SEMAINE D'ÉTUDE SUR LE ROLE DE L’ANALYSE ECONOMETRIOUE ETC. ill engineers and technical personnel is essential for economic development. It is necessary to establish and broaden the base of primary and secondary education and to establish technical and scientific institutions and increase their number rapidly. The most serious difficulty is the lack of trained and ex perienced teachers at all levels. To build up a sound founda- ‘ion for the outturn of technical personnel would take a great deal of time; it is a much more slowly maturing process than establishing heavy machine building, steel, heavy electrical or heavy chemical industries. Perspective planning is indispens- able, and it is necessary to have targets twenty years or more in advance. Scientific and technical manpower: From about 1955 a great deal of attention is being given in India to the question of technical manpower. The method used for estimating the requirements of technical personnel is simple and straightfor- ward. Information relating to manufacturing industries for the reference period 1956 was collected as a part of the National Sample Surveys and was analysed in detail to ascertain the number of professional and technical workers (including engi- neers and scientists) employed in manufacturing industries. Estimates for a number of selected industries are given in Table 3 in the form of percentages of total employment (that is, number of engaged persons) in different industries. Separate figures are given in col. (2) for the proportion of professional, technical and associated workers taken together, in col. (3) for the proportion of engineers, architects and surveyors, and in col. (4) for the proportion of scientists including chemists, phy- sicists, geologists and other physical scientists. There are wide variations in requirements of professional and technical personnel or of engineers or scientists from one industry to another. In chemicals, and aircraft assembling and repair, the proportion of professional and technical staff is about 10 per cent. The chemical industries, naturally, re- quire 5 per cent of scientists (no doubt, mostly chemists) anc v5] Mahalanobis II - pag. 15
