Indian economy can be bolstered in simple ways but need to work aggressively on this 1. We need Indian owned Retail chains in Europe that employees locals but sources products from India . E.g Primark sources from Bangladesh, Indonesia but hardly from India Focus here should be on Textiles, Stationery items, electronics goods, Home decor #GoodQuality #Affordable 1.a. Need quality standards like TÜV for export products 2. Currently sourcing products from India, shipping is a very slow process 3. World has moved to On-Demand purchase, which needs quick international shipping and infrastructure for reseller platforms like Alibaba 4. Attract investment from NRIs and OCI 5. This is long-term but needs to improve management education in India, most Management colleges are mediocre. Need better education by blending Innovation and Entrepreneurship

law and order and labour militancy has to be curbed or completely stopped. Any industry requires a stable environment. Thats why states like Maha, Guj, TN are becoming manufacturing hubs.

Chinese President repeatedly expressed interest in investing for manufacturing industries in West Bengal but Modi wanted same to Gujarat. Answer lies there ...Modi is promoting his narrow minded mind set. Manufacturing industries are impossible without help of China or USA. Modi failed in both front in mobilization of capital for manufacturing industry. Though he is trying his best to help his Gujju lobby which has given money to control RSS and then BJP party. Now both private and public sectors are left with no money for reinvestment to upgrade their technology.

That is why people like me have to leave the state to get a job. People wonder why there is so much violence during elections in WB, well if you can't give young people jobs and give them bhata of meagre means of course people will fight to get the position of power. If you are in power you can then bully whatever developmental works is done by the central govt, be it through labour union or tolabazi. The constant infighting in TMC is a great example of this culture.
