Explorations in Making Programme of Full Capacity Utilisation

It ia a painful reflection on our technical competence in the understanding and management of our economic affairs that after a planning of a decade and a half we find ourselves saddled with a substantial amount of unutilised capacity in various industries. In the situation a two pronged research action is warranted. First and foremost it is necessary to get an estimate of unutilised capacity in each and every industry of the economy, and secondly to devise programmes that will lead to utilisation of capacities in such a way that the problem is not aggravated in future by creating some capacities which may not be utilisable in future due to lack of sufficient demand for their output.
