of the sound

macro-economic fundamentals it has built over the

years. As economy after economy crumbled in the

global economic crisis, India stood firm and steady on

its growth path. A few years earlier, we could not have

believed that 7% growth would be maintained during

the worst global economic crisis in 80 years! It was a

rich and multifaceted experience to lead CII during

this tumultuous year.

As India successfully managed the largest-ever

exercise in democracy, the re-elected government

reiterated the theme of inclusive growth. The first

priority was to stabilize the economy through stimulus

measures and monetary management. Exports and

MSMEs were given special attention. Aggressive

measures were taken to pump liquidity into the

markets, compensate for plunging overseas demand

and boost domestic consumption.

As manufacturing and exports growth returned to

positive territory, despite a poor monsoon, India attracted

global attention for its robust recovery. Through the

slowdown, CII worked closely with the Government and

the RBI, to ensure that suitable stimulus measures were

opportunely announced for industry.

Our theme this year stressed on

and Stabilisation of the

economy was on top of our agenda, supported by

attention to infrastructure to alleviate India's

competitive disadvantage. New rules and laws for

companies also placed governance centrestage. Other

areas of focus were agriculture, internal security and

membership services, especially for MSMEs. These,

plus the usual momentum of activities, were coordinated

by 25 Councils, 55 Committees and 3 Missions.

CII interacted closely with the new government and

received a warm response for its initiatives and

suggestions. Many of our found

place in the full Budget and the new Foreign Trade

Policy. Our suggestions for the proposed Company Law,

the draft Direct Tax Code and the Goods and Services

Tax drew the government's attention.

This year, CII brought out the report of the

which outlined measures for

listed companies to adopt voluntarily to further improve

the standards of governance in Corporate India.

Besides policy recommendations on various issues, CII

accompanied the Commerce and Industry Minister,

Mr Anand Sharma, on many of his as WTO

negotiations were reprised. We also set up a task force

with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and

arranged overseas investor meets with Minister Kamal Nath.

Mr Kapil Sibal, Minister for Human Resource Development,

launched the CII-BESU Industrial Research, Innovation and

HRD Center in West Bengal. The Skills Development

Mission is gaining momentum.

A CII delegation traveled to Copenhagen for the Summit

on Climate Change, even as Indian business is becoming a

leader in green buildings and renewable energy.

Continuing our CII

accompanied the Prime Minister on his landmark visit

to USA. The annual mission to USA took place soon

after President Obama took charge. The Singapore

mission highlighted the India ASEAN FTA, while

focused missions visited USA, Israel, Egypt, Oman,

Sweden and Saudi Arabia, among other countries. We

also met with the Presidents of Bangladesh, Germany

and Korea, and the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

The annual India Economic Summit celebrated

25 years of partnership between the World Economic

Forum and CII, and drew over 800 participants from

across the globe. The Partnership Summit, held in

Chennai, was addressed by 25 overseas ministers. The

India Africa Project Partnership was held for the sixth

time to great success, and the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas

brought together 1300 overseas Indians. Among other

CII met the Prime Minister along with the

issues facing MSMEs, and presented a detailed set of

recommendations for the development of this sector.

I cannot stress enough how crucial it is to the

overall inclusive growth agenda for industry to integrate

officially undertaking the formulation of a National

Manufacturing Policy, based on our recommendations.

We hope this proposed policy will help industry

overcome the various hurdles that constrain growth.

Mr Tarun Das retired as Chief Mentor this year, after

over four decades of dedicated service to CII. I would

like to acknowledge the immense role he played in

steering CII to its present position. We wish him all the

best and will continue to seek his advice

I am immensely grateful to my colleagues in the

National Council, the chairs of the many councils and

committees, and the Council of Past Presidents for all their

support and hard work during this complex year. Without

their active participation and generous time, CII would not

have been able to maintain its pace of activity. I would

particularly like to express appreciation for Mr Hari Bhartia's

solid support on numerous occasions and fronts.

As my Presidential term ends, I am pleased to note

that the economy is on a stronger wicket. From next

year onwards, we can envisage a return to the

high-growth trajectory. Industry has a major role to

play in India's growth effort and must take the lead in

driving inclusive development.

WHEN I STARTED

policy

my term, the world economy was

in doldrums. Global output had contracted by 2.3%

for the first time since the great Depression,

prompting the worst-ever global economic crisis.

World trade and output are still in the recovery

phase. But I am glad that India seems to have come

out fairly well from the slowdown.

A variety of stimulus packages were put in place

starting from the second half of 2008-09, in the

Interim Budget and again, in the main Budget. By Q2,

the economy showed signs of turning, and in the

2009-10 financial year, India’s GDP expanded by 6.7%.

Various economic indicators have been on the upside,

confirming that the pace of recovery has been

stronger than expected.

Industrial Production growth has turned around,

accelerating to 16.7% YoY in January 2010 compared to

a trough of -0.2% in December 2008. This rebound has

been driven largely by a sharp acceleration in domestic

demand, even though exports are improving, albeit

gradually. The RBI’s aggressive monetary policy

measures are also beginning to gain traction and as a

result, the cost of borrowing is now close to all-time

lows. The RBI’s Financial Stability Report noted that

more Indian banks are healthy and can withstand

unexpected levels of stress. Strong growth was

experienced in consumer durables and automotives, as

well as in capital goods and intermediate goods.

However, the stagnation in consumer non-durables

indicates that industrial revival is yet to be broad based.

strategic issues of national importance with the

regularly interacted with policy-makers and took

initiatives to revamp underperforming sectors. CII and

the manufacturing sector in India, identifying

imperatives for the development of this sector.

Exports from India are recovering rapidly, and in Q4

DURING 2009-10, CII set out with an agenda of

translating the vision of India@75 into action.

Under the focus was

towards building an institutional framework for

industry to get and stay involved in the

development of cities. Workshops on industry-led

models of urban governance were held in

Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Chandigarh, Gurgaon,

Pune, Kolhapur and Madurai. A national

workshop is also contemplated along with the

Planning Commission.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Pvt. Ltd. collaborated

as the knowledge partner and the chosen focus

areas were Inclusive Urbanisation, Skill

Development and Sustainability.

Inclusive Urbanisation,

In the thrust was to build

demonstrable pilots with extensive use of

Information Technology to enhance reach in a

cost effective manner. Some innovative and

experimental initiatives for skill development in

various stages of implementation:

a technology-based training module using

animation and webex tools

Two programmes in retail, and contact

centres, using technology based training

modules. CISCO provided free use of

technology for this pilot

On the front, a larger mission

encompassing environment, social and economic

sustainability, besides reduction of emission

intensity of Indian Industry by 2020, is being

created in sync with the national objectives set by

the Government post the Copenhagen Summit.

Polic

y

CII’s work on economic policy and taxation during the year focused

mainly on suggesting measures to help economic recovery from

the most severe recession in recent global history. Engaging

regularly with the government and RBI on policy related issues, CII

played a proactive role in speeding the recovery process.

ECONOMIC POLICY AND TAXATION

CII TOOK A LEADERSHIP ROLE in representing the

views and suggestions of industry to the

government and the RBI to help reverse the

deepening slowdown during the global financial

crisis. This involved comprehensive and sustained

policy advocacy to the government on monetary

and fiscal issues. A large number of measures

suggested by CII found resonance in policies that

were aimed at tackling the slowdown.

Once the economy started exhibiting signs of

bottoming out in the second quarter of last year,

the challenge was to sustain and accelerate the

recovery momentum. By monitoring industry and

the economy closely, and identifying emerging

concerns, CII has been active in ensuring a faster

pace of economic recovery. Our pre-Budget

memorandum 2010-11 stressed on continuation

of fiscal stimuli until the economy returned to

self sustainable growth momentum,

accompanied by a sharp reduction in fiscal

deficit. In line with these broad suggestions,

Budget 2010-11 announced an extension of most

fiscal stimulus measures along with substantial

reduction in fiscal deficit for the current year. CII

has also been advocating a soft monetary policy

until the economy recovers completely. RBI has

kept in mind industry concerns while framing

monetary tightening policies.

Besides helping the economy march back to

recovery, CII’s policy work on economy and

taxation last year also encompassed the Direct

Taxes Code (DTC) and Goods and Services Tax

(GST). A comprehensive memorandum

covering broad recommendations of industry

on the draft DTC was submitted to the

government. In addition, we organised

ANNUAL REVIEW 09/10

I n t e r n a t i o n a l T r a d e

2009-10 WAS A VERY eventful year for India’s

external sector. The precipitous fall in India’s

exports demand, which began during the latter

part of 2008-09, continued until October 2009.

This sharp drop brought about a rethink among

policy makers, about India’s globalisation

strategy and the new line of thinking shifted

towards diversification of India’s exports market

and exports basket.

The Foreign Trade Policy, announced in August

2009, had imprints of this new line of thinking. In

an attempt to arrest the exports slowdown, the

Government announced the addition of 26 new

countries under the Focus Markets scheme and

increased incentives for exports to the emerging

markets of Africa and Latin America.

purpose. The is a practical

tool that can be used in a number of ways, as a

gauge for self- assessment by measuring the

current status and thus identify the gaps to

stimulate solutions; a framework to position various

HR initiatives and identify gaps; and as the basis to

develop common understanding of various terms

used in HR Management.

'Turning Crisis into Opportunity: Role of

Governance and Reform’ to mark its

in March 2009 in New Delhi. Speakers

from across the spectrum, while acknowledging

the depth and gravity of the prevailing global

economic crisis, felt that challenges could indeed

be converted into opportunities supported by

timely reforms and strong governance.

Dr D Subbarao, Governor, RBI, felt that there

were enough reasons for optimism of revival in

India, based on strong growth fundamentals, but

warned that painful adjustments were inevitable.

Indian industry must think long-term to emerge

competitive through the slowdown, advised

Dr Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman,

Planning Commission. He suggested that the new

government should try to maintain India’s growth

performance with a well-calibrated economic

policy to minimise pain and ease recovery.

Dr Arvind Virmani, Chief Economic Advisor,

Ministry of Finance, said the country needs to move

still faster on market reforms, and fiscal policy has

to address the demand problem of slowdown.

CII-EXIM Bank Award for

Business Excellence 2009

Our flagship event – the Quality Summit – was held

in New Delhi in December 2009. Mr. Arun Maira,

Member, Planning Commission, inaugurating the

Summit, spoke of the need for leadership to

complement a resurgent India. Local bodies, he

said, should not just be empowered but also given

freedom and powers to play a proactive role in the

present competitive and challenging environment.

In his keynote address, Mr. K N Shenoy,

Chairman, CII-IQ cautioned against undisciplined

growth, overlooking of risk, grasping for salvation

and capitulation to irrelevance and debt. Over 400

industry captains, domain experts and quality

professionals joined the deliberations to chart

out a road map for a resurgent India.

Mr. Shashi Tharoor, then Minister of State for

External Affairs, delivered the valedictory address.

Two MoUs were signed by CII-IQ, one with the

European Foundation for Quality Management to

further refine the journey of Business Excellence,

and the other with Shell India to launch a Safe

Fleet Initiative for Indian roads.

Over the past 17 years, the Excellence Model

has been a blueprint for CII members and

organisations across India to develop a culture of

excellence. The

was presented during

the Quality Summit to 23 large business

organisations and their operating units and four

SMEs for ‘Strong Commitment to Excel.’ Eight

organisations were recognized for ‘Significant

Achievement’ while Bosch Ltd, Diesel Systems

Business, Bangalore, bagged the coveted Award

Trophy this year. Over 200 CII trained assessors

participated in the Award Assessment process.

To commemorate its eighth anniversary, CII-IQ

honoured three personalities for their outstanding

leadership and contribution to the application of the

Quality philosophy: Mr. G Madhavan Nair, Chairman,

Indian Space Research Organisation,

Mr. B Muthuraman, Managing Director, Tata Steel

a conscious effort to promote industrial

development. Here, the approach is to form a

cluster of 10/12 SMEs and help them grow together

by learning through sharing. The clusters are

sectoral, locational or OEM-vendor. The cluster

approach aims at improving competitiveness in an

associated group rather than in discrete companies.

The Centre has so far successfully completed

70 such clusters impacting 574 companies across

sectors at Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Faridabad,

Gurgaon, Jaipur, Vadodara, Pune, Nashik,

Kolhapur and Jamshedpur. The various clusters

completed in 2009 generated 22,282 kaizens, and

the total saving achieved by the participating

companies was around Rs 69.7 crores!

Competition were the highlights of the Summit.

So far, approximately 1889 SMEs have either

their competitiveness through 170 Clusters

formed by CII and its strategic partners. In 2009

alone, the Centre started 19 new clusters

covering almost all regions of the country,

directly impacting more than 702 companies.

The Quality Assurance Association of UK (a UK

Government Agency) visited the

programme in India and

acknowledged it as ‘Very Good’.The Warwick

Manufacturing Group, too, has, in a letter of

appreciation, acknowledged that the programme

held in India was the best administered among

all its overseas centres.

By August 2010, the Visionary Leaders for

Manufacturing (VLFM) Programme would have

created a community of 306 managers skilled to

transform over 90 companies that they are

working with, or leading. The process of

transformation has already begun. Over the last

three years, the participating companies have

reported 81 success stories in the following areas:

New Product Development including a new

product for the Bottom of the Pyramid

(Chotu Kool)

New Businesses (one single company got new

business of Rs.120 million per annum)

New Business Processes leading to reduction

in manufacturing costs (one company saved

over Rs 6 crores in 6 months)

Personal Transformation

New Business Development

These success stories have been documented

in a series of four publications.

VLFM has also developed intellectual

property through a set of seven textbooks,

manuals and monologues based on the

sessions conducted by Japanese experts.

Engineering

Business Management Programme, University of

Warwick, UK


At the 2nd Annual Session in Mumbai, 48

participants of Batch 2 of the VLFM Programme and 6

participants of the pilot batch of the V

received their certificates. The

2nd Learning Convention saw the alumni share their

successes, while the current batch presented their

findings of a project undertaken for the Planning

Commission. The research for the project titled ‘What

is required to build India’s innovation eco system’ was

conducted using the Five Step Discovery Process and

other concepts taught in the VLFM Programme.

The VSME Programme is being recast this

year on the lines of the Japanese Keiretsu. The

2nd Batch of the programme was launched in

December 2009, with the Anand Group taking the

lead in building a new model of vendor

development. Forty participants from 23

companies are currently undergoing the one year

programme in Pune.

The year also saw the launch of the Visionary

CEOs programme, with faculty including

Mr. Ushikubo, Chairman, Sanden Corp, Japan, and

Prof. Shoji Shiba. Dr. V Krishnamurthy, Chairman,

National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council

(NMCC), Mr V Govindarajan, Member Secretary,

NMCC, and Mr B Prasada Rao, Chairman, BHEL,

also participated in the launch.

In 2009-10, after the Joint Terminal Evaluation

of the programme conducted by the

Governments of Japan and India, all

stakeholders agreed that the programme had

successfully achieved many of the objectives it

had set out to achieve. The Evaluation Team

recommended an extension of support by two

years to make the programme sustainable.

three diseases are responsible for at least six

million deaths per year, and the number of

victims is increasing exponentially. HIV/AIDS,

TB and malaria pandemics take their highest

toll in developing countries, causing up to 30

times more damage than in wealthy nations.

The findings of our operational research survey

were fed into the

country paper presented at the Global WHO TB

meeting on ’Business Engagement in TB and

TB/HIV Care and Control‘ in October 2009 in

Geneva. CII collated information on the efforts

and contributions by the business sector to TB

and HIV associated TB care and control. A

workplace self-assessment tool has been

designed for companies to evaluate their

responses to TB and HIV epidemics.

This year, 5 January 2010 was earmarked as

‘Goodwill Day’ for the Physically Challenged at

the Auto Expo 2010. CII organized the visit of

about 120 physically challenged persons from

four institutes: the Akshar Paristhan School,

Indian Spinal Injuries, SOS Village and Vocational

Rehabilitation Centre for the Handicapped.

Several other physically challenged persons also

visited the Expo independently.

The visit enabled the participants to interact

with the exhibitors and create awareness of their

needs among industry. They discussed issues

regarding introducing disabled friendly cars with

Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Tata Motors.

The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation started the

Motorized Vehicle Scheme for the Disabled in

1992, under which a motorized vehicle specially

designed to suit the needs of people with

physical disability of the lower limbs is awarded

to select individuals across the country. Six CII

member organizations donated such vehicles

through the distribution programme this year.

RURAL WATER MANAGEMENT

Corporate initiatives currently underway in

Dungarpur include:

Agri Extension

Improved rural livelihoods through increased

rainwater conservation and use efficiency

Establishment of NRDMS (Natural Resource

Data Management System) centre

IT training to school teachers

E-Chopal for providing market access to

agricultural produce

information kiosk (Gramin Vikas Rath)

Agriculture risk-mitigating mechanism to

reduce the overall vulnerability of poor

farmers in the District

Agricultural Development and Agri Business

Promotion of onion farming as a cash crop to

improve rural livelihood of poor tribal farmers

Our initiatives for rural water resource management

target different water typologies such as hard rock

areas, groundwater regimes, drought prone areas,

high rainfall areas, coastal regions, backward tribal

areas, etc. to evolve methodologies for assessing

sustainability and capability building of local

communities for equitable and sustainable water

management. Cropping choices and improved

irrigation and crop management are an integral part

of these initiatives. Assessing energy gaps in the

availability of public supply of water for agriculture

and addressing these gaps through area level

management systems and renewable energy is a

major focus area.

CII has forged partnerships with organisations

like the Gram Gourav Pratisthan for community

mobilization and institutions building, Advanced

Centre for Water Resource Development and

Management( ) for groundwater

hydrogeology and management models, and

International Crop Research Institute for Semi

ACWADAM

Arid Tropics ( ) for watershed based

agricultural systems. In partnership with these

organisations, we offer a comprehensive package

for land and water management in rural areas.

Some on-going projects include

Pondhe micro watershed model project near

Pune for Aquifer Management by the local

community

Revival and rehabilitation of community lift

irrigation schemes in District Ganjam, Orissa

Bhigwan project near Pune for management

of irrigation systems (canals) by farmers

Continuing to showcase the opportunity and

dialogue towards evolving a framework for Indian

Good Agricultural Practices (Indo-GAP). Over 175

knowledge dissemination activities were

undertaken across 11 states, reaching over

11000 farmers. Rural school students in over 65

secondary schools were educated on latest

Two very successful national Agromax

conferences were held in Guwahati, Assam and in

Hissar, Haryana. Together, these events drew close

to 4000 young farmers and involved 5 State

Governments, 9 Agricultural Universities and many

agribusiness corporates. Farmers were also

provided with commodity prices, crop advisories and
