Making Best of Worst Times ? ( BLOG # 2,000 )




Worldwide spread of CoronaVirus is “ bad times

CoronaVirus shutting down factories in China is “ worse times

India depending on China for almost 50 % of its imports of following goods , is “ worst times “ :

Ø  Textile Fabrics
Ø  Refrigerators
Ø  Suitcases
Ø  Antibiotics
Ø  Vitamins
Ø  Insecticides
Ø  Diodes
Ø  Semiconductor Devices
Ø  Auto Parts
Ø  Steel & Aluminium items
Ø  Mobile Phones



Our options are :

Ø  Scour for suppliers ( equal in cost / quality ) from all over the world

Ø  Develop domestic suppliers on double quick



As far as the second alternative is concerned, I sent following suggestion to DIPP / ASSOCHAM / FICCI / CII / NASSCOM etc, in Sept 2015  :


[ Source :       Well Begun is Half Done       /           06 May 2016 ]


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*  Role of MakeinIndia web site


    >  On its web site , list 5000 products that we currently import ( with
        annual import bill / sources / ave landed cost etc )

    >  Invite 1000 leading manufacturing companies of India , to make
        online selection of minimum of 5 items each, for preparing DPR
        ( Detailed Project Reports ) .

         Freely visible online database of who selected which items
        will avoid duplication
         

         

*  Role  of  Manufacturing Companies

    >  Prepare and submit to Ministry of Commerce, at least 5 DPR  by
        Dec 2016 . More the merrier ! Earlier the better !

    >  Each report must carry , name of at least one bank which has
        accepted that as a " Bankable Report " , eligible for funding

    >  Train at least 100 fresh engineering graduates in various
         manufacturing related functions under GET ( Graduate Engineer
         Training ) Scheme  , each year

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In that blog / mail , I had also described these :


Ø  Role of Ministry of Commerce
Ø  Role of  Income Tax Department
Ø  Role of Fresh Engineering Graduates
Ø  Role of ASSOCHAM / FICCI / CII etc
Ø  Role of eBiz web site
Ø  Role of State Governments

=========================================================

Although it is more than 4 YEARS since suggesting this ( for Import Substitution ) , it is still not too late for DIPP / Finance Ministry , to announce that the expenses incurred by the Manufacturing Companies in preparation of DPR ( Detailed Project Reports ) , will be counted as their CSR ( Corporate Social Responsibility ) contribution
