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

In my opinion, ok, I agree with that India is a largest population country and using that manpower we can establish a great manufacturing country. But I have a question to my friends that if a same product (made by china or japan) sell in our market at cheap than our product.

Then what do you do? save your money or save your country? so, at first we have to encourage to many foreign countries to built a factory and produce any product by using their technologies and our manpower, mines etc. As a result the GDP of our country may be increased. We have to try to concentrate on more export our product than import their things.

Dear friends,

China has Forex and Gold reserve of 3,800 Billion Dollars. United states of america has a forex and gold reserve valued at 148 Billion Dollars only. China is in a Dollar trap. At this time, United states needs to consume less and produce more whereas china needs to consume more and produce less. So, if India is trying to take china's position, then we need to re-think about what we are doing.

United States is searching for another country from whom it can purchase goods from to sustain its consumption. We are trying to take the position of china in manufacturing. What if while serving united states we end up in a similar situation in which china is in right now? Why don't we try to serve China instead of United States?

As manufacturing industry needs more investment, more space, more machineries, as compared to IT industries so called BPO's and other;it becomes difficult for nation like India which is developing country. Also other Goverment, political problems matters.

Also weather, transportation, availability of raw materials, market. All these conditions also matters for any manufacturing plant. But IT industries can be seen anywhere irrespective of this things.

One big thing is the technical knowledge with creative mind is very important for anyone working in manufacturing industry as compared to one who is working in IT sector.

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?

As shashank said because of less opportunities the talented people in India in manufacturing field were try to fly in the other countries. I agree with him. To implement the manufacturing field government should take necessaries actions to provide good chances for student who had apt for this field. If the opportunities are here itself we couldn't lend our brains to foreign countries. People also think that if we are in the field of IT we get benefit in sitting. By making the people aware of the importance of this field and need of it. It's good for our nation.

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.

Manufacturing industry demands lots of risk factors, heavy capital and skilled manpower but in our country we always avoid to take risk.

Our students are made to focus on the technology that has been already developed in other countries rather than promoting research and development.

We know that we are unable to apply our theoretical knowledge in industries but still we are not providing practical knowledge.

And there is no doubt that IT sector will grow day by day because we can see that everything around us is converting inti digital.

We are wasting our indians potential for others and becameing a slaves to them we do what ever they say and working hard for them and they are giving 1 % of their profit to us as a salary, just think they paying high means how much they will be earning because of us, if we work for us means we ll be the best in the world for ever.

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 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.
