For an industry globally classified as hazardous, protections such as health insurance and a provident fund for workers are necessities. In Sivakasi, they remain elusive.
The industry forecasts exports are set to grow 16% in 2025-26, boosted by surplus domestic production and a drive to push into 26 underserved global markets with strong potential.
Indigenisation level will progressively increase up to 60 percent with key sub-assemblies, electronics and mechanical parts being manufactured locally.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
I am surprised and scandalised by your scurrilous comment under the heading: “No takers for book in Sanjaya Baru’s honour”. Since, it refers to me and my recent conversation with Shekhar Gupta I lodge this protest and trust this response will be published as prominentyly as the article was.
Firstly, the issues are not related to the film: The Accidental Prime Minister in any way and therefore grossly out of place.
Secondly, in so far as the book is concerned there are former colleagues of Dr Baru and many renowned persons who are contributing to the Festcshrift which include Jagdish Bhagwati; Shyam Saran; Y. V. Reddy; C. Raja Mohan; Ambassador Mohan Kumar, Shakti Sinha; Sachin Chaturvedi; Bob Blackwill; Sergei Karaganov; Micchi Watanabe; Harsha Vardhan Singh etc. The book will be released in May, 2019 when Dr Baru turns 65.
Thirdly, I expected Shekhar to be more mature and circumspect than what he did by reporting in such an ugly manner, alas. Frankly, this is yellow journalism.
