In an interview with FE's Vikram Chaudhary, he shares how to attract students to a career in manufacturing. Excerpts:

How can we attract students to pursue jobs in manufacturing?

We must make manufacturing exciting, aspirational, rewarding. The 'making culture' is not so prevalent in India. Initiatives like Atal Tinkering Labs can generate interest among students.
