ARE CHINESE PRODUCTS ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE ?
The main attraction for the chines products are the price . For example an Indian CFL bulb costs Rs. 180/ with one year guarantee , Chinese costs Rs. 50 . All retail price.How they are able to offer ? Or is there any hidden agenda to stifle our Industries make Indians dependents totally.
Other than electrical goods , children’s toys , electronic items , play equipments and recently last Crackers and Kites that had swarmed the market last season.
The cracker Industry in India are mostly done as cottage industry where women , uneducated find occupation and earn some meager money as the labour ,is mostly unorganized. It will be a big blow for the workers employed if Chinese crackers are allowed this festival season.
Like wise another big blow would be for the Kite manufacturers ; kite flying is seasonal I think it starts now and goes on for some months. These are also poor and unorganized mostly under employed labourers.
No doubts their children's toys have a good appearance.
The price is the main attraction for the consumers.
There should be some attraction for the people importing them as it is liquidated quickly to get the buck also quickly.
Should we be so dependent on the Chinese products , that the imports are 5 times the value our exports to them. Our exports constitute mainly raw materials like iron ore valuable herbs. Not much finished goods. We exports finished goods only to countries which haven't developed their Industries like Auto rickshaws to Srilanka, and Rail Wagons to Africa. We shouldn't become like these countries to depend on China for finished goods.
Their imports are mainly finished products . So their citizens get a chance to use their skills , hone them up from time to time. Our labourers have to stagnate in developing themselves. Indian Government should have a rethinking on the quantity of imports and smuggled items from china .Some possible attempts to overcome :
* First and foremost people of India shouldn't buy the Crackers and the kites , this coming festival season.
* Remove taxes on crackers so that Indian produced crackers are used this festival season.
* Discourage license to import crackers and kite . Come down heavily on smugglers.
* Check the quality of the plastic and other materials used for the manufacture of children’s toys. If there is smallest doubt ban the import.
* Take it seriously to give skills training for the youth as we do see some posters .
* Encourage the Small scale entrepreneurs and cottage Industries in a Big way . Jai Hind. more
