National Productivity Council, an Autonomous
body under Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Ministry of
Commerce & Industry, Government of India was established on 12th
February, 1958, with the objective of stimulating and promoting productivity
and quality consciousness across all sectors in the country. With the
Government’s focus on Make In India, the need for accelerated growth through
higher productivity and quality has never been felt more. The ongoing process
of liberalization and globalization of the Indian economy makes it imperative
to re-double our efforts towards enhancing productivity for competitiveness and
making it a mass-movement.

celebrated as the ‘National Productivity Week’ every year. The theme chosen for
this year’s observance is “From Waste to Profits-through Reduce, Recycle and
Reuse”. Departmental Secretaries, PSU’s, Industry Associations, Autonomous
