QUALITY CIRCLES IN INDIA

Took more than two decades for the quality controlconcept to get acceptance in India, after its introductionin Japan

Due to the differences in the industrial context in the

two countries. Japan needed it for its survival in acompetitive market

India had a reasonably protected, sellers market, withconsequent lethargy towards efforts to improve qualityand productivity

However, with the policy of liberalization of economy andprivatization of infrastructure development, contextschanged. The concept now needs to be looked upon as anecessity.
