Delivering his special address as the Chief Guest at The Machinist Super Shopfloor 2015 Awards, Shri Kalraj Mishra, Union Minister of MSME, said that innovation and quality form the crux of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ‘Make in India' campaign.

"Equally important are the parameters of productivity and sustainability. Make in India is all about Zero Defect and Zero Effect," he said. "If we are to make India a global manufacturing hub then it is critical that these parameters are adhered to. I am glad that these parameters are being highlighted through this Awards platform.
