Guwahati: India plans to highlight Nagaland’s Hornbill Festival after assuming the G20 presidency for a year beginning on December 1, 2022 till November 30, 2023.
According to The Border Lens, Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphu Rio and G20 Chief Coordinator Harsh Vardhan Shringla recently discussed how to promote the festival.
According to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s advice, the G20 should not be restricted to large urban centres in order to take advantage of the chance to showcase India’s rich and diverse cultural landscape. To that end, Shringla is reaching out to various states to find opportunities to highlight the nation’s cultural heritage during G20 events. “The state of Nagaland has the chance to highlight its cultural diversity, originality and tourist potential during India’s G20 presidency”, according to Shringla.
According to reports, India will host more than 200 meetings in 50 places across the country as New Delhi prepares to take over the G20 Presidency for a year beginning December 1, 2022 till November 30, 2023.
On December 1 of this year, India will take over as president of the Group of 20 (G-20), an association of 19 major nations and the European Union.
According to a press release from the Ministry of External Affairs, India will be the Presidency in 2023 and will host the G-20 leaders’ summit in New Delhi on September 9 and 10.
Reportedly, the meetings will take place at very exotic locations in India that are less traveled.
The goal of Jan Bhagidari activities is to connect all blocks and districts with the G-20 in order to spread the message to the general public.
The term “Jan Bhagidari” describes the involvement of citizens in local government. Only when the populace of the country believes that they are vital components of the government can it function effectively. Therefore, it is crucial that citizens participate in governance at all levels.
As it formally assumes the G-20 leadership on December 1, India will also illuminate 100 monuments with the organization’s insignia.
Many people are optimistic that during India’s presidency the country will be able to significantly improve the current unstable geopolitical situation as well as the global economy.
Despite increasing external pressure, India has managed to retain cordial diplomatic relations with all nations and groups.
India’s presidency will also be fraught with economic difficulties.
Following the Covid-caused economic collapse, the world is now in a recession and the Russia-Ukraine conflict which has caused runaway inflation has made supply chain problems even worse.
A significant obstacle has been encountered by global growth. While the global economy expanded by 6% in 2021, it is anticipated that growth will slow in 2022 and 2023, falling to 3.2% and 2.7%, respectively.
By the end of 2022, the worldwide inflation rate, which was 4.7% in 2021, is predicted to reach 8.8%.
However, India is anticipated to grow by 6.8% this fiscal year and by 6.4% in the following year.
India serves as a model for other countries to achieve comparable economic growth and stability.
The G-20 declaration which mostly mirrored Indian viewpoints, promised to promote global macroeconomic stability by providing countries, especially underdeveloped ones, with a platform to strengthen their financial resilience.
Economic experts claim that India, a rising country has a thorough understanding of the economies of middle-income and low-income nations. With its distinctive viewpoint, India can assist the G-20 in achieving its objective of boosting these countries’ financial resilience.
The world’s nations and organisations have praised India’s economic model which has promoted free, open marketplaces that give chances to even the most vulnerable people.
This is a momentous time for the G-20 as well since a country that has always prioritised “dialogue and diplomacy” in its approach to international relations will now serve as its leader.
India has experienced significant growth thanks to its diplomatic and economic strategies at a time when other economies have collapsed or are having difficulty.
Many believe that the world will substantially benefit from the Brand India strategy as India applies its tried and true tactics to the G-20 Presidency.
