3. Why?
• Present
share
of
manufacturing
in
Indian
economy
is
around
17%
of
the
GDP,
vs.
China's
over
45%.
The
developmental
and
demographic
reali7es
requires
India
to
increase
the
role
and
par7cipa7on
rate
of
manufacturing
in
the
economic
ac7vi7es
SIGNIFICANTLY…
• Between
200
–
300
million
(an
average
of
1
million
every
month!)
young
people
in
India
will
look
for
work
in
the
coming
years,
and
the
pressure
on
job-­‐crea7on
vs.
debasing
subsidies
&
hand-­‐outs
will
increase
with
growing
expecta7ons,
urbanisa7on,
shrinking
farm
/
un-­‐organised
sector
employment
and
budget
reali7es
• Indian
industries
are
finding
it
increasingly
difficult
to
abract,
find
and
retain
appropriately
skilled
workers
• India's
service
sector
alone
will
not
be
able
to
generate
the
level
of
employment
required
without
complimentary
manufacturing
/
industrial
sector
par7cipa7on
as
engine
of
growth
• Economic
history
clearly
illustrates
that
produc7on
/
manufacturing
is
the
essen7al
back-­‐bone
of
economic
development
with
equitable
and
sustainable
ci7zen
par7cipa7on,
beneficia7on,
harmony
and
cohesion.
A
nuanced
&
balanced
manufacturing
/
industrial
sector
is
less-­‐suscep7ble
under
inevitable
economic-­‐cycles
within
the
globalised
world
