the December 2020 quarter. So only the corporates are making money and we are left in the lurch Nobody's addressed this issue. So many representations have gone from here to the government through various sources but nobody has addressed This finally and their own minister Nitin Gadkari has He has been written letters to the he's been writing letters to the Prime Minister But so far no action has been taken on it. That's what he was meaning. I can also Help you and try and raise it for you if you want Tell him in Tamil sir. I want you to ask him to speak in the Parliament Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you This will be the last question From Gokul Das KG group welcome, Raagulji In spite of large number of educational institutions in Coimbatore and in the country still lack of Employability skills How do you think we can change that? well huge part of the reason we have Currently We have an Unemployment problem So even if we have skilled people We don't know where to put them So the first the first thing that we need to do is we need to start the Economy once again, and we need to start the economic engine which is jammed, right? Our education system is not designed for Business our education system does not is not practical our education system is theoretical so There is no linkage between our education system and the business system and the industrial system so we should Link the education system to the industrial system to the business system without that linkage We will always be training people who will be useless for you do you do you have the ability to go to universities to Advise universities on what small and medium businesses need from their employees You don't so that linkage is critical linkage between our education system and business system, you know I was in a a Meeting external affairs meeting about Foreign relations it is the same problem in foreign relations if you look at our bureaucrats They have no understanding of commercials. They have no understanding of business. They have understanding of bureaucracy But they do not understand What business requires it is exactly the same with our education system or They do not have an understanding what the business people need So we have to bring that into the education system. So one last and final question from spinning association Let him do it and I will come to you. Sorry. It's here from spinning associate report. Where? Good after Mr. Bravo G. Good up. See I'm representing South India spinners association Mainly on spinning sector Say they we have the MSME category now Same a micro small and medium, but after the new loss has come the divisions are like that Micro is only to turn on around five crores for the small is 50 crores and the medium has gone up to 250 crores So when the government announces something any scheme for MSME micro is only five crores They are not able to reach because the medium is 250 big differences there So we case you to represent to the government is a segregate micro and small in one category and Medium and separate the other ways the funds what we get from the government or bank alerts goes to a medium sector totally and Regarding the power sector Less than one hc hc consumers mostly MSME mills are in the hc consumers We have to buy in IEX you have to have one more than one megawatt So now we want to have to be irrespective of the hc consumers can participate in the IEX So it'll be benefit for the all the hc consumers for the power power thing and we want to cap for a Some not micro and small that is our main request if you can you give it to me in writing? You give it to me in writing and I'll also I'll also do something about us. There is a big difference between a micro and medium and We want to control the raw material Because the as of the quarter is the main concerns of spinning mills its control 40% by cotton corporation of India It's a buying of the Indian cotton. It's about 40% CCA buys so every day the CCA increase the prices So we want the CC at least to maintain the prices for 15 days one month is good But at least they can meet in about 15 days now even the exporters are blaming the spinning mills We are increasing price because the CCA is increasing the price on daily basis So we need the control of the raw material because it's a government buying price already bought which is bought only They are selling you know they're buying and selling The CCA buys the cotton the season and sells in the daily basis. We want to control the prices on monthly basis So this is a thing. Thank you. Thank you You want to ask that? Thank you. Good afternoon, Raghulji Like you have come from Delhi.
