Privatize the manufacturing, science is one subject that is never good to privatize, they should be independent not managed. Should a MBA manage a PhD? It sounds foolish because MBA are not qualified to understand the science subject.

Business is for drunks, loafers, but science is for people with active, creative mind. Science should never be privatized because it does not benefit science. Would you work for an idiot, Maybe for the nation?. Science cannot be half as$ for profit, as that what happens you get imperfection, not perfection, and by bribe it is pass off as perfection. No incentive to be perfect in business cost too much money/time,
As to why quality deteriorates, and science deteriorates.

Yes I agree. Those who are the leaders of the private sector are mainly uneducated people. Those who are brillant students, they do not get a chance in the private sector, which is restricted for the relatives of the owner or current managers who are also relatives of the owner. Private sector is the most corrupt part of the country. They have stolen Billions and Billions from every banks and never pay anything back.
Science cannot be developed by the private sector. How many private sector companies have a Research & Development division. They only buy technology from abroad.

But I had lot of dreams abt. DRDO before joiining
