Can 'Make in India' Translate into Making Jobs for India?

“Make in India” campaign proposes to “transform India into a global manufacturing hub” and thereby use manufacturing as a vehicle for job growth. Creating more jobs is considered as one of the key tools for achieving inclusive growth in India. The objective of poverty alleviation and improving the Human Development indicators can’t be achieved if the country fails to provide formal sector jobs to the workforce. However, Indian growth pattern has defied the typical pattern of economic development through the evolution of the agriculture, industry, and services sectors. Many developmental economists are of the view that, India has missed the industrial revolution bus when its other Asian counterparts were taking the maximum advantage of it. Make in India intends to give impetus to industrial sector and hence create mass jobs which shall enable to absorb the large pool of the workers engaged in other low productivity sectors. This is not as easy as it appears as there remain many challenges before India to convert this into reality. The prominent challenges in job creation can be capital intensive nature of the companies investing in India, low level of skills to the youth, greater share of unorganised/informal sector in employment share of the country and dismal growth of India’s export sector.
