Role of Mechanical Engineering in ‘Make in India’

One of the basic branches of engineering, mechanical engineering, whose fundamental principles are used everywhere in the design, development, and construction of the devices and systems. It is not only now but from the ancient time, they are the most required engineers in the world. From automobiles to factories machineries for building construction, road construction, agriculture, etc. They are the one who conceptualize design of any product to be manufactured. They develop, test and manufacture the contemporary machinery. They are often known as manufacturing engineers as they are the one who are specialised in manufacturing machineries including robotics from the design, selection of materials, specifications to the development of production processes and equipments. They are responsible for plant layout, production planning and control, also plant maintenance.

Mechanical Engineering students can opt for the employment in any type of manufacturing industry such as aerospace, railway coach factory, metal producing plants, automobile, chemical manufacturing plants in private sectors. They can also get an opportunity in public sector units like SAIL, GAIL, BHEL, Electricity Board, and Indian Railway. Classic examples of the work in which mechanical engineers deal with are the manufacturing of automobiles, aircrafts, turbines, robotics, agriculture machinery etc.

Mechanical Engineering cannot be ignored and they are always in demand in the developing world. As there is a lot of development going in India, the mechanical engineers are always in the high demand. Let me give some facts of employed mechanical engineers in India:

• Machinery Manufacturing                                      13%
• Computer and electronic product manufacturing 7%
• Transportation Equipment Manufacturing          12%
• Architectural, engineering and related services  22%
• Scientific research and development services   7%

Government of India initiative “Make in India”

To enhance the stake of manufacturing in GDP of India from 16 percent to 25 percent by 2025, the government of India ambitious initiative to attract foreign manufacturing enterprises as well as from domestic origin to set up the manufacturing entities in India. As manufacturing is one of the highest employment generating sector, focus is being on capacity up-gradation, skill development hence industrial development. Considering ‘Make-in-India1 and achieving this target, the government of India has also implemented the policies which ease of doing the business in Indiawith decrease in red-tapism, good governance and scaling up infrastructural development to increase the role of mechanical engineering.

So, if you are thinking of career in Mechanical Engineering, get the admission in one of the best Mechanical Engineering College in Delhi NCR, this year and be a part of ‘Make in India’ project.
