Media and Entertainment
1) The entertainment industry occupies an important place in the
cultural and social life of our nation. Its size, reach, recognition, and
influence have grown remarkably in recent decadesboth nationally and
internationally. The decisions taken by our Government have greatly
helped India's film and TV industry in recent years. Both have a huge
potential for further growth, including in the area of employment
generation. A National Policy for India's Entertainment Industry will be
prepared, within six months, to realize its growth potential.
2) A broad-based committee will be set up to formulate a National
Media Policy that would comprehensively address all the complex
issues that have emerged in recent years.

achieving 8 to 10% GDP growth rate will have to rest primarily on
boosting labor productivity. Therefore, a nationwide program will be
launched to raise labor productivity by increasing the percentage of

3) The working of Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) will

implemented with necessary modifications to further strengthen
welfare, training, and employment creation provisions.

We shall:
1) Building on the recent achievement in increasing India's forest
cover, further measures will be taken to promote afforestation, social
forestry and agro forestry. States where depletion has reached critical
levels will receive greater attention. Joint Forest Management, which
institutionalizes community partnership, will be further strengthened.
2) Vehicular pollution will be controlled by stringent standards on all
motor vehicles at the manufacturing stage itself and by promoting the
use of clean fuels.
