This is completely true. In a country like ours, where agriculture is the foundation of our GDP, agricultural perfection should be pushed for. There are a lost of issues in the agricultural industry in India. 70% of our GDP is from thr rural are because of agriculture, but more than half of these rural areas have acute irrigation and power problems. These two are biggest technologies they need for agriculture, but because of the distorted distribution channels of various govts, they normally end up never getting it out. If six sigma was enforced on these distribution channels there would be different result than what the present is. On a similar note, the Gujarat govt has innovated a bit and come up with this model, Jyotigram Yojna, where the govt has pioneerind the management of electricity and groundwater found nowhere else inthe world. Electricity us is intelligently managed by having separate feeders for agriculture and non agriculture use. This allows power to be rationed at 8 hours a day at set time for agriculture and provides 24 hours for domestic, commercial and industrial use.

Mr Mishra is right. To understand Six Sigma, you should study the companies that have implemented them. There are lots of such companies in India too. Bharti Enterprises is a shining example of Six Sigma actually. Not only have the orchestrated a flawless business, they have even been one of th biggest innovators of the century. Bharti Enterprises got about the telecom revolution in India. Think of those Bharti telephone boxes we saw inour homes in the 70's-80's and then the beetel phones. STD calls, followed by the mobile phone revolution. All of this has been Bharti's innovation in India. Bharti has even won an Innovation for India award from Marico Innovation foundation for this!
