"MAKE IN INDIA": Another Bubble ?

A Lion designed to WORK!
" INDIA has three things that no other country in the world has: Democracy; Demographic Dividend & Demand " - Narendra Modi


The basic difference, that I found, between Shri Narendra Modi and other so called "competitors" for the position of The Indian Prime Minister, is that, "HE HAS A VISION & HE CAN THINK ...". 

With the vision to develop every Indian into a handsome buyer and make India a manufacturing hub, Shri Narendra Modi on Thursday launched his most ambitious project The "Make In India" campaign at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. But the question is: " Will it succeed ? Or is it an another bubble ? "

We all are very much aware about the law and order of India, the macro & micro economic policies of India and the taxation policies of India. India ranks at 134 out of the 189 countries in the World Bank's index of "Ease of doing Business". India has never been considered to be corporate friendly. I remember a recent case, when the Reliance Industries Limited was operating in the oil fields of Andhra Pradesh in a joint venture with British Petroleum, they filed an application for the permission of doing Hydraulic Fracturing in the oil wells for increasing production and reviving old wells. According to a report published in The Hindu, they have to wait for 18 months for that application to be sanctioned. This is not just one case, there are an enormous number of permits and licenses involved in business, which are obviously not easy to clear in India.

Modi's sole focus is towards, making India a business friendly country, so that more foreign companies and domestic entrepreneurs can start businesses here. Which will in turn result in more money being pooled into the country by the FIIs (Foreign Investment Institutions). This vision and this thinking are the seed of "MAKE IN INDIA" campaign.

With 500 global CEO's, and  business stalwarts like Mukesh Ambani, Cyrus Mistry, Kumar Mangalam Birla and Azim Premji, attending Narendra Modi's ambitious investment campaign, Modi laid a red carpet  for both global and domestic industrialists and investors, Modi said, "We want our companies to shine as MNCs. The government is ready to stand as facilitators. We can change the direction and fate of India." 
" It is important to increase the purchasing power of the common man, as this would further boost demand, and ultimately spur development, in addition to benefiting investors. The faster people are pulled out of poverty and brought into the middle class, the more opportunity will there be for global business. Cost effective manufacturing and a handsome buyer (one who has purchasing power) are both required. This is a cycle, move poor people towards being a part of the middle class. Manufacturing boost will create jobs, increase purchasing power, thereby creating a larger market for manufacturers," he explained.
The Indian economy is becoming more and more dependent on the services-driven growth model, and the "MAKE IN INDIA" campaign is about to transform this into a labour-intensive manufacturing-driven growth. The Concept is a bit straight forward, Just increasing manufacturing will also not improve the situation, he quoted, "What's the point of just making Maruti Suzuki if the people are not in a condition to buy Maruti Suzuki." Hence, through skill development and increasing manufacturing, he is focused towards developing handsome buyers, which in turn will automatically increase manufacturing, as the demand will increase.
Narendra Modi said, "India is the only country that offers Democracy, Demographic Dividend and Demand and the world is ready to come to Asia. The new era of economic growth is in Asia and we have to see how to make it India's. I don't need to give an invitation; I just need to tell people the address of India. I want to take India higher on Ease-of-Doing-Business Index and want to enhance Public-Private Partnerships in skills development."
Mentioning incidents about industrialists and Indian people leaving India, he said, "The most important thing is faith, but we have run the country in such a way that we have failed to show faith in our own people. What happened in the last few years? Whenever I met people for the last few years they would tell me- we want to shift out. But I do not want any industrialist being forced to leave India and I can say that we have been able to bring about a change in the last few months."

Modi in his speech gave a new definition to FDI, calling the development as India's 'Collective Responsibility' he said that, "FDI is an opportunity for the foreign investors as Foreign Direct Investment but for the Indian it is a responsibility, FDI stands for First Develop India."

To the expression “Look East,” Modi added “Link West”, emphasizing on the necessity of a global vision. Mr. Prime Minister believes in the infrastructure of the future – including i-ways besides highways. The Digital India mission would ensure that Government processes remained in tune with corporate processes.

Emphasizing on the importance of exporting products that are Made In India, Modi added, "I, urge upon the youth, in particular our small entrepreneurs that they would never compromise, at least on two terms, "First, Zero defect and, second Zero effect." We should manufacture goods in such a way that they carry zero defect & we should manufacture goods with zero effect that they should not have a negative impact on the environment."

Also, in order to develop faith and trust between Indians themselves and also between the citizens of the country and the government, Modi said:
" Who is the Government for? It is for every Indian. It is for the poorest of the poor. Mantra of our Government is that we want to trust each and every Indian. The atmosphere of trust can change a lot of things. Our government wants to have a faith in each and every citizen. The change cannot only take place inside the parliament, it can also happen outside." "Industry does not come when there are too many incentive schemes. To bring industries, we have to create a development and growth oriented environment. We have to increase manufacturing and at the same time ensure that the benefits reach the youth of our nation and this is the step of a Lion", he added.

Chanda Kochhar (CEO, ICICI Bank); Kenichi Ayukawa (Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India); Mukesh Ambani (Chairman & Managing Director, Reliance Industries); Cyrus Mistry (Chairman, TATA Group); Kumar Mangalam Birla (Chairman, Aditya Birla Group); Azim Premji (Chairman, Wipro); Amit Kalyani (Executive Director, Bharat Forge); Rajan Bharti Mittal (Vice Chairman, Bharti Enterprises); Y C Deveshwar (Chairman, ITC) all these business tycoons flaunted the idea of Mr. Narendra Modi in their respective speeches. While some of them focused more towards job generation others talked about much popular, India's hectic corporate policies. All showed a thumbs UP for the "MAKE IN INDIA" campaign, and explained how this will improve the economy of the country, in their own way.

Now I will tell you, what this "MAKE IN INDIA" campaign all about? And what are the steps taken by the government to increase  improve the condition of the Indian Economy?

What is "Make In India"?
"MAKE IN INDIA" is a new national program, designed to transform India into a manufacturing hub. And encouraging domestic & foreign investors to invest in various sectors of the Indian Economy showcasing the importance of these sectors and their bright future.

Sectors covered
There are 25 major sectors covered in this campaign, which almost cover the entire Indian Economy, these are:
Automobiles, Aviation, Chemicals, IT & BPM, Pharmaceuticals, Construction, Defense manufacturing, Electrical machinery, Food processing, Textiles and Garments, Ports, Leather, Media and Entertainment, Wellness, Mining, Tourism and Hospitality, Railways, Automobile components, Renewable energy, Bio-technology, Space, Thermal power, Roads and Highways. 


Steps Taken by the Government: 
1. Invest India cell: It is an investor facilitation cell, set up by the government for guiding foreign investors on all aspects of regulatory and policy issues and to assist them in obtaining regulatory clearances. The factual data that potential investors need for each sector have been provided in the brochures.

2. Single Window for all Clearances: All central government, state government and municipal services are being integrated with an e-Biz single window online portal. The ministry of home affairs have been asked to give all security clearances to investment proposals within 3 months.

3. Single Window for business queries: A dedicated cell has been created to answer queries through a newly created web portal (http://www.makeinindia.com). The support team of the cell would answer specific queries within 72 hours.

4. Business Approach: Cell will follow a real time business approach to track visitors for their geographical location, interest and real time user behaviour. Subsequent visits will be customised for the visitor, based on the information collected. Visitors registered on the website or raising queries will be followed up with relevant information and newsletter.

5. Easing policies and laws: The governmnt is planning to ease the labour laws or formulate an entirely new law by December to ease the functioning. Also, a vast number of defence items have been de-licensed and  the validity of industrial license has been extended to three years.

Hence, The "Make In India" campaign can be very much realistic and fruitful. Although, I am still not convinced with the Idea of foreign investors, investing in India. I don't think that it would be easy to catch there attention just through a portal, which flaunting everything good about the Indian Economic Sectors. Rather the reality is entirely different.

But Yes, the campaign can be very useful towards motivating the youth and the corporate club of India that now the Indian government is not a hindrance in their way, rather it is a facilitator. Also, it will surely create jobs and at least provide good products to India, so that it will be easier for the service sector to bloom.

Kya Rooth Gayi Hai Shayari Mujhse !! ( क्या रूठ गयी है शायरी मुझसे !! )

Wrote It Long Time Ago ....



Sochta hun ki, kya rooth gayi hai shayari mujhse ... 
Zindagi ki is daud me, kya choot gayi hai shayari mujhse ...

Mohabbat me ab vo baat naa rahi ...
In hasinao ki koi zaat naa rahi ...
Jise mehsus karke dil ro padta tha,
Ab fizaaon me vo nami nahi, vo barsaat naa rahi ...

Kabhi din bhar soya karta tha darkathon ki chaanv me...
Ab bediyan daal di hain waqt ne paanv me ...
Haar ke dar se kabhi juaan nahi khela,
Aaj sab kuch laga diya maine ek hi daanv me ...


Log kahte hain mai khud nahi likhta,
Haan ye shayari maine uski nigaahon se churayi hai ...

Apne andaaz se logon ke mijaaz badal dena,
Haan ye madhoshi maine hawaon se churayi hai ...

Meri is aawargi ko tum kuch palon me kya jaanoge,
ye shaksiyat maine sadiyon me banayi hai ...

Vo sab AKASH ko nahi "romeo" ko chahte hain,
maine gazalen jis jis ko sunayi hai ...


Par ab tut raha hai aashiyana mera ...
Kam pad gaya hai khazana mera ...
Jise sambhalte sambhalte mai khud badnaam hua,
Aakhir tha hi kab vo zamana mera ...

Tabhi sochta hun ki, kya rooth gayi hai shayari mujhse ...
Zindagi ki is daud me, kya choot gayi hai shayari mujhse ...

"romeo"

..............................................................................................

सोचता हूँ की, क्या रूठ गयी है शायरी मुझसे ... 
ज़िंदगी की इस दौड़ मे, क्या छूट गयी है शायरी मुझसे ...

मोहब्बत मे अब वो बात ना रही ...
इन हसीनाओं की कोई ज़ात ना रही ...
जिसे महसूस करके दिल रो पड़ता था,
अब फ़िज़ाओं मे वो नमी नही, वो बरसात ना रही ...

कभी दिन भर सोया करता था दरख़्तों की छाँव में ...
अब बेड़ियाँ डाल दी हैं वक़्त ने पाँव में ...
हार के डर से कभी जुआँ नहीं खेला,
आज सब कुछ लगा दिया मैने एक ही दाँव में ...


लोग कहते हैं मै खुद नही लिखता,
हाँ ये शायरी मैने उसकी निगाहों से चुराई है ...

अपने अंदाज़ से लोगों के मिजाज़ बदल देना,
हाँ ये मदहोशी मैने हवाओं से चुराई है ...

मेरी इस आवारगी को तुम कुछ पलों मे क्या जानोगे,
ये शक्सियत मैने सदियों मे बनाई है ...

वो सब आकाश को नही "romeo" को चाहते हैं,
मैने गज़लें जिस जिस को सुनाई है ...


पर अब टूट रहा है आशियाना मेरा ...
कम पड़ गया है ख़ज़ाना मेरा ...
जिसे संभालते संभालते मै खुद बदनाम हुआ,
आख़िर था ही कब वो ज़माना मेरा ...

तभी सोचता हूँ कि, क्या रूठ गयी है शायरी मुझसे ...
ज़िंदगी की इस दौड़ मे, क्या छूट गयी है शायरी मुझसे ...

Shayari #009 ( शायरी #009 )



Usne hothon me apne, sharab chupa rakhi hai ...
Usne kaajal me apne, vo raat chupa rakhi hai ...

Jo sawal puche kuch, uski adaon pe humne,
To danto tale usne ek muskaan chupa rakhi hai...

Kam se kam jalti rahi ye, vo jab tak kareeb thi,
in kamzor shammaon ne ek shaam chupa rakhi hai ...

Aur bikhar gayi masumiyat raat dhalte dhalte,
bistar ki in silwaton ne ek pechaan chupa rakhi hai ...

"romeo"

.........................................................................................

उसने होठों में अपने, शराब छुपा रखी है ...
उसने काजल मे अपने, वो रात छुपा रखी है ...

जो सवाल पूछे कुछ, उसकी अदाओं पे हमने,
तो दाँतो तले उसने एक मुस्कान छुपा रखी है...

कम से कम जलती रही ये, वो जब तक करीब थी,
इन कमज़ोर शम्माओं ने एक शाम छुपा रखी है ...

और बिखर गयी मासूमियत रात ढलते ढलते,
बिस्तर की इन सिलवटों ने एक पचान छुपा रखी है ...

"romeo"

Shayari #008 ( शायरी #008 )

Itane majbur ho gaye hum waqt ke aage,
Ki hame bachpana chodd jawani apnani padi ...

Is kadr sukh gayi thi ye nigahen haste haste,
Ki hame khuda se kah, baarish karvani padi ...

Aisi bhi kya deewanagi us chaand ki "romeo",
ki tujhe diwali chodd, Eid manani padi ...

MASHALLAH ! kya jach raha tha uspe surkh libaas vo,
ki bhare baazar use rok kar chunari pahnani padi ...

Zamane ki niyat ki kya safai dete use,
hame ek nayi kahani samjhani padi ...

Vo ishq samajh baithi meri is gustaakhi ko,
hum shayar ban gaye, aur sari kitaaben jalani padi ...

zamana kahne laga deewana hame, 
to hame bachpana chodd jawani apnani padi ...

"romeo"

.............................................................................................

इतने मजबूर हो गये हम वक़्त के आगे,
कि हमे बचपना छोड़ जवानी अपनानी पड़ी ...

इस कद्र सूख गयी थीं ये निगाहें हस्ते - हस्ते,
कि हमे खुदा से कह, बारिश करवानी पड़ी ...

ऐसी भी क्या दीवानगी उस चाँद की "romeo",
कि तुझे दिवाली छोड़, ईद मनानी पड़ी ...

माशाल्लाह ! क्या जच रहा था उसपे सुर्ख लिबास वो,
कि भरे बाज़ार उसे रोक कर चुनरी पहनानी पड़ी ...

ज़माने की नीयत की क्या सफाई देते उसे,
हमे एक नयी कहानी समझानी पड़ी ...

वो इश्क़ समझ बैठे मेरी इस गुस्ताख़ी को,
हम शायर बन गये, और सारी किताबें जलानी पड़ी ...

ज़माना कहने लगा दीवाना हमे, 
तो हमे बचपाना छोड़ जवानी अपनानी पड़ी ...

Shayari #007 (शायरी #007)




Bina mausam ki baarish me, mai bheega bahut hoon ... 
Yun hi badnaam kar rakha hai, mai to seedha  bahut hoon... !! 

Naa jaane kyun dekhti rahi mere labon ko vo saari shaam,
fir achanak, paas aa ke kahti hai, "mai teekha bahut hoon " ...

Yaaron ! Sab kuch haar chuka hoon, mai uski mohabbat me,
vo fir bhi, zamane se kahti hai mai jeeta bahut hoon ... 

Aur yu to,aaj tak naa pahunchi koi sharaab in labon tak,
naadan meri gazalen padh ke kahti hai, mai peeta bahut hoon ...

"romeo"

........................................................................................................

बिना मौसम की बारिश में, मै भीगा बहुत हूँ ... 
यूँ ही बदनाम कर रखा है, मै तो सीधा  बहुत हूँ ...

ना जाने क्यूँ देखती रही मेरे लबों को वो सारी शाम,
फिर अचानक, पास आ के कहती है, "मै तीखा बहुत हूँ " ... 

यारों ! सब कुछ हार चुका हूँ, मै उसकी मौहब्बत में,
वो फिर भी, ज़माने से कहती है मै जीता बहुत हूँ ...

और यूँ तो, आज तक ना पहुँची कोई शराब इन लबों तक,
नादान मेरी ग़ज़लें पढ़ के कहती है, मई पीता बहुत हूँ ...

"romeo"
