Say “NO” to Chinese goods
India to put restrictions over 370 Chinese goods imported to India. As we all know that, recently Chinese apps are also restricted and other Chinese goods will be soon banned in India. For the development of the economy, the Indian government will be soon going to take this step.
Let us see and discuss its effectiveness and how much time will it take.
Most of the time are imported from China. To check imports of substandard and non-essential goods, BIS said, “It is framing mandatory quality standards for 371 items identified by the commerce ministry.” Chinese goods are non-durable. substandard and non-essential goods imported from China will be put on stand by BIS Mandatorily and will be identified by the commerce ministry.
Goods and lists of several segments, ranging from steel, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical machinery to toys are mostly imported from China. These import of goods will be put under control. The concerned ministers will identify the important products from the list given by the commerce ministry and approaching BIS for making the standards mandatory. The standards which set would be compared with the quality and product would be as per set standard. Lower quality products food and be imported.
BIS Director-General Pramod Kumar Tiwari told,
“ Standards for some products will be made by December and the rest by March 2021.” The cabinet secretary of India is also reviewing the matter closely.
How BIS is ensuring Quality Check?
BIS is strengthening its surveillance system and has posted officers at major ports such as Kandla, Cochin, Visakhapatnam to work closely with the customs department. The officers will take the market samples of the imported products and test them at the port itself. BIS along with custom officers will check the quality and ensure the quality of the product. If product quality isn’t as per the standard set, the product would be restricted to enter the Indian market.
1986. This organization was formerly known as Indian Standard A new Bureau of Indian Standard Act 2016 which was not defined on 22 March 2016, has been brought into force with effect from 12 October 2017. The act establishes the B I S the National Standards Body of India. It is established for the development of activities of standardization, marking, and quality certification of goods. Benefits to the national economy in numerous ways — providing safe reliable quality goods, promoting exports and import substitutes, control over the proliferation of varieties, etc through standardization, certification, and testing.
It will usually impact imported goods from China.
New quality standards may keep a lot of Chinese products out of the Indian market.
Lowers the outflow of dollars.
People and customers will be more and more aware of the quality of the product.
At last but not the least, Aatma Norbar Bharat, the first step towards it.
BIS is making efforts to increase the surveillance visits at factories and markets to more than a year from the current 20,000 visits. BIS has set 20866 standards and mandatory standards for 358 products, to ensure quality products are imported and sold in India.
Very soon “ One Nation, One Standard” will be in existence for the insurance of quality products. it means a single standard will be set for the whole nation based on the product and its quality.
China has created an opportunity for India to attract foreign industries and balance its economy! The present situation can lead to India’s great opportunity to attract these firms, bring investment and employment, and transfer technologies in our nation. Prime minister Narendra Modi gave the message of Self-dependent (Aatmanirbhar). according to PM Narendra Modi, we have to become self-dependent to sustain in this pandemic situation caused by a novel coronavirus. we are looking forward to attracting business companies to set up their warehouses, operational units, and offices. Also, We can attract foreign investments in our country and create employment opportunities as well. India will have to start production and manufacturing units to balance the following economy and to generate employment in the country.
Make in India movement can help to balance the Indian economy!
We can get back our economy through Make in India!
It can increase the manufacturing sector's rate of growth 212 to 14% to enhance the sector’s share within the economy.
It can create a hundred million additional manufacturing jobs within the market place by the year 2022.
Also, to make sure the manufacturing sector’s contribution to GDP is increased by 25% by 2022.
India’s relations with other countries!
PM Narendra Modi focused on relations of India with other countries. By taking advice from the Ministry of External Affairs, PM changed its policies, visited other countries, signed several trade contracts with other countries, and established healthy and friendly relations with many countries. prominent experts of external affairs are assuming that healthy relations can lead to attracting foreign investments.
we can assume that India can become a larger platform for foreign investments to the widespread of COVID-19. If this happens, India will surely balance its declining economy, indulge in technology exchange, and get employment opportunities.
