Why can't India be a World-Class Player in Manufacturing Industry as it is in IT & BPO Sectors?

Because, each and every product that are manufactured in India is of very poor quality.

Yes I agree with all of you.But one thing we never ignore,the main resource of BPO & IT sector are man power, where as resources varied in the manufacturing sector.India is a Developing nation as abhishek says before,so Engineering study field grows in a parabolic path which helps the availablibity of Trained man power for BPO & IT field where as Trained manpower for manufacturing field is less available.

I think that more over in India there is no special development on material sciences department. So no one showing interest to produce products because of limited resources and lack of special idea on that. Some of our citizens going to abroad because of money and finding better oppertunities.

I also agree with all of you, as foreign countries offer big salary for their benefit. Because they are exactly aware of Indian people tendency about money. Because day by day many consciousness increases like political issues, inflation corruption etc are reason which are diverting people mind.

Due to Corruption & inflation India is still developing country and not developed one like US. That all I can say.

Hello friends, all your views are really what I want to convey as well.

It and bpo sectors are solely dependent on work exchange rather than producing or manufacturing something. Manufacturing has higher standards and sops than compared to bpo or IT job. Additionaly, in manufacturing sector there are strict norms and availability of resources, infrastructure, skilled manpower and efficient workers are hard to manage whereas in bpo sector and IT field resources are just a room and few computer systems and therotical knowledge is same as the practical knowledge so their skills are not of much importance, whereas in manufacturing sector you needs several requirements and also quality is an important criteion that has to be watched for. That is why manufacturing sector in India is not s good as the bpo sector. Thank you.

Civil engineers, Electronics engineers, Mechanical engineers, Telecomm engineers, and all other kinds of 'engineers' are turning towards IT to make the easy, quick buck. Why cant we stick to our own specializations, our vocations, our fortés and build our careers and this country? Sure, IT job offers come in great numbers, but it is YOU who choose to take them because "its the 'easy' way out"! I work in an IT company and as true as it may be, that infrastructure and basic setup require comparatively less amount of money, its utter rubbish that talent or skill is not a requirement! There's something called people skill that is required in addition to the technical know-how of one's job profile! Let's not deviate from the topic and condemn IT/BPO, instead of discussing how we may better the current scenario. We needn't forget how IT/BPO has blessed this country's huge unemployed populace with power to sustain their families, but all the same, we do need to work towards entrepreneur-friendly policies, less bureaucratic involvement in the setup process of manufacturing units, easier capital availability, etc.

India had a lopsided growth compared to other countries. Normally a growth in agriculture is followed by a growth in manufacturing industry which is succeeded by the service industry. But in India we shifted from the agriculture development to the services sector which catapulted our growth to one of the mainstays of the world economy.

Because of the huge growth of services, the manufacturing industry was shadowed and contributes hardly 22pc to the GDP which is decreasing further. India currently spends only 1pc to RnD. Also inspite of having a strong patent system, the govt has not encouraged soft loans for inventors to develop and market their product. Another reason as already stated is the huge flux of engineers moving to the more glamorous I. T. Industry thus leading to a mis allocation of skills and lack of skilled people in the core engineering sectors, which offer lesser pay and where jobs require more effort and energy.

Having poor infrastructure has discouraged foreign manufacturers from investing in India. It has been calculated that we need $1 trillion to completely develop our entire infrastructure. Hence there's a lot of work to be done.

ALso some of the brightest minds from iits and nits prefer the huge pay packages in foreign countries which has affected our r&d sector.

All these factors have prevented India from being a strong player in the manufacturing industry.

Today's world is IT world and many new invention and innovation. the technology is advancing in a very broad way. our india is having 1.5 IT professional and in microsoft the percent of indian worker is 37%. So how we are lacking in IT.

We can make our own microsoft , we have the people, technology. US is ahead of us because they are using us, our people working there, the number of engineers we r having in india is the half of the population of US.

We can deal with every situation. we just need a well planned goverment ideas and innovation. our govt. is not taking initiatives for uplifting our IT industry that is the 3rd hghst in contributing to the GDP of economy. IT can beat the service and agriculture sector by the people and enginners India have.

Today's world is spreading of BPO and IT sectors, and every person are willing to join in that sector

We can not sucess in development of manufecturing industry as each work on natioan lavel are started by politician and they started to poltics on this subject. We need more money for this purpose. While for it\bpo hardly required some computer and few worker. Due to large money help of government is essantial but due to poltics not possible. So there should be an organization of well educated person develop by government who can help for development in manufecturing areas.
