Upcoming Trends
The future belong to LNG and Gas. The alternate energies like wind and Solar energies can supplement the Energy needs. How ever the Oil and Gas is such an important field, only automation and Optimization can make impact on the Industry.
My prospective on India technical development
The responsibility lies with with the Government at the Centre. Instead of promoting the Swadeshi industry the Government and Big Business groups want only to do Trading in the country, It is unfortunate. No outsider will come here for Charity or to promote our Industry. The Government is aware but it does not bother about the country in any manner.

No outsider will come here for Charity or to promote our Industry. The Government is aware but it does not bother about the country in any manner.Our Dependency on Liberalization and Foreign Investment will bring down our Economy.Govt is moving out of Industry in the name of disinvestment. It has already made Education and Medical commercial. We have big market. We don't need to Export.Let us import only what we need. We have every thing to meet our people requirements Let us encourage manufacturing and this will create more wealth and jobs. Let there be rationalization of salaries among various category of workers. The Government more creates problems than it solves.Let there more employment than more salaries.Where needed we can buy Technology. Our Trade deficit one of the biggest. Government is interested in Corruption. Let us encourage Co-operative farming to reduce farming costs.

Advice to professionals
Oil and gas is very important Industry. One has to get trained while working and cant afford to make mistakes. Safety is very important and this always should be in mind. learn from Seniors and colleagues.Team work is important.
