]]> German IT major SAP has joined hands with Anand-based dairy pioneer Amul for a community outreach program, ‘Code Unnati’, under its Corporate Social Responsibility. Both companies will work together on knowledge transfer and technology capacity building in the country.

SAP aims to transform the lives of 1.5 million people by enabling social entrepreneurship, skill development, and digital inclusion among people of different ages, women and farmers.

RS Sodhi, Managing Director of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, Ltd, (Amul), shared his thoughts on the initiative,” Over 66 per cent of India’s population lives in rural areas. Most of the rural population who lives in India depends on agriculture, animal husbandry, and dairying for their livelihood. With an objective of inclusive and sustainable community development, Amul and SAP has joined the project. Under the project, quality digital literacy and skill interventions training imparted to school-going children and teachers.”

“Our collaboration with SAP is a step forward in bringing these rural communities into the mainstream by empowering them to hone essential future skills and turn their dreams into a reality. Our hope is that it will go a long way in nation-building and creating an Atmanirbhar India,” he added.

As per the release, SAP has remained a long term IT partner of Amul. Hence working together on a social cause is a natural extension for both. As a result, companies have jointly worked on a digitally inclusive ecosystem to impart knowledge in computers, English, and socio-economic opportunities.

Companies together will accomplish their commitment to innovation and a healthy environment.

Four Key pillars of the campaign:

  • Digital Literacy: Companies will provide digital literacy, coding, problem-solving and spoken English training in remote villages as per the New Education Policy
  • Vocational Training: SAP will build a STEM-focused learning environment to help students from underprivileged backgrounds for a better school to workforce transition. The company will focus on reducing school dropouts and creating an employable talent pool by encouraging critical reasoning and analytical thinking
  • Women empowerment and developing entrepreneurship training: Rural women will be given entrepreneurial opportunities. It aims at imparting digital financing skills and functional communications to 20000 young women
  • Support Farmer livelihoods: The company is keen on improving biodiversity, reducing soil erosion and increasing green cover. For this, it will provide livilhood options to farmers and their families

Kulmeet Bawa, President, and Managing Director, SAP Indian Subcontinent, said, “Technology can act as a catalyst in shaping India’s journey to an inclusive and sustainable economy. While urban development projects such as smart cities and futuristic mobility are reflective of this potential, the true progress of India lies in the development of her villages. Our work with Amul is an expansion of this vision and will provide citizens with the information and tools they need to succeed. As

India continues to lead global action on sustainability, collaboration like ours will also provide the critical foundation for an inclusive and resilient future in which no one is left behind.” he added. ‘

SAP and Amul have collaborated with Pratham Foundation to impart digital literacy to one lakh school going students and over 20000 adults across 70 villages of Anand and in six other districts of Gujarat.

]]> Despite the economic effect of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as lockdowns, loss of labour, supply chain crisis, India’s mobile phone exports are expected to cross the Rs 43,500 crore mark in the current financial year.

According to the India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA), mobile phone exports have increased up to 75 per cent from Rs 24,000 crore in 2020-21 to Rs 42,000 in just 11 months this year.

ICEA chairman Pankaj Mohindroo “After an uncertain start in 2020, owing to multiple Covid waves, the industry stabilized operations in 2021 and has delivered results that exceed expectations. Increase in mobile phone exports also marks an important shift in the export basket which is gradually transforming from primary commodities to more value-added, high-end products driven by technology industries.”

He gave credit to the government-industry partnership under Production Linked Incentive Scheme ( PLI ) for large scale electronics manufacturing that helped keep the industry afloat under the most trying circumstances.

He said, ” Government-led with its vision and trust in the mobile industry. The industry, in turn, has redefined Atmanirbhar Bharat as Make in India for the World. We are just getting started.”

PLI Driven Growth

The government’s flagship PLI scheme has helped shift global value chains to India and also acquire a substantial share in exports in the global market.

Earlier, mobile phones manufactured in India were majorly exported to South Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. However, the government’s industry-friendly policies boosted confidence in manufacturers to enter more competitive markets in Europe and Asia.

“These markets demand the highest levels of quality, and manufacturing units located in India are up to the task,” ICEA said.

The growth is driven by major smartphones companies such as Samsung, Apple, Foxconn Hon Hai, Rising Star, Wistron and Pegatron and Indian champions, including Lava, Bhagwati (Micromax), Padget Electronics, UTL Neolyncs and Optiemus Electronics, entering India via PLI scheme.

Under the Smartphone PLI Scheme, the government has allocated Rs 40,951 crore between 2020-21 and 2025-26, where participating companies can choose any five years out of the six years to meet their production targets.

]]> In a first, India has achieved its good export target crossing $400 Billion nine days ahead of schedule, which is a whopping rise from last year’s exports that stood at $292 Billion in 2020-21.

On Monday, reportedly, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said that India will clock around $410 billion of goods exports in FY22, higher than the $400 billion aimed despite the “problems in the Northern part of Europe and Asia”.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter to applaud this huge achievement; he wrote, “India set an ambitious target of $400 Billion of goods exports and achieves this target for the first time ever. I congratulate our farmers, weavers, MSMEs, manufacturers, exporters for this success. This is a key milestone in our Aatmanirbhar Bharat journey.”

PM’s Tweet

While India maintained an average of $30 Billion exports for 11 consecutive months, it registered the highest ever monthly merchandise exports of $39.3 Billion in December 2021.

Giving credit to PM Modi’s call for the #LocalGoesGlobal initiative, Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal tweeted, “PM Narendra Modi Ji’s clarion call of #LocalGoesGlobal is a reality. Under your visionary leadership, India has scripted history by achieving an ambitious target of $400 Billion of goods export within a single year. Make in India lion is roaring aloud across the world.

As per the government data, petroleum products, electronic goods, engineering goods, leather, coffee, plastic, ready-made garments of all textiles, meat and dairy products, marine products, and tobacco have remained the key sectors for exports. While wheat, rice, marine products, sugar, and spice are the top agricultural products, India has become a major global supplier of food & essential agriculture products.

The government of India shared a short video on MyGovIndia social media on this new milestone.

This year’s blockbuster exports in India is a result of PM Modi’s call for the #LocalGoesGlobal under Atmanirbhar Bharat.
