Make in India

May 26th 2014, undoubtedly left one of the most interesting mark on history when Narendra Modi who steered the BJP-led NDA to a stunning victory sworn in as the 15th Prime Minister of the country.
The central government was back in action after a long time and swarmed the economy with various policies.

One such initiative is ‘Make in India'. This most appreciated as well as criticised policy of the government was launched globally in September 2014 as a part of the Government of India’s renewed focus on invigorating the country’s manufacturing sector. 


The primary goal of the project was to make India a global manufacturing hub, by encouraging both multinational as well as domestic companies to manufacture their products within the country with a view to raise the contribution of the manufacturing sector to 25% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by the year 2025.

The logo of ‘Make in India’, a lion made of gear wheels, reflects the integral role of manufacturing in government’s vision and national development.

The initiative targets 25 sectors of the economy which ranges from automobile to Information Technology (IT) and Business Process Management (BPM).

Since the launch of the project there has been an increase of about 44℅ in FDI Equity inflows marking a milestone of success in the path of the initiative.

‘Zero defect zero effect’ has become a key phrase to be associated with the Make in India campaign. In the words of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it means “Let’s think about making our product which has 'zero defect' and 'zero effect' so that the manufacturing does not have an adverse effect on our environment".

Providing the strongest critique to the government’s Make in India strategy, former governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan said India rather needs to make for India, as an incentive-driven, export-led growth or import-substitution strategy may not work for the country in the current global economic scenario.

The former governor said the government should rather focus on creating an environment where all sorts of enterprise can flourish, and then leaving entrepreneurs to choose what they want to do. He added, “Instead of subsidizing inputs to specific industries because they are deemed important or labour-intensive, a strategy that has not really paid off for us over the years, let us figure out the public goods each sector needs, and strive to provide them.”

Former prime minister Manmohan Singh also said India can achieve a growth rate of 8-9% provided there is a “national consensus” on methods to take advantage of globalized world. 
He said, “I think that even though many other emerging economies are not doing too well, India has an opportunity to move towards a growth rate of 6-7% and thereafter to 8%.”

Make in India campaign has now become a calling card for investors to come and invest in the Indian growth story. To enhance the manufacturing capabilities of the country, the government is focusing on the development of sectors that are going to be the key focus in the coming years. By introduction of new reforms in policies along with a positive economic atmosphere, it has created a fertile ground for businesses to thrive in India.

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra!  It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far  more convincing without the starry l...

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money.

A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone  because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic. This s...

But what have been the major stages of this evolution? Let us take a dive in the past and follow up to the time of the millennials.  THE ERA OF SIMPLICITY(1910) -There was hardly any makeup and plain sarees with little or no de...
