GUWAHATI: The 4th Regional Quality Conclave (RQC) by Quality Council of India & FICCI was held at the NEDFi Convention Centre, Guwahati on Wednesday. The theme of the Conclave was “Quality for Manufacturing Competitiveness”.

In his speech, Capoor said, “No country has progressed in the last decade as much as India. To maintain the economic growth, we have to focus on quality in the process of manufacturing. We should not only check the quality after the product is manufactured, but we should ensure quality while the process is going on.

Capoor further added, “For instance, if we can ensure that the tea produced in Assam is of the best quality, then it will bring a huge economic change. The need of the hour is to build a good eco-system of quality control. We need to train the new entrepreneurs and imbibe a sense of quality within.”

The Contribution of manufacturing to our country’s GDP is huge.
