While considerable efforts are being made in this direction, the fact remains that we still have a long way to go before we can catch up with advanced countries.
- The need of the hour is a common forum, for quality on a country-wide basis. Through this forum, an acceleration in the pace of progress of the national quality and reliability movement could be achieved knowledge – could be easily shared, experiences exchanged and a broader national perspective evolved.
