Kailashnathan also underscored the wider importance of quality in all sectors of life, echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s call for \u201cZero defect, zero effect.\u201d Quality, he said, is not an option but a necessity. He praised certification mechanisms such as ISI, Hallmark, Agmark and Eco Label for instilling public trust and protecting citizens\u2019 rights to safe and reliable products. Appreciating organisations like BIS and the Quality Council of India, he noted that as India grows from the world\u2019s fourth-largest economy towards becoming the third, the \u201cMade in India\u201d brand must stand for uncompromising quality.<\/p>\n
Kailashnathan stressed that quality must extend beyond industry to education, healthcare, food, water, and the environment, achieved through collaboration among industry, research institutions and government.<\/p>\n
Earlier, SD Dayanand, scientist-F and head of BIS Chennai Branch Office, emphasised bridging knowledge with application to create strategies that enhance quality, safety and sustainability.<\/p>\n
