LoP Rahul Gandhi - TN

  We need to change more than just the education system.

 We need to change the way we think about production and focus more on it and manufacturing.

We have done pretty well in the IT space. You must have heard about our success in software engineering. But this industry is now going to run into trouble because of AI. We have to make sure that we don't lose out in the services sector, where we are doing decently, but also start building the manufacturing sector.

What has happened today is that the Chinese have dominated manufacturing. Pretty much everything we use, e.g., cameras, microphones, etc., has all been made in China. We want these to be made in India. In order to do that, we need to change the mindset.

We have to respect the people who work with their hands, such as the artisans, the SMEs and the farmers and labourers who work in the fields. That's the cultural change that we need.
