Roadmap to UQE in India1. Declare and communicate UQE in India as a top national priority.

2. Publish a roadmap to UQE with measurable milestones and a deadline (2047 is suggested based on data)

3. Build capacity of partnering organizations already engaged in community development.

4. Drive projects and innovate wherever necessary.

5. Define metrics of progress (identify tangible and intangible components to socio-economic progress)

6. Establish decentralised but coordinated zonal structures in India

7. Evolve and install Asha internal processes that support the long term objective.

8. Facilitate UQE in the smaller Indian states like Sikkim, Manipur early on (generate early results, earn credibility, infect with excitement, lead with momentum.)

9. Invite all partnering organizations to express support to the UQE mission and collaborate.

10. To leverage, impact children segment-wise, offering high quality, deep solutions (eg. Disabled, sex worker, street, laborers, rural, tribal, diseased)

11. Measure progress of Indo people to target on every August 15th (move with sense of urgency, take over the mind share from depressing gloom-doom news)

12. Communicate required run-rate effectively, as one team with one voice, until UQE mission is achieved through diverse media – magazines,online,TV, radio-encourage India-wide teamwork.
