Instead of leashing out on IT industry if Mr.Naik can do some introspection on why L&T was paying so pathatically few years back it will be better. Engineers in core sector also need money to survive. If IT sector is paying it's imperetive that people wil join those companies. More automation / increased production and better salary could have served L7T better then leashing out on other who pay.

Mr AM Naik is very correct when he lashes out at IT sector for hijacking engineers. Any nation can become a super power only if it has the four fundementals right and strong. 1)Manufacturing 2)Agriculture 3)Defence 4)Medicine.
By resorting to software services we are actually cutting our nations future. Well money is important,but great nations have focussed policies for overall development. In India any way we are predominantly doing only software patch works. May be because of dollar exchange rates they were relativily getting higher salaries. So i would advise you to get your over all concepts right before you dare to comment on leaders like AM Naik. I also would like to remind you that philipines,Brazil,Argentina,Sri Lanka & Egypt are getting into IT bandwagon in a big way. China has started developing IT services at a vey low cost. So it is only a matter of time before this IT bubble explodes. Engineering is the only long standing bulkwark of progress. Honestly tell me one IT product developed in India which is of global repute like say oracle, C, C , VB, Java etc. None is the true answer.

Whatever you say about It sector may be correct but that does not absolve so called leaders like "Naik" and pother captains of indian industry. Till late 90s they were paying peanuts and at the same time IT arrived and sucked engineers by the time they realized that young talent can not be taken for granted it was too later and rot was set in. Indian manufacturing industry payed no attention to R&D till late 90s till they were pushed to wall by MNC onslaught so engineers were redundent and Graduate Engineering tranees were payed peanuts while managers got fat salary. Though most of the young starry eyed engineers wanted to work in core sector but pathatic salaries forced them out. I remember that in 1993 my elder sister who was an electrical engineer went to Mahindra and mahindra for a job interviw and they asked her preference she said R&D and interview panel laughed that there is no such activity in Indian auto industry. read any automobiles forum for tata safari and scorpio there are numerous complaints in these vehicals from the date tehy are launched but the companies have put in little or no effort to rectify, Compare there vehicals with toyota innova in same price range and you will find what R&D means
