Mr. Soumitra Bhattacharya, Chairman, CII Institute of Quality said “to achieve the "Viksit Bharat 2047" goal, the manufacturing sector must increase its contribution to the national GDP to at least 25% from its current level of around 15-17%.

a holistic strategy focused on continuous improvement, and high performance in quality, cost, speed, and safety. Establishing clear objectives, empowering employees, optimizing processes through methods like Lean Manufacturing, and leveraging technology for
data-driven decision-making will be the key, he said, according to a press release.
