The government focus is back on manufacturing. India has very limited scope of growth in agriculture. The only hope for mass employment is in manufacturing and services.@sgarg India is paradox,we are skipping mfg and enter to Service sector here 20% ppl contributing 70% gdp from service sector but our 50% ppl depends on Agri.If these 600 mn ppl also enter service sector then we called as developed country.That is big puzzle & slow process.
Valid.@Ray, your point is valid from the point of increasing rural incomes. However not from increasing employment.
GOI faces the very important job of increasing employment which is based on growth in manufacturing and services.
Exactly !!@Ray @sgarg India Un/Intentionally knows it's weakness in mfg/agri.I read some where,if u invest 1/- in Mfg Rate of return is 1.60/- where as in service 2/- with less damage to environment.
That is why GOI investing heavily in Medical tourism,Tourism,Yoga,Incredible India,Space tech,Biotech,Pharma,entertainment industry,software,etc which are burden for poor country like India but gives good yield in long term :thumb:
It is important, if I may state, that the development must be looked at holistically.Exactly !!
Tourism and Service sectors give more profit than manufacturing. Plus these sectors are pollution free.
Mr @Ray Manufacturing is given priority through "Make in India" program.It is important, if I may state, that the development must be looked at holistically.
Indeed the sector mentioned with add to jobs and bring in the dollars.
However, unless we have a strong manufacturing base and a robust agriculture, it will lead to imports and that will take away all what the other sectors will be reaping in.
Every aspect that contributes to the economy should be addressed is what I feel.
On processing and package food, I was telling how lucky my brother, who is an American citizen, that he had the best of food in the US and that is why he is better built.Mr @Ray Manufacturing is given priority through "Make in India" program.
Regarding Agriculture India lacks good food processing industry. Most of the agri products from India are not seen as good quality products. I think Food processing Industry needs to be given High Priority. In Japan the time it takes for a vegetable from harvest to Market is very less compared to India. They also preserved the vegetables in coolers before being sent to markets.
Similarly fish, the moment the fish is caught and exported to USA, the fish is taken care in freezers because of good food processing techniques.
Fisheries and Horticulture are also generating income compared to Agriculture. Since India has enormous coast line India needs to develop Fisheries as well. There is a good potential in this industry.
In Andhra Pradesh Agriculture, Fisheries and Horticulture are generating income almost in equal measure.
At the same time we need to take care of pollution levels, not to go for more coal plants, using solar and nuclear energy will help the environment.
That is nice to grow own vegetables organically, Now a days Organic farming is gaining importance !! :thumb:On processing and package food, I was telling how lucky my brother, who is an American citizen, that he had the best of food in the US and that is why he is better built.
He gave me a huge discourse how we are lucky that we eat fresh food and how processed food hampers health and so on.
Even on TV shows, I learnt that packaged and processed food are not that 'wonderful' as I thought.
The other day I heard a TV debate on the ills of GM food and how it has led to 'lifestyle' diseases in the US and so on.
I, being no expert, am totally confused.
But I would go along with fresh organic food and so I grow vegetables on my roof in an organic way and have some fruit tress in the small patch of a garden that my father insisted we have since he was very anti 'urban slum'. That is why we have a large bungalow with a garden and don't live in a flat.
However, given the shrinking space in the country, we will all have to depend on processed and frozen food.
Therefore, yes you are right, India will have to address the issue more seriously.
Even so, a fresh fish just caught and cooked immediately is a flavour that cannot be matched by even a 'fresh' frozen fish (frozen because it has come from some distance but still 'just caught') that is sold in the market.
Try any vegetable cultivated in a pot at home to that of the market. The difference is vast.
Thank you.https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=delicious+nippon
Mr @Ray I have watched the series of episodes called "delicious Nippon" a program on Japanese cuisine. In this program Japanese techniques of agriculture and fishing are shown. These are amazing techniques and shows how much Japanese give the importance for fresh food.
We also need to learn and implement these techniques in India.
Why look for issues to bug China with outside of China. The most serious issue that will keep China busy in the next 20 years are inside China from Tibet, Xinjiang region to domestic discontent. But I guess America will reserve the best for last?
Your leadership is taking full advantage of the situation between India and Pakistan as you have exploited the North East separatist movement in 1960's onwards. The times have changed and the bad Karma is already bleeding your Pakistani brothers. Your nation is next to pay the same price for her deeds. How and when you will pay will depend upon your CCP and PLA's actions and reactions in the global family of nation's? The intensity of natural disasters can also increase by applying military weapons technology once we are in position to apply the space technology to control and land our space crafts on Asteroids and comets in large numbers. One such success was displayed by European space program. Prepare your capital for some surprises before 2020.No, we don't need to use Pakistan, the problem between you two already existed even before PRC was founded.
All China need to do is keep this problem there.

What disaster is China heading to?China itself is heading for disaster. Things will get much worse before they get better. The illogic and militarism drive wars. Wars always result in misery. Nothing good has ever come out from meaningless and useless wars of the last few centuries.
Who refused to settle the border unless all its conditions are satisfied?India and Pakistan both need to spend more on social warfare, not military. However aggressiveness of China drives up military expenditure in India, and diverts funds needed for welfare.
Well, US, China and Saudi Arab will make sure they come back. You are welcome.Pakistan is chasing an impossible dream of defeating India. Pakistan does not a political or military capability to defeat India. I see a war in which Pakistan Army will suffer catastrophic losses. Since Pakistani political and social institutions are weak, it will implode once Pakistani army is defeated.
