History of Electronics India
Electronics India's birth as an industry came about in the 1940's when the country began to manufacture radio receivers with foreign assistance. Electronics India was a labor intensive industry in the 1970's. The Department of Electronics was created in 1971 by the Indian government to help the nation to become competitive in the electronics industry worldwide and to have diversified electronics applications.
