India essentially present a "welcoming and comforting" surroundings to foreign capitalists who are incisive to establish companies and make up jobs here, Corporate Affairs Minister Sachin Pilot has said. Accenting the demand to have a growth model that makes jobs, Pilot on Friday told that the Government only cannot render jobs for the growing youth and that enterprising activity has to be bucked up for this purpose.He also said that close support and good working relationship between the Union and State Governments were necessary for catering a good investment climate to foreign investors.

India needs to make 50 million jobs every year to keep up the current growth impulse and provide possibility for those entering the job market. The Companies Bill - when decreed into law - will get rid of impediments and promote job creation in India, Pilot said at the second international meeting of Corporate Secretaries International Association (CSIA) here.

"We want to form the path easier (for investing). We acknowledge that there are impediments to investing here in terms of clearances etc. "One of the complaints that is often heard in India is it is very hard to begin a company or perhaps infeasible to wind it up. "If the Companies Bill gets decreed into law, we will be able to cut down the time taken to wind up a company. There are a lot of standards that we are following now which may not be there when new law gets represented," Pilot said. He was anticipative that the Upper House of Parliament would presently pass the Companies Bill, which will renew the just about six-decade old Companies Act.
