Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan Talks About His New Book 'Breaking The Mould' | CNBC TV18

Once I thought these guys were legends. But now I have so many counter arguments for theirs. India is going on the right path. I don't think their view is better.

You forget automation and robotics rise in industries of the future. Manufacturing will not give that many jobs as it used to give

@@narayansingh9407 10 to 20 PPL per lakh will get will higher salary if we focus on that. More than 40k ppl will atleast get middle income jobs if we focus on manufacturing. No country has ever become developed without manufacturing and directly doing services.

We must have to focus on manufacturing. Because to steal manufacturing from us one should invest a lot of money. That may not be the case with IT etc.

[@aryansingh-ne9je]

a lot of money for whom? while the wages remain stagnant? hell even the country doesn't reap benefits out of it!

How can Modi Bhakth can understand English and digest the Argument of Rajan? lol..

[@joshua_ch]

I get the philosophical argument he is making on the role of subsidies and possible cronyism but he needs to demonstrate that PLIs as currently designed are doing that or will be extended indefinitely under corporate pressure etc. For the country to produce its own Honda or Tesla doesn't happen just by skilling people when you are a 2k$ per capita economy. If you train a lot of people in professional skills and the economy isn't sophisticated enough to absorb them, you will just end up exporting people to US,UK,Australia etc. This is why you need a Micron, the skilled electronics engineers will get jobs, more kids will aspire to work in that area and in future more innovation can be done by them and move up the value chain.

[@0609Bhuwan]

100% correct... Basically they are promoting continued imports from state subsidized surplus manufacturing capacity built by China AND creation of cheap high quality labour for western companies through Indian taxpayer funded higher education institutions.... How is tax payer funding of IITs different from PLI ?? At least PLI creates local jobs and downstream ancillary SMEs ..IITs only produce engineers that migrate to Silicon Valley

[@Manikanta-hh7wp]

EV companies are already pushing for extension of Subsidies. Yes, Every Manufacturer will ask to extend PLI schemes. The companies which are closer to govt will get extension.

[@joshua_ch]

@@Manikanta-hh7wp Last i checked FAME subsidies were not part of PLI. That is a different program to do with transitioning to EVs. There is one PLI for batteries but it hasn't been rolled out to industry yet. PS : I just googled and FAME subsidies have already been reduced from 40% to 15%. So, even for that program the subsidies have already been reduced.

[@jayateerthadur2005]

May be there is merit in what Raghuram is saying and it does not require Raghuram to say what he said in his opening remarks. However Point is high level value adders such as coders for TESLA could be few hundreds whose families would benefit with prosperity however manufacturing would benefit atleast lakhs of families. And from those lakhs of families few coders would emerge. If manufacturing is not started in big scale in India benefits of economy would bypass lower rungs of society and there would be more jobless growth which is detrimental to Indian societies at large ...

Hope you get the point, he explicitly says, AND everyone else says too, that, India is viewed as a center of CHEAP labour, this is what he is trying to avoid. Government would like to enable manufacturing as they would like the middle-income to earn and SUSTAIN not LIVE. It needs a broader view in order to understand what views he has.

[@letsfight9472]

He is fanatic(not fantastic) as per his example. Foxxcon and Apple comparison is not nesscary as both company has different aim. No country ever skipped manufacturing and become great power. And manufacturing mostly serve to poor and lower middle class most. This maintain proper distribution of income in lower income of society. Such arguments make him dumb.

[@dicky-duck6632]

His point is, if you're poor and your teeth aren't good enough to eat chicken legs with bones, then just go for chicken breast where every bite is just meat. After all, chicken breast has more protein and less fat than chicken legs，so it's better for a poor person

[@oldschool4714]

Covid 19 has proved the need for manufacturing in India. Period. Specially healthcare products,smartphones, automobiles etc. A huge amount of api for medicine still comes from china. Every other product u see has some sort of connection with "made in China." Remember in this time of desvacti n all, import from chine even after that little standoff along the border has increased a lot! Being a service oriented nation, has exposed India during Covid n we all saw the govt failed to cope up with it during that deadly 2nd wave. Neither of the two can be sacrificed. Services is imp. What is more worrying is that this govt is turning India into a debt laden nation. Huge amount of pli has been given n those loans are not getting repaid. People are turning poorer while top 3 4 businessmen have been allowed to take gigantic loans from govt banks to build infra. Cost of housing, cars are gettimg higher n hence loan emi. Food prices petrol diesel n gas prices are at very high level n it is staying there. People are taking loan either from pli, mudra, personal loan from nbfcs to sustain. So the top, middle n low all income stratas are gettimg into loan trap. N when this bubble bursts in near future, what may happen to the economy is a grave concern imo.

No company wants to pay to workforce that goes to strikes, paid leaves etc. You need to consider automation and I am afraid Indian companies won't be behind in this game.

[@Zireael1706]

The more manufacturing sectors are there in India, more will be the choices for a common man to be an employee of. This would increase the free market economy and bring competitiveness in the market at higher levels too. Currently with such a large number of skilled yet unemployed people in India, corporates can offer very low salaries because there is always someone to replace the job of a low working employee. This is what needs to be removed which is exactly what the Modi government is trying to do, and succeeding quite well. I know that you know this though and the only reason you have written this is because you are the likes of Raghuram who want to break India. A part of the extreme leftist cult. Still at least some might not get brainwashed by your sheer stupidity in the guise of sophistication, just like the likes of Raghuram.
