Set-up a number of industries. Increase exports all over the world. That will give us the kind of growth that Germany received.
But whom you'll export.
We are setting up industries very fast but exports are falling because economies of importers isn't good condition.
Our GDP per capita growth is substantially high and improvement rate of HDI, poverty ratio and other indexes is enough.
@HariPrasada-1 seems to be in hurry otherwise, India will surely be a better place in due course of time.

for the first part i will stress on is digitization of rural/villages of India ,that is digital India impact on agricultural sector since it is the main source of livelihood in villages and rural areas.

The occupational structure of India is divided into “agricultural sector” and the “manufacturing sector” and the “service sector”.
India is predominantly an agricultural economy and hence it requires strongest protection and development of its “agricultural resources”.

The major challenges to “Agriculture Sector in India” are:
1. Insufficient agricultural infrastructure and support facilities,
2.Insufficient institutional capacity to deliver farmers specific services,
3. Lack of awareness regarding suitable agricultural methods among the farmers,
4.Agricultural content development and its up-gradations,
5. Inadequate use of Public-Private Partnerships in India,
6. Lack of “Common Platforms” for the farmers in India,
7. Absence of a powerful and empowered “Agricultural Think-Tank” in India,
8. Insufficient use of ICT for agricultural purposes, etc.




Some of the benefits of ICT (information and communication technologies) aka digitization for the improvement and strengthening of agriculture sector in India are:
1.Timely information on weather forecasts and calamities,
2.Better and spontaneous agricultural practices,
3.Better marketing exposure and pricing,
4.Reduction of agricultural risks and enhanced incomes,
5.Better awareness and information,
6.Improved networking and communication,
7. Facility of online trading and e-commerce,
8.Better representation at various forums, authorities and platform,
etc.

basically we are talking about farmers using technologies like gps and remote sensing systems and also geo-imaging services like google earth to obtain information related to crop failure patterns, assessment of drought patters, and impact on crop cover due to pests so as to use it to improve farming techniques.

Using internet and other electronic forms of communication, farmers can be alerted about the weather and storms or heath waves if any before hand so that they can prepare themselves better.
Agriculture can greatly benefit from first-rate and online extension services, weather information, advice, and crop and input prices.This will also correct the unequal relationship between small farmers and the middle-men who buy their produce.

modern training and practices, in conjunction with entrepreneurship and digital marketing, can transform the rural economy through rural production for all-India (even global) markets, while creating rural employment.


some innovations which hopefully will lead the way and encourage more participation

1.cropin technology solutions
A farming technology solutions startup founded by a Bangalore software engineer, it provides agribusinesses the technology and expertise to create a smarter and safer food supply for consumers around the world.

CropIn offers information on a cloud-based platform, integrated with a mobile app for Android. Called Smart Farms, it allows large food companies to track the growth of crops on farms around the country with details about what the crop is and the conditions it is grown in to help companies remotely monitor farms, interact with farmers and make every crop transparent and traceable. It also aids farmers in adopting global agricultural practices and improves productivity by offering productivity insights and harvest forecasts.

2.FrontalRain technologies
The Bangalore-based agri-tech startup seeks to deliver affordable advanced technology solutions for emerging companies and take technology to remote corners of the country.

The company’s offering Rain+, according to their website, is a comprehensive suite of products on the cloud for food and agribusinesses. Rain+ can help companies at every stage of the value chain starting from growing, processing, logistics, wholesale trade, retail trade and exports. This technology, accessible through desktop, tablet and mobile devices, is used by companies dealing with commodities like spices, herbs, basmati rice, seeds, animal feed, sea food, dairy and edible oil.

3.Agrostar
A Pune-based ‘direct to farmer’ m-commerce platform, Agrostar strives to provide quality agro inputs at the farmers’ doorstep.

AgroStar enables farmers to procure a range of agricultural goods such as seeds, crop nutrition, crop protection and agri-hardware products by simply giving a missed call on the company’s 1800 number or through their mobile app to eliminate unavailability of products, substandard products, duplication and adulteration.

4.Ekgaon
A Gujarat-based venture started in 2001, Ekgaon Technologies is an IT based network integrator that provides a technology platform and offers a range of services to farmers in rural areas including financial, agricultural inputs and government assistance.

Financial: A mobile phone enabled financial services delivery platform, it provides information on micro-finance institutions and banks for delivery of door-step services such as credit, savings, remittance, insurance, investment and mortgage.
Agricultural: Offered in Hindi, Gujarati and Tamil languages, the system uses mobile, voice recognition, interactive voice response system (IVRS) and web technologies to provide information on weather, commodity market prices, soil nutrient management and crop management.
Citizen: The web and mobile applications help citizens monitor the delivery of government programmes and services entitled to them.

Modi government has taken the initiative to the setting up of an Online National Agriculture Trading market to help farmers of India and jump start the agricultural sector . but this will take time however proper public, government and private participation and collaboration will surely make it successful.

and the fun part is this

as i already said The occupational structure of India is divided into “agricultural sector” and the “manufacturing sector” and the “service sector”.

this digitization initiative for the agricultural sector will boost both the service sector and the manufacturing sector also (if the agricultural sector takes off ) . that is we will be simply tapping into our core strengths and expertise to strengthen our agricultural base.

plus we can export the technical know-how and services globally.

and on the contrary it can be said you are being too complacent.:)

India will surely be in a better place due to people who continuously create new opportunities for themselves and their country and also to a certain extent may be because some people are in a big hurry to do so.
works both way doesn't it. :)

another sector is the transport sector and related infra which will play a great role in boosting economic development in India.
these include railways roads ports airports and inland waterways.

A well-knit and coordinated system of transport plays an important role in the sustained economic growth of a country. Transport routes are the basic economic arteries of the country. Transport system is regarded as the controller of the national economy and provides a very important link between production and consumption. The amount of traffic moving in a country is a measure of its progress.


transport improvements impact on economic growth

Efficient transport is a critical component of economic development.
Transport availability affects national development patterns and can be a boost or a barrier to economic growth of a nation.

Transport’s contribution to economic development includes the following:
Network/connectivity improves i.e linking more locations increases exponentially the value and effectiveness of transport.

Performance improvement through reduction of cost and time for existing freight movements leads to increased transport system contribution to economic growth of the nation.

Reliability leads to improved time performance and reduces loss and damage, thus reducing financial wastage.
Market size increases and access to wider markets adds to economies of scale in production, distribution, and consumption, thereby increasing economic growth of the country.

Productivity increases manifold as transport increases productivity gained from access to a larger and more diverse base of inputs such as raw materials, parts, energy, and labor, and broader markets for more diverse outputs

Because of its intensive use of infrastructure the transport sector is an important component of the economy and a common tool used for development.


economic impacts of a good transportation infrastructure

A relation between the quantity and quality of transport infrastructure and the level of economic development is apparent.
High density transport infrastructure and highly connected networks are commonly associated with high levels of development. When transport systems are efficient, they provide economic and social opportunities and benefits that result in positive multipliers effects such as
1.better accessibility to markets,
2.employment
3.and additional investments.

When transport systems are deficient in terms of capacity or reliability, they can have an economic cost such as reduced or missed opportunities and lower quality of life.

Major investments by both the public and private sectors in the coming years on infrastructure, technology upgrades, and expansion of land, sea and airport facilities, and a dedicated logistics corridor in the rail network are likely to strengthen the Indian logistics/transport infrastructure.

The existing multi layered tax system is contributing to significant delays in the road transportation sector, and proposed implementation of GST is likely to simplify tax structure and lower logistics costs.

let us take the example of Indian railways freight system



Freight trains, for example, charge much higher rates, yet they travel at half the speed of passenger trains, for which fares remain low. LOLZZ

if the Indian railway freight complex is over hauled then manufacturers stand to be the biggest winners in the medium to long term. According to the World Bank, reducing transportation costs by 20% to 30% could boost profit in key manufacturing sectors by 2% to 3%, In addition, the World Bank notes that a mere 0.5% decrease in logistics costs could result in a 2% increase in trade and 40% increase in the range of exported products.

Spending on rail infrastructure would create demand for commodities, such as iron and steel, as well as services such as engineering and construction. Rail freight improvements would boost logistical efficiency, while lowering costs, which could help cut prices for raw materials. Other added benefits: Passenger rail volumes could increase as trains remain a cheaper, safer and faster mode of long-distance travel, compared to roads, improving regional mobility, boosting tourism, while reducing road congestion.


socioeconomic benefits of a developed and efficient transportation system

another benefit is the increase in LSP (logistics service providers) growth due to high costs of maintaining in-house logistic activities, rising complexity in supply chains due to growth in global sourcing and distribution practices, increasing orientation of manufacturing industries to focus on core competencies, and growth in online retailing. Along with the growth drivers, improving weak transport infrastructure, connectivity and distribution networks, developing specialty storage facilities, bringing in uniform regulations, and removal of administrative hurdles to prevent loss of time to deliver across borders will usher in more employment generation and growth in secondary/support services.



i have touched the tip of the iceberg only
there is more to it

another sector is the semiconductor industry.



The Indian semiconductor industry offers high growth potential areas as the industries which source semiconductors as inputs are themselves witnessing high demand. The end-use industries such as mobile devices, telecommunication equipment, information technology, office automation (IT & OA), industrial machinery, automobiles and several other industries have applications for computing in some form or other and thereby necessarily have growing demand for semiconductors.

for the high tech gadgets available today requires higher power than reforms designing of semiconductor part of the device. Making a gadget trendy, resizes the chip inside. To address these challenges, existing manufacturing infrastructure is required to be upgraded and new full-flashed manufacturing is required in local Indian market. The wearable & smart electronics trend at our footstep future will influence entire semiconductor industry. Global semiconductor industry will be driven largely by macroeconomic development and technological advances.



Global semiconductor industry is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.3% over the next five years and reach an estimated $394 billion in 2017. India industry can wholly cater this demand in all aspects of intelligence, Man-power, raw material and natural resources and thus has a great potential to evolve as a semiconductor manufacturing hub. The roadmap will require the country to makes necessary investments in infrastructure and education.

According to the India Electronics & Semiconductor Association, the Indian Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) market will grow from US$ 76 billion in 2013 to US$ 400 billion by 2020. Consumption of semiconductors, in the meantime, has also steadily climbed. According to a report by NOVONOUS, the semiconductor industry is estimated to grow from US$ 10.02 billion in 2013 to US$ 52.58 billion in 2020 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26.72 per cent.

There is a need to boost the electronic design and manufacturing in India, promote product development, nurture startups and introduce a level playing field at different points in the entire electronic ecosystem. These efforts will in turn help foster growth. All these would require rigorous efforts from various stakeholders involved in the entire ecosystem and continuous encouragement from the government is needed to pull investors to make to large investments. Also, as per Government of India the bill of Import of electronics items in India will exceed that of petroleum by 2020, this factor clearly illustrates the significance of Indian semiconductor fabrication facilities.



Setting-up a Semiconductor facility in India.
A Long Term Plan – As Foundry setup is highly Capital intensive, it must be supported with a solid long term plan and financial backing. This backing is required from the entrepreneur & the government both.

Fiscal Sustenance – In text of Indian Government as tax holiday, subsidy, zero duty, financial investment etc. will play an important role in promoting the Fab along with the semiconductor industry in India; this will put further pressure on already large Fiscal Deficit. A stubborn financial system is required to bought in picture.

Support Infrastructure – This is a very important aspect which needs to be looked at for smooth running of the Fab. A world class, sustainable infrastructure, as required by a modern Fab be provided, with swift transportation, large quantity of pure water, uninterrupted electricity, communication, pollutant free environment etc.

Government Policy – This is one of the most important factors for such a massive step to be taken. The policy (that includes all kinds of subsidies, which may be tapered down in future with due conditional clauses) taken up now must be valid and stable for at least 10 to 15 years irrespective of which party is in power.


Obstacles & Challenges.


1.Huge Investments involved
2.Semiconductor Fabrication is a volume production facility right from the starting.
3.Semiconductor Fabrication will require cheap but skilled labor.
4.Very High end world –class machinery involved.
5.Requirement of very specific raw materials.
6.Uncertain Indian market
7.Disposable of Hazardous Waste
8.Infrastructure Requirement
9.Lack of education in Indian on Advanced semiconductor manufacturing



Simmtronics Semiconductors Ltd one of the largest tablet PC manufacturer in India

The Government of India expects investment proposals in electronics manufacturing to increase two times in the two years to 2017-18, giving a push to the government's 'Make in India' initiative. Of the 54 proposals received, the Centre has approved 30 requests entailing investments of Rs 6,000 crore (US$ 900 million), while 24 are in an advanced stage.

The Government of India has allowed 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) under the automatic route in Electronics Systems Design & Manufacturing sector. According to the data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the electronics sector attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth US$ 1.53 billion between April 2000 and September 2015.

Some of the notable developments in this sector are as follows:

  1. Infineon Technologies, a German semiconductor firm has partnered with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to impart training to youth on semiconductor or chip technology, aimed at boosting the electronic manufacturing ecosystem in India.
  2. US-based semiconductor company Freescale which has R&D facility in India, said that it is enabling its partners to bring smart products to facilitate the government's Rs 1.13 trillion (US$ 16.95 billion) Digital India initiative.
  3. Cyient Ltd has announced that it is acquiring a majority stake in Rangsons Electronics Pvt. Ltd, a Mysuru-based electronics system design and manufacturing (ESDM) services company. Cyient has signed an agreement to acquire a 74 per cent equity stake in Rangsons Electronics in an all-cash transaction.
  4. Aricent, a US-based product engineering firm has acquired Bengaluru-based chip design services company SmartPlay for Rs 1,100 crore (US$ 170 million), making it one of the biggest acquisitions in the semiconductor space in India
  5. Altran Technologies SA, a French technology consulting firm, has agreed to acquire SiConTech, a Bengaluru-based company that designs semiconductor chips, making it the first deal in the semiconductor space wherein a foreign multinational corporation has acquired an Indian start-up.
  6. Invecas Technologies Pvt. Ltd, a startup working on outsourced chip design plans to invest US$15-20 million over the next couple of years in setting up design centers in Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
  7. IESA has signed a MoU with Singapore Semiconductor Industry Association (SSIA) to establish and develop trade and technical cooperation between the electronics and semiconductor industries of both the countries.
  8. India Electronics & Semiconductor Association (IESA), the premier trade body representing the Indian Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) industry has announced a SPEED UP and SCALE UP of its talent development initiative. This will be implemented through the Centre of Excellence with Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) and RV-VLSI Design Center to build the talent pipeline in the ESDM space.
  9. Gujarat is expected to have its first semiconductor wafer fabrication manufacturing facility by late 2017 in Prantij of Sabarkantha district. The facility, which will be set up by Hindustan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (HSMC), will employ over 25,000 people including 4,000 direct employees. HSMC along with ST Microelectronics (France/Italy) and Silterra (Malaysia) will set up two manufacturing units each with capacity of producing 20,000 wafers per month.

Government Initiatives

The electronic system design and manufacturing (ESDM) industry will benefit from the government's “Make in India” campaign and is projected to see investment proposals worth Rs 10,000 crore (US$ 1.5 billion) over the next two years, according to the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), an industry body.

The Government of India has taken several steps to boost domestic production of electronic items and reduce dependence on imports. Some of these steps include imposition of basic customs duty on certain items falling outside the purview of IT Agreement, exemption from SAD on inputs/components for PC manufacturing, imposition of education cess on imported electronic products for parity, etc.



Some of the major initiatives taken by the Government of India to boost the Indian semiconductor industry are as follows:
1.The government also plans to invest US$10 billion in two computer chip manufacturing facilities with a view to create an ecosystem that lays the focus on high-end innovation.
2.The Union Cabinet has reconstituted an empowered committee on setting up semiconductor wafer fabrication manufacturing facilities in the country.
3.The government has planned to launch a Rs 10,000-crore (US$ 1.5 billion) fund for domestic electronic firms with a view to provide financial assistance to firms for electronics manufacturing in India.

Still long way to go. This field requires highly specialized talent. Yes there is indeed availability of it but the companies have to tap it.

People with minimum 5 years experience are basically employed. This experience can be counted when one completes doctoral studies in this field. Otherwise it will be tough .

One more area where we can benefit very much and simultaneously get rid of biggest problem of polythene is to make plastic roads. We can use waste plastic to produce rods. Work is already going on in Baroda and surat. This road shall be cheap to make and consume all types of plastic. They shall be more smooth and robust roads which we can produce very cost effectively.

Plastic waste helps increase the strength of the road, reducing road fatigue. These roads have better resistance towards rain water and cold weather. Since a large amount of plastic waste is required for a small stretch of road, the amount of waste plastic strewn around will definitely reduce.

http://www.thebetterindia.com/43685...onstruction-plastic-man-india-prof-vasudevan/

http://articles.economictimes.india...astic-waste-road-construction-road-developers

India generates 56 lakh tonne of plastic waste annually. As per a study by the Central Pollution Control Board, 60 large cities in India generate over 15,000 tonne of plastic waste every day. Delhi generates close to 7,000 tonne of waste every day, of which over 10 per cent is pure plastic but cannot be disposed even by waste-to-energy plants because of environmental reasons.

In an observation earlier this year, the Supreme Court had said that the country was sitting on a plastic time bomb.

But whom you'll export.
We are setting up industries very fast but exports are falling because economies of importers isn't good condition.
Our GDP per capita growth is substantially high and improvement rate of HDI, poverty ratio and other indexes is enough.
@HariPrasada-1 seems to be in hurry otherwise, India will surely be a better place in due course of time.
If we can't export, use our products ourselves. Impose some taxes / penalties on foreign products so Indians use home made ones.

Reliability leads to improved time performance and reduces loss and damage, thus reducing financial wastage.
Market size increases and access to wider markets adds to economies of scale in production, distribution, and consumption, thereby increasing economic growth of the country.

Productivity increases manifold as transport increases productivity gained from access to a larger and more diverse base of inputs such as raw materials, parts, energy, and labor, and broader markets for more diverse outputs

Because of its intensive use of infrastructure the transport sector is an important component of the economy and a common tool used for development.


economic impacts of a good transportation infrastructure

A relation between the quantity and quality of transport infrastructure and the level of economic development is apparent.
High density transport infrastructure and highly connected networks are commonly associated with high levels of development. When transport systems are efficient, they provide economic and social opportunities and benefits that result in positive multipliers effects such as
1.better accessibility to markets,
2.employment
3.and additional investments.

When transport systems are deficient in terms of capacity or reliability, they can have an economic cost such as reduced or missed opportunities and lower quality of life.

Major investments by both the public and private sectors in the coming years on infrastructure, technology upgrades, and expansion of land, sea and airport facilities, and a dedicated logistics corridor in the rail network are likely to strengthen the Indian logistics/transport infrastructure.

The existing multi layered tax system is contributing to significant delays in the road transportation sector, and proposed implementation of GST is likely to simplify tax structure and lower logistics costs.

let us take the example of Indian railways freight system



Freight trains, for example, charge much higher rates, yet they travel at half the speed of passenger trains, for which fares remain low. LOLZZ

if the Indian railway freight complex is over hauled then manufacturers stand to be the biggest winners in the medium to long term. According to the World Bank, reducing transportation costs by 20% to 30% could boost profit in key manufacturing sectors by 2% to 3%, In addition, the World Bank notes that a mere 0.5% decrease in logistics costs could result in a 2% increase in trade and 40% increase in the range of exported products.

Spending on rail infrastructure would create demand for commodities, such as iron and steel, as well as services such as engineering and construction. Rail freight improvements would boost logistical efficiency, while lowering costs, which could help cut prices for raw materials. Other added benefits: Passenger rail volumes could increase as trains remain a cheaper, safer and faster mode of long-distance travel, compared to roads, improving regional mobility, boosting tourism, while reducing road congestion.


socioeconomic benefits of a developed and efficient transportation system

another benefit is the increase in LSP (logistics service providers) growth due to high costs of maintaining in-house logistic activities, rising complexity in supply chains due to growth in global sourcing and distribution practices, increasing orientation of manufacturing industries to focus on core competencies, and growth in online retailing. Along with the growth drivers, improving weak transport infrastructure, connectivity and distribution networks, developing specialty storage facilities, bringing in uniform regulations, and removal of administrative hurdles to prevent loss of time to deliver across borders will usher in more employment generation and growth in secondary/support services.



i have touched the tip of the iceberg only
there is more to it

Yes,

I just purchased 2 Buses for one school. I was talking to tata dealer. I asked him one question. How much is the improvement in the fuel efficiency of the buses? He replied that there is a great improvement in buses' fuel efficiency so as trucks. He said that earlier, our 50 ton capacity truck used to gibe 2 to 2.25 KM fuel efficient now it gives 3.25 to 3.5 KMPL. Here it is one more area where we can spend much more on research to benefit greatly from our R & D.

another sector is the transport sector and related infra which will play a great role in boosting economic development in India.
these include railways roads ports airports and inland waterways.

A well-knit and coordinated system of transport plays an important role in the sustained economic growth of a country. Transport routes are the basic economic arteries of the country. Transport system is regarded as the controller of the national economy and provides a very important link between production and consumption. The amount of traffic moving in a country is a measure of its progress.


transport improvements impact on economic growth

Efficient transport is a critical component of economic development.
Transport availability affects national development patterns and can be a boost or a barrier to economic growth of a nation.

Transport’s contribution to economic development includes the following:
Network/connectivity improves i.e linking more locations increases exponentially the value and effectiveness of transport.

Performance improvement through reduction of cost and time for existing freight movements leads to increased transport system contribution to economic growth of the nation.

Reliability leads to improved time performance and reduces loss and damage, thus reducing financial wastage.
Market size increases and access to wider markets adds to economies of scale in production, distribution, and consumption, thereby increasing economic growth of the country.

The north east railway freight corridor work is going fine. We shall have a dedicate rail freight corridor. That will reduce transportation cost a lot. We need a web of such type of corridor all over the country. We need specially designed coaches for better handling of the goods. We need to increase water way utilization. That should make our transportation cheap. We should utilize canals and rivers to transport goods.

Next Topic I discuss here is growing rich by waste recycling.

read here a very interesting article.

This New Tech Could Convert India’s 300 Million Tonnes Farm Waste to 100 Billion Tonnes Fuel
In Uttarakhand, a new biofuel conversion plant piloted in Kashipur can convert all kinds of agricultural waste into bioethanol. This unique technology has many benefits over other biofuel plants that convert sugarcane or corn into biofuel.

Agricultural waste is a by-product that is used in some places as fodder for animals. But a majority of farmers do not realize its potential — the waste is thrown into ditches and fire set to it. This practice only adds to air pollution and is harmful for the environment in general.

But a recent development, spearheaded by scientists from the Department of Biotechnology in India, could turn this waste into treasure. Science Minister Harsh Vardhan inaugurated a new kind of biofuel plant on April 22.

At this plant, agricultural waste is converted into a form of alcohol – ethyl alcohol or bioethanol – which can be used as biofuel, to replace imported fuel.

Fuel is used mainly for transportation in India.

Source: pixabay.com
The demonstration plant was piloted in Kashipur, Uttarakhand, in the premises of India Glycols Limited, a petrochemical company that aims at being green and clean.

The Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) worked in tandem with DBT to build the technology for this plant at Rs 35 crores, according to the Economic Times.

Ethanol production from natural materials isn’t a novel concept in itself. Before this, technology to convert sugarcane and corn maize into ethanol existed. This kind of ethanol is called first generation ethanol (1G ethanol). But converting agricultural waste into ethanol is a fairly new technology – and this ethanol is called second generation or 2G ethanol.

Why 2G Wins Over 1G
Currently, the total capacity of 1G ethanol plants installed in the country comes up to only 2.5 billion litres of fuel production. Oil-based industries, on the other hand, have a demand of 5 billion litres annually. But the answer isn’t to build more 1G ethanol plants. Ultimately, such an increase to meet the demand would impact the sugar market, livestock that depend on bagasse (the leftovers after extracting sugarcane juice) for food, and land used for sugarcane production.

But 2G ethanol comes from agricultural waste – which is available in plenty and is a natural byproduct that does not need to be specially produced.

Farm waste

Source: Left, right
This the best example of recycling and reusing, and there’s no need to burn away more waste.

The numbers say it loud and clear: India’s farms end up producing about 100 million tonnes of agricultural waste. If all of this is put into a 2G ethanol biofuel plant, we would have a 100 billion litres of ethanol.

This bioethanol can be used as a substitute for petrol and diesel, or even blended with fuel to improve mileage and reduce pollution.

Better Than the Rest
The demonstration plant currently is capable of converting and processing 10 tonnes of waste daily.

Mumbai-based Arvind Lalli currently heads the Centre for Energy Biosciences, set up by ICT and DBT.

He says this new technology developed indigenously is more efficient than other similar 2G ethanol converters developed around the world.

For one, a range of agricultural waste can be converted – and isn’t restricted to just bagasse, rice or wheat straw. Cotton stalk, bamboo and wood chips can also be included.

He then explains to The Telegraph, “It yields bioethanol in less than 24 hours, whereas others take four to five days. Besides, it is capable of recycling 90% of enzymes and water used by the plant. Enzymes – specialty chemical compounds that help convert cellulose in these residues to sugars and subsequently to ethanol – are costly and form a major part of the running expense. Therefore, their recycling brings down the operational cost significantly.”

The Process of Recycling
A series of huge bioreactors are set up at the Kashipur plant. Wheat- and bagasse-based agricultural waste was used in its pilot operation round. The dry waste is put into the plant and is converted into slurry when it is exposed to chemicals. This slurry is then pumped around in the processing area. Here, an imported cellulose enzyme converts the cellulose present in the biomass into sugars. These sugars are then added to yeast, which finally turns into ethanol.

The engineers at the bioplant say that the enzyme is then recovered and is recycled back into the plant, ready for the new batch.

Towards a Greener Future
Lalli and his team are working on building higher capacity plants, which can process 250 to 500 tonnes of waste daily.

According to him, a litre of 2G bioethanol can be sold at Rs 25 per litre. As of 2014, 1G ethanol cost up to Rs 50.

A cheaper source of fuel is finally a possibility.

Source: Wikimedia Commons, pixabay.com
When the National Green Tribunal banned the burning of waste, it also suggested that state government should set up platforms where farmers can sell their agricultural waste for money. Now, with this 2G ethanol development plant, the chain of sustainable, eco-friendly practices is further extended.

In India, about 70 million tonnes of fuel is being utilised for public transport alone. The national policy for biofuel and diesel mandates that at least 5% biofuel must be blended with diesel. The government plans to increase this to 20% by 2020. With 1G biofuel plants, India can only feed up to 3% of this demand. But an increase in the 2G ethanol production could feed furher demand, if such biofuel plants are set up everywhere around the country.

Now a lots of waste shall be left out after extracting the bio fuel from it. We can produce bio fertilizer from same. One of my farmer friend was saying that if he adds about some 8 to 10 tractors of cow dumb in his farm, he will not need any fertilizer for next 3 years and crop shall grow like anything. This is the power of bio fertilizer. However the small problem is that it has the gases like ethanol which harms atmosphere. We should take away those fuel from the dumb and than we should utilize that for fertilizers.

My plan for village and particularly sugarcane growing area is as follows.

Stages:

1) do not transport sugar can to sugar mills in tractor but take out juice and transport that in tanker. The price of juice should be decided by working out the percentage of sugar in the juice in laboratory.
2) The remains of suger should be used to extract bio fuel and the remaining should be used in making bio fertilizer.
3) Or alternatively it should be used to make papers.

Government policy and support:

government should tell the entrepreneurs that they will get a loan but they will not have to payback any money but they will have to return the loan by giving government bioethenol which shall be purchased by government at some particular rate as the sum of loan repayment.

As stated above bloody 100 bn ton fuel is a very very big amount of fuel.

Wastage should be collected from nearby area and should be used as the bio fuel. Alternatively some small sized mobile plants should be made so that they can go to the places where the garbage is collected and produce bio fuel at the location and move ahead.

another sector is the semiconductor industry.



The Indian semiconductor industry offers high growth potential areas as the industries which source semiconductors as inputs are themselves witnessing high demand. The end-use industries such as mobile devices, telecommunication equipment, information technology, office automation (IT & OA), industrial machinery, automobiles and several other industries have applications for computing in some form or other and thereby necessarily have growing demand for semiconductors.

for the high tech gadgets available today requires higher power than reforms designing of semiconductor part of the device. Making a gadget trendy, resizes the chip inside. To address these challenges, existing manufacturing infrastructure is required to be upgraded and new full-flashed manufacturing is required in local Indian market. The wearable & smart electronics trend at our footstep future will influence entire semiconductor industry. Global semiconductor industry will be driven largely by macroeconomic development and technological advances.



Global semiconductor industry is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.3% over the next five years and reach an estimated $394 billion in 2017. India industry can wholly cater this demand in all aspects of intelligence, Man-power, raw material and natural resources and thus has a great potential to evolve as a semiconductor manufacturing hub. The roadmap will require the country to makes necessary investments in infrastructure and education.

According to the India Electronics & Semiconductor Association, the Indian Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) market will grow from US$ 76 billion in 2013 to US$ 400 billion by 2020. Consumption of semiconductors, in the meantime, has also steadily climbed. According to a report by NOVONOUS, the semiconductor industry is estimated to grow from US$ 10.02 billion in 2013 to US$ 52.58 billion in 2020 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26.72 per cent.

There is a need to boost the electronic design and manufacturing in India, promote product development, nurture startups and introduce a level playing field at different points in the entire electronic ecosystem. These efforts will in turn help foster growth. All these would require rigorous efforts from various stakeholders involved in the entire ecosystem and continuous encouragement from the government is needed to pull investors to make to large investments. Also, as per Government of India the bill of Import of electronics items in India will exceed that of petroleum by 2020, this factor clearly illustrates the significance of Indian semiconductor fabrication facilities.



Setting-up a Semiconductor facility in India.
A Long Term Plan – As Foundry setup is highly Capital intensive, it must be supported with a solid long term plan and financial backing. This backing is required from the entrepreneur & the government both.

Fiscal Sustenance – In text of Indian Government as tax holiday, subsidy, zero duty, financial investment etc. will play an important role in promoting the Fab along with the semiconductor industry in India; this will put further pressure on already large Fiscal Deficit. A stubborn financial system is required to bought in picture.

Support Infrastructure – This is a very important aspect which needs to be looked at for smooth running of the Fab. A world class, sustainable infrastructure, as required by a modern Fab be provided, with swift transportation, large quantity of pure water, uninterrupted electricity, communication, pollutant free environment etc.

Government Policy – This is one of the most important factors for such a massive step to be taken. The policy (that includes all kinds of subsidies, which may be tapered down in future with due conditional clauses) taken up now must be valid and stable for at least 10 to 15 years irrespective of which party is in power.


Obstacles & Challenges.


1.Huge Investments involved
2.Semiconductor Fabrication is a volume production facility right from the starting.
3.Semiconductor Fabrication will require cheap but skilled labor.
4.Very High end world –class machinery involved.
5.Requirement of very specific raw materials.
6.Uncertain Indian market
7.Disposable of Hazardous Waste
8.Infrastructure Requirement
9.Lack of education in Indian on Advanced semiconductor manufacturing



Simmtronics Semiconductors Ltd one of the largest tablet PC manufacturer in India

The Government of India expects investment proposals in electronics manufacturing to increase two times in the two years to 2017-18, giving a push to the government's 'Make in India' initiative. Of the 54 proposals received, the Centre has approved 30 requests entailing investments of Rs 6,000 crore (US$ 900 million), while 24 are in an advanced stage.

The Government of India has allowed 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) under the automatic route in Electronics Systems Design & Manufacturing sector. According to the data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the electronics sector attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth US$ 1.53 billion between April 2000 and September 2015.

Some of the notable developments in this sector are as follows:

  1. Infineon Technologies, a German semiconductor firm has partnered with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to impart training to youth on semiconductor or chip technology, aimed at boosting the electronic manufacturing ecosystem in India.
  2. US-based semiconductor company Freescale which has R&D facility in India, said that it is enabling its partners to bring smart products to facilitate the government's Rs 1.13 trillion (US$ 16.95 billion) Digital India initiative.
  3. Cyient Ltd has announced that it is acquiring a majority stake in Rangsons Electronics Pvt. Ltd, a Mysuru-based electronics system design and manufacturing (ESDM) services company. Cyient has signed an agreement to acquire a 74 per cent equity stake in Rangsons Electronics in an all-cash transaction.
  4. Aricent, a US-based product engineering firm has acquired Bengaluru-based chip design services company SmartPlay for Rs 1,100 crore (US$ 170 million), making it one of the biggest acquisitions in the semiconductor space in India
  5. Altran Technologies SA, a French technology consulting firm, has agreed to acquire SiConTech, a Bengaluru-based company that designs semiconductor chips, making it the first deal in the semiconductor space wherein a foreign multinational corporation has acquired an Indian start-up.
  6. Invecas Technologies Pvt. Ltd, a startup working on outsourced chip design plans to invest US$15-20 million over the next couple of years in setting up design centers in Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
  7. IESA has signed a MoU with Singapore Semiconductor Industry Association (SSIA) to establish and develop trade and technical cooperation between the electronics and semiconductor industries of both the countries.
  8. India Electronics & Semiconductor Association (IESA), the premier trade body representing the Indian Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) industry has announced a SPEED UP and SCALE UP of its talent development initiative. This will be implemented through the Centre of Excellence with Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) and RV-VLSI Design Center to build the talent pipeline in the ESDM space.
  9. Gujarat is expected to have its first semiconductor wafer fabrication manufacturing facility by late 2017 in Prantij of Sabarkantha district. The facility, which will be set up by Hindustan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (HSMC), will employ over 25,000 people including 4,000 direct employees. HSMC along with ST Microelectronics (France/Italy) and Silterra (Malaysia) will set up two manufacturing units each with capacity of producing 20,000 wafers per month.

Government Initiatives

The electronic system design and manufacturing (ESDM) industry will benefit from the government's “Make in India” campaign and is projected to see investment proposals worth Rs 10,000 crore (US$ 1.5 billion) over the next two years, according to the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), an industry body.

The Government of India has taken several steps to boost domestic production of electronic items and reduce dependence on imports. Some of these steps include imposition of basic customs duty on certain items falling outside the purview of IT Agreement, exemption from SAD on inputs/components for PC manufacturing, imposition of education cess on imported electronic products for parity, etc.



Some of the major initiatives taken by the Government of India to boost the Indian semiconductor industry are as follows:
1.The government also plans to invest US$10 billion in two computer chip manufacturing facilities with a view to create an ecosystem that lays the focus on high-end innovation.
2.The Union Cabinet has reconstituted an empowered committee on setting up semiconductor wafer fabrication manufacturing facilities in the country.
3.The government has planned to launch a Rs 10,000-crore (US$ 1.5 billion) fund for domestic electronic firms with a view to provide financial assistance to firms for electronics manufacturing in India.

Awesome and very very impressive. The way modi is working is exceptionally impressive. It is an all round development with keeping environment concern in mind. I believe that we are developing like no other has done in past. Our development model a combination of Israeli model, US model and chinese model and brazilian model combo. We have a focus on high tech items as well as manufacturing and agriculture as well. We have full focus on waste elimination environment as well. I think that modi must ally with Baba Ramdev to initiate some grass root level changes and rural projects to boost rural economy.

Milk production:

As we know the milk demand is increasing rapidly outpacing the production resulting into a steep rise in price. The issue with milk production is that now cows' breeds are spoiled. As swami ramdev was saying, some cows do not give even 1 liter of milk in hilly areas. Ranchers do not get sufficient milk compared to what they spend on live stock breeding. Nobody ever focused on this shrinking milk production and tried to address the concern. It is a matter of pride that swamy ramdev has accepted the challenge and and he is all set so spend Rs 500 cr on the improving the breeds of cow. I was listening him and he was saying that there will be a revolution shortly. The cows which are giving 6 to 7 liters of milk every day will give 20 to 25 liters of milk every day. Imaging the income the live stock breeder will get if the milk production double or tripped. More over people shall get cheaper milk and milk products. country will become healthy. We must target to double the milk production by 2025. Government must run a generous education drive to improve cow bedfellow breeds and another measures to improve milk production and quality. Government should tie up with patanjali in this area or give a research contract to patanjali for improving the milk production.
