Kshitij Shinghal, Amit Saxena, Rajul Misra

Abstract


In this period of global crisis no country is left unaffected from the cruel clutches of SARS CORONA Virus including India. If we analyses duration of this pandemic spread we will find that even the most developed countries having advanced medical facilities were facing a shortage of medical equipment’s, medical supplies, innovations and technology to fight and diminish the effect of Novel CORONA Virus. This paper explores the idea through a case study when each country was capable and had enough potential to produce/manufacture sufficient medical equipment’s, where was the gap, what was the reason for the shortage/deficit in production, although each country had enough manufacturing capabilities. In this paper questionnaire-based survey was carried out in the Moradabad city to find answers for the above questions. Moradabad city is popular for manufacturing metal handicraft products with large number of small to medium scale industries and 3 universities and two engineering colleges, therefore ideal to carry out proposed survey. The survey was conducted for local entrepreneurs/businessman and the students of local engineering colleges. The results of the survey were carefully recorded and analysed to identify the gap that exists between local businessman and young talented students / scientists / researchers to find out the reasons for shortfall in manufacturing technology based solutions to fight pandemics.
