WHY MAKE IN INDIA INITIATIVES?

India is a big hub of various raw materials, which are used to manufacture various products. At present raw materials are being exported to foreign countries then these raw materials are converted there into finished good and then finished goods are imported by India. It is like someone taking our product and selling to us on higher rate. While in MII, the foreign countries are being invited to establish their own manufacture unit in India, take raw materials from here and sell finished goods from India. The idea behind it, to reduce finished goods price, increase employment and move India towards development.

Target is to grow the manufacturing sector’s contribution from 17 percent of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013 to 25 percent within the next decade. A rapidly growing manufacturing sector is the only way India can create highly productive jobs for the 10 million-plus youngsters who join the country’s labour force each year and the much larger number of farmers who need to move from working the soil to the working on the factory floor.
