Let’s throw the Emotions and play the game using our Minds
The great Indian festival Diwali is at the door, which is a festival of lights. Every year, when Diwali approaches, we start to talk about the boycott of Chinese products. Is this realistic? Absolutely not, nowadays, the whole world has become a global market. If we want to participate in the global market, the way is innovation, which provides the best quality products at cheaper price. No matter how many times, we blew our trump about to boycott of Chinese Diwali products, it doesn’t work. The markets are flooded with several Chinese products, from crackers to LED lamps.
Diya (Soil Oil Lamp) is most key product during Diwali. Through lighting the Diya; we can connect our spiritual vibes with god. It has too many advantages as compared to electronic LED lamps. Diya is our old tradition from Vedic days, in Hinduism believes that it provide the right direction of the path in our life, it is entire environmental friendly, low cost and most significant when you light the Diya, it gives the mental peace and true happiness. In additional, if you purchase Diya, which may help to happily live some poor families, please note Diya doesn’t manufacture by Reliance or Tata or so on. It’s our responsibility to keep it alive, let’s promise ourselves, in this Diwali, we going to use only Diya …which is the purely Indian tradition.
We are in the 21st century, the mode of celebrations has changed, and we have to accept it. Now a day, we (so-called upper-class or middle-class family) uses the various LEDs lights to décor our homes, these all (95%) LED lights are manufactured by China. From the unaware customer point of view, I look for cheaper products, and China provides that. How they did? It’s time to understand their systems.
Let’s introspect, what we are doing? At present, we are unable to develop LEDs, which are better, smaller and cheaper than Chinese products. Just blowing to the phrase “Make in India”… “Make in India”, doesn’t help. I agree that the money we spent in research and innovation in not sufficient. No matter, how much we spent, Have we developed any product in last 10 years? It hard to accept the truth that maximum our researcher or scientist are only busy for increasing the numbers of paper publication and patent filing for their promotion or personal benefits. Let’s frankly speaking, is there any products, which we use in daily life is developed by CSIR lab or other govt. funded organization? After the patent was granted, no one bothers to bring it to the product level, then what the meaning of doing such research, which doesn’t give the benefit to the society. Whatever amount we spent for research (39 CSIR Lab, IITs, NITs, Central Institutions), we should ask for accountability, otherwise, the research will continue as numbers game only. Last year NR Narayana Murthy well said “No invention, earth-shaking idea from India in 60 years”, it is a bitter truth.
For the private player, the scenario is not different, big private giant Reliance offers Jio free SIM with its handsets, they provide the low-quality LYF handsets, which is Made in China and interestingly Make for India. Amazing, Reliance talking about digitalization, it sells various electronic products in its reliance digital store, where a single product is not developed by Reliance itself.
A Recent corporate spark from TATA, till date, we feel proud that Indian TATA gifted Nono car to the world, which is the lowest price on this planet. As per the former chairmen Cyrus Mistry- Tatas not shutting loss-making Nano for emotional reasons…oh, my god..!
Emotion doesn’t provide the success in competitive world, so we have to play the game by using our minds, let’s think about few some facts & do the change as earliest-
•No detention policies to 80% Indian engineering graduates are unemployable (Shocking).
•Education systems should be practical approach (No theoretical)
•Promote from schools to universities: Rewarding based on innovation & product development (Marks % should not be only criteria)
•Promotions of scientists and professors (Applied Science and Engineering) should be purely based on what products they developed, how much sections of the society going to benefited.
•Make sure about accountability, the single penny we spent in research.
•Increase the research and innovation budget.
•Let’s promote innovation…
It will take time, maybe next 10-15 years, but first we have truly analyzed our education system and adopt the systems which help true innovation, then only our next generation will use the Indian LEDs or Crackers during Diwali celebrations, then only “Make in India” will meaningful.
India & China are two emerging economies is the world market, China already one steps forward; it’s our time to join in the race. Let’s innovates better and cheaper products; no need to boycott, Chinese Products will automatically fade away from the Indian Market.
Wishing you a very Happy Diwali….!
Truly
An Indian, who believes in improvement…!
