Seamless administrative support to industries can help overcome global economic challenges: Fadnavis
Speaking at a two-day administrative conference at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Nagpur, Fadnavis on Saturday said, 'If we provide seamless administrative support to our industries, we can overcome any international economic challenge.' He said that the state government will soon implement key reforms aimed at providing citizens with efficient and responsive governance. The United States on Friday slapped a 25 per cent tariff on India, potentially impacting about half of the USD 86 billion Indian exports to America. Nagpur, Aug 3 (PTI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has expressed confidence about overcoming global trade barriers, including the 25 per cent tariff imposed by the United States, saying seamless administrative support to industries can help deal with international economic challenges. Six committees comprising divisional commissioners and senior officers have submitted reform-oriented recommendations following extensive deliberations held earlier this year, he said. 'These committees have identified essential changes required in the administrative machinery. The recommendations, backed by detailed analysis and draft government resolutions, will be implemented immediately to enhance the delivery of public services,' he said. Fadnavis also assured that recruitment for appointments on compassionate grounds will be completed in 150 days, and no such post will remain vacant. He emphasised the need to revamp the District Annual Planning system, pointing out that it should not merely serve as an employment scheme but should become a tool for large-scale job creation and development. 'District collectors have been recommended to be empowered to allocate up to five per cent of the total plan fund for local developmental works under their jurisdiction,' he said.

From global agreements to local action: India's opportunity to lead the way in VDA governance
The Virtual Digital Asset ( VDA ) ecosystem is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing sectors globally. What began with the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2008 has, in under two decades, evolved into a diverse and expansive global industry. Today, Bitcoin is just one component of a much broader landscape that includes tokens, smart contracts, decentralised finance, and blockchain infrastructure. India has emerged as a global leader in this ecosystem. It has consistently ranked first on the Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index and is home to one of the world's largest Web3 developer communities, as highlighted in the Electric Capital Developer Report 2024.

Since then, most G20 jurisdictions have made significant progress. Did you Know? The world of cryptocurrencies is very dynamic. Prices can go up or down in a matter of seconds. Thus, having reliable answers to such questions is crucial for investors. View Details » The European Union's landmark MiCA framework came into full force in December 2024, setting a global precedent. In the U.S., regulatory momentum has picked up, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) forming a dedicated Crypto Task Force, and a presidential executive order on the Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile pushing the agenda toward concrete legislative action. Live Events Most recently, on June 17, the U.S. Senate passed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. These developments highlight the critical role legislatures play in shaping emerging tech policy and demonstrate how both legislative and executive branches must work together to sustain regulatory momentum. In India, however, a formal discourse on regulating VDAs remains absent. The current framework is limited to AML/CFT oversight, a steep taxation regime, and a proposal to collect and exchange data on VDA transactions via the CARF (Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework). One of the glaring gaps in India's governance architecture is Parliament 's limited engagement with emerging technologies, particularly VDAs and blockchain innovations. It is noteworthy that between 2021 and 2025, of the 52,116 questions asked in the Lok Sabha, only 0.063% were related to cryptoassets, cryptocurrency, or VDAs. In the Rajya Sabha, this figure stands at 0.08% of the 32,398 questions from 2021–2024. As for debates, the 17th Lok Sabha saw only three discussions—two through Zero Hour speeches and one Special Mention. The ongoing 18th session has seen none so far. In 2021, Parliament did indicate its intent to develop a legislative framework on cryptoassets, but that effort did not move forward. Interestingly, India announced plans to release a Discussion Paper (DP) on VDAs in July 2024. The DP is a crucial first step; however, nearly a year has passed since the announcement, and the paper is still awaited. Its timely release, coupled with engagement from a proactive and informed Parliament, will be key to advancing this vision. With only a handful of MPs currently equipped to navigate the nuances of digital innovation, there is a pressing need to build institutional capacity for informed legislative engagement. The Honourable Lok Sabha Speaker recently underscored the urgency of these issues, highlighting the importance of appropriate regulatory systems, data privacy protection, and equitable tech access being discussed across national parliaments. The complexity of VDAs—spanning taxation, financial markets, security, privacy, and global compliance—requires robust and sustained parliamentary dialogue. Sustaining this momentum will require improving MP awareness through briefing sessions, committee consultations, and cross-party engagement. India's ambitious 'Viksit Bharat' vision for 2047 hinges on inclusive growth and leadership in not only digital public infrastructure but also sunrise sectors such as AI, digital technology, and—critically—fintech. As VDAs become an integral part of this landscape, the forthcoming Discussion Paper presents a timely opportunity to chart a clear, forward-looking regulatory path. But turning this opportunity into action will require more than just policy intent; it demands a proactive, informed, and engaged Parliament. A strong legislative foundation—grounded in debate and cross-party collaboration—will be essential for India to not only keep pace with global developments but also lead in shaping the future of digital finance and technology governance.
