Comments: Introduction of items manufactured by ESM Enterpreuners is favourably processed by CSD India. The cost of brochure is only 20% compared to MNC's and other Industrial Giants. The least CSD India can do for the ESM is to hand out the printed brochure free, and certainly it will not drain their profits even marginally. The employment of ESM, in the largely civilian dominated organisation, is minimal. The customer service at Depot levels needs to be modernised as still the remnants of Babu Bureaucracy reigns supreme in the vital commercial organisation catering to the welfare of the Defence Forces.

Indian defense minister urges networking

NEW DELHI, Jan. 30 (UPI) Indian Defense Minister Shri AK Antony is calling on India's private and public sectors to pool resources for defense research and development.

Antony addressed a crowd of defense industry professionals Tuesday at the National Seminar on Defense R&D and Technology Management. Antony urged audience members to increase collaboration to ensure that India's research establishments produce state-of-the-art products.

"The variables which impact our defense preparedness and threat assessments, including regional and global political dynamics, are in a state of continuous flux, forcing us to constantly reassess threats to our security," Antony said in a statement.

Antony cited the recent Society of Defense Technologists' contributions towards pooling of technological resources by organizing seminars and workshops among other events. He called on the audience to network in order to address India's greater defense goals.

"As we increasingly globalize and cooperate across international borders for the development and production of defense products, as the number of entities involved in defense material production and management grow rapidly, and as the number of players, particularly from the private sector, increase with the introduction of the off-set policy, it becomes all the more important that all players are enabled to network effectively," Antony said.
