Avoid Manufacturing Fetish: Raghuram Rajan's Message As He Unveils The Book 'Breaking The Mould'

[@VinamarSingla]

For large Country like India it is foolish to think that we can develop only by service sector. Only rich people will benefit by that for poverty elimination we need manufacturing sector to grow exponentially.

[@Chintan720]

No one’s thinking “we have to be like china” other than him

[@rahulsureshan8237]

I don't think the govt needs to get invested in service sector that much as the investment size and barriers can be easily handled by private sector. If manufacturing in India is inefficient it makes sense to focus on critical products like semi conductors and high tech products which are sensitive for us during a war situation instead of being dependent on China. The goal should be to clear out the imbalance between the share of high value manufacturing and services sector in our economy.

[@chandanprakash2002]

This channel is an American backed channel. The last thing they want is modi govt in power. So don't equate this channel with other godi channels.

[@eklavyavyom]

Well this would have worked in a normal country. Once we performed overbreeding and overpopulating there is no way you can employ all these people in service sector which produces much less jobs than manufacturing. So, focusing only on service sector will result in a lot of people still remaining unemployed. So, this is a matter of necessity.

If we do manufacture it will automatically allow more service companies to grow to india. We will be wasting money on more education as they will leave india and work outside like in Europe and usa.

[@aseshdeb]

From low value added to High value added !!! ….. there shouldn’t be any apparent issues I guess. Dump PLI and rechannelise that fund etc… very good. But the moment that’s done….theoretically, then these same set of Gyan givers will jump up and write a few more books on how the Policymakers are overlooking the job creation capabilities of those low value added sectors and instead aping the Developed Countries’ Economic models…And the same old hash about free speech, giving space to contrarians. Fortunately, the migratory birds do not spend much time in the warmer pastures, and soon flock back to their secular Nests, where apparently there’re no or less takers for their wisdom.

[@ssb9054]

@@VmlucyBDaGV2aQ I have been a long time follower of Mr. Rajan, his insights earlier intrigued me, but recently he has gone off the rails, any econ grad will tell you since India's independence we have never experienced a manufacturing boom, unlike agri and the service sector. Interestingly, if you go back 5 odd years you will hear him say the exact opposite of what he is saying today. Hope I have made my valid criticisms clear enough.

[@VmlucyBDaGV2aQ]

Why do you think he is wrong. Instead of subsidising to create low paying jobs he is suggesting to create high skilled jobs that add more value. He is not suggesting to avoid manufacturing completely.

[@ssb9054]

@@VmlucyBDaGV2aQ This is where the ridiculousness of his recent statements lie, anyone with an iota of common sense let alone economic degree, understands one cannot become a high end manufacturer overnight, it takes decades of gradual progess to get there, and is a kind of step by step process, which every high end manufacturing powerhouse like the Swiss , Germany , Japan went through. I am pretty sure he knows about this, but chooses to misguide people anyway, like a politician.

[@suhasghaskadvi]

India has vast population with highly skilled workers as well as low or no skilled workers. We need all kinds of investments high tech, low tech, manufacturing and services as well. We should not think manufacturing as just low level value added activity we should also think how much employment it will generate for unemployed youths.

[@APatel-hl9ng]

This is the same genius who complains about jobless growth in India. Well why are you complaining about government creating jobs? Let’s create jobs on entire curve so we are not dependent on any country. World is realizing what havoc their dependency on chip manufacturing in Taiwan created. Manufacturing locally also helps with bridging trade and current account deficit which in turn helps with stable Rupee. I used to respect Raghuram Rajan a lot. However, either he is speaking on behalf of congress or plain wrong. Foreign institutions have a tendency to promote their agenda by rewarding and awarding academicians that promote their vested interest.

[@shilpa3032]

What will service do if their clients are western countries . We want service to work in india.

Raghuram Rajan correctly said it. My father was Gandhian freedom fighter, writer. Went to jails under the British. Mother was not educated. We grew up with nothing. Period. My brother got scholarship to "USSR" I came to USA and settled. More than 4 million Indians like me are here. All have professional degrees, earning good.

The best laid plans can go to dust if there is little or no action. I feel the states are just shying away from the action. This is a cultural thing (the states were laid back even in the 80s and 90s under non-BJP center). Also its easy to write a book on something, technical experts do know but conveniently ignore the political aspect to rolling out something.

[@rishabh8355]

Hearing this no-sayers make me wonder who takes them seriously. Companies won't directly come to India just because they are leaving China, there are countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh which can provide a base for manufacturing - we need to make use of our GDP strength to help build manufacturing industry - not to forget the knowledge transfer and parallel ecosystem of similar products that can be produced to served local population. India has already been doing well in services sector but we need to create products to be manufactured to be not bottlenecked if an unfortunate global scenario is created- case in point oil and gas dependency- we need renewable energy creation to avoid dependency on OPEC and West.

So we should focus on human resources, spend money teach people and send them abroad for job.😂 When we bait those mnc (where these educated people would have gone anyways) to come onshore they ask why are they focusing on manufacturing. If we focus on manufacturing our services sector also get bigger base to serve these manufacturing work.😅

[@viveknegi7006]

We are not competing with China on manufacturering, if we capture only 8-10 percentage of wrold manufacturing then still India can grow more than China. Reason: As china is big in manufacturing, we are in service sector. We just need additional force to move ahead faster!!

[@dicky-duck6632]

your so called service sectors will soon be replaced by AI in US

[@AM_here]

Great pushback Latha, you politely saw through their hidden agenda. Seems,one, he wants Indian Govt to spend public money on making high end coders, who can then be airlifted out of India by West and value taken out of India’s economy. Second, they want less manufacturing to be moved out of China to India. India needs to be a manufacturing country, small and large, as All Developed countries once were. They seem to want strings of Indian service industry to be in the hands of their West handlers. India has 42% agricultural workers who cannot code for Tesla or Apple, nor their 5 generations, but need small manufacturing jobs.

Good theories 👍. One must agree on the budget allocation requirements in education and research. Hopefully Govt will focus in these areas as well. We as a democratic nation, the politicians have a tendency to give more attention in the near future achievements rather than very long term prospects in an effort to show the people quick results. All the past Govt have failed us with license raj and dynestic politics. We missed many opportunities in the past.

Same with chinese compony like byd and many more will be leading auto industries but they started with manufacturing now they will be leading the high end market and they have expertise in battery production .

I agree with him on Protectionism, but disagree with him on other stuff. Protectionism is always bad (unless there are some Supply chain security risk). Other than that, Import Duety should be 0% on all stuff. But I disagree with him on manufacturing. Yeah, we should try to produce such things which has high value addition. (like Chip design, Patents, or even other services like programming etc) But the problem is, not everyone is skilled enough to work on such Induistries. There are huge amount of surplus labour which work in Agriculture sector. If we could pull that labour and employ them into let say Drug Research, that would have been great. But we can't because they are not skilled enough. So for them Manufacturing job even thou is low value addition is greater than what they can earn out of Agriculture. Yes, in next generation if we could employ most of the people in High value addition that would be great. But for medium term there is a need for some manufacturing jobs for pulling surplus labour from Agriculture sector.
