Nice Slogan
by sahil khan on Jan 04, 2015 10:37 AM

This Make in India is a nice slogan, unfortunately that is what it is meant to be. The planted Super PM continues making further fools of his foolish voters.

Skilled Labor

No Brahmin is going to be a skilled labor. These work are suitable for lower caste people. This is the general mindset of common Indians.

Indians need to understand that their civilisation has failed

The West has won by miles. Singapore realized
it and made that transformation. Indians need
to make that internal and external transformation.

Unskilled- no demographic dividend
by Bodh Ramdeo on Dec 30, 2014 11:38 PM

Unless the skills-level are upped as a matter of urgency, the much hyped 'demographic deividend' would be just that..."hype', seeing as most of the youths are either totally or functionally illierate...not even fit for semi-skilled jobs.

China has over 500,000 technical institutes compared to India's 5,000. This might help explain why they've become the factory to the world and on target to becoming the world's largest economy within the next decade.

Lee Kuan YEw is one of the only few nation builders in the history of world politics. This Raghuram is just showing economic numbers from harvard university books. Manmohan was greatest ecnomist. Was Manmohan a nation builder? You cannot quote economic principles applied in foreign countries and same can be said about India.

My point proves that and it goes with what all greatest politicians or leaders in world said about India...

But India cannot grow into a major economy on services alone Since the industrial revolution, no country has become a major economy without becoming an industrial power. -

Just as China is learning from India to improve its performance in the IT sector, so India must emulate China’s success in attracting FDIs and the jobs they create in manufacturing. It can do this by building infrastructure and educating and raising the skill levels of its workers.

IT is less than 2% of India’s GDP. While services have grown rapidly, the bulk of the growth is from service sectors where wages and productivity are low. Business services, which include software and IT-enabled services, account for only 0.3% of GDP. Only manufacturing can mop up India’s vast pool of unemployed, narrow the urban-rural divide and reduce poverty

Absolutely correct, I read that book One man view on world, where Lee Kuan Yew said about India is a nation of unfulfilled greatness, he said India lacks discipline of China, but India is doing well in banking and finance following international governance, but what a view he had given about India. I agree 100%. But our politicians wont give heed to him. He said this.

But India cannot grow into a major economy on services alone . Since the industrial revolution, no country has become a major economy without becoming an industrial power

Now it is up to India how do they differentiate and them different from china.

The answer is clear, if India wants to become a super power, industrial revolution without manufacturing is impossible.

Are you listeing Raghuram? This is coming from one of the greatest nation builders in history of world

Make in India dream of PM will be fulfilled
by Ramanarao Kallepally on Dec 30, 2014 08:34 PM  | Hide replies

There is no doubt that Make in India dream of our beloved PM will be fulfilled though it is late but not haste (Print this message). The opposition parties in LS of TMC, CPI, CPI(M) are very jealousy MPs, are creating hurdles without any reason and justifications, but BJP & NDA alliances are very strong government in Center and with their cooperation, ideas in running LS would be appreciated by International communities and even Indian voters, therefore, in future elections whenever it will be held befitting replies will be given to TMC, SP, BSP, JD(U), JD(S) and CPI-twin brothers will be taught good lessons very soon.

Grand master insight on china, usa and world lee kuan yew
by sridhar nanagiri on Dec 30, 2014 08:32 PM  | Hide replies

Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore served as PM for 30 years, and was longest serving PM in world and after he became minister and mentor. He is considered as greatest statesman in the world in 20th century. According to even many IAS officers who knows world history, they said Lee kuan Yew was one of the only nation builders in the world along with Kemal Ataturk of Turkey, but Lee shaped Singapore from a very difficult phase and there was problem one after another.

He is considered as the sharpest and one of the most clever leader in world. He knows world insight out and in his book. One man view on world and grand master insight on china, usa and world he said about India...

"India should benchmark itself not just against its own past, but against the best in Asia. And India can take heart from the achievements and performance of Non-Resident Indians (NRI) in free market economies such as the US, UK and even Singapore, where large numbers of NRIs have assumed high corporate positions in multi-national corporations. First of all, I am not comparing Singapore to India. I am comparing the culture and quality of the governance of Singapore to that of India. The values that are expressed by the leaders of a society are independent of the physical size of the society. Values and standards are thus not like physical goods. The value of not tolerating corruption applies with equal force whether the field is large or small.

Just because India is a few hundred times larger than Singapore does not mean that the determination to not tolerate corruption has to be a few hundred times the determination required in Singapore’s case.

Both India and China have both done much better than most of the world. In the decade from 1994 to 2004, India’s GDP grew two-fold from US$310 billion to US$661 billion. But during the same period, China’s GDP grew three-fold from US$542 billion to US$1,649 billion. In 1984, India’s GDP was about 30% smaller than China’s. A decade later, it was more than 40% smaller and by 2004 it was about 60% smaller. Such a wide disparity is unnecessary. India can and should narrow the gap by embarking on a new round of reforms.

I have been following the shenanigans of the government of India for a few decades.

Where did China do better? Manufacturing. That is where the foundation of a large economy lies. That is where it makes sense to distinguish between a small state like Singapore and a large ones such as India or China. A small economy of only a few million people can get by with only a services sector. But a large country with a billion people needs to have a correspondingly large manufacturing sector. When I say large, I do not mean that it should employ a large percentage of the people. I mean that the value of the production of the sector should be large. Why? Because manufacturing produces goods and it is the availability of goods that make people non-poor
