- Issues & Challenges to India’s Manufacturing SectorA survey based empirical studyManufacturing sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last five decades. The sector plays an imperative role in the progressive growth and development of the economy. This is evident with the fact that the sector contributes 15.24 per cent of the country’s GDP, and provides employment to over 6 million persons. This sector has huge potential and has the ability to take the Indian economy to higher growth trajectory.The Indian Government has taken numerous measures to promote the manufacturing industry, and in 2011 it launchedNational Manufacturing Policy (NMP) to give further boost to this sector. However, despite initiatives undertaken by the Government of India, the sector is suffering with various constraints of easy access to finance, technological up gradation, infrastructural support, complex regulatory system etc.With this backdrop to understand the role and challenges faced by the Manufacturing sector we have designed a structured questionnaire. We therefore request you to kindly share your views and experiences on this sector through this questionnaire. You may also circulate it amongst your contacts to widen the sample size of our study.We hereby request you to kindly support us in this endeavour by filling up the attached questionnaire latest by 10th May.Kindly revert back on shiva.kumra@phdcci.inWarm regards,Dr. S P SharmaChief Economist________________________________________________PHD Research BureauPHD Chamber of Commerce and IndustryAugust Kranti Marg, New Delhi – 110016Tel 91 11 49545454, Fax 91 11 26855450,E mail – research@phdcci.inWebsite www.phdcci.in0

Terrified at his imminent entry into the adult world of irreversible responsibilities and dismayed by his best friend's horror stories of midnight baby bottles and shrill arguments, Carlo finds himself tempted by a bewitching 18-year-old girl he meets by chance. Meanwhile, Giulia's mother Anna, bored after 29 years in a solid, stodgy marriage, is shocked by the realization that she will soon be a grandmother and finds herself chasing what she perceives to be her vanishing youth.Regards,Istituto Italiano di Cultura-New Delhi

- Undernourished population in India declines by about 35% from 1990-92 to 2010-12Around 217 million people are estimated to be undernourished in India in 2010-12 as against 240 million in 1990-92, while about 868 million people across the world are undernourished in 2010-12 as against 1000 million in 1990-92Highlights of the report on ‘The State of Food Insecurity in the World’ by Food and Agriculture Organisation, United NationsFood Agriculture Organisation’s (FAO) in its report titled “The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2012” said that the proportion of undernourished population across the word has marked a decline of around 33%. The proportion of undernourished in total world population stands at 12.5% during 2010-12 as against 18.6% during 1990-1992. While for India , the proportion of undernourished population has marked a decline of around 35%. The proportion of undernourished in India ’s total population stands at 17.5% during 2010-12 as against 26.9% during 1990-1992.With almost 868 million people chronically undernourished in 2010–12, the number of hungry people in the world remains unacceptably high. The vast majority live in developing countries, where about 852 million people are estimated to be undernourished. Improved undernourishment from 1990, suggest that progress in reducing hunger has been more pronounced than previously believed. Most of the progress, however, was achieved before 2007–08. Since then, global progress in reducing hunger has slowed and levelled off.In order for economic growth to enhance the nutrition of the neediest, the poor must participate in the growth process and its benefits. Growth needs to involve and reach the poor, the poor need to use the additional income for improving the quantity and quality of their diets and for improved health services and governments need to use additional public resources for public goods and services to benefit the poor and hungry.Agricultural growth is particularly effective in reducing hunger and malnutrition-- Most of the extreme poor depend on agriculture and related activities for a significant part of their livelihoods. Agricultural growth involving smallholders, especially women, will be most effective in reducing extreme poverty and hunger when it increases returns to labour and generates employment for the poor.Economic and agricultural growth should be nutrition-sensitive --Growth needs to result in better nutritional outcomes through enhanced opportunities for the poor to diversify their diets, improved access to safe drinking water and sanitation, improved access to health services, better consumer awareness regarding adequate nutrition and child care practices and targeted distribution of supplements in situations of acute micronutrient deficiencies. Good nutrition, in turn, is key to sustainable economic growth.Social protection is crucial for accelerating hunger reduction—Social protection can protect the most vulnerable who have not benefited from economic growth and also properly structured, can contribute directly to more rapid economic growth through human resource development and strengthened ability of the poor, especially smallholders, to manage risks and adopt improved technologies with higher productivity.Economic growth needs to be accompanied by purposeful and decisive public action to accelerate hunger reduction-- Public policies and programmes must create a conducive environment for pro-poor long-term economic growth. Key elements of enabling environments include provision of public goods and services for the development of the productive sectors, equitable access to resources by the poor, empowerment of women, and design and implementation of social protection systems. An improved governance system, based on transparency, participation, accountability, rule of law and human rights, is essential for the effectiveness of such policies and programmes.Warm regards,Dr. S P SharmaChief Economist________________________________________________PHD Research BureauPHD Chamber of Commerce and IndustryAugust Kranti Marg, New Delhi – 110016Tel 91 11 49545454, Fax 91 11 26855450,E mail – research@phdcci.inWebsite www.phdcci.in
