Gandhiji said, brothers may become angry, fight and break heads. But when they cool down, the apologize to each other. I should not have done that. I am ashamed. Any fights between any in Bharat Varsh is only temporary anger. When they become calm, they realize their mistake and accept their mistake and apologize to each other.

India National Manufacturing Policy - Trade Policy and Programmes




Points Made in the Book , National Policy Studies in the light of Ekatma Manav Darshan, Edited by Ravindra Mahajan, Published by Centre for INtegral Studies & Research, Pune, 2013

Section 5.11 A Export Orientation

1. The economic activity is all sectors should be benchmarked against the best in the global market.
2. We should also try to take advantage of export opportunities available in the world markets. But becoming an export dependent economy would not be in our interest.

Section 5.21 Stress on International System

In the days ahead, we have to continue to place emphasis on multilateral efforts to establish instruments and norms that will enhance mutually beneficial economic cooperation among countries.


Points made in the India National Manufacturing Policy Regarding Trade Policy

10. TRADE POLICY

10.1 Trade policy impacts significantly on the domestic production level and profile. The import and export regime, whether tariffs or export promotion measures constitute important policy instruments which shape a country’s production profile. With increasing globalization and international engagement, it is critical that these policy instruments be aligned carefully so that domestic manufacturing is not adversely impacted.

10.2 Trade policy is no longer restricted to border measures. International trade rules now encompass measures which are more internal to an economy than just border measures, for example, public/government procurement. Government procurement can be a significant domestic policy instrument by which industry can be seeded/supported through local value addition requirements. This policy proposes government procurement as a significant instrument. As such it needs to be ensured that the available flexibilities are not diluted at this juncture when the attempt is to strengthen the manufacturing sector.

10.3 The policy will take active measures to protect export of products and services from India from border taxes or other border measures that may be imposed by partner countries on the grounds of protection of environment including those related to GHG emissions reduction.

10.4 NMCC will be authorized to examine and make recommendations on duty structures and other measures to the extent that they impact the manufacturing sector in order to ensure that changes therein do not adversely affect the manufacturing sector.

India - National Manufacturing Policy and Plans



National Manufacturing Policy

Brief about the Policy - As existing on the dipp.nic.in website on 29 July 2017

In order to bring about a quantitative and qualitative change and to give necessary impetus to the manufacturing sector, the Department has notified the National Manufacturing Policy (NMP) with the objective of enhancing the share of manufacturing in GDP to 25% and creating 100 million jobs over a decade or so. The policy is based on the principle of industrial growth in partnership with the States. The Central Government will create the enabling policy frame work, provide incentives for infrastructure development on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis through appropriate financing instruments, and State Governments will be encouraged to adopt the instrumentalities provided in the policy. The Department has taken up the implementation of the policy in consultation with concerned Central Government agencies as well as the States.

National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs) are an important instrumentality of the Policy. These zones have been conceived as large integrated industrial townships with state-of-art-infrastructure; land use on the basis of zoning; clean and energy efficient technology; necessary social infrastructure; skill development facilities, etc. to provide a conducive environment for manufacturing industries. So far Fourteen NIMZs have been granted in-principle approval outside the DMIC region, out of which NIMZs at Prakasam in Andhra Pradesh; Medak in Telangana and Kalinganagar, Jajpur district in Odisha have been granted final approval.

Policy Guidelines (in searchable PDF/DOC) as amended upto 31.12.2016: Guidelines for establishment of National Investment and Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ) is Annexure-I.

New Manufacturing Policy to Create 100 Million Jobs in India
DMIC to be a Global Manufacturing and Investment Hub
Government Mulls Investor-Friendly FDI Policies
Year End Review of Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion


1.     NEW MANUFACTURING POLICY

The Government of India has announced a national manufacturing policy with the objective of enhancing the share of manufacturing in GDP to 25% within a decade and creating 100 million jobs.  It also seeks to empower rural youth by imparting necessary skill sets to make them employable.  Sustainable development is integral to the spirit of the policy and technological value addition in manufacturing has received special focus.

The Policy is based on a principle of industrial growth in partnership with the States. Central Government will create the enabling policy framework, provide incentives for infrastructure development on a PPP basis through appropriate financing instruments, while State Governments will identify the suitable land and be equity holders in the NIMZs. The following are the key policy instruments for achieving the objective:

a)     Establishment of National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs) – green field integrated Industrial Townships with state –of-the-art infrastructure and land use on the basis of zoning; clean and energy efficient technology and requisite social infrastructure. NIMZ proposed with land area of at least 5000 hectares.

b)    Industrial Townships are proposed to be self governing and Autonomous Bodies under Article 243(Q-c) of the Constitution.

c)     The trunk infrastructure will be financed appropriately by Central Government including through viability gap funding while SPV will develop the zone infrastructure in PPP mode.

d)    NIMZ will be managed by Special Purpose Vehicle, headed by. Govt. officials and experts, including those of environment.

The policy has also come up with proposals to improve access to finance for SMEs in the manufacturing sector.

The proposals in the policy are generally sector neutral, location neutral and technology neutral except incentivization of green technology.  While the National Investment & Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs) are an important instrumentality, the proposals contained in the Policy apply to manufacturing industry throughout the country including where ever industry is able to organize itself into clusters and adopt a model of self-regulation.

2.     DELHI-MUMBAI INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR

The first phase of the NIMZ will be established along the DMIC which will see early results in the next few years. The development of this corridor will be anchored in the National Manufacturing Policy which will give its strength by providing an overarching policy framework.

The Government of India is developing the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), as a global manufacturing and investment destination utilizing the high capacity 1483 km long western dedicated railway Freight Corridor (DFC), as the backbone. In essence, the DMIC project is aimed at the development of futuristic industrial cities. This would involve/attract an estimated investment of around US$ 90-100 billion over the next thirty years.  The DMIC project covers 6 States i.e. Haryana, UP, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat, accounting for 43% of the national GDP, 50% of industrial production and exports and 40% of total workforce. It is estimated that the developments under the project will offer employment opportunities for over three million people.

DMIC has 24 nodes covering 11 Investment Regions (IR) of more than 200 sq. kms each and 13 Industrial Areas (IA) of about 100 sq. kms each. Initially, 7 (Seven) investment nodes are being developed with assistance from Government of India.

e)     The 7 Investment Regions under DMIC will be NIMZs as under:
§  Ahmedabad-Dholera Investment Region, Gujarat (900 sq km)
§  Shendra-Bidkin Industrial Park city near Aurangabad, Maharashtra (84 sq km)
§  Manesar-Bawal Investment Region, Haryana (380 sq km)
§  Khushkhera-Bhiwadi-Neemrana Investment Region, Rajasthan (150 sq km)
§  Pithampur-Dhar-Mhow Investment Region, Madhya Pradesh (370 sq km)
§  Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region, Uttar Pradesh (250 sq km) and
§  Dighi Port Industrial Area, Maharashtra (230 sq km).

The present status of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor is as follows

§  Master Plans of New Industrial Cities have been approved except the one for Uttar Pradesh.
§  The Cabinet in its meeting held on 15th September, 2011 has, inter alia, approved financial assistance of Rs.17, 500/- crore over the next five years for the development of industrial cities in the Delhi – Mumbai Industrial Corridor. In addition, Rs.1000/- crore has been approved for undertaking project development activities by the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation.
§  State Governments have initiated the process of land acquisition except Uttar Pradesh.




3.     INVESTOR-FRIENDLY FDI POLICIES

The policy on FDI is reviewed on an ongoing basis, through a consultative process, so as to facilitate FDI inflows. Some of the significant measures taken towards rationalization and simplification of the policy in recent years include:


(i) Consolidation of FDI policy:

FDI Policy has been consolidated into a single document for ease of reference, which is being updated every six months.
(ii) Review of policy on cases requiring prior Government approval for foreign investment:

Only proposals involving total foreign equity inflows of more than Rs.1200 crore (as against the earlier limit of the total investment being more than Rs.600 crore), now require to be placed for consideration of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs.

(iii) Introduction of a specific provision for ‘downstream investment through internal accruals’:

This measure implies that Indian companies have full freedom in accessing their internal resources for funding their downstream investments.

(iv) Flexibility in fixing the pricing of convertible instruments through a formula, rather than upfront fixation:

This change, which provides flexibility in price fixation of convertible instruments, through a formula, rather than through upfront fixation, has been made intended to assist recipient companies in obtaining a better valuation based upon their performance.

(v) Inclusion of fresh items for issue of shares against non-cash considerations, including import of capital goods/ machinery/ equipment and pre-operative/ pre-incorporation expenses:
This measure, which liberalizes conditions for conversion of non-cash items into equity, has been introduced to significantly ease the conduct of business.

(vi) Removal of the condition of prior approval in case of existing joint ventures/technical collaborations in the ‘same field”:
The requirement of Government approval for establishment of new joint ventures/technical collaborations in the ‘same field’ has been done away with.

(vii) Permitting of FDI in Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), subject to specified conditions:

This change, which permits induction of FDI through the new modality of LLPs, implies significant benefits to the Indian economy, by attraction of greater FDI, creation of employment and bringing in international best practices and latest technologies.

Cabinet cleared 100% FDI in Single Brand retail and 51% FDI in Multi Brand Retail. The decision regarding Multi Brand Retail is suspended till the consensus is developed through consultation among various stakeholders

Employment in Unincorporated Nonagricultural Enterprises in India during July 2015 to June 2016


A press note dated (29.6.2017) is given by MOSPI on this topic.

6.34 crore establishments (firms) are engaged in economic activities. This figure excludes firms in construction sector.

Breakup - 31% in manufacturing - 36.3% in trading, 32.6% in services

51% rural, 49% urban

84.2% do not employ any regular worker (family members only help)

11.13 crore workers are employed.

62% work in the own account enterprises and 38% work as wages/salary paid workers.

96% proprietory, 2% partnerships, 1.8% self help groups (SHG)

20% proprietors are ladies.

98.3% are perennial or permanent activities.

87% operate from fixed location, 4.4% mobile, 9% street vendors.

31% have registered with some authority or other.

Gross value added 11.53 lakh crores


Gross value added per worker   11.53 lakh crores/11.13 crore - approximately one lakh 


Average emoluments of hired workers Rs. 87,544

Market value of owned fixed assets per enterprise is valued at Rs. 2,31,869


A quick conclusion is one can look for opportunities making one lakh in year by investing one lakh rupees in industry/services/trading activities.


Is unemployment a real problem in India?


According to me unemployment is not a very big problem in India at the moment. The problem of unemployment can be solved with good strategy and action plans.  Why do I say it?

See this analysis of employment in India.

The quantitative dimensions of unemployment, captured in the 5th Employment Unemployment Survey (EUS) reveals the following. There has been a progressive worsening of the unemployment situation since 2011-12, as captured by the 2nd round of the EUS. 

At the All-India level, the number of persons aged 15 years and above employed per 1,000 persons went down from 529 to 503. Overall unemployment rate worsened from 3.8 percent to 5 percent.

If more than 50% of the population above age 15 are employed, it is a good situation. As we know we want 30% of the student age group to be in colleges. Also we want at least one person for family to be employed at least.  Which means that employment above 25% is good. 50% is very good. If means, in an average family of 4 members (including 2 elders), 2 are employed.

That does not mean unemployment is not a problem for persons seeking employment. We need to take actions to make the system more comforting persons who are seeking employment for the first time after completing their education.

National Seminar on “The Concepts of Nation and Nationalism in the thoughts of Shri M.S. Golwalkar”


Seminar Announcement for Papers
Last date already over: 27 June 2017, Seminar dates are to be announced.
www.icpr.in/M.S.Golwalkar.pdf

Important points in thought and activities of Shri M.S. Golwalkar

Ancient Indian ideas and ideals are not antagonistic to universal well-being (Ekatma Manav Darshan)

The concept of nation that present Indians talk of comes from the ancient idea of Bharat Varsh, that includes  territorial description and cultural description with Sanatan Dharma as the foundation.

Golwalkar’s conception of Hind Rashtra, the ideal for this territory is not theocracy. Rather it it can be branded as “Dharmocracy”. He emphasizes Dharma-centricity of Indian cultural ethos. Dharma is a very comprehensive concept enriched by several ideas and ideals, customs, traditions and practices which are beneficial to individual, society and world at large.

He spearheaded one of the strongest religious, cultural and social organizations of the world making determined efforts to inculcate in its followers a burning devotion to India and its ancient national ethos. He tried to kindle in them the spirit of dedication, moral character, service to society and its security.. He strived to arouse social consciousness, mutual goodwill, love and cooperation among them all and made them realize that castes, sects, languages etc. are secondary and the concept of the nation is supreme. People should not do anything that injures the nation and its spirit.  Thus he tried to inculcate in them behavior that strengthens the spirit of national consciousness in every Indian.

Prior Identified Superclusters


Contemporary catalogs of superclusters  range from relatively smaller systems such as the Hercules supercluster (Abell 1961) to the much more massive Shapley Concentration containing several major clusters and numerous groups (Raychaudhury 1989; Bardelli et al. 2000; Proust 2006).

More recently, a new supercluster called Laniakea, spanning ∼ 160 Mpc across, is identified (Tully et al. 2014) which is home to our Milky Way galaxy.

Government sets target to provide skill training to 40.02 crore people by 2022

Government here today launched SKILL INDIA on the occasion of the first-ever World Youth Skills Day. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi was the Chief Guest for the event, which was held in the Plenary Hall of Vigyan Bhavan. The Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy was the Guest of Honour on this occasion. Union Ministers Shri Arun Jaitley, Shri Manohar Parrikar, Shri Suresh Prabhu, Shri Anant Geete, Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda, Shri Ananth Kumar, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar, Shri Thaawar Chand Gehlot, Shri Piyush Goyal and Shri Santosh Kumar Gangwar were present on the dais.

Several Chief Ministers, State Ministers, Secretaries to the Government of India and other representatives from central and state governments were also present at the event. Foreign dignitaries, including Ambassadors and High Commissioners, senior industry leaders, representatives of multilateral organizations and from industry associations also attended the two-hour long main function. ITI faculty, skill trainers and trainees from a range of training programs also participated.

During the event, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi unveiled the Skill India logo and launched four landmark initiatives of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship: National Skill Development Mission, National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship 2015, Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) scheme and the Skill Loan scheme.

The Skill India logo depicts a clenched hand in which a spanner and pencil are firmly held, exemplifying the empowerment of the individual through skilling. The spanner and pencil are held together, suggesting that both skill and general education are at parity and aspirational for India’s youth. The tagline, ‘Kaushal Bharat, Kushal Bharat’ suggests that skilling Indians (‘Kaushal Bharat’) will result in a happy, healthy, prosperous and strong nation (‘Kushal Bharat.’) A short film unveiling the logo was shown, which featured the Sanskrit chant ‘SarvadaVigyataVijaya,’bmeaning ‘Skill Always Wins.’

The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), the Ministry’s flagship, demand-driven, reward-based skill training scheme will incentivise skill training by providing financial rewards to candidates who successfully complete approved skill training programmes. Over the next year, PMKVY will skill 24 lakh youth, across India. For the first time, the skills of young people who lack formal certification, such as workers in India’s vast unorganised sector, will be recognised. Through an initiative known as ‘Recognition of Prior Learning’ (RPL), 10 lakh youth will be assessed and certified for the skills that they already possess.

Prime Minister also launched the Skill Loan scheme. Loans ranging from Rs 5,000-1.5 lakhs will be made available to 34 lakh youth of India seeking to attend skill development programmes over the next five years.Sanction letters for the first ever Skill Loans were handed out by the Prime Minister to aspiring trainees.

During the function, Shri Narendra Modi awarded Skill Cards and Skill Certificates to trainees who had recently completed training through the Pilot Phase of PMKVY, which started in May 2015. Such Skill Cards and Skill Certificates will allow trainees to share their skill identity with employers. Each Skill Card and Skill Certificate features a Quick Response Code (QR Code), which can be read through a QR reader on mobile devices. Trainees can use these to share their skill qualifications with employers in a quick and reliable way during the job search process.

The Prime Minister addressed the audience, articulating a clear overarching vision for Skill India. He highlighted the centrality of skills to India’s development and called on government, private sector and India’s youth to work together to make this vision a reality. The Prime Minister also highlighted the potential for skilled Indian youth to be recognized around the world. He congratulated six award winners from WorldSkills Oceania, an international skill competition and wished them success as they go on to compete at the World Skills Competition in Sao Paolo next month.

Across the country, 2,33,000 youth were awarded certificates from ITIs, and 18,000 plus graduating students received job offer letters on the occasion of World Youth Skills Day. The Prime Minister personally presented industry job offer letters to five female ITI graduates at the event.

The Finance, Corporate Affairs and Information & Broadcasting Minister Shri Arun Jaitley shared his vision and commitment for Skill India and highlighted the importance of coordination of skill development efforts across Ministries through the National Skill Development Mission.

The Minister of State (Independent Charge) of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship welcomed the audience at the outset of the event. He outlined the steps the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is taking to turn the Prime Minister’s vision of a skilled India into reality. He also underscored the importance of strategic partnerships in achieving the Skill India vision, showcasing inter-Ministerial initiatives to scale up skill development efforts.

Five eminent persons shared their vision for Skill India. The distinguished speakers were Mr S. Ramadorai, Chairman NSDC and NDSA, Dr. Alim Chandani, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Gallaudet University, Mr Manish Sabharwal, Co-founder and CEO, Team Lease Services, Dr Romesh Wadhwani, Founder, Wadhwani Foundation and CEO, Symphony Group and Professor Mukti Misra, Founder and President, Centurion University.

Earlier soon after reaching the venue of the main event, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi visited a demonstration of the Safeducate Container School installed at Vigyan Bhavan for the event. India’s first Container School was set up in Ambala by Safeducate by refurbishing discarded containers and using them for skill training in logistics. 189 students per month will be trained using four such containers under PMKVY with a view to scale up skill initiatives quickly in areas with low levels of infrastructure.

At the exhibition, the Prime Minister interacted with students across the country through a distance learning tool being used to deliver training of trainers at 200 ITIs, with plans to deliver training directly to students. He launched the Apprenticeship portal, a one stop shop for apprenticeship related issues, which can be used by industry, students and trainers alike. He also viewed a demonstration of six simulators (drone, weaving, fork lift, tractor, driving, welding) being used to deliver skill training at centres across the country by Tata Consultancy Services.

World Youth Skills Day and the launch of SKILL INDIA were celebrated nation-wide. State Governments organized events to emphasize the importance of skill development for the youth in their states, mobilizing candidates, launching fresh training programs and felicitating successful trainees. ITIs across the country also participated in the event through a live feed of the event.

Across India, special PMKVY mobilization camps are being organized at 100 locations with Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS). A national SMS campaign is being rolled out to build awareness of the program, reaching about 40 crore subscribes. Fresh PMKVY training was initiated in 1,000 centres across all States and Union Territories in India today, covering 50,000 youth in 100 job roles across 25 sectors. In New Delhi, Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy flagged off 150 Skill Vans to create awareness among people of Delhi and NCR region on government’s policies and initiatives on skill development. He said that the government has set a target to provide skill training to 40.02 crore people by 2022.
