Since the “Make in India” initiative has been stressed, it is very important to increase the payment of the workers in the manufacturing sector so as to encourage the employees to produce their own goods and generate revenue within the country.

The manufacturing sector needs to grow exponentially in order to achieve success. Compensation is the main factor that attracts the people to work for any industry. If both the IT sector and the manufacturing sector grow simultaneously then India will be at its great heights in a few years.
