Our indians has both man power and mind power but we are using only man power because we are not having required platform to develop our mind power.

India having 30 crors youngsters but US has 31crores 20 lacks people only. There are 28, 43, 391 Indians in US. Why they were moved to there? why couldn't develop a new IT Industry?

In India there is no resources like R&D (Research and development). So our graduates couldn't proved their innovations and develop industry in India.

See, japan is a small country only 127 million people over there but their IT and other industry growth is rapidly increasing because the main reason is they have R&D for every sector.

My perspective is, Comparing with other nation we have more man power and mind power, we can do anything. But some people are not willing to take risk while earning more money by IT but Some people has to take risk and try to be a entrepreneur, they are not having that much of money. So without the cooperation of the government it is not quite possible to start this industry.

According to my view, India has the capacity and strength to become a manufacturing hub.

The things those are biggest obstacles in its way are the lack of healthy competition between manufacturers, heavy tax, corruption etc.

If I consider about private sectors if any person tries to start a company with his hard earned money then there are many people to discourage him by not passing the order, so called agents are also there they establishes a sense of discontentment in his soul and he takes its revenge by using low-quality raw material resulting in low quality of materials. This is the case of small scall industrialists. If we see in big companies scenario is almost same there. In order to save cost of manufacturing they use duplicate (not their genuine) parts and hence quality is also degraded here.

The reason for this is due to lack of transparency unlike in IT industries everything is in its order. We just can't compare the things of ITs with factories.

The Manufact. Comp. Should use more and more R&D firms.

Indian people have both Man Power and Mind Power. But mostly Indian people use only Man power because they have no suitable platform, India have less resources.

One another thing in Indian people that they have talent but they can't express their talent so they didn't get job as they want or according their talent due to lack of communication skills, so they change their job or goal.

Second thing is investment in manufacturing industry and a IT/BPO company, after completing gradution a student can open their own company (IT/BPO) with the Bank loan, and easily start their profession with 8-10 system's and 10-15 employer's.

But for manufacturing industry their is required a lot of money or investment, so any one can neither think nor start indusry.

A Manufacturing industry can start with the help of government if we talking about nano technology, otherwise this is not possible my means not to say impossible without government this will start if Bussiness man want for example Ambani groups, Tata etc.

Though Many reasons can be presented for the current scenario like bank rates hike, high duties, poor or no policy reforms etc. , by the industrialists, the main reason why couldn we shine in secondary sector than tertiary, is poor infrastructure, a part of investment. As known by all investment for an IT or BPO company is not so big as for a manufacturing plant. That is why we have seen service takes a huge part in the GDP pie, with good performing financial institutions. The need for the hour is more investment in R&D. Government if couldn't afford to invest more can seek the foriegn aid through FDI. For a country like India where we have the large human resource with enthusiastic youth seeking an arena to learn more, it's no harm to allow FDI to improve infrastructure, just like how China improved it's trade. If there are more jobs in Industrial sector with an ambience to learn and increase the competency level of the employees, no Indian will prefer the BPO's that provide no option to excel.

This is just because of the Lack of infrastructure. Mostly we see in India only IT sector has always been at a boom but as far as manufacturing is concerned.its very limited.
Basically India lack in the field of development.despite so much boom in the IT industry.still India is unable to develop any world leading software like windows, etc. As far as electronics is concerned, we have potential engineers that can work in core fields of development but due to the lack of infrastructure, its still not possible to provide them a suitable platform to showcase their skills.

The Indian govt should take some steps to enhance development of certain units that will be engaged in the core development processes.It will be beneficial in two ways.
1. Brain drain will reduce to a great extent.
2. The load that IT sector is facing today will also be greatly reduced.

Moreover it will add to India's development into a Developed Nation.

Problems in manufacturing sector.

1. Lack of infrastructure - like power, transport, other things.

2. Lack of incentives to small scale industries - to upgrade. If most case if a small scale industry upgraded to medium one, then probably it will lose all their benefits from the government. That discourage the small scale industries to upgrade.

3. Lack of skilled manpower.

4. Lack of investment in RD.

5. Obsolete machines and technology - lessen the competitive.

6. Not a strong government policies, so disparities among states - the developed state grab the opportunities.

7. Reserving most of the production to small scale industries.

8. Very strict labor laws - you can't dismiss an unfit employee once they become permanent employee.

Need:

- Creating good infrastructure.
- Strong government policies.
- Investment in RD.
- Supporting medium scale industries.
- Providing tax incentives other sops.

Main factor in China's success is its investment in health and education that provided fuel to its explosive growth. India has under-invested in these key areas and hence its economic growth is poorly supported by quality human capital.

Manufacturing stands on keystone of proper coordination between workforce and the technological development.

Technology wise we always outsource the sharp brains, so we are surely lagging in that sector.

Talking about the workforce, if the workforce is unsatisfied or under satisfied, even then the productivity or efficiency decreases.

So according to my view, Government should start by investing into welfare of workforce and also from our side as citizens, we need to look at the problem of overpopulation, illiteracy and malnourished, which indirectly affect the manufacturing sector of India which is actually one of the backbones of our country.

The mind and energy one should spend in job, is lost in getting a job. Along with mark of harsh realities of Indian recruitment process on their minds people become incompetent and inactive in organizations. Every one wants to save himself and want promotion on others' hard work, many private organizations are just exploiting their workforce and their employees keep their mouth shut as we have many unskilled, skilled people for substituting them, Indian businessmen don't want to grow by technology.

They want to grow by exploitation, exploited work force means less purchasing power which means lesser production and massive job cuts which goes on till economy comes to total HALT, then REVOLUTION occurs, since freedom and happiness have to be replenished by wars and blood, to wash away the FILTH and introduce new fit individuals and ideas for creating a new and better SYSTEM.

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.

India can be good in manufacturing, we have a lot of factories. The problem is that we make very low grade stuff like cutleries, boxes etc.

Large organization do like TATA, Mahindra, Bajaj do make car, bikes in India but their technology is outsourced and even the R&D is outsourced. We heavily rely on outside R&D and technology. In case of IT we do R&D.

One of the reason being government not support R&D in manufacturing and many sector like aviation and defence goods are procured from outside.

Infact no Indian company has right to make defence goods and Aviation machines like chopper, planes. No kidding, if you have the tech and money to make a helicopter you can't do it in India law doesn't allows you. What reason our Government Exactly has for doing so, to show the world We are a peaceful country.
