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

Our study is not related with the work. The manufacturing industry is seeking for a intelligent technician to operate the machines of high cost. But the thing is, we are having good cgpa in our studies and not any practical exposure. So there arise a gap between the study and work. If the gaps are fulfilled the manufacturing industry can be flourished in India.

The reasons behind INDIA'S failure in manufacturing industry:

* I as a student of engineering background much concerned of the CGPA. There is nothing for r&d in my college curriculum. As a student of engineering I study manufacturing and designing of 80's. The syllabus content which is being taught in engineering colleges need to be revised. There should be more focus on technologies (new). Projects should be should be assigned to the students in each sem. So that innovative thinking of the students can be enhanced.

* At least students should try at their basic level to work on innovative ideas. As our president has expressed his concern about the less patents by indians.

Like many have mentioned India has the talent but not the resources. But a huge part of this talent is taken away by the american companies mostly the it ones. Also the corrupt politics in this country is the major factor affecting our manufacturing industry.

There is an increasing lack of confidence in the foreign as well as local investors because a proposed project takes a lot of time for clearance procedure and many other things which discourages the investors. A recent example of this is the 20 billion steel project is cancelled by lakshmi mittal due to the inordinate delay faced. The government needs to make the business environment favourable for wooing the investors.

Lots of problem had all ready told by my friends. But the main point we missing here is that how many patent we have related to manufacturing, for getting those & apply in industry we have to paid extra money to them.

Unfortunately we think that its an fault of gov. We all equally responsible for those.

* I don't think poor education system can be considered for this issue.

Because if somebody can join IT, Marketing, Finance passing out from the so-called poor education system then he can also join in core industrial field.

* The metal (lurgy) we have in India is more than sufficient for a good industrial establishment, but we give emphasis on exporting/outsourcing rather than investing in our own possibilities. Thats may be due to corrupt political system or poor self-centric mindset towards profit & growth.

* According to me Govt's action plays vital role in establishing a leading industrial development. A no of investors not only forward their hand but also ensure a better social, educational and overall development locally and hence in a bigger prospect. But politics, sometimes lack of thinking of even educated people makes it a bigger fail.

* Finally I am sure we can lead in manufacturing industry if Govt encourages the investors and more importantly supports them without playing with their patience (eg. Vedanta Alumina in Odisha not started from last 7 years because of politics and only pollutics).

Yes it can be. When some dream come true like:

Government should invest more to buy intelligent brain for research and development.

If they are paid equivalent to private companies, the will love to join R&D.

In our country most of the student don't get quality education in rural area because most of teachers are corrupt in government school, and in private school teacher are not as much qualified to teach children. As a result student are even not able to get a job. How they think about research and development?

India is one of the country in which people are suffering from corruption and all the political leaders are working for their own but not for the people and our country. All the corrupted money has to be taken out and should be used for development of our country and then our country becomes one of richest country in the world. But we the people are encouraging our politicians and therefore we can't change the present status of India.

In India all the resources are available to be developed. So my opinion we can make our country a best manufacturer in IT industry when all the black money is taken out and when all the resources and even people are properly utilized.

During the last decade, youth were very much attracted towards the IT sector which was more money earning way that could be one of reason for development of IT sector in India.

Coming to manufacturing, as the government neglected the R&D because of corruption and dependence on wealthier countries for technologies was increased, and then India just becoming mere supplier of raw materials, education system in India should also change, some strict rules and goals must be followed in government owned PSU to become world class manufacturers.

India will be world class in manufacturing, when it will produce the finished products at a cost lower than the other nations. Lower cost can be achieved only when it has technology. The World Class players in manufacturing have the technology, that's why We can not compete them.

Solution for the problem is Expanding money on Research & Development.

In my opinion, availability of basic facilities like electricity, water etc are the main problems being faced by the manufacturer. Secondly, our corrupt system also sometimes becomes a big hindrance for one to work peacefully. One cannot give 100% to his work because of harassments from various departments.

On personal front, small manufacturers always fear in adapting to the latest technologies. Also many manufacturers lack in work ethics.
