NOTE

I was and am thrilled seeing the varied topics and the nice articles contributed by

the promising youth of this great nation .

I was not planning to write in this book. Had the dream of a book totally by

YOUTH. I am writing this as I am not able to hold the spirit or feeling of jotting-

down a bit.

This is a result of my Holiday SHIKSHA Sessions and the interaction that I had

with the Youth in India from North-Hamirpur to South-Thiruvananthapuram for

the past few years.

Writing Vision-Mission-Action will make the youth at least to think in that

direction, and may be a spark of getting the Self into the Leadership of this great

nation with Value, Wisdom and Commitment is generated.

I do hope each individual in this country turns to be citizens of dignity in this

great nation.

I thought of giving the idea thrown to YOUTH and wanted them to take-up the

task of making the book. Unfortunate that, youth of India is so busy with lot of

pressure from parents, media and what not?

Youth with freedom are the one who created revolutions in History. They need to

have the freedom like a kite. The string that the parents hold is to make their fly

safe. Make the youth to go to higher heights.

Keeping them active is important. Today’s Youth are so dynamic and good with

multimedia-virutal-knowledge around. They can make a huge horizon.

Creating Dream and Positive Thinking, specially that in Action : As shown by

Swamy Vivekananda was tried with those contributed. My inputs in each essay was

for Creating National Feeling, Leadership In Action.

3


Writing in specific format and to the required length is an art. Few of them were

not able to stick to this. I was forced to take-up the task of editing and layout to

printing. Though youth is fully on digital, with repeated reminders too some of the

contributors haven’t fulfilled the needed data for the book.

All these are defects that are to be rectified and I feel it is my failure that I am

not able to make it foolproof in the desired time.

Guess this Pre-Publication Release will be an eye-opening action for the

contributors in updating the data and also motivation to those who are waiting to

contribute. Expected to bring out the full version of this book in the nearest

future.

There are many to be thanked for their contributions. But special are the effort

of Durga Anusha in supporting collecting essays and editing a few. Srikanth was

special in driving the Cover and the Title in this present form. Thank you for all

those made SHIKSHA to create this collection. Special Thanks to Prof. U M

Chaudhary, Principal, Aurora’s Engineering College - Bhuvanagiri for all the

Support.

With all the very best wishes on this YOUTH DAY, for all YOUTH to have

Creative, Productive and BLISSFUL days ahead.

UNFORTUNATE AND IT IS MY FAILURE that I am NOT able to MARKET

this. Waited so long for the (ACTIVE?) for their initiative and today (22nd

march 2013) thought of posting e0-version in this UNFINISHED style on my

BLOG.

THE SUSTAINABLE INDIA

The India a peaceful place to live, this is what I want

India to be, and ‘a place to live’ means a lot. It should be self-

sustained, self-sufficient, self-disciplined, in all aspects of life.

With a huge knowledge base, military base, talent base it should

be the most happening country in the world. With sustainable

ways of life, it should have enough water, food, and work

throughout the year. India should be in a position of producing

all kinds of goods thus decreasing the imports and at the same

time make the best business in exports. With advanced kind of

ethical and technically strong politics India should cherish with

love, peace among all diverse people. It should be a green land

with highest percentage of forest area, preserving all species and

developing a great tradition which drives the next generations

through a bright and peaceful future.

A change in the mind set of people, especially the people

who play a key role in the society like politicians, administrators,

teachers, Industrialists, government servants from selfish to

selfless would definitely make a difference towards building India.

Firstly, politicians should develop a broader view towards the

benefit of India as a whole in a long lasting manner instead of

acting temporarily for personal benefits, or for the benefit of few.

Secondly, the civil servants who come with a great determination

for a selfless service towards the development are not able to

8


perform what they are expected to due to many causes and

reasons. Avoiding these reasons from stopping them to work as

they have to would make a difference. Thirdly, teachers are the

main backbone of development of a better next generation.

Moving to the Imports, there is a need to decrease the number of

imports and increasing the self-sufficiency, for this there is a

need to increase the no of industries, in varied domains. This

should be done by industrialists, by opening up for new

technologies and ideas, thus increasing the productivity in all

fields, which in turn decreases the imports, decreasing the

dependency of Indian economy on world economy increase

economic stability, and employment. Finally, modernization of

India should be done in an efficient manner and thus preserving

nature.

I would participate in social activities which work towards

the development in environment like planting trees, etc and strive

towards protecting our environment. I will join politics and give

my 100% towards the development of a better India by providing

the best administration. And strive to increase employment by

starting some industry, thus decreasing some amount of imports.

And always spread this message of rebuilding of India.

COME ON FOLKS!

India is a land of varied culture and rich tradition . India is the second populous

country next to India. My vision about our nation is ‘Developed Nation’. To me,

Developed Nation is the positive transformation in agricultural, economical,

political and social status of the people. Fortunately we can achieve the vision as

we have 66% of youth population. It is all how we direct their thoughts and actions

towards the development of the society. There comes a day when people of other

nations astonish at our giant leapt and try to learn from us.

India is on the way to attain the Developed status. Every citizens must take on the

responsibility of making our nation developed on their shoulders. Many people are

in need of basic amenities. Education is the first and foremost necessity of a

civilized man. Many people do not know how to read and write. They are in need

of jobs. They need a proper pay. They could not feed their children. Many of their

houses are neither built nor thatched. They need a safe place to dwell. The

environmental & sanitary conditions have to be much improvised. The mal-

nutritional & diseased people must be looked after. They should be prevented from

involving in social evils. Thus upliftment of masses should be our mission. I have

10


planned to work for the same in the coming years.

Firstly I will teach them how to read & write. I will teach them to acquire labor

skills so that they may get menial jobs. I will aware them about savings. I will

assist them in getting loans for starting business. I will encourage the women to

start self help groups thereby providing space for them to involve in cottage

industries. I will take initiatives to provide computer based learning to the children

besides arts. I will teach hygiene & cleanliness. I will insist the govt. body to

conduct health camp regularly. I will also take care that govt. schemes provided

reach them out safely. I will take efforts in inculcating the spiritual values to them

so that they remain undistracted from ethics& morale, remain patriotic. I believe

that if each one of us contribute we can attain the status of the Developed nation

in few years.

EDUCATION: THE KEY TO SUCCESS

“Nahi Inanena Sadrsham” Nothing is equivalent to knowledge. In my

dreams, I dream of an India, which is hundred percent literate. Literacy is

the only tool which can mitigate the lifestyle, vision etc of the people.

Knowledge can guide everyone from darkness to light. Moreover everyone

should be given proper guidance for using the knowledge. I am dead sure

that this will unearth many innovative ideas. As Swami Vivekanada said

‘Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.’ Many areas

in India are still illiterate and lack good facilities for education. Every

educated person can contribute a lot to the country. So my biggest dream

about India is to see our mother country hundred educated.

Each and every person can contribute to the development of country. Every

citizen can contribute towards it. Many may think making our country cent

percent literate is a surreal. But if there is a will there is a way. There may

be many impediments in the path, but we have to consider it as small

pebbles in the path. I want to be a civil servant in my life. Every kid born in

our mother land should be trumpeted by the great source of knowledge. It

will also help in eradicating child labor. The first thing to do for this is to

make elders aware about the importance of education and should make

parents aware of taking their kids to school. I strongly believe that, being an

Indian it is one of my important duties to serve the country. Also I strongly

believe that, I can do a lot for it.

12


Five year from now I foresee myself as an IAS officer. The first thing I will

do is making elders aware of the importance of education. Campaigns will be

conducted for that. So they will be made aware that today’s kids are

tomorrow’s citizens. Also, funds will be allotted for food, books, uniforms and

grand’s will be given for students from poor background. This will make

parents from very poor background also to let their kids to the schools. Also

I will arrange special team for managing evening classes for elder people.

Moreover small libraries will be setup in every place even in remote villages.

Being an engineer I will use my technical skills in the planning of activity

classes for kids in order to make interest in them for improving science

skills. Rather than making them mugging things, I will guide teachers to

make them understand the things, theories etc by setting good experiments

for them. Another important thing I will do with primary concern is

improving the quality of education in government schools. This can be done

by providing better facilities such as good laboratories, internet facilities etc.

District wise motivational classes will be arranged for children. There are

many hidden gems in many rural areas and orphanages. They are never

getting any option for better studies. Reservations in schools will be given

for students from very poor backgrounds. However before achieving my IAS,

which means during these five years, the best thing I can do is to work hard

to achieve the position and to learn more about educational sector. And I am

very sure that I can see my dream come true in the near future.

EDUCATION FOR ALL

Education is an important activity in society. It gives an opportunity to

understand the hidden world behind us. What would you do, if you weren’t

educated? You couldn’t read or write. Foremost, it could turn out difficult for you to

find a job. Knowledge and understanding come to us through education. For the

reason that, India is lacking education for all, especially in the rural areas, we must

take a step forward to educate illiterates. Like any other teen, I would want to

improve the education where only half of the Indians are well educated. The

illiteracy rate grows over time and the uneducated people grow even idler. Another

important role of education is- it also helps to improve communication skills.

This mission of education for all must be implemented especially in rural

areas. Initially, rural are the places where need for education is a must. Moreover,

by educating they get to explore things. Rural areas are lagging in performance

compared to urban areas. There are many ways to improve education in rural areas

like :-

Supporting children for higher education.

Providing better facilities in rural.

Free education programmers to poor people living in villages. Availability of bus facility for distant places to travel.

In this manner, we can find all Indians educated very fast. Having considered to

education for all, it is also reasonable to look at community participation. We should

make sure that the poor make fullest use of education too.

For the aforementioned reasons, there is no doubt that India will sooner be

a literate country. By improving adult education, improving the quality of education,

14


proving free and compulsory primary education for all, expanding early childhood

care and education, Indi will soon have educated citizens. Given these facts, we can

conduct few seminars in urban areas so as to make India prodigious enough to

have literates. Every person can put a step forward to make sure every citizen of

this country is educated at least till the minimum age. Schools in urban areas can

take the children for a trip to rural areas. This way, they get to know that there are

many people who have to be educated. The rural people can learn by interacting

with knowledgeable and experienced people in varied fields. Making good progress

at education is the key to finding a route out of poverty for many educating quality.

In this way, education should enable the youth to improve the working of the

society. So, every citizen of the country should be educated to develop himself and

the country.

BASIC EDUCATION FOR ALL

India is a vast country, having a huge population of high spirits but low

self-esteem. It is progressing at a frustrating slow rate for the people of my generation. Its multi-linguistic society, diversified culture, very bold history

and traditions are impediments to its rapid growth to emerge as a Powerful

Nation. At the same time progressing with its types of complexities is no less

an achievement. Basic education to all is the only solution in my mind to make this country’s development, a faster one. Basic education would help

in reducing caste barriers, inequality in gender, creating awareness about

basic hygiene and environment, becoming more responsible towards the

society, not following the old superstitious traditions blindly, having greater respect towards the physically challenged and elder people of the society,

and eliminating untouchability. Huge strides have been made by the present

generation towards providing basic education for all but the result is

percolating gradually with the society. More concerned steps are required

towards achieving this goal of “Basic Education for All”.

In order to achieve or to make progress in the directions of achieving

“Basic Education for All”, our youth has the biggest role to play. Simple

inspirational and motivating ideas should be given shape to enable the youth in helping the society in achieving this at a faster rate. Young graduates who

graduate from their degree college and get employed in the companies

should be given the responsibility to educate people around them. Every

employed youth as a part of his/her training should be given a time of 3 months to achieve educating at least 5 persons around him/her. The

government and the companies where the youth is employed should co-

ordinate in order to make this process a smooth one. Institutions which have

the reputation of harnessing youth energy and utilizing it for the betterment of the society can also help in giving direction to this idea by associating

themselves with different companies and proposing line of action by

preparing plans which would help the companies to direct the youth to rural

and semi-urban areas.

16


I aim to be in Indian Administrative Service which I will achieve in another

2 years’ time, I will ask the authorities to help me implement my above

ideas by placing me in a position where the activities of this effect can be

implemented and monitored. With the help of many senior administrative personnel already in the system this idea can be given a better shape. In

time span of 5 years, a system can be established in this direction which

would then be in place functioning on its own.

Youth working for the progress of the country would have the satisfaction of service towards their motherland.

“Jai Hind!!!”

UnManageable Population

It looks out-dated when I talk about Population Control but the real solution to India is in

concentrating and putting highest importance in managing the population to the minimum

levels. It is beyond any doubt that India has been struggling and facing the disturbing

vicious circle for the last several decades which has been stunting the growth and

development of our country. In order to break the destructive vicious circle, Population

control is the only practical and result oriented tool to break it. All other major problems like

corruption, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, housing, poor quality of life, low economic

development and growth rates, unproductivity, social evils, insecurity, etc. are deeply

interlinked with unmanageable population. I see the origin of all these problems is

unmanageable population which India cannot afford in terms of facilities, resources, finance,

quality of education, housing, employment and so on. Therefore my dream is to focus and

emphasize on the unmanageable, uncontrollable and unwarranted higher proportions of

population and to arrest the further geometric increase of population.

My goal and mission is “One Child per family” coupled with good brought-up of this child

which in turn will bring about my Dream-India come true. First of all, I want to be an

academician in imparting such education which can bring about desirable results reaching to

all masses comprising illiterates and literates. As a social worker, I want to reach the select

target with a clear-cut approach and specific strategy in an impressive manner that will

attract all the illiterates and literates to implement One-Child approach. I have a specific

and unique approach for illiterates. As a software technologist, I will design a module in

which a thorough, comprehensive and comparative analysis of Single-child family, Two-child

family, Three or more-children family which will highlight the specific benefits advantages of

Single-Child family.

My vision is clear. I want to see India with 10 crores less population by 2033, taking two

decades as a benchmark. I am going to achieve this by advocating Single-Child approach to

18


each and every citizen of India irrespective of their religion, caste and creed. Though this

may not be acceptable to all religions, I will plead and make them convinced and create a

conducive atmosphere in achieving the strategy. This is for the sake of better India and

better future for them. I will appeal and motivate them and bring about a sea-change in

their thinking and accept for Single child approach. When I meet the targeted families, I will

also stress upon the need to bring out very good character and personality in their child.

This will lead to corrupt-free India. I will explain the targeted families about the specific

benefits of giving best attention to Single child in all respects. It will equip them with a

superb financial affordability for their child. The unique advantage lies in a 30% savings per

month for the future as the expenditure on second child is saved. This will facilitate the child

with better education, better facilities, better quality of food, better health & hygiene, better

medical help and better safety. This will lead certainly to an ideal situation where in Single

child can be molded into a good person with a good character and conduct. Therefore social

evils like woman abuse, child abuse, thefts and crime will be drastically reduced. Because of

more children, the family head is under enormous financial pressures forcing him to resort

to unfair means and corrupt practices. Now the country is facing bigger scams and high

level corruption which could have been at the minimum if both mother and father

concentrates on their single child with emphasis on best character. Still, if anyone wants to

have a second child, I will advise them to adopt an orphan or a needy child and help the

society at large. I will create a website and use internet, social networking sites, SMS, MMS,

emails, pamphlets, etc., to achieve the mission. The need of the hour is to shift the focus

into achieving the “Single-Honest-Child” per family through the foregoing submissions for a

better India tomorrow.

“Jai Hind!!!”

Dream to See India- Educated

India attained independence on August 15, 1947.What has she achieved

during sixty plus.. years of freedom? Though there has been considerable

progress, the overall picture of life in the country is not up to the mark. Dr

Abdul Kalam had once asked a little girl, what was her dream for India? The

reply “I dream of a developed India”. This impressed him & to be honest this

is also ‘My Dream’. I Dream of an India, where many scientists are engaged

in doing significant researches, an India, which would be known for great

scientific & technological advancements, an India where the likes of Tata’s &

Birla’s would come up with new inventors, leaving the whole world amazed,

great minds of the world guessing as to how the impossible was achieved An

India, which is a leader not only in making new discoveries/inventions but

also in spirituality.

Education is one of the most important factors that lead to the development

of a country & society as a whole. In case of a developing nation like ours a

proper education system plays a vital role in the growth & prosperity of the

people. While e talk about the Indian education system we can easily divide

it into three parts namely primary, secondary & the post graduation, where

most people pursue the primary & secondary level of education the post

graduation level is not very widely pursued for with the number of students

growing by the day the need for larger amount of schools & colleges

20


becomes all the moral integral. Though our country boasts of higher level of

education in world renowned universities like the IIM’s & the IIT’s it lacks

quality education as primary & secondary level education is concerned.

In order to improve the education system of our country, I would like to

change the present system of education. There should be promotions on

semester system which is already in practice in Gujarat which is providing

this system from 9th class onwards which should be intended all over the

India. Nowadays, the students waste their time the whole year round & then

mug up a few questions & take the examination. These exams are in no way

a sure test of one’s ability. I would like to give my knowledge & to contribute

my part as teaching & serving the students. In our country, most of the

schooling system have hardly 200 working days. I want to make use of

those remaining 165 days as much as possible to guide the children. First, I

will prepare myself for the best & then want to give my best to others. I

want to gather as much as students in that period & ant to teach them as

per my knowledge. I want to direct my attention to technical & agricultural

education. Agriculture shall have precedence over the other subjects in

village schools. I want to teach them a study of art or craft in my small

campaign. I am convinced that the salvation of the country lies in preparing

our young men in arts & crafts so that when they grow up ,have not to run

for jobs. They can start independent industries & earn a decent living. With

this, the question of unemployment among the educated young men would

be solved. I wish that there would be no illiterate person in India of my

dream, wish that India should introduce such system of education as should

enable every citizen to earn his or her living.

CASTELESS YOUTH Once upon a time, a food critic was given a chance at a banquet which

was set up by the King of Heavens. There were different and wide varieties

of cuisines. He chewed, licked, swallowed and predicted the ingredients of

the dishes. At last, he reached a saffron coloured curry pot which contained

a white coloured dish with a green spoon dipped within it. He tasted every

bit of that dish and finished it off. The king asked him, “Oh Wise Man! Why

do you look puzzled?” The critic replied,” I have tasted every dish in this

room and could guess and comment on the ingredients used. But for this, I

get the taste of infinite substances in the world. What is this dish called?”

The King replied,” That is a very special dish. It contains all the flavours

around the world. We call it, India!”. A land of 1 billion people with 100

billion beliefs and culture, India holds a vital position in the functioning of

the world as a whole. But even with these many credits to claim for, we still

have a far way to go. One of the key concerns which I feel is still on loose is

the social evil of caste discrimination. After a long 65 years of Independence

also, India is not a different place. Various suburbs and rural areas in India

are still wrapped around with the envelope of caste discrimination. But why

is the simple fact so unacceptable to the majority of the population? The

deciding factors can be briefed. Initially, it was the bullying mentality of the

upper and stronger class of people that resulted in the creation of such a

divide in the mental strata of India. The division made the purpose of

imposing power over the lower caste people even simpler. They were given a

false depiction that they were born to perform specific tasks or jobs and

were grounded for centuries.But the main concern is that even in this age of

modern civilization and development, the common man in India still restricts

himself from thinking beyond the barriers of caste and creed. This can only

be dealt with the utmost weapon of modern times and that is education. A

man should be well educated. It does not mean well qualified. An educated

22


man can cater to the thinking and needs of the society and create moulds to

transform a human being into a social being. A man as a child should be

made aware of the traumas that the society suffers and the social evils that

he has to ignore, and at the same time eradicate from the face of the

country. Good messages can bring good thoughts and in turn develop to

good deeds that a society desires from a human being. So, we as Indians,

with utmost humbleness and infinite fearlessness, should decide ourselves

and pass on the message to our brothers and sisters that we are one. United

we stand to face the world with the taste of every essence of life and culture

within our country that no alien has ever experienced. The message of unity

and equality should be high and loud so that no social evil shall ever

infiltrate the Indian minds.

Bharath Lead By Youth Mother India's future is in the hands of youth, who are properly guided by

great intellectuals like Swami Vivekananda, understands the principles of

chanakya and becomes fully enlightened like Buddha. India in my vision is free

of all social evils that hinders India to become super power. Indians in my

dreams has no discrimination based on gender, caste, religion and creed.

Dream India is a place where merit counts in every sphere of life, talent is

encouraged, rule is rule for all, criminals are illegible to become politicians,

does not let individuals, intellectuals, researchers, scientists, leave the country

shore for better opportunities and recognition. I dream of India where every

individual understands the importance of giving back to the society what has

taken back from it, which strengthens our country.

To understand and analyze the measures that can be taken to turn Indian

youth into good leaders who can rise our nation to great heights. To make

them understand the benefits in living a life in the path of dharma and truth

and mobilize the spirit and energy that lies in them for the betterment of the

country.

Every Indian has to take an oath that I have set a goal in a life to become a

Leader, I will use my full potential to emerge as a leader in any field in which I

start my career. I will achieve it irrespective of all the obstacles I come across

the path. I will lead an honest life, free from all corruption and will set an

example for others to adapt a righteous way of life. I will feel responsible for

the serving the society, enjoy the way of leading my life in the path of Truth

and Dharma. I shall use all my knowledge I developed using the resources of

24


India for the benefit of my nation. I shall pay back to the society many times

more than I have gained from it. As an youngster of my nation, I shall put all

my efforts in helping the youngsters understand the importance of leadership

and how it further leads to success of our nation.

Being a big dream, it would take around 25 to 30 years to see myself as a

leader in the field in which I begin my career. I will use my experience to guide

as many youth as possible by helping them to evolve as a leaders. Besides

this with the help of experienced people, we shall conduct many Indian Youth

Inspiration (IYI) programmes that can help the youth of India to emerge as

futures leaders in all the fields and lead to India of my dreams. If every leader

feels the same way, my dream about India can be achieved in less than a

century from now.

Finally, Dream, dream, dream. Dream transforms into thoughts. Thoughts

result into action.

MY PATRIOTIC INDIA

India is a land of personas. The larger than life image of Mr. Bachhan and

the down to earth personality of Abdul Kalam is the beauty of India. Each

personality in India like Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or Netaji Subash

Chandra Bose believed in different ideologies and yet met a common point

about patriotism.

If we the citizens of INDIA stop dreaming / thinking about future INDIA then

who will???

Better let me narrate a simple story for you..

One night while am driving along the R.P.Road suddenly I found a

skyscraper at our place... I was wondered to see that for the first time at our

place. The next day was astonishingly shocked to see the beautiful malls,

flyovers, Airplanes, Clean Roads... The malls were welcoming me with the

Humanoid Robots, It was an awesome India I have never seen then

suddenly I woke up and came out of my dream... So then I thought, is this

my dream on future India??

I thought “NO" Obviously "NO" Or do I feel my country excelling in the world

market with $57 available for र 1?? "NO" But it does not mean I have no

dream for Future India. I searched for the inspirations of great personalities

about India I found a famous personality Mohan Das Karam chand Gandhi

with the Book "INDIA OF MY DREAMS" Gandhi says he dreams of “an India

in which there shall be no high class and low class of people. The curse of

intoxicating drinks and drugs. Then I thought Only dreaming results nothing

but should convert them in to reality. So now what should I do?

Stop dreaming!!! Or wait for some one who helps me out...? Both the options

do not work well. My dream On INDIA ""---Students/Teenagers for the today

27


are the citizens of tomorrow...---"" Most of the students are addicting to the

drugs and the scope of the future INDIA is declining. Every Student/

Teenager should think about the future INDIA.

Eradicating Drug Addiction Should be done strictly. The anti-drugs should

raise by different companies so that the pupil who are addicted can be out of

cause now. Raids should be made by the civil servants on the areas which

increase drug production. There are many ways to raid on these places and

the police man can do it efficiently if and only if the politicians surrender who

are behind the dangerous issues .This is the major issue in my point of view.

The dowry system, The poorness, Reducing the hungry, development of the

thoughts in the every citizen which makes all the things validate. The Dream

India will come true if the entire pupils are sincere to their heart, peace to

their mind. Development in India results when Development in every

Individual.

I will definitely contribute something for this INDIA. Contributing to India is

not other representing contributing to the pupil in India. i.e., in my way

serving pupil will result in contributing to INDIA. Sharing all the way,

motivating the pupil about the greatness of INDIA, by following the friends so

that no one will go in a wrong way. Caring the pupils who are in problems. I

may not help the pupil financially but I hope they will be motivated to raise

their financial path..

Empower the “better -half” Life-since its creation, has been revolving around its creators; God, the foremost

and then the men and the women; each equally blessed as the other. The more

empowered each creed shall be the more shall the world progress.

No wonder men play the entire role to development of a society but women own

the credit of its creation. She is the pivot of any society; the piousness of a society

is through her chastity. India specifically- the land of 330 million Gods and

Goddesses, is the land whose scriptures stand firm to the fact of “ yatra

narayastu poojyate tatra devta ramante” which elucidates that where the women

are worshipped , God resides there. Great persons patronise the hands that rock

the cradle as the one ruling the world. Yes! It is the divine mother, the

compassionate sister, the beloved wife and the innocent daughter with whose

nourishment can the fruits of magnanimity flourish.

But Alas!! Over this land whose Vedas chant the chivalry of Goddess Kali, a

mother fails to rescue her girl. A mother who delivers a female is forced to throw

the daughter in the dump yard; by her own family members, just to have a male

heir. India is blemished for being the fourth most dangerous place for women. And

Alas! This is the land where, to welcome Goddess Lakshmi, people keep their doors

open and “the Goddesses” inside, are beaten mercilessly and are thrown out of

their own house. This land, where Goddesses are draped in red silken dresses,

witnesses undraping of its daughters. This land suffers from the dogmatic culture of

child marriages which tends to destroy the youth of both the girl and the boy, but

early age pregnancies cause higher mortality rate of the mother and the foetus,

and even if delivery is successful; the girl bears the responsibility to bless the

childhood of the progeny, before she could bless her own. Moreover, their

educational and the intellectual development stop. Some families prevent their

daughters from receiving good education, for they believe girls are born to manage

the household. Some throw away all their earnings in dowry, considering it as the

favour to buy all the happiness for her. But they are ignorant of the fact that to the

lion, the flesh induces hunger that never reaches contentment. Marital rape is

another stigma which is worse than prostitution. Another brunt over her dignity are

29


the NATA PRATHA, where a complete market sets up to sale women and the

saddest of all aspects is that the traders are women’s husband or father; women

sent on “nata” never get status of wife, and the SATI PRATHA, in which women is

forced to sit in the funeral pyre of her husband to prove her honesty. Our better

mass needs to understand the fact that survival is possible only when symbiotic.

Lighting, alone, drives away the dark; Education removes all the ignorance.

Educating the better-half about her rights, her freedom; speaking against the

wrong, is the best remedy. I wish to call out for volunteers to open help centres in

every district which, to a larger extent, help the women community come out and

speak; which would certainly help her overcome the trauma and shall give her

courage to stand against the wrong. Adolescent girls must be educated to stay

away from person whose behaviour is derogatory and they must be taught to

report any mishap to her family. Police officials must be informed in case sati

pratha or nata pratha is witnessed by any person. Lack of educational qualification

and hence employment makes women destitute. I desire to open Training centres

with the motive of making women competent in education and more appropriately

in professional courses; skills of earning a livelihood shall help her become self-

reliant. Teachers of village schools, where girls are more prone to early marriages,

must bear the responsibility to enlighten girls about the advantages of education

and disadvantages of early marriages. Woman must ask for a share in paternal

property, so that she wouldn’t be any longer at the mercy of her husband. Girls

must be taught to refuse the relation whose foundations are built with dowry.

Women must be encouraged to say no to sex-determination of child before birth

and should be lessoned that daughters are as good as sons. Through the help of

government laws, every medical institution must be warned against unjustified

abortion which would help prevent female foeticide. Last but certainly not the least;

portraying the image of world without women and showcasing it to the mass shall

contribute in convincing them about the dire consequences. In the end, I would

wish to conclude with the message that a no matter how soft her heart is; when

she shall come up to revenge this land will be barren once again with no possibility

of revival.

NANOTECHNOLOGY AND WASTE

WATER PURIFICATION

The scarcity of water, in terms of both quantity and quality, has an intense threat

to the current and future well-being of people worldwide, especially to people in

developing countries. Today, a large quantity of water is polluting in many ways

like industry wastes, house, and municipal waste water, which can be made useful

for the society if make some possible actions. Currently many tools and techniques

are available for waste water purification but these purify water up to a certain level

due to cost factor, complexity of technical procedures and time consuming analysis.

These all shortcomings can be effectively and efficiently resolved by using such a

novel technology which should have advantages over tools and techniques using

presently for the waste water treatment. Nanotechnology is the best option for

waste water treatment and purification at low cost, least time, sample, space and

labour consumption.

Approach for waste water purification: Nanosensors for the Detection of

Contaminants and Pathogens

Nanosensors are the best option for the detection of contaminants and pathogens,

allowing use of unusable water sources. Current water quality studies rely on on-

31


site and laboratory analysis, requiring trained staff to take water samples and

access to a nearby laboratory for conducting chemical and biological analysis.

Nanosensors can detect even single bacterial cell (e.g E.coli) as it works on the

nano scale making them more sensitive. Detection technology for water purification

would allow people to know more quickly which contaminants are, without sending

samples to laboratories for testing as all laboratory operations are occurring on a

small silicon chip using either MEMS or NEMS technology. Nanosensors are

miniaturized hand held device incorporating nano and micro cantilevers on a

microchip. The microchip is disposable after each use, allowing it to be reconfigured

with new on-chip cantilevers configured to detect different molecules. This system

can analyse chemicals in water up to a range of parts per trillion. Nanosensors

can be constructed to detect many different toxins or to detect the same toxin.

Continued progress in use of nanotechnology for biosensors shows great promising

approach in detecting toxicity and purification of waste water. Nanosensors for

water are created in order to combat the contamination of water by blue-green

algae which produce cyanotoxins by assembling gold nanoparticles on nitrogen-

doped carbon nanotubes. The Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes are less toxic to

cells and have better biocompatibility than un-doped carbon nanotubes, making

them more suitable for use in nanosensor. The nitrogen that bonded with the

nanotubes also provides an active site for the gold nanoparticles to anchor onto,

much like enzymes forming an enzyme/substrate complex with the complementary

substrate can possibly be adapted to combat the Vibrio Cholerae bacteria. Thus,

we can conclude that nanotechnology is an intense beneficial technology detecting

micro/nano quantity of infectious agents in water and purify them in short time

ensuring quality of water making again reusable for commercial purposes. Hence,

we can finally say that nanotechnology is probably the only realistic route to

successful future advances.

Poverty Eradication

India is a great country and I am very fortunate to have born in this holy land.

However, our mother land is confronted with many problems. One of the

major issues is "POVERTY".

India was once a very wealthy and surplus country. In this context I want to

mention that every individual was served with equal justice i.e., there was a

very good economic development and so less Poverty prevailed in our

country. But now Indian society is not that prosperous as it was. Everywhere

we can see poverty which is added up with corrupt actions and other major

problems like lack of basic health facilities, illiteracy and unemployment.

My vision of India is to see it as a developed country in all walks of life,

maintaining its consistency and be ideal to all the world nations

.

I view poverty as a situation where people are deprived of their basic

amenities and lack knowledge of living a healthy life. My mission is to

eradicate poverty. I want to bring this into every citizen's mind. Collective

Responsibility (CR) is the way forward. This means that every one individual

33


should provide or serve the poor by providing educational facilities and

training, self-employment programs, creating employment generation jobs,

health services, moral support, values and ethics, financial help etc and also

encourage and indulge others to serve the same to the people suffering from

poverty. This will be a virtuous chain. By adopting this, I think everyone will

realize their responsibility of serving their nation to make it poverty less. CR

is very much essential for a country like India where there is "Unity In

Diversity". The CR must be consistent to achieve this mission.

My action plan initiates from me. Let me initiate the mission by forming a

small group initially by letting them to know my mission. I shall start my

mission from the villages, my native, neighbouring towns, and so on. I shall

ask every individual of my group to follow the same in their surroundings.

By having a look at this I hope every person will perform his best and

provide best for his surroundings. "The power in a team is massive". I am a

civil aspirant. As a future civil servant, I shall further lead my team towards

my vision. By this action I hope I can accomplish not only my vision but

also millions of Indians.

No Class and Caste – Brotherhood in India

I'm an aspirant of - no 'Class and caste' system, 'brotherhood' religion, and a 'fully

developed and corruption-less' INDIA.

From my childhood my elders and teachers taught me that we follow "DEMOCRACY" in

India... but i see only "corruption"ism... want to see all the government offices to work like

a top MNC's , every first person helping the needy people ... all politicians working for the

welfare of the people..!! A well flourished country.... no people under poverty line...! I

dream NO POLITICS in politics, as this field is only for betterment of the people and

eventually for the development of the country!! Religions and caste "work" only for

strengthening relations in the society! And in my country i want all basic needs like

education, medicals... etc free of cost for all the citizens irrespective of religion, caste and

class! I dream of that nation where all the youth take the lead and all the seniors will

guide!! Last but not the least... i want my rupee is equal to the dollar which was on first day

of independence!!

Though I have many thoughts for my country... I want to focus on the few issues which

adds to the development of our nation...

caste and class system: one of the solution I refer to eradicate the difference of 'caste and

class' systems in India... is to make all the basic need like medicals, education etc., for free

irrespective of class and caste..

As government gives free education: there will be no reservation in education and jobs,

purely it should be based on performance based allocation should be done! And after one

starts working government should take some cuttings (5% of his salary i prefer for few

years) for charging his education! This not only solves the reservation problem but also it

35


creates the feeling of "equality”! That decreases hatred between castes and classes,

chances for decreasing religion feeling as well!!

2. I feel encouraging inter caste and inter-religion marriages the one of the best solution to

solve this problem!

Eradication of corruption: as the old sayings...

1. Need to elect good politicians...: just think about this “in my country when a driver

post needs a quantification of matriculation, why don't they need a qualification for

politicians??"

2. Strict the rules and the maintenance of law and order: a separate autonomous body

should be made in charge. Officer, politician and any public servant should be

immediately removed from his post when suspected in any case and he/she should

be no more eligible to any job (government or private) and no benefits are given

from government to particular person!

3. Change in common man: as the technology is developed... people must make a habit

of using the technology and should trap the officers who ever demands bribe and

government should take illegal action very fast and before that, all the services

should made easy to reach people with very easy process (if it’s an ache process

people bribe for easy way.. here we should keep in mind common people need easy

ways they are not bother of internal issues)

4. Role media: instead of supporting the politicians and there parties... media should

follow some ethics and should work on bring out the truth to reach the people!

My role as an individual:

I always give my best to maintain all the rules and regulation of our law!

I treat each and every individual with equal respect; I respect each and every

religion, u see we get holidays for all the festivals.

As an individual I know I can't change my nation as soon as possible but I still give a try.

Because it’s my NATION, it’s MY PRIDE!

MY DREAM - ONE CASTE, ONE RELIGION and ONE NATION!

The Aesthetics of development

A few of my friends were enthusiastic about the four line high way that was opened

recently. I would like to invite their attention to a few things. Near the highways are roads

full of potholes. At the turn of the road is a metro railway station. The huge building,

originally painted in white, now got stains of pan masala on the walls and cigarette buds

littered on the floor. In the nearby slums open defecation is a common practice. One would

see buildings that resemble match boxes painted in awkward colors. Stray dogs and cattle

would toddle along the highway as in the green pastures and men would walk happily over

the animal excreta. And my friends would say “development” staring at the four line

highway.

A sect without aesthetic sense doesn’t bother about demolishing the ugliness around

them. In fact they do not really understand the awkwardness. Though educated they

continue to be narrow minded and their idea of development is based on this narrow

mindedness. I would like to term their sense of development as ‘half boiled’. Most of our

cities are not planned ones. Any capacity addition is driven by the immediate requirements

only. Thus most of the cities are and towns remain half boiled.

In a bid to embrace modernization people tend to negate our own traditional esthetic

values. My esthetic sense is invariably intervened with comfort and the sustainability. I was

surprised to hear that the trees along the road side, in my own city, are felled ruthlessly

because they cause obstruction to the advertisement boards along the road. Concrete

buildings pose some severe environmental concerns. Concrete manufacturing is among the

most energy intensive manufacturing processes. Concrete slab absorbs heat and re-radiates

it inside building. It will be very hot inside and most of the buildings will not have proper

ventilations also. This makes the use of air conditioners in evitable. Thus most of the

ugliness around us is attributed unplanned and unscientific infrastructure addition that will

cater to increased energy consumption and biodiversity destruction.

Tourism is closely associated with aesthetics. Here the beauty is all about being natural. I

37


was disappointed to see the Kanyakumari beach in dilapidated state mainly owing to the

annoying constructions along the beach. Just imagine India being rebuked by the foreign

travellers in the social networking sites.

The beauty is not just physical. It has a physiological dimension also. Say a disciplined

life is beautiful. A government service being offered without delay or corruption and a chaos

less harmonious society where everyone abides to the rules and regulations sounds

beautiful. A person talking to you in a sweet contented manner will be more attractive than

someone shouting or talking senselessly.

I will teach my kids to appreciate the flowers, the trees, the grass lands, the sunset in

the beach, the butterflies, and the biodiversity. Having learnt literature I am able to

conceive and appreciate a writer’s aesthetic imaginations. This makes reading enjoyable and

gratifying. I would like to organize camps for young kids where they will be taken through

various dimensions of a story or a poem. There, unlike the monotonous reading they are

subjected to in their schools, they would learn to explore the books as much as their

imaginations would permit them. I can also teach painting and organize competitions so as

to nature the language of art and love which is of at most importance. Art shall no more be

a burden.

I have already started a website called ‘mazhakkalam.tk’. My friends are being

encouraged to write poems and contribute photographs which they find suitable for the

lyrics. The lyrics will be imprinted on the matching photographs and posted in the site. This,

I hope, will make it easy for the viewer to understand the writer’s esthetic heart.

I have given my civil services mains exams. If I get through, I will strive to give a thrust

to art education. I would also suggest forming a panel of artists and poets to oversee the

aesthetics of development in every city. It is high time that we should start inculcating

aesthetic ideals, which would cater sustainable development.

CLEAN INDIA

My dream is CLEAN INDIA. Cleanliness in people and

environment. First and foremost part of living is

environment. A good environment provides healthy and

wealthy living. Only people can make environment good

and pleasant.

My nation is corrupted. Corrupted with rich and poor

standards, crime, and making the society filled with dirt.

People are spoiling the society in terms of polluting the

natural resources and public places. To overcome these

issues the mind set of people should be changed. To

change people’s way of thinking one has to show the

causes that are effecting due to their illegal actions. I see

people spit on the roads or any public places .What

makes their senses to commit such action? Do they spit

at their homes where ever they want? No they don’t

because they have the feeling of my place and I should

keep it clean. In the same manner when they try to spit

on any other place they should get the feeling of my

home and I should keep it clean. I will develop

39


organizations that will work for making people realize

their actions and get the feeling of my home. Crime is

increasing daily. Its involvement is linked with many

fields and especially with money. Humanity is lost in

people due to influence of crime. To stop crime useful

resources should be provided such that one should not

think of committing crime for fulfilling his/her needs.

As a social worker I will eradicate this corruption in

people and educate them in terms of living. Only

educating people may not bring change in the people all

of sudden but creativity programmes such as dramas and

movies may find the quick way for pupil’s reaction to

corruption. As an academician I will develop educational

instititutes that will educate poor children and their

families such that no child is left without education. To

keep our nation clean we should clean it and this sort of

attitude I want to built in the people so as to keep my

country clean. The rich and poor standards can be

removed only when people stop respecting each other

due to money. People should be respected for their kind

nature and humbleness. This change in the society can

be bought in the people by letting them know the value

of the person. As the person stops polluting so do the

environment is not polluted.

UNREALISED AND UNTHOUGHT.

Science can never be called really improved or developed/useful until it cannot

improve the standard of people having no standard. By standard I don’t mean

wealth, luxury or anything else, I mean the capability to keep oneself up, without

further falling down, I mean their intellect. Again, intellect is no degrees or

certificates but wisdom.

The dream remains none-the-less similar, but not exactly. You

may hear dreams about providing facilities to people, cutting corruption to use the

money for the poor and bring up the Below poverty line people, or any other thing

which ends up satisfying people for short term and externally but even for all this to

happen in the best possible way and to make use of it without further degrading

the cause, what you need in proper and good Intellect, the right Thought Process.

This is the root of development and wellness, no matter where and for what. To

make it larger is what I dream to do. Shortly, making people capable, capable of

thinking, knowing, learning, interpreting and concluding. But a Conclusion can

always be a Confusion, when learnt without Concentration and Core Intention.

Many people who redefined greatness were born on this Land. Time and again, they

have been successful to spread greatness in the Indian style, Influencing people

throughout the world and when sometimes I come to know not so popular things

about their greatness, thoughts or things that happened, it freaks me out to know

what we’ve lost in the due course of time. Their greatness is cut above everything.

We should learn to manifest the power and energy within us, we

should be able to realize the pre-loaded conceptions every human is born with. We

have to get the will and desire under control and dream and act to get fruitful

results. Starting with education, we should have a strict check on teachers, every

teacher should be a role model, especially in government schools. As the students

41


see such personalities infront of them everyday, practice kindness, well being,

sharing , caring and collective learning, they will grow up to be so and makes other

so. Camps can be started to make non-students aware of their power but only upto

a certain age, for those who think can make a change. Every student must be

taught the ability to interpret and understand and analyze on how to do their part

to the society, let them be selfish but to the society or country as a whole, never as

Individuals. Teach them how to do and yet not tell everybody, because that would

lead to ego, teach them goodness, and they will be kind, teach them greatness, and

they will fight the ego themselves. They will indirectly, or unconsciously develop the

ability to do the best in situation, to always lend their hand for help, and be busy in

helping, they will develop the courage to say NO to unproductive useless things,

beside not to step back to appreciate that should be so. To know how things work,

the mechanism behind them, to do wonders with their knowledge about things,

wonders improving people, promoting universal brotherhood, to how not to insult,

abuse or bully others, to have the courage the question the highest authority when

needed, to unite and work for harmony, but not fight for peace, to not value

material things, and worldly attractions more than Moral values, and culture, to

know the culture in a better way, to break the narrow building walls between

people everyday, to think out of the box, to be able to cry and share with fellow

men, to inspire and inspire people around us, to lead a ordinary life, but to the

fullest extent and in an extra-ordinary way, to accept bitter truths with a sweet

heart to neutralize the effect.

Things have to be done undercover. That is the way of nature and Human Life. The

nature has its own principle of earning things, and human has learned to steal,

because they’re mot capable of earning. You don’t need official institutions to teach

all this. It is learnt all by self, when the intellect Is ignited.

We ALL GROW THIS WAY, but the average rate at which we are developing

individually to help unite as whole, tends to ZERO. We do not realize the greatness

of so many things, as of now we have lost so many things unknown to us. All we

need is realization and inspiration, both can be found within us. Believe in you.

The resurgence of the orient through the

oriental path

I am proud to be born in a country that was home to an ancient civilization

that taught the world the philosophy of ‘Vasudeiva Kudumbakam’. The India

of my dreams must be a leader of the world in the true ‘Indian sense’

.India should show the world that power , leadership , domination are not a

product of economic and military prowess but can be a long term

manifestation of values, ethics and heritage. The Indian growth story should

have chapters from ideologies but the root should be on our culture and

ethos.

According to me, the two important problems faced by the country today are

the rising inequality of Indian society and the moral corruption of the

population. I see the second problem more significant and pragmatically

solvable which if solved can help in solving the first problem. The people who

have the resources and power to make changes are indifferent to the

problem of the less fortunate. The mindset of the Indian middle and elite

class should be a focus while analyzing the present problems of the country.

The present Indian middle class mindset can be best compared to the

mindset of an individual who has utilized the provision of reservation to

reach a position and who then conveniently forgets the plight of his fellow

brothers and sisters who need help. I feel this indifference and apathy,

termed as the moral corruption even if not the root cause, but is the solution

43


of other present problems of corruption, tainted leaders, insurgency etc.

If moral corruption is the problem, education is the effective solution.

Education should not become a one dimensional tool to compete in the job

market but a multidimensional solution to create citizens out of individuals.

Children should be taught moral education which can impart Indian ethos to

their young minds along with education for livelihood. As an individual I will

do my bit to sensitize youth and children in making them responsible

citizens. I will get involved in organizing and promoting camps and missions

that work towards this goal. Nevertheless, the efforts have to be sustainable

and effective for a larger population. For a change in the macro level, I will

try to get into a career that can enable me or act as a facilitator in the

process of legitimizing such steps. Politicians, Civil servants, academicians

etc. get such opportunities in some stage of their respective careers. In the

long run, such steps can have profound effect in the quality of each

individual of the next generation of this country. When quality of citizens

improve, the quality of governance, quality of resource management ,quality

of foreign policy etc. will automatically improve, for, the nation is the sum

of its citizens visions. My life will be purposeful and productive if I can

become part of such a mission of rebuilding India along the lines of Indian

philosophy.

Indian System Should Be Changed India attained independence on August 15, 1947. Now India has achieved years of freedom.

There has been a considerable progress in India ever since 1947 but still India shows a depressing picture in reality.

Day by day increasing prices and growing unemployement is a major issue for a common man who remains poor as he was.

Though education has spread, its standard and quality has also increased, I believe that every individual should have the right to achieve basic education.

My view of the basic education means the learning of such wisdom, which students can adopt and utilize in their day-to-day life when they are grown up. Every child will have to undergo academic education until the age of 15 years. By the time they attain to this age they should know at least the following: -

1. Learning to read, write and speak in ones' native language or a language of their own choice.

2. Learning to handle the finances. (Salary, wages, minimum wage, loans, interest, how to gain required finance, types of loans, payment planning, restructuring etc.)

3. To learn basic knowledge of measurements in terms of distance, units, times, degrees and ratios etc.

4. Gaining the knowledge of important legal documents e.g. wills titles, ownership, agreements, partnerships etc.

5. Learning of laws of taxes and its various kinds, method of its collection.

In all these situations it is the responsibility of the youth towards the country to turn to the India of its dreams and for this money is essential for the development of one’s personality.

The wide gulf between the rich and the poor that exists today has largely disappeared and now People have freedom of thought and expression.

India is industrialized and modernized. Without industrialization a high standard of life is

45


impossible. At the same time India has not discarded her ancient traditions and distinctive culture.

Education is wide - spread, and there is practically no illiteracy.

India is militarily strong and believes in non - violence, and strives to spread in the world the message of peace and brotherhood of man.

India is a land of fairs and festivals. As different communities belonging to different religions live here, therefore many festivals are celebrated regularly every year. Among these festivals, some are religious; some are based on seasons while some are of national importance. All the festivals are celebrated with great enthusiasm in a colorful atmosphere.

Diwali, Dussehra, Raksha Bandhan, Id-ul-Fitr, Christmas, Gurunanak Jayanti, Ganesh Chaturhi etc. are the religious festivals of India. These festivals are celebrated by different communities but they are celebrated as a whole. We can see festive atmosphere everywhere in India.

Holi, Baisakhi, Pongal, Onam etc. are seasonal or harvest festivals.

Then comes our national festivals- the Independence Day, The Republic day and the Gandhi Jayanti these festivals are celebrated by all communities throughout the country. The Independence Day celebrated on 15th August every year reminds us those numerous freedom fighters that made the Britishers leave the country. They gave us our long-cherished freedom. The Republic day, which falls on 26th January, is observed with national feeling.

In clear words I would like to say India without freedom is like a poem without words.

One of the biggest problems that are faced by India is poverty. India the home of 400 millions poor people living even below the poverty life and poverty causes many other problems as well. Due to poverty the other problem which rose includes child labor, crime proliferation and population explosion as well. To achieve all the goals and to become a modern state the solution is to reduce the poverty rate by increase the jobs ratio and another thing which is important to give equal opportunities to every citizen and to pay attention to increase the literacy rate as well. The other problems are gender biasness, inflation, illiteracy, employment and child labor.

Apart from all these there are several other problems towards our day to day life in India.

These problems arised are a major issue towards the essential part of our life such as Population, Corruption, Bureaucracy, Terrorism/Crime, Power Crisis, Social backwardness, Roads, Water Scarcity, Pollution Explosion, Corruption etc…

To add to the above I would like to say the solution is only one. End corruption & all the problems will be solved. All the government money is going into the pockets of politicians. They should be given a very strict punishment if they are caught taking a bribe.

To see the proper picture of India, to call India as a developed country not a developing country one individual should take a step forward for its better future.

One helping hand can help our India to see it on the top most of the world.

Women – The Past, Present and Future of

India

Our Nation India is a land of rich culture and heritage. It is marked for its

tolerance all over the world. Its culture speaks about how woman in India

are respected and worshipped. It is a land where great leaders, reformers,

scientists, social activists were born and contributed a great deal in their

own ways. I love and respect my nation for all what that it has given me and

for what I am today. Being a part of this mighty nation I have right to

dream about its future and contribute from my side. I am eager to see my

country’s women free from all kind of exploitations. After 200 years of

struggle for Independence, our country became independent. I just wonder

that whether there would be a time when women can be independent and

free from exploitation. Can this dream be realized? Indian women are

struggling just to live a life of normal human being .According to some a

recent survey, they are considered to be most stressed women among all

the women in the world. She is a symbol of love, patience, will power then

why can’t she be a symbol for freedom? The day when we use this phrase,

we can put a stop to writings like mine and give answers to my questions. I

think I’m just trying to be a drop in the ocean. How can I sow a small

thought to achieve a big dream?

There is famous Sanskrit sloka about how to treat her “Yatra Naaryasthu

poojyanthe Ramanethe thatra devathaha”. Women are supposed to be

47


respected and worshipped, but the scenario is quiet opposite they are being

exploited in every possible way. I am sure that just laws or rights are not

enough to achieve or leverage the status of women. The current situation of

women in India is self-explanatory. Who is exploiting her? The answer is

very simple: male strata of society as well as women exploiting other

women. The change is to be brought from them, their thoughts, mindset; it

should come from their hearts and teach their future generations the same.

This can be made part and parcel of our life. Let’s make this exploitation

extinct. Now-a-days we can find women not only in every field but also in

some crucial positions. This is an eye opener to prove the capabilities which

are on par with men and sometimes on higher side.

Being a part of the corporate world, I will actively participate in the CSR

(Corporate Social Responsibility) team, Infosys, activities of my company

and would make the team aware of the current scenario of the women and

would take up activities that empower women and also help destitute

women. Waiting for the day when no dad is worried about his daughter, no

brother would worry and no women would pity herself on being a woman.

PROUD TO BE A WOMEN

JAI HIND!!!!

All Employed in India As all people have great attachment to their own nation, even I am very much

attached to my India. I love my India and want her to become a respectable

super power in the world. It has all talent and capability. The British rulers

exploited the country. At the time of independence, the country's economy had

been shattered and there was unrest all around. In the sixty years since

Independence, the country has made tremendous progress. However, it is still

lacking behind in few aspects when we compare it with the other countries.

India Of my dreams is peaceful, progressive, literate, and corruption free,

where people feel secure, where health facilities are provided at the top level

and Women of the country are treated with utmost dignity and respect. Drastic

changes are to be made to make India of every Indians dream.

Unemployment is a major issue in India. There are a large number of educated

and uneducated people, who are Capable of working, and willing to do it, roam

here and there without any job. Various problems have caused this problem.

Unless and until this problem is solved our Indians cannot advance much,

economically and politically. Unemployment in India is mainly due to the high

illiteracy rate, not having advanced technology, population growth and also

because of cultural factors. When a country has a large number of educated

unemployed, it loses the opportunity to utilize their talents. Thus there is a low

level of economic development. Unemployment gives rise to all sorts of evils

like, thefts, robbery, corruption, smuggling and gambling etc. Unemployed

persons can easily get attracted towards the antisocial elements. They lose all

faith in democratic values peaceful. They consider government is worthless as it

is unable to provide them work. The problem of unemployment causes loss of

mailto:[email protected]

49


human resources. Poverty is closely tied to unemployment in India. In over six

decades, India has failed to eradicate poverty despite continuous growth. A lot

is needed to be done to reduce the rate of unemployed persons in India. I want

India to develop economically, politically and emotionally.

Unemployment in India has become such a complicated, economic, social and

political issue that requires urgent steps to be taken to eliminate it. Half hearted

measures or temporary solutions will not yield any fruitful results. The foremost

requirement is to improve the existing educational system. There should be

perfect coordination between our education and the industrial

development. Children should be taught the applications of the practical

knowledge in day to day life. By imparting practical training the children would

gain in depth knowledge of the subject. They would gain confidence before they

venture into the job market. The government in India is not showing any

enthusiasm in bringing change in the present educational systems. All of this

has led the Indian youth to face a tough life ahead once they are out of college.

We will have to revise our educational policy. Government should take an active

interest in this issue. India is basically an agricultural country. Agriculture is the

backbone of our economy. Agriculture in India s notes developed enough to

accommodate all the unemployed youth. Our agriculture is still dependent on

old and traditional ways of farming. The use of technology is not very popular in

India. Unless agriculture is modernized with latest scientific methods it cannot

provide a better future to rural youth. Another reason behind unemployment is

over population in India. Unemployment is closely related to increase in

population. All the steps to control growing population will help in solving the

problem of unemployment. Without population control, no plan can give us

desired results. The government should concentrate on these sectors to

eradicate the problem of unemployment. Those in power should understand that

the future of the country lies in the hands of the youth.

Towards a better India!!

Our country India is the country with the richest and most diverse heritage, culture

and tradition. We are all proud to be Indians. We have such a wonderful and we were ruled

by many people. We have our own indigenous rulers such as the Guptas, and outsiders too

such as the Mughals. But the most moving period in the Indian history was with the coming

of the European rulers, especially the British. As any other nation, we too struggled for our

independence and now we are proudly standing on our own feet. The independence of our

nation has brought India pride. But are we really doing justice to its history and culture?

What are we in the world today? 65 years of independence and we are still a “developing”

nation. From the present status of our country it is quite obvious that we cannot merely put

the entire burden on our poor leaders and government. It is time that we pull up our socks

and we ourselves become trustworthy leaders. And this doesn’t just have to be in the views

of politics. We just need to start small, at the remote areas where we are lacking behind

and pick any and every field that we can hold on to and glorify our nation in that particular

field.

Everyone dreams big and all have the right to fulfill their dream. Only when dreams turn

into reality, true happiness is found. The same goes for our country. We all have great

dreams about our nation. We dream that our nation should top in every possible field and

aspect. Today, these are just dreams. But tomorrow, to turn them into reality, India needs

its people (mainly its youth) that are us, to put their best foot forward and make India

reach the sky.

As a true Indian, I would wish to bring India fame in the field of astronomy. Our country’s

present stand in this field is quite good, but not good enough. We have stars such as

Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams who have brought India immense pride and satisfaction

in this field. India reached the stars thanks to them. Not only that but also, India has been

doing inexpressibly well in the field of space and research. ISRO is India’s true shining star.

51


Under the chairmanship of Radhakrishnan, ISRO has performed spectacularly. And the pride

that it brought to our nation cannot be gone unnoticed. Mainly, to highlight, PSLV has

carried with it, not only Indian satellites but also other space equipment from countries such

as Japan and Russia. Now, it can be positively said that it is not India that has to depend on

other nations, but other nations that are depending on India. The pace that we caught up to

is really worth nothing. But at the same time, we can to better.

We need to set ourselves a mission. In this particular field of astronomy or space science

itself, our country lacks behind in a few areas. We are not spot-on. So far India was unable

to send astronauts or scientists into outer space from its ground. We still need to depend on

NASA for sending humans into outer space. Why should we do so? Why should we depend

on other nations? What is it that they have which we don’t? The time has come! It is time

that the tables have turned! We need to buckle up and give all we have to bring India into

the limelight. We need to develop ourselves and our nation to do everything which is

possible. This should be our mission. It should be within us to make the impossible possible.

It is only then that India will be completely developed.

No matter how long it may take to fulfill these dreams, we should follow them and never

give up. It is our mission to enlighten our countries name. We need to put it into action.

Initially, we may need to go abroad and work at other space centers, but in the end, what

matters is how it will all help India. We all need to come together and make India shine. It

doesn’t need to be instant. It may be gradual and may take time.

But, in the end, we should all make it count. All the steps and measure that we take, the

actions that we take, they all should be worth waiting for. And India will be a developed

nation. For it is the best nation that any citizen can ever ask for. And all Indians should bear

in mind that “Lofty Dreams are always by the Little Ones!” So even if we are small and

overpowered by the rest of the world, it doesn’t matter. We are Indians and for us every

challenge is welcomed with open hands!!

EMPOWER FARMERS FOR INDIA’S POWER India must be free from poverty. Poverty is the worst form of violence. Poverty has

been weakening the country, society, families as well as individual human being.

A hungry mam does not know peace, moral values, religion and even humanity. He

knows hunger, vacant belly and his hungry family. Countries made from living

societies, societies made from living families and families made from individual

persons.

Poverty is the mother of problems, which are prevailing in India like high population

growth rate, Illiteracy, Child labour, Communal violence, Farmers suicide. Child

marriage, Malnourished problem among children, High mortality rate, Migration and

many other problems which are related to Social, Economic as well as Geographical

aspect.

India lives in village with nearly 69% of Indian population still residing in villages.

Their main occupation is Agricultural and linked occupation. Poverty is the main

cause of low farm productivity, increasing soil and Water erosion problem,

increasing stress on farm land and natural resources.

Poverty hammered Peoples fundamental rights like Right to equality, Right against

exploitation, Right to freedom, Right to food, Right to constitutional remedies and

put down the foundation stone of social equality and social justice.

We must think how to tackle poverty so that ensure the dignity and respect of

individuals as well as provide necessary condition for the material and moral

protection of men.

I will like to fight poverty as an individual, regardless of my position, post, yes it

will affect but my determination to fight against poverty is primary. My prime arm

against poverty will be spread awareness against farm utility, cheap and efficient

53


farming technique, use of fertilizer like industrial thrust, Organic farming method

and fill the gap between researchers and farmers attract youth and technical people

into farming.

Secondly I will give stress on education, but syllabus with morality, determination,

spiritual, stress management and technical skill in interested area. Education with

these idea surely bring up. As a person, I know these with personal experience. I

still remember when my father was not able to brought food at home up to my first

15 year and i had burning desire for study. I passed 10th and 12th from

Government school in Bihar and went to New Delhi in search of job, start earning

with 1500/month, self-study continue in night, won ICAR National Talent Search

Scholarship, and now a student of famous Agricultural Engineering college.

Education and determination is a great thrust force to remove poverty.

Third I will spread awareness and give finance support to local manufacture

material like cloth, toe, Agricultural linked Industries, Horticulture, Floriculture and

rural Industries. India lives in villages; we can remove poverty from India when we

would have been remove rural poverty.

I like to become an IAS. I will work in rural area. Continuously arrange meeting of

Farmers with Agricultural Experts, Scientists, Technical persons so that Innovations

and technologies go to Field. I will start awareness Programme in each

Panchyat about new Technologies related to rural industries so that Youth will come

in farming. I will send my relatives children at Government schools and Colleges

and ensure subjects study with moral values. Adding new technologies whenever is

possible. I will set up solar energy and wind energy stations in rural areas and

ensure supply of energy for rural industries at subsidy rate. I will strength the

demand supply chain. I will work to strength the structure system. I will regularly

visit storage center of Villages and ensure minimum storage losses and

Microbiological losses. Importantly built a body that will ensure good price rate for

farmers and producers. So that they will find reasonable price for their product.

My dream for my Country

I want my country to be free from poverty through which it can

achieve 100% literacy. Eradication of poverty of a country

depends on the employment opportunities and different schemes

which were provided by the government. Our country must have

politicians who are clean so that these schemes would reach out

to the public without any dilutions.

I WANT MY NATION TO BE A ROLE MODEL FOR THE REST

OF THE WORLD IN TERMS OF LITERACY…

“Be proud that you are an INDIAN; proudly claim I am an

INDIAN”

The above message is from Swami Vivekananda, who is the

role model for the youth of India who love India to the core.

Making my dream come true is to minimize the poverty level in

the country. By decreasing the poverty, we can make the

people’s life happier and it leads to attain literacy. Here, the

minimization of poverty matters because, by this it sow’s the

seeds for the growth of literacy rate in the country. Hence, we

55


don’t find any illiterate’s in the upcoming future. The different

fields that can make the my dream true are by serving the

people one should get into fields like Politics, Civil services, and

like a Social worker. These are three main services, which will

take us closer to the people. Among these three, I think Indian

Civil services should be given much priority from our student’s

point of view. The INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE serves as the

backbone of India and carries great respect and responsibilities.

India’s best brains are welcomed for entry into the Indian Civil

services as officers. Even though corporate jobs may offer the

best of salaries, a majority of student youngsters still crave entry

to the prestigious Indian Civil services which is held by Union

Public Service Commission (UPSC).

I want to get into Civil Service especially into INDIAN POLICE

SEVICE (I.P.S). The main reason behind it is tell this world that

women can not only feed her children, but also can protect her

children against illegal forces. Since, my childhood I’m passionate

to become a police officer. I would like to contribute my

innovative ideas to this country and I also want to protect the

women from harassment's and the attacks that are made on her.

THE WOMEN ENJOY’S EQUAL STATUS WITH MEN IN ALL

FIELDS OF LIFE…..

WE-The People Of India INDIA - a land of sagacious saints, a land of brave soldiers, a land of hard

working farmers and most importantly a land of the talented and ignited youth. It is said that the soil of India has some magical in it because of which it

produces gems.

“Chandan hai is desh ki mati, tapobhumi har gram hai …

Har bala devi ki pratima, bacha bacha raam hai!!!’’

These lines inspire me the most when I think about my country –my India. But as usual when I face the present scenario of my country I feel like ‘what’s

happening?’ So many questions, so many problems…Is there anyone to answer

them or not? Unfortunately, we are left with only two situations- first is to face

these problems and continue cursing the politicians, the bureaucrats, the academicians and everyone related to country; forgetting that even we are a

part of this country , or the second thing is to search for some job or university

outside India and settle there for rest of your life. In both the cases, the

common thing is that the people don’t consider themselves to be an Indian, because if they do they would opt for the third one –that is to bring a change

from wherever they are, in whatever condition they are. It doesn’t matter how

small that change is, but the thing is that it would lead to a bigger and better

India, one day.

Many social, political and economic problems are spreading in our country like

venom. Illiteracy, poverty, caste system, child labor, dowry and many others

are there from time immemorial and all these are so much entangled that when we try to deal with one, at the same time we have to deal with others too. But

what I want to focus on is something different, something if not taken care of

then it would soon create the worst scenario of our country. We all are aware of

‘BRAIN-DRAIN”, i.e., a person belongs to India, studied in India but works for

some other country for a better and secure future. For example: A talented scientist from India decided to join NASA instead of serving in ISRO or DRDO.

That’s still a better case …what about an IITian graduated in electrical, working

as a manager in some finance company of Europe or U.S.? For few we can say

that they didn’t have interest in their stream so they switch over but when a mass of the India’s most reputed and renowned technical institutions moves to

banking and finance sector then it is not just because of interest but because of

57


high package and fascinating life. It’s a result of brain- drain that out of 140,000

graduates passing out of IIT’s, nearly one-third, or 40,000, reside in the United

States. It doesn’t mean that one shouldn’t aspire for growth or better career. It

is obvious that being a human being everybody desires to achieve success, but at what cost?? A person starts preparing for the toughest exam known as IIT,

right from his VIIIth standard. He leaves all his comforts and joyous moments to

crack that single exam, so in a way he spends about 5 years just to be an IITian

, then he spends next 4 years in IIT or any other engineering college waiting for his dream job and finally ends up working not as an engineer but as a manager

earning about 40-50 lakhs per annum , far away from his motherland , far away

from his dreams which he had dreamt of, 9 years ago.

It should be a prime responsibility of every student to love his country, not

necessarily the feeling of patriotism but the feeling which is unconditional, which

inspires him to be an honest and responsible citizen-who could sort out different

existing problems instead of getting frustrated with them and leave his motherland in the devastating conditions. One might think that a high-tech

infrastructure and better opportunities by Indian government would lead to

reverse brain drain but all these efforts will be in vain unless the students

themselves consider their motherland at higher priority than their comforts. To

deal with the problem I have decided to be a motivator, either as an administrator or as a teacher who could guide the fellows or students the right

path, who could inspire them, for what they are meant for!! As a small plant can

flourish into a fruitful tree, only when it is nurtured into its ‘soil’. If each one of

us takes a responsibility of “AWAKENING INDIA” then we need not to get discourage by other problems because then we would have a dedicated and

talented force who will know how to tackle with them. It’s WE with whom the

problem is associated and its WE only who could be a solution!!! It is a big

achievement to have Indian talent all across the globe but when our country needs our support, we must serve her first. As an Indian, I wish India to be a

‘sone ki chidiya’ once again but to reach that apex we need dedicated and

energetic youth who could take initiative and work as a true leader of the

nation. To serve our nation, we need not to be extraordinary; our country needs just an ordinary man with an extraordinary desire to become a pillar of strength

for his nation. Summing up, I would like to express my feeling for my dear

country through these beautiful lines of rashtrakavi Maithilisharan Gupta:

‘Jo bhara nahi hai bhavo se, jisme behati rasdhar nahi…

Weh hridya nahi hai pathar hai ,jisme swadesh ka pyar nahi!!’

The Nightmare That Ended

Once I had a nightmare .I dreamt about my motherland, a place that should have been a safe haven for people. Instead I saw a war being

fought against poverty and corruption. I saw a battlefield filled with

living souls waging wars on everything and anything with weapons of

hatred, selfishness, greed and apathy.

I then wondered about how it all started .India was a country like any

other. But something unfavourable made it different than them. It was a place where the death rate was far more than the birth rate and

there was an imbalanced sex ratio. Poverty was flourishing, the health

conditions deteriorating , never ending famines and droughts were

rampant, the rich were getting richer and the poor were getting

poorer and the middle class were dubiously helpless. People were

fighting and they still are. Yet nobody knew why.

Why has our motherland become like this? Who is to be blamed? The

current generation or the previous one?. India is blessed with

millionaires, geniuses and all sorts of successful and important people.

Our infrastructure is developing every second and our scientific

achievements are recognized worldwide. We have so much to be proud of and yet what's pushing us backward every time we take a step

ahead? What's the resisting force that's making the way ahead look so

long and severe? Should we blame ourselves or should we blame the

representatives WE chose, or the WHOLE country which we are part

of? Should we lose pride we hold in ourselves or in our country? The

very aspect of democracy is that each individual is responsible for the society. The fate of our country is our fate. Therefore, it is our

responsibility to change it.

India despite the plundering raids started developing a long time

before other major countries. We were the first in many aspects such

59


as to have proper roads, drainage systems, and seemly sanitation. We

had religion which was deeply rooted with science. We were the only

one which had the two biggest enemies of the world living together

peacefully. And alas! We were wrecked. Everything, our wealth,

happiness, freedom were taken away by others for their own benefits. We lived like prisoners in our own country. And when we got back our

freedom, the horror of the reality reappeared. Everything was half

destroyed. More than half the country had to be rebuilt,

comprehensive laws had to be made and a new country was to be

raised from the debris as fast as possible. Mistakes were made, the

lucidity was lost but a country was built. A country with many backlogs but nevertheless a free country. And that's how it started, to be

precise, in a hurry. And we've been hurrying from that time, craving

for development, success and superiority and gaining all of them while

losing many other crucial things.

We talk about the ‘nothingness’ whenever something wrong happens

in the country, People say that there's no hope for betterment of the

nation and that nothing can be done no matter how hard we try. We fail when we give up and when we become ready to adjust to injustice.

Change can happen no matter how long it takes and making it happen

is our responsibility. The easy game of blaming others would do us no

good except bringing about infighting and various conflicts. Fighting

back assures us the change we believed to be impossible, possible.

That's the India I dream about every waking hour, a place where my nightmare wouldn't last. A place where people are truly happy and

where hopes and dreams are fulfilled. My dream will live on as there

will always be a scope for making our country as beautiful as it is

meant to be. I need not be a politician, a government official or any

other high ranking officer to make this happen. All I need to be is a

good citizen with a comprehensive set of values. And that is something anybody can be.

Development in Action

Dream is a beautiful word which we use to make our own aim, future,

career, and Nation. All human beings have their own dreams. The dreams

begin with their childhood in every species. They make their dreams by their

own views, interests, and concepts. A few achieve their dreams. Many great

men have written about their dreams on their goal, career, state and

country. Examples are M.K. Gandhi’s India of My Dreams and A.P.J.A.

Kalama’s Wings of Fire.

Gandhiji's India of My Dreams begins with these lines “Everything in India

attracts me. It has everything that a human being with the highest possible

aspirations can want.’’ He felt that India is essentially a karmabhoomi (land

of deeds) in contradiction to bhogaboomi (land of enjoyment).

My dreams started from my visits to my locality including the slums. I wish

to write about big things which are very small for our local political leaders.

My view of developments firstly is that my area should be disease free,

poverty free and the children must become literate. Then the district, the

state and finally the country should achieve these things. All developments

should happen from the grassroots level.

I would like to provide:

* Basic education to all poor people.

* Employment to the educated people.

61


* Welfare of women including their protection.

* Prevent the pollution and protect our natural resources.

Enhance the basic needs such are listed above before trying for scientific and

technological developments. This is my dream on India.

In my locality, civil servants surrender to the demand of politicians. So they

can’t do anything to help the poor. People believe politicians and their words

on developments. Thus the real poor people are deprived of their rights.

My dream comes true with the following actions. By increasing the facilities

in government schools in my locality to give free and good education to the

poor. Next step will be providing jobs to all educated people. Then I will take

steps towards preventing corruption.

I hope to get into IAS and get appointed as the collector of Trivandrum; I

wish to maintain my district - disease free, beggars free, and poverty free. I

would like to increase the facilities of my district hospital. ‘It is the collector

who holds an umbrella over a district at the time of an emergency. He is the

chief of revenue and thus the custodian of ponds, lakes and such public

properties in a district. He is answerable to all activities that happens and

not happens in the district.’ these words are my reminders to civil service

aspirants.

I will be an incorrupt officer, will be with people and won't misuse my

powers. WE ALL ARE HUMAN BEINGS; IF WE DIE WE ARE EQUAL TO A DEAD

DOG. All of us will die one day; if I can’t serve my society, if I don’t care

about it the life is not worth living. I feel, if I can’t realize this specific dream

in my life, it is a Sisyphean task and I can’t be called dignified.

JAI HIND!!!

A Change…

Like how one thing can be compared with another thing, a country perhaps

can be compared with another one. But never in case of India. India is such a

country that it probably cannot have a match. The rich and varied culture,

huge number of festivals and festivities, heartfelt traditions, customs with

unbelievably adorable people is what India is meant to be. “India has always

been represented in one of the top positions in various fields, say, history,

architecture, culture, resource availability, science, etc. Best of all, India is

highly recognized for the people living in it. The respect one gets from an

Indian is irreplaceable. Indians are polite, sincere, honest and respectable

people. They serve their motherland, protect its dignity and maintain

decency.”—This is what should run through the mind of a person who is

thinking of India. This is how my motherland is meant to be. This is what I

chant for my country should turn into!

But people have changed and situations turned complicated. Today’s India isn’t

equivalent to the old one. Trade has set in, foreign culture flowed in and global

communications spread over. These made it comfortable, easy and stress-free

to lead life. People think it is amazing to lead life with the latest facilities and

gadgets. But that is unquestionably false. The modern trends have blocked the

minds of people. And the master-minds are taking the greatest advantage of

this. On the name and fame of foreign trade, corruption is at a high rise.

Nobody can ever go against the companies and big businessmen regarding the

hike in prices as they are all private companies. The government can possibly

63


do very less to reduce corruption after enabling globalization. Indians are

joining hands and getting corrupt. From retail traders to government

employees, everybody is aiming to get richer than what they are. Once again,

this urge to get richer is to enjoy modern facilities and power. In this process,

it is getting highly advantageous to especially one category of people. And that

is the politicians, our leaders. The politicians constitute the entire government

and it is pretty simple for them to secure their corrupt property even if it is

worth hundreds of crores. This is ruining the lives of the poor, exploiting the

middle-class and upper middle-class people. All the money sanctioned for the

development of the nation is running into the hands of corrupt politicians and

government employees. Similarly, the medical and educational fields are also

turning commercial and sometimes corrupt too. This is an extremely bad sign

for our motherland.

For not allowing all that to continue, a change in the minds and thinking ways

of the citizens is essential. Now that the entire world is inter-connected

through various advanced means, it is impossible to ban the discovery and flow

of technology. There is requirement of change from the other way round.

Corruption needs to come to an end. Every person should work for it. We, the

children of ‘Bharat Mata’ have been too innocent to predict the future harm. It

has all shown up now. We are the enlightened minds and we could change

everything. Let us not support any kind of corruption. A person demanding for

illegal wealth should be treated severely by the laws. New laws need to be

brought into existence. Anyone supporting corruption should suffer the same

fate as well. The corrupt, spotted anywhere must be immediately taken into

custody. Not only corruption, but also anyone guilty of any other action in our

country should not be given a second chance. Punishment and penalties would

bring out fear in people. That is how the people, and then the society, changes

into what I dreamt of!

BACK WITH HERITAGE

‘INDIA’ – the world’s largest democratic country is always known for its cultural

richness. Its culture like its people, is a rich mosaic of myriad elements, was born from its

ancient roots. It is indeed a heaven to live in. Though its languages, religions, dance,

music, architecture, food and customs differ from place to place within the country,

nevertheless it possesses a commonality. India is a garland, interwined with various

colourful elements, starting from Kathak to Bharathanatyam, India gate to Charminar,

Lohri to Deepawali, Tandoori Platter to the regional South Indian Thali, Bollywood to

Classical Music and many more. This great remarkable, historical land was born to

spread the messages of love, non violence, brotherhood and peace. But sad to say these

things are changing quiet rapidly. Across the country old certainities are giving way to

conflicts and is destroying the country’s harmony. Dreams are a part of everyone’s life.

Every citizen has a dream for his country and even I do have one. My dream is to strive

hard and get back my country’s ancient rich cultural harmony and I’m sure I’ll achieve it

one day by following my mission.

Dreams are sure to be achieved, when we follow them with great sincerity. I am sure I

will be able to achieve this dream within the coming years. There are several fields to

achieve my dream, whether it be sports, social service, politics, media, entertainment,

65


literature or anything else, each somehow contributes towards the country’s development

and does help in achieving my this dream in a much better way, but I think that the field

of ‘Politics,’ would work out better for me. I wish to become the President of India and I

hope I’ll surely come out with flying colours and get back my country’s cultural harmony

to its ancient form.

If I were the President of India, I promise that my presidency would help to break the

invisible barriers against race and gender, that somehow, in some sense, it is preventing

some people in the society. As a lawful and devoted President, one of the most important

issues to me would be to provide sufficient funds to every state for the maintenance of

our heritage sites. Another issue that I would truly embrace, would be the issue of

disappearing dance forms. I would make sure that every state develops its dance form and

maintain its cultural harmony. I’d see to that, that no citizen neglects our culture and if

any one does, they would be punished severely. An extra important issue in my eyes

would be, to take care of the country’s cleanliness. Anyone littering the roads and cities

would have to face great and severe consequences from the Government. Last, but

certainly not the least, a primary concern of mine would be to prevent the wastage of

food and also to promote the campaign ‘ATHITHI DEVO BHAVA’ and make tourists

feel at home. I’ll pass on these bills as soon as possible and get back India to its ancient

form; moving with the modern culture. Through many of my life experiences, I have

learnt that togetherness is a blessing. I would try to bring the states together and bring

about peace, destroying every conflict, as a competent President. In reality, this event has

not occurred yet. I have not become the subject of attention, but if I become the

President, I would bring about such a change that could make a difference and gain back

my heritage. To endorse my cause, all I can say is that I care about my country and most

of all, I care about the future of the world.

“ May India flourish with peace.” JAI HIND!!!

POVERTY AN EPIDEMIC

Poverty can be defined as the state of one who lacks a certain amount

of material possessions or money. The most important dream of mine about

our mother land is to see the country without poverty. According to the

planning commission of India, thirty percent of the people lives below the

poverty line. Even kids endure from poverty. Intimidating news is that one in

three malnourished children worldwide is found In India and 42 percent of

the nation's children below five years of age are underweight. This should be

considered as a presage. I want to live in an India where no one starves for

food. I strongly believe that every Indian must show the fortitude to work

hard to achieve the aim.

To get rid from the pervasive hands of poverty myriad ways are there.

Poverty is like an epidemic which is to be wary about. Here I am going to

discuss about some ways in which I can contribute. I am dead sure that an

individual itself cannot do much. If it was possible then the activities of

mother Teresa alone might have wiped out poverty in India. But the action

of every individual values a lot. The combined action of government,

technologists, politicians and social workers is very necessary to eradicate

poverty. For eradicating poverty I want to work as a social worker who

works for the welfare of the society.

This means -Charity given out of duty, without expectation of return, at the

proper time and place, and to a worthy person is considered to be in the

mode of goodness. In continuum with working as an engineer, I am planning

to start a missionary small scale industrial organization. Some altruistic

minded people whom I know personally will be made to work in the

management side of the organization. Then I will employee some workers

who are unemployed and also from the bottom section of the society.

Adequate training will be given for them to make them skilled labors. To be

more vivid people without formal education and all will be made to undergo

some training, so that they can also earn for their daily bread. Employment

can reduce poverty to a great extent. The profit of the organization will be

divided between the workers and rest will be spent for the welfare of

orphans and rest for the weaker session of the society. Also profit will be

used to sponsor some good students of poor background. This will surely

ameliorate the living standards of the people. Once the industry is well

established it will be transformed to a co operative body similar to amul

an Indian dairy cooperative, based at Anand in the state of Gujarat .

Moreover I will publish some inspirational and motivating books by

combining the information’s from our epics and holy books. The amount

received from this kind of activities will also be used for the charity work. I

know only this activity cannot cure poverty. But I am trying to do some from

my side. Rome was not built in a day. Similarly activities with long vision can

do a lot. By doing this kind of activities along with activities from

government side can eradicate poverty to a great extent.

Corruption

India is a strong, democratic country and we Indians are its proud citizens.

But problem like corruption today is making our country week. Corruption in

India is a consequence of the nexus between Bureaucracy, politics and

criminals. India is now no longer considered a soft state. It has now become

a consideration state where everything can be had for a consideration.

Today, the number of ministers with an honest image can be counted on

fingers. At one time, bribe was paid for getting wrong things done but now

bribe is paid for getting right things done at right time.

Foolproof laws should be made so that there is no room for discretion for

politicians and bureaucrats. The role of the politician should be minimized.

Application of the evolved policies should be left in the hands of independent

commission or authority in each area of public interest. Decision of the

commission or authority should be challengeable only in the courts. Funding

of elections is at the core of political corruption. Electoral reforms are crucial

in this regard. Several reforms like: State funding of election expenses for

candidates; strict enforcement of statutory requirements like holding in-

party elections, making political parties get their accounts audited regularly

and filing income-tax returns; denying persons with criminal records a

chance to contest elections, should be brought in.

69


As an individual it’s our responsibility to always do the right thing in a right

manner i.e., we should not be corrupt ourselves and never should close our

eyes if we see corruption. It’s our duty to stand against the wrong and raise

our voice against corruption. When we are right within ourselves then only

we can change the world. We have tolerated corruption for so long. The time

has now come to root it out from its roots.

The Shining India and

Impediment of Deprivation

As India celebrates its sixty fifth independence day this year, one has to,

indeed, bask in the glory of being a part of the young dynamic diverse

culture that is India. We have come a long way, from being the seventeenth

century “Hindustan”, a land obscured of its untold riches and indispensible

charm, with a power so immense to entice, out of reach—out of sight, had

lured the Portuguese and Dutch to its, what was considered as

unconquerable shores. We now boast of the world’s largest functioning

democracy, the largest youth population, increasing presence among the

world’s richest people and enterprises, leading global power and more.

But my contention here is with that image of India that we turn our faces

away from – that child on the street from whom we look away, as he stands

arms stretched with a disabled malnourished brother on her shoulder; that

woman in her shanty in a slum, waiting for her 12 year old daughter to beg

and get back money for food, and that husband of hers, who is an alcoholic

and unemployed. My dream is that of a nation without such absolute

deprivation. Deprivation is the lack of or denial of something very basic and

necessary for survival.

71


What makes this dream of mine challenging, is the very reason that it is so

necessary, and that every Indian would agree with its importance, but

secretly skepticize its practicality. The mission needs to be the careful

education and sensitization of the society in general, to change the way they

perceive the social evils. It does not mean that every citizen pick up extreme

activism and flood streets. What it does mean, however, is to emphasize the

necessity for people to understand the issues of fellow citizens, even while

wearing the facade of the ever-glowing global Indian face. I happened to

visit a slum in Mumbai, with the lowest human development indicators in the

country. The experience was as shocking as horrifying, while it threw open

the realities of the very same poverty, unemployment, health and hygiene

issues that innumerable class discussions failed to achieve. I dream of an

India where no one is deprived of the basic necessities of survival.

This sensitization must start at educational institutes and the very youth

population that India boasts of, need to be the torch-bearers of this change.

At present, the problem lies in the fact that a majority population lives in

oblivion, unaware and uninterested in the lives of their fellow citizens. If this

can be changed, if the youth can be united in tearing apart the shackles that

hold back the nation, then there can be a brighter future that of a nation of

healthy and happy people and the true nationalist feeling of unity in diversity

can prosper.

Diversity as Strength

India, a country of varied cultures, traditions, languages & religions is referred to

be one of the good examples to depict the notion of “UNITY IN DIVERSITY”. As a

fair coin has two sides, there has been a considerable progress, but the overall

picture of life in the country is depressing. With the increasing prices of common

commodities and growing unemployment, common man is left poor. Though

education has spread, its standard and quality have received a setback. Even the

political scene is not very encouraging and the working of democracy is not

satisfactory. Our leaders lack the qualities of idealism, integrity and self - sacrifice,

which were abundantly in evidence during the days of the struggle for freedom. In

this tough situation, it is natural for the youth of the country to turn to the India of

its dreams. It is a mistake to suppose that dreams and visions are always a waste

of time - a way of escaping from hard realities but according to me “a dream often

inspires the dreamer to work and strive so that it may come true”.

In the India of my dreams, everybody is healthy-wealthy-wise with ethical and

moral values. My India is the torch bearer for all other countries marked on the

globe in order to guide them by showering its rich and varied culture. The wide

gap between the rich and the poor that exists today has largely disappeared.

People have freedom of thought and expression. My ideal India is industrialized

and modernized and is free from the capture of corruption. At the same time India

has not discarded its ancient traditions, moral ethics and distinctive culture.

73


Education is wide - spread, and there is practically no illiteracy. People have shed

superstitions, outworn ideas and customs. India is militarily strong, it believes in

non - violence, and strives to spread the message of “peace and brotherhood of

man” in the world.

The time has come to gear up and work hard in all directions for all-round

development of the country and take action in their respective positions from

peon to president, labors to landlords from electors to electoral people and also

from rule makers to rule followers .It’s the need of the hour to give a healthy

environment for the budding young generation in order to serve the nation and to

take the responsibility on their shoulders to build a reliable -knowledgeable

country.

I will design and implement a system to educate, train and to work with ethical

and moral values for the political leaders who always have an upper hand. I will

grow myself to such a height of above all and motivate and develop myself so

that ,parallel it would help in the country’s development .I will put my efforts to

make my country people to think and act.

Everyone Could Earn Minimum in

INDIA – my Dream For our satisfaction we can say that India is a democratic country, but actually

it’s not developed. In India more than 60% of people are very poor, who are not

getting education, health care, and other basic amenities for a good living.

People, who are well developed, are mostly from government side. They are

becoming richer and richer, day by day, by means of social evils, such as

corruption. These people just think of their needs and can fulfill through any means,

which might be a crime for poor ones, but for high society it’s just a business deal.

((((= AVOID NEGATIVE STATEMENTS= )))) COULD CHANGE THIS AS, in 20th

century, people who were born great like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, were

those who were having humanity in their hearts. They wanted to rise and shine like

a sun in their life, but also wanted to raise the nation with them. At that time

people were having respect towards others more than self respect and they dreamt

of growth untidily. They were having a living heart and fight for their rights

together.((((==SHIFTED DOWN))))

According to me, today’s world is totally different as I mentioned above. All are

having their own means. Today’s people are very much selfish and are having no

soft corner for poor. High society people are getting reverence from everyone, but

what about the poor ones? Nobody is observing or caring them, who will take their

responsibility? At that time nobody will arise to give a hand. They are treated like

wastes, or a non living thing.

Every day we can see people, lying road sides, begging, trying to run their families

by entertaining people, cleaning the windows of the cars at traffic lights. They are

doing such practices to fulfill their empty tummies. This is the real face of India,

75


which is transparent to the govt. then also they are sitting idle. Poor people are not

having any knowledge about life; they are following the tradition of their

forefathers. They don’t have a world beyond that, just compactly arranging

themselves in that world. Besides living they are getting died from inside. Not only

the parents are doing but their children are also involved in such practices and at

last they will become criminals for their survival. Also the children are suffering

from malnutrition and then end up with life threatening diseases. These children

don’t have a spark of learning and for a better life in their eyes.

In 20th century, people who were born great like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal

Nehru, were those who were having humanity in their hearts. They wanted to rise

and shine like a sun in their life, but also wanted to raise the nation with them. At

that time people were having respect towards others more than self respect and

they dreamt of growth untidily. They were having a living heart and fight for their

rights together. These days we lack people of this stature. I dream a world where

all grow together and the nation to strive upward.

I always dreamt about India, were all the citizens should have equal rights, free of

corruption, no difference between rich or poor, govt. should take major steps to up

bring these people and improving their lives through education and other ways.

People who are well educated like doctors; teachers should also help such people by

giving their knowledge.

Education plays a very important role in improving our nation. Govt. should first

look at that sector. People should be given counseling, how to live life simply,

humanity, safety, contributing in the development program and keeping the

country clean. In India cleanliness is next to godliness. So, this should be

maintained outside our houses also.

So love our nation, and try to make it loved.

Technical INDIA

India belongs to that list of countries which are known as developing

countries. In the word of James “youth is the joy, the little bird that has

broken out of the eggs and is eagerly waiting to spread out its wings in the

open sky of free and hope.” Is it a dream? No, their dreams take them to

stars and galaxies to the far corners of the unknown and some of them like

our own Kalpana Chawla pursue their dream, till they realize it and die for it

in process.

Youth is the spring of Life. It is the age of discovery and dreams. Today

India is of largest youth population in the world. Developed Countries of the

world are eyeing India as a source of technical manpower. Indian youth has

the power to make our country from developing nation to a developed

nation.

The youth hopes for a world free of poverty, unemployment, inequality and

exploitation of man by man. A world free of discrimination on the grounds of

race, colour, language and gender. A world full of creative challenges and

opportunities to conquer them. But let us convert these hopes in reality.

The role of youth is of most importance in today’s time. It has underplayed

itself in field of politics. It should become aspiring entrepreneur rather than

mere workers. It can play a vital role in elimination of terrorism. Young

77


participation is important because youth are the country’s power. Youth

recognize problems and can solve them. Youth are strong forces in social

movements. They educate children about their rights. They help other young

people attain a higher level of Intellectual ability and to become qualified

adults.

Unfortunately no one is bothered to dream any s vision. Martin Luther has

said, "I have a Dream" and the dream come largely true. If he had not

thought of that dream he would have accomplished nothing in his life.

Another problem is its indifferent attitude towards things, situation and

politics .The new cool formula of “let the things be “is proving fatal to India’s

development .Lack of unity and spirit is the major setback . It’s time The

youth, the students have to realize their power, their role, their duties and

their responsibility and stand up for their rights. Now it’s time that instead of

brain drain we should act like magnets and attract world to India.

Corruption Free

India is a country in south Asia. It is seventh largest country by area, the

second most populous country with 1.2 Billion people, and the most

populous democracy in the world. India became an independent nation in

1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent

resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi. It’s been 20 years since I came on to

this earth, I grew ,played, educated under the guidance of my parents and

today I am one among youth of India, I dream my country to be

powerful, emerging nation. My dream to see my nation where woman are

respected, no racial discrimination, education with no reservation. I remind

words of former president.

“Dream is not what you see in sleep, it is thing which doesn’t let you

sleep.”-A.P.J Abdul Kalam

A Dream often inspires the dreamer to work and strive so that it may come

true. The real power of my country is undermined by politicians’. The main

factor which is widely spread all over India and causing great harm is

Corruption.

I Dream my mother land to be corruption free. This is only possible when

our system become strict and our legislatures make strict laws for those who

violate rules .One should not encourage lobbyist in committing any sort of

bribe, if so found should be punished severely. I feel that there are few

major loop holes in our Administrative system. I have best example the


79


accused behind Bhopal gas tragedy, was a gas leak incident in India, and

considered one of the world’s worst industrial catastrophes. The incident

killed thousands’ of people and made lakhs of people homeless .The case

regarding is still pending. An eighth former employee was also convicted

but died before judgment .I think even god might have hanged him for his

criminal act or negligence but still our law is delaying to verdict. It’s been 64

years since we got independence. People say India is a developing nation .If

we are really developing we would have been advanced in every field

compared to other nations. Still I call India as a developing country .Because

It is only in India were economic growth rate is fastest in the world.

As a citizen of Indian .Firstly I will be honest, I won’t bribe anyone or give

any chance to do that with media won’t encourage any lobbyists .I’ll try to

educate people about the defects. I believe students are the real architects

of our nation. As a student I’ll serve my nation by clearing the loop holes

which I mentioned earlier. To do that I need to enter into government

service with a goal of uplifting my nation. Before taking up the job I

seriously make commitment on dos’ and don’ts and strictly follow them.

REVOLUTIONING INDIAN INDUSTRY

With our rich and powerful cultural tradition, our huge reservoir of trained man power, our considerable natural resources and our growing defence

capabilities, we have the potential to make a major contribution to the

emerging global society, so as to ensure a stable, multi-polar world in the

years to come. In the years to come, if our heads and hearts remain at their proper place, and we could take care of our social sectors with much more

care and concern than what we have done in the past, there is every

likelihood of India withstanding any challenge that time might throw up. In

the years to come, if our heads and hearts remain at their proper place, and

we could take care of our social sectors with much more care and concern than what we have done in the past, there is every likelihood of India

withstanding any challenge that time might throw up. In fact, India’s

economic growth rate is second highest in the world-next only to China. The

developed world has been left behind. The two Asian giants-India and China have today turned the leaders of growth of the global economy. At

international meetings and conferences, India is given a pride-of-place. The

developing countries look to India for guidance and help. Its Army, Navy and

Air Force are always ready to meet any challenge. The world is now looking at India with a renewed respect-as it is an emerging power in the world.

EMPOWERING INDIAN INDUSTRY

If employment generation is the best weapon against poverty, then

industrialization is the most effective means to create new job opportunities.

In the past 60 years, many parts of our country have benefited from

industrial development. In the next decade I want to see every region of the

country to benefit from the growth of modern industry. There is no

developed country today anywhere in the world, that is not an industrial

economy. Industrialization is critical for progress. Industrialization offers new

opportunities and hope, especially for people in rural areas displaced by

81


agrarian change. Industrialization would also mean urbanization. As more

and more people live in urban areas, we need to have a more creative

process of urbanization. This requires greater foresight in urban planning

and development. Adequate compensation must be paid to those displaced

and urban space must be used in an economical manner. We need to have

adequate drainage facilities so that life in our cities does not come to a

standstill during heavy rains. The day is not far off when half a billion people

will be living in our cities and we need to prepare for that day.

Towards this we have to educate the people and providing skills to them to

realize their potential. If we properly utilize the vastly available human

resources that will be the biggest asset we can invest. Towards this we have

to establish skill providing centres and we have to give importance to

vocational education .policies must be made to achieve this. Some

organizations are already on the way. It is also important to have good

relations between educational institutions, research institution and industry.

We are one of youngest nations in the world and according to observers;

India has the potential to create over 500 million trained people by the year

2020. That would be over a fourth of the global workforce; This big and

unique opportunity for India will come from an education revolution that we

must undertake as our most important national endeavor. So I want to

establish a software industry in rural areas and by providing proper training

to the rural people I want to make them part of new economy.

Clean and green India

Owing to the great season of monsoon...

Whenever i look around i find a green India with all its fields full

of fodder and grain all natural nutrients for us growing in the soil calling us

to enrich ourselves for a healthy future of tomorrow.

Sad but true we even find all useless dumps be it plastic bags or

plastic kits of seeds and fertilizers in and around those fields. Its throbbing

to find such dump in the places of our nourishment that tend to decrease the

life span of human, animals and also the soil in which its grown.

Mi vision of is of a “clean and actual green India”. This particular

phrase has a deep constraint in it. It actually refers to the basic greenery

desired and necessary for our survival. Green here doesn’t mean only

physical greenery with all plants and shrubs around. It actually refers to the

prosperous land that helps us to sustain in a better way but it in fact tend to

divert our attention to our well being. If our surrounding is clean it’s obvious

that we live longer and healthy. This is a not at all a serious or difficult issue

when seen by the practicality of maintain it.

The mission of “clean and actual green India” can be

accomplished by technically improving the disposal of toxic material and

followed in the mission. Be it anything right from the usage of tooth brush to

basic and evitable occupation of motherland “agriculture”. Let’s keep up its

essence alive in true sense.

INDIAN CULTURE

INDIA, It is the one of the country in the five continents. We are proud to be born in this

country, because many kinds of Nobel persons were sacrifices their lives for this country to

protect the culture of our India, like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose , Bagath

Singh, Alluri Sitarama Raju so many people were sacrifices themselves to this country

CULTURE:- There are several kinds of people living in India united, due to which other

countries respect us. Several combination of casts, traditional, and cultural was attracted by

the others countries, so many people were became soldiers to protected the country from

enemies. Peacefulness and green lands and unity in people, these 3 things represented by

the 3 colors of our national flag, which is made by Pingali Venkayya. But today our culture

gradually decreased due to unknown history of traditional ,and interested in other society

culture, and services to other countries. Everybody must be feeling wants to know about

our country culture and tradition. We have tried to explain about these things to unknown

peoples. The youth was worked as weapon to this main process. The villages are appeared

beautiful in the states .there was several kinds of ancient places. The tourists are showing

much preference to know about Indian traditional cultures.

India have the most beautiful rivers and seas ,and they become divided into several

descriptions like lakes and that water helped to the agricultural fields ,the rivers are born

from the Himalayas, which greatest mountains in INDIA.

Many forests, animals, birds, largest trees these are our national priority things. the modern

technology is also used to know about oldest organizing effects in future also , the

technology was mostly used in now a days and it will helped to us .it will developed day by

day .

MODERN LIFE:-But in these days youth also does not have the responsible to our country

because they don't know, Difference between the richest and poorest method is increase it

was applicable for our politicians it will be clearly appeared in the our country ,so our

society must be takes action soon on this ,remaining countries are better during this.

DE-MERITS:-

1. There is no union between politicians, leaders IN SOCIETY; People are suffering

85


economically about this since from years.

2. The graduated people were lived in other countries, during in this economically developed

their industrial levels and improved their country level, it will be effected on our country

3. Then the effect acts on the poor people and agricultural people by the government

demands.

4. During this process our classical culture also will become damaged, and over technology

is also will be creates the problems, due to the most using of them.

5. Pollution also takes place in this process, due to more technology, the poison chemicals

of effects acts on people and on the atmosphere also.

6.The difference of poor and richest and middle class families are not changed , during this

people were suffering with many problems

CONCLUSION:-

1. We sincerely respected to the our food makers (farmers),because the 50% of our culture

appears as in agriculturally

2.Don’t use the un wanted things mostly, because it will creates the pollution ,don’t use the

chemicals mostly on agricultural fields, some time it will worked as a poisons ,

3. The society must be recognized the graduated people, who was not have jobs, because

the poorest people will be reduced due to allotted works to them.

4. Graduated people will clearly understand that our country situation in comparison of

foreign countries, and tried to improve the country level and developed the good relation

between our country to other states.

5. Government also allotted special rules to reduce the poorest families .and citizens are

followed the rules and regulations, which are allotted by the government demands.

6. Youth should be take the responsible and don't neglected discipline.

7. People questioned themselves, how much response we have in society now in these

days, Increase our classical culture and traditional levels and protect the ancient places. And

Finally tried to spread our country history level on worldwide, JAI HINDH.

What India is going to be?

India is considered to be having one of the oldest civilizations. India was ruled

for over 200 years by British and obtained its freedom in 1947 after a great

struggle by our freedom fighters. Our ancestors may have dreamt of a country

which would become a developed country only in few years after its

independence. During the freedom struggle, our freedom fighters may have

thought after getting freedom there will be no discrimination. But there dream

looks so far away. My dream is to see India as a powerful country which could

teach the world how to live and how to let live. India is a country with many

ethical values in it. India also known as Bharat, which means a country which

worships light, which has plenty of knowledge within herself. My dream is to see

people of India retain their own identity, knowledge and not to follow others

identity. People of India should become a role model to the whole world

India is a treasure of knowledge; it just needs a leadership which can find

the treasure. India should improve itself in politics. Only a good politician can

change this country’s situation. A good leadership can lead a country in any

field. Any field in our country whether it is development in scientific region,

agricultural field, industrial field only a good leadership in the politics can

change the country. India has fame in corruption. Corruption can to an end in

only one month if our prime minister thinks about it just once. Even major

issues like pollution can be solved by the government. If an individual struggles

87


for 10 years to bring a change in a corrupted government office. If this initiation

is taken by government it takes just few weeks to remove corruption from that

office.

I as a citizen of India want to bring a little bit difference. This is the most

difficult part because talking about others is easy, but when it comes to our self

it becomes more complicated. But I will never be quite if there will be any action

that makes this country degrade its moral values in front of my eyes. I should

at least bring some awareness among people. It is my duty to save my mother

who feeds me with bearing the digging pain in her heart .I will try my level best

to bring awareness among people about the illegal things happening in this

country and how to stop it from happening. I will teach every mother and ask

her to teach the importance of country and to save this country to her children,

because only mothers can give us great leaders in future.

NON- STOP Action If there is any land on this earth that can lay claim to be blessed PUNYA BHUMI: the land

where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity,

towards purity I don’t find the in the whole world another country, which has done quite

so much for the improvement of human mind, the aim of the purchase is to impress on

the minds of masses the teachings of Vedas and to generate in them devotion to god,

through chronicle of great historical events.

When I look back upon the history of country, there is rhythm, a pattern and discipline in

the whole universe. Women even visualized Vedic mantry and noble teacher in India.

India has given to World the earliest scientific physicians; she has even contributed to

modern medical science by discovery of various chemicals and by teaching your how to

reform misshappen ears and noses. Even more it has done in mathematics for Algebra,

Geometry, Astronomy and the triumphs of modern science. Mixed mathematics was all

inverted India. Just so much as the ten numerals, the very comersion of all present

civilization were discovering in India. And are in reality, Sanskrit words.

Ancients Indians know that, their seers had wonderful knowledge of time. Where

knowledge of ancient India, not only considers, physical aspect of but also takes into

account physical, evolution, mental and spiritual dimensions of evolution. Let us hope our

rulers protect this unique heritage monument, which represents the Indian ethos, Indian

knowledge, Indian talent, Indian faith, and Indian culture.

In philogy, our Sanskrit language is now universally acknowledged to be foundation of

European language. Ayurveda is a living element of buryat life, they term it national

medicine. The wealth of the people had become fable, ever in most ancient history

89


(many foreign invades), rushed to become wealthy in India and conquered the country.

In music, India gave to the world our system of note down with the seven cardinal notes

and the diatonic scale.

Even the fine arts of India were studied systematical and the science of art had been

developed in India, Hence we call knowledge about dance as natyasastras, the

knowledge about sculpture is called shilpa sastra. The India music enhances the satwik

quality of the listener, whereas the western music enhances, the rajyasik quality of the

listener, this fact was proved through certain experiments.

Many Indians go to other countries, so rapid shall India develop. Like the gentle morning

due, our Indian scientist are creating wonders in science and technology and are

contributing for the world progress.in literature, our epics and our poems and dramas

rank as high as those of any language.

But one vision we will see clear as life before us that the ancient mother has awakened

once more, sitting on has throne, rejuented, more glorious than ever proclaim hue to the

entire world the voice of peace and benediction. India stands today as a country of

largest cultivable. Yet we find that nation never stood for power, never went out of the

country, to conque.by the transmitted to foreign countries, where they were further

refried and developed, The independent intellectual expression of human being requires

certain guiding principle from time to time .to make him follow the law of nature human

losses the rhythm of life, if he violates dharma India could not achieve medals in sports

after independence, it is not because of lack of talent in india.it is because of not

recognizing the genuine, talent and due to lack of encouragement.

India is the land of religion, cradle of human race, birth place of human, speech,

grandmother of legend, great mother of tradition, in agriculturally also, finally says that

ARISE, AWAKE! STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL IS REACHED.

Poverty-less INDIA

I dream of my country, INDIA, becoming a poverty eradicated state; where

the people of the country will no longer suffer for food and their child no

longer affected by the malnourishment. I want my country developing

economically by the combined effort of all sections (Rich & Poor) of the

society by realizing their role in the development of the country. I feel that

the need of the hour for our country is to get its entire people educated and

employed to enhance their lives. My greatest ambition in life is to deeply

involve in leading my country in the path of inclusive growth and poverty

eradication by enhancing the employability skills of the country’s youth and

to make myself to a position where I can strictly maintain the equal rights of

people.

My dreams can be fulfilled by working very hard with administration

and legislation. The transition of people to citizens and huge unemployed

youth to employ will change the fate of our country. All the legislators and

administrators should work hard and honestly to implement all policies of

the government in more civilized way. I strongly feel that providing

adequate education to

the entire woman in the society and making it compulsory will somewhat

provide better results in eradicating the poverty. All the people should be

realized the importance of doing their role in a better way in the present

91


scenario of increasing interdependence. People have to made to cooperate

themselves by the help of the government by working in more empathized

way. Government should invest more on infrastructure in rural areas by

taking great inspiration from the former President of India, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul

Kalam’s initiative PURA (Providing Urban amenities in Rural Areas). Though

this initiative is being implemented by Rural Development department under

the inspired and transparent leadership of Mr. Jairam Ramesh, Rural

Development Minister of India, the implementation of the initiative should be

very strict in order to provide access to all the rural areas.

I will act with great zeal for my country for giving me the birth in her

lap. I chose to work and fulfill my dreams by becoming part of Indian Civil

Services. I could learn the importance of Civil Services in changing the

Society by the constitutionally provided powers. I ensure all the people of

the country to be accessed to their basic rights and I will make the society

empowered enough to chose their leader by strict administration practices or

from whatever position I live in. In my perception educational loans and crop

loans should be bailed out for good reasons by strictly restricting loans to

the lazy people instead of providing frequent bail outs to the loss making Air

India and Kingfisher Airlines though they are essential by considering the

fact that Poor should not made Poorer.

I sincerely follow what all I mentioned above by working very hard. I

will work, work and work to develop my country. Sincerely, thanking all the

people who taught me to live like a citizen of India.

Jai Hind!!

Improve LITERACY for progress

India is a developing country. In spite of its rich and varied heritage and

resources it is still under the list of developing countries. The main reason

for this is inequalities, low literacy rate, huge population, misuse of natural

resources and so on... But, above all, many Indians are negligent,

irresponsible, unaware, uneducated. They knowingly or unknowingly are the

causes for great impacts on our nation.

In my view, India in future should be a place that is developed in all aspects

and at the same time, stuck to its rules. There should not be anyone without

basic necessities. There should not be anyone uneducated. Every citizen

should have per capita income above an average level. There should not be

any malpractice. India should be perfect, right from waste management to

nation's administration.

My future India should be without poverty, without inequality and the one

with 100% literacy rate. That doesn’t mean having degrees. People should

be able to understand what is going on in the country and what their duty is.

They need to be responsible and must perform their duties correctly.

I opine, the first aspect in which India has to improve is, its literacy rate.

Because, for India to develop, people in India must enhance their thinking.

They need to be in a position to distinguish between good and bad. They

need to have broad views on things, like; they can’t just sell their votes for a

day's bread. They need to know how their deeds affect nation. Coming to

93


officials, they misuse their powers for their personal benefits. They use

money allotted for major projects, disaster relief funds and people knowingly

neglect it. First of all, public must take initiatives on such cases and slowly

reduce and one day, stop all these mal practices. All the Indians should be

responsible. Responsible for their duties, their deeds and also their impacts

on the nation.

To achieve this, people should go to interiors and educate people there.

Tribals need to be told how to make good use of natural resources as it gives

good, positive results to our economy. Children should be educated well.

They need to be taught to be responsible and hence they will be out of

negligence.

And thus, tomorrow's citizen makes my dreams about developed India come

true...

Corruption

India is the country with rich heritage. Indians are

greatly knowledge about the Karma from thousands of years ago as

compared to other countries. Therefore Indians never invade or occupy any

countries in the world in the history of thousand years. We are given Four

Vedas to the world. The Indian peoples are greatly involved in their works

without doing any harmful to the other countries or to the world people till

now. Such a nice country we are living today. But today the corruption is the

major problem here.

We should washout this corruption from our country. It is spreading like

virus very furiously. It now reached almost all the Governmental

Institutions. The Government can't able to take steps because it is greatly

involved in it. The people should clean up the worst corruption and make our

Bharat Mata happy. Every Indian should take part in this second Freedom

Fight. It is our duty and demand to our next generation.

The Law should be very severe for the persons involved in corruption.

The students should be taught about the cruelty behind in buying the black

money. The people must be given power to send the M.P, M.L.A,

Ward Counselors and all the higher authorities to home if they are involved

in any corruption cases. The election should be held one more time as bye-

election in their respective areas. The Court should give the quick result

95


about the corruption cases. Thus the person involved in corruption cannot

escape. Otherwise using their power they will destroy the evidences. This is

possible if the hands of youths come to fight against corruption. They must

take part in this second world war.

Threats to Indian environment

India has completed 65 years of independence. In these 65 years we have seen a

great change in India both positive and negative. On the positive side, India is the

tenth industrialized nations in the world. It has made very good growth on

educational front. Agricultural production is seen as one of India’s strong point in

last few decades. Globalization of economy and India’s forays into software market

it has become power. However on the negative side environmental situation in

India continues to be extremely grim. Forest depletion has been rapid loss of soil

degradation is major cause , urban structure is crumbling under pressure, water

scarcity is actual in large , number of areas , most of the rivers , lakes , and ponds

have become seriously polluted . Air quality is very bad in most cities. According to

some estimates population pressure, industrialization and consequence depletion of

natural resources and environmental degradation is causing 7-10% loss of natural

income. Human activities like industrialization, urbanization and use of

agrochemicals has several affect the quality of life in India with millions of people

directly or indirectly suffering due to environmental degradation.

The massive efforts have been made in India in the last few decades to develop

renewable and non conventional sources of energy like solar wind and hydropower.

The pollution of our environment has put common man at great risk water borne

diseases in India are rapid causing not only death/diseases. But also huge economic

losses which are not even properly accounted. India also have wind energy to

produce electricity and large dams are created across rivers for production of

electricity by hydropower it is considered as one of the cleanest form of energy as

no pollution is caused by the generation of hydroelectricity energy especially

electricity is key to both India’s economic development and its environmental

97


protection efforts. Nuclear power is considered to be one of cleanest form of

energy. A nuclear power plant looks one of the cleanest places with no emission

but it is most harmful form of energy with very serious subtle effects on all kinds of

life. As soil is made up of biotic and abiotic components, it is a mixture of organic

matter, minerals and some organisms the formation of soil is a slow process

because it is the result of physical chemical and biological processes. Human

activities mostly agriculture and deforestation destroy soil structure and fertility

inappropriate irrigation practices, loss of vegetation, application of fertilizers

pollution from pesticides and crop mismanagement. Then to air pollution caused by

usage of fossil fuels. Atmosphere is a layer consisting of a few gases surrounding

the planet earth. The atmosphere protects the earth from abrupt temperature

fluctuations and the power full ultra radiation coming from the sun .and usage of

fossil fuels leads to incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and release of gases like

carbon monoxides, carbon dioxide, chloro floro carbons, sulphur dioxides which

leads to acid rains and global warming.

The birth rate should be reduced.

The advantages of small families are encouraged.

The emission rates should be restricted to permissible level by each and every

industry.

Air pollution control equipment in the design should be made mandatory.

Chemical treatment is given to factory wastes to reduce pollution.

Running water pipes should be equipped with a tap and situate that there should

not be any leakage thought its supply.

More sewage water treatment plants should be installed in cities and industrial

belts.

Trees have to be planted on barren slopes to control soil erosion.

Shifting cultivation leads to deforestation and it should be stopped.

Maintaining soil productivity is vital and essential for sustainable agriculture.

Instead of carbon as fuel hydrogen should be used which does not harm

atmosphere?

MISSION: DEVELOPED INDIA

The moment a newly born baby opens his eyes in the world, he becomes

someone’s son, someone’s grandson, someone’s brother and so on. In just

one second he finds himself assigned with many beautiful roles in the play

called “life”. But the most important and righteous role is the role of a

stalwart citizen; but the peculiar thing is that it takes years for one to realize

this very important role of life. Destiny of any nation depends on the

allegiance of its citizens, especially the youth. If the youths of a country are

considerate for the nation then the stride is inevitable. On the contrary, if

the youths are reluctant to stretch their “self concerned” domain of life, the

nation degrades. The best example that can be given in this respect is that

of the great “Indian National Movement”. This gigantic scaled movement

elucidates the synergy that emanated when citizens throughout the country,

collectively, threw the audacious British rule out of our country. It was their

love for the country and for the dream of “free India” that prodded them all

through their way. Had our freedom fighters been reluctant towards their

duty for the nation, it would have not been possible for us to breathe the

“independent” air.

Today, after 65 years of independence, is our country the same as dreamt

by our national heroes? In fact, it would not be wrong to say that even

today, our country is not independent. It’s true that we breathe the

“independent air” but this “once” pure air is now adulterated with the

pollutants of ‘corruption’, ‘money laundering’, ‘bribery’, ‘terrorism’ and many


99


more. No doubt Gandhiji would have dreamt of a free democratic India, but

would that dream have included these ‘pollutants’? The freedom fighters of

our country stood by their duty perfectly and freed their country from

slavery. Now, it’s high time that we should also prove ourselves as

responsible citizens by freeing our nation from the aforementioned exploiters

of present India. If we remain oblivious of our responsibilities these termites

will never let our country to become a developed nation.

Our country is a hub of talents in every field, be it science, engineering,

medical or sports. Everywhere Indians have embodied their excellence. The

youth of our country shoulders the huge responsibility to make our country a

developed nation. Today everyone wants to be successful in their life. The

youth must ensure that in their lexicon, the word “success” should mean to

make thriving endeavors to make our nation better. Whatever aim one

makes in one’s life, it should be such that our nation gets benefitted. If the

aim is to become a political leader, then one must promise to oneself that

he/she will honestly serve the country. If someone wishes to be a civil

servant, then the services must be corruption free. Whatever be the aim, the

will to serve should be common among all. Only then the mission

“DEVELOPED INDIA” can be accomplished.

Heaven on Earth My dream about INDIA is a heaven where everyone would wish to live

The mission is to make this country a better place to live in, a place where my

rights can be used to their full potential, Were basic needs of people are

fulfilled.

I don't dream for a developed concrete country, what is more important is the

development of its people.

We all wish for a better life but end up adjusting to what situations accustom

instead of trying to make a difference. We must bring a change.

I have no hidden agenda; I'm fighting for my future. Losing the future is not

like losing an election or points in a stock market; it is about the effect on

generations to come.

I have got the privilege to eat a regular meal, go to school and study but I think

about the lakhs of people who are deprived of these basic amenities.

I was fortunate enough to see agricultural lands and to play in farms but I

wonder if my children will get to see all this or will they be in a concrete world?

All these things are happening right in front of our eyes but we behave as if we

have all the time and all the solutions.

Now, I don’t claim to have all the solutions, but if we don’t know how to fix it,

we shouldn't deteriorate it.

No big promises or sacrifices can be made; I am a regular citizen of this

country. But I need to contribute that which I can as a part of my daily life.

Every day I need to promise myself I will not break any rules. I will follow my

duties as a citizen and at least for a minute I will stop and think about what is

going on around me because my duty as an Indian doesn’t end by just following

101


the rules. All this is possible if our children are given proper basic moral/social

education. We need not learn rocket science to understand the rules and follow

them. If every educated citizen can take up the responsibility to educate an

illiterate citizen we can ensure our future is safe. Educate people so that they

know their rights as well as their duties and lead a better-informed life.

We live a privileged life with food, shelter, clothing etc but is everyone

facilitated with the same, do we even think?

Many hollywood directors’ picturise India, portraying beggars. This is what one

of them had to say:

"I wish i was rich, if I were I would give all the children on the streets food and

shelter"

A person who has nothing is ready to share, then why are we so greedy?

We buy and throw but we are hesitant to share, share our country's own

resources for its progress.

Let’s share the everlasting and the most valuable asset we have - "education".

All we have to do is educate at least one kid because they are the building

blocks of tomorrow. Let us ensure that our future is safe!

At school we were taught proper behavior, honesty, respect, philanthropy and

several such things but do we understand them now?

We are taught that We have to clean up our own mess but are we cleaning the

"dirt" in our mother land? Charity begins at home!

We need to decide what kind of place we want to live in.

We are always told that the best solution is being implemented but you can't

say that any more looking at what is happening in reality.

I'm only one person but i know we all are a family, 1.2 billion strong and

nothing can change that. We all are together in this fight of saving our future.

Let us begin with certain actions because our actions should reflect our words.

Clean and Green India

“Clean and green India is my dream.” I wish to see roads that are

absolutely clean, school and college campuses with trash nowhere around

except in the dust bins, people who feel social responsibility to keep their

cities clean, public places and cultural heritage sites protected and kept as

clean as our own lawns.

India is a nation where no ritual starts without cleaning the house, no day

starts without morning prayers (which are supposed to be done with utmost

hygiene.), where no women enters into her kitchen without taking bath. A

typical Indian house is always neat, clean and hygienic. These instances

show that the sense of cleanliness is still prevailing in our minds, but is

limited only to the compound walls of our houses which we consider to be

our possessions. If this sense can be given a bigger range, I am sure that

clean nation is not so far away. Mere enforcement of environmental laws is

not enough to bring about a change. A bigger mission is required. The

enormous hidden potential in children and youth can do it.

As we say “stop complaining about your nation and do your part well…

because you are your nation.” I took an oath that I am not going to litter on

the roads.

I want to see my dream coming true by steps like:

1. Explain the children in nearby schools that throwing garbage on the

103


roads is not less than a sin.

2. Talk to all the families in my colony and see that everybody feels a

social responsibility to keep the streets neat.

3. I will go to each and every class of my college and make them realize

that it takes nothing more than a minute and a clean attitude to throw

the wrappers of the chocolates they eat and papers they tear only into

the dust bins.

4. I will do my part well and influence people around me to do the same.

I will keep the message spreading on and on until my colony, my

campus and my city become ideally neat.

5. Then the idea of keeping the nation clean goes larger.

These steps may be small. But big miracles happen only from small changes.

A journey of thousand miles starts with a single step and the first is mine.

THE GOLDEN BIRD

India- Amongst the list of a million epithets which one can find, the one

which remains my favorite is that of "the golden bird". Being a being brought

up in the early 21st century, I have been a witness of many events in my

country, some glorious, while most of them belonging to the unacceptable,

negative side. It has become the land of one of the highest hunger rates in

the world. Poverty, corruption, High crime rates is what comes to the mind

of foreigners when they think/talk about India- Which was once called the

land of Plenty, Prosperity & Virtue. So, I began my research, on what could

be the reason for that the Golden bird of those days has lost its wings and

has gone down and hit the ground hard. Some say it’s the British

exploitation, some say it’s because of corruption while some just put the

blame on the system which is/has been running. But I would say that the

problem is in US, Yes US the citizens of this Glorious Nation. In the words of

Swami Vivekananda-

"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be,

we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the

result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to

be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know

how to act.”

My dream for My country, India- Is to get its "Golden Bird" Era back.

The biggest question which would come into my mind is: How it could be

done? The answer would be in 3 E's - Education, Emancipation &

105


Empowerment. And I would say that these are inter-related to each other.

By educating a person we would emancipate him from the shackles of

poverty ,distress and depression and would empower him/her, make

him/her a part of what really is called in the modern days- India 2.0.

But that is just a part of the story; Education does not just mean making

him/her a literate. it means to give the citizen a sense of responsibility

towards his/her country making him/her realize that every single action of

theirs not just defines them, But the society around them as well!.

How Could I as a responsible & educated citizen of this country be of any

help for this cause?, one might think.

As they say, Sometime the best solutions are the most simplest in nature.

We should just do what we're supposed to do by law & virtue. If you see

anything wrong going on, try stopping it, even if the matter might sound

menial and insignificant at that moment. Try educating that person about

the wrong doing and guide him/her to the right path. Pay your taxes, stand

by what is right. Follow the 3 E's. feel empowered, take the responsibility on

your shoulders, as Mahatma Gandhi Said-

"Be the change you want to see in this world"

It might sound simple in words, But the road ahead is a rocky, hilly one.

There will be many obstacles and challenges in our way, but How we come

out of those challenges victoriously defines what we really are! Again, In the

words of Swami Vivekananda-

"Arise, Awake and Stop not till the Goal is reached!”

The goal of being called the Golden Bird again, The watering hole of

knowledge, Technology and Virtue. With perseverance, anything is possible

they say. So will be our dream of Getting back India to its Previous Glory!

Problems that prevailing in India

As an Indian I want to see India to be counted in the list of developed countries. Since 19th

century we have been listening that India is developing country. I want to see India to be

changed in such a way that Europeans come to India in search of jobs and for learning our

culture. Now a day’s our Indians not following out Indian culture and traditions where as

Europeans are very much eager to learn our culture and tradition. Our Indians are blessed with

hands on knowledge in every area but still we not able to find them in India they are going to

European countries and working for them. I want all those Indians to come back to India and

share their knowledge among us.

Education system:

Education system has to been changed CBSE syllabus has to be implemented even in the state

from the primary classes only with some modifications in the syllabus otherwise students get

stressed because of the vast syllabus and selection of staff has to be improved a lot so that they

also provide good guidance for the students for their future and providing quality education for

the students. I would like to guide my younger brothers and sisters those who are studying in

SSC. Those who are interested in inter (MPC), instead of doing inter it will be better that you go

for polythenic, this will help you in learning things in practical way and if you want to go for

engineering ECET exam will be the best option for you people.

Corruption:

Corruption is another dangerous disease that is prevailing in India very extensively in every hook

and corner. Anna Hazare had done the right thing by appealing for JAN LOKPALL BILL. If JAN

LOKPALL BILL is passed then we can create India in such a way that it is no more called to be

developing country. Switzerland is one of those cities which have developed recently by bringing

all the black money and making use of it in proper way. When small city like Switzerland can

develop then can’t we do it for India and we stand third place in the population wise. It is very

shame for us that even for government jobs they are taking corruption though the person is

having all the caliber that is needed for that post, if this is going to continue then India will never

be counted in the list of developed countries. Election commission has to take care that

politicians utilize only the amount which is sanctioned by commission for the campaign.

107


Illiteracy:

As in date we all knew that if we want our children to study in any corporate school we need lot

of money for lower class and middle class families which is quite impossible. Parents are sending

these kids to work as child labour due to which the rate of child labour is increasing in India. To

eradicate child labour and make these kids to study our honorable ex- chief minister Chandra

Babu Naidu started free supply of text books and note books in government schools, started

Aakshyapatra and encouraged girls to study. Our honorable late ex- chief minister

DR.Y.S.Rajashekar Reddy has introduced fee reimbursement program for graduation students

and implemented Rajiv Gandhi IIIT University and the main focus from this program is to benefit

the government school students. Our honorable chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy is also mainly

focusing to full fill the government lecture post through TET and DSC exam which raised the bar.

Unemployment:

As in date in Andhra Pradesh we have around 805 engineering colleges and the outcome of

engineering students every year is in lakhs but only very few of them were able to get jobs and

the rest is left, due to which the rate of unemployment is has increased. AP government has

taken a step to reduce the unemployment through the scheme Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu but it does

not go to a great extent.

We all knew that how fossil fuels are formed, day by day we are destroying plants for many

purposes due to which formation of fossil fuels is not occurring in the earth. To eradicate this

problem we have to mainly depend up on our available non renewable energy sources. Non

renewable energy sources are Solar energy, Wind energy, Tidal energy, Biomass.

Of the four energy sources, first three energy sources will be available only based on the

seasonal changes in the year. Biomass is available in 365 days; using biomass (i.e. dung of

cattle) we can prepare biogas or go bar gas. India is the highest cattle population country. These

biogas plants were established in India long back only but almost all of them were failed. This

biogas is ecofriendly to nature, with use of this biogas we can have many uses and this gas is

used in production of electricity, using biogas we can generate 1Terawatt current where as from

dams we can only generate current in Megawatts besides that the problem with the dams is

stagnant water will lead to increase of mosquitoes population and when floods occurs overflow of

dam water will lead to damage agricultural land and crop of the farmers. If government is ready

to establish this biogas plant in almost a plant in each village it will reduce the power cuts in

India and it helps to recruit lakhs of engineers. Rajasthan government is implementing this

biogas plant presently and Gujarat government is working with solar energy.

I would like to thank Rajasthan and Gujarat government for taking initiative step in working the

non renewable energy sources.

LITERACY is a MISSION

India is a great country with different religions, cultures, languages etc. It is

one of the richest countries around the world in my point of view but all the

persons will be saying that India is developing country. Yes, it is true. Our

country is developing country. It means richest developing country. My

thinking is to develop day-by-day. We will not take rest till we develop all

the things in our country. All the machineries, companies and all luxuries are

there in your country like in U.S.A, U.K developed countries. But we are

being considered as developing countries because we have to work every

day to develop better than the past. When we are talking about India with

other persons or outside the country, the most common person will be come

to the mind is freedom fighters like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and

Bhagat Singh etc. Many freedom fighters had sacrificed their lives for our

independence but there are some loopholes to be observed i.e., corruption,

unemployment, law and order, inadequate government ruling and policies.

My dream in India is to make all are literates and employed all the persons,

and make sure that law and order will do properly and safe.

I want to become a civil servant. It's my dream from my childhood onwards.

As a civil servant i can do many things for this society and our country. Civil

servant got more respect in the society than politicians etc. A civil servant

can change the rule for the good society. No one can suspended by

government if the civil servant was doing good for society except corrupted

109


or some other illegal activities. An IAS can rule the country, which can

balance many things within their posting. The civil servant can do the

reduction of corruption by giving strict rules to the officials. And they can

rectify the unemployment problem by consulting the politicians. My other

desire is all the Indians should think that they are social workers because if

the persons will think like that way, all the persons will unite and doing

something for the society. If all the hands of the people will unite together

then there will be less of problems and rectify the problems and people will

be happy. To get this type of change, the help of politicians also must. The

politician will behave like to serve for the people not for his/her seat then

the problem will be definitely solve. Not one person can change the society.

All the different fields of people will unite, and then we expect a change to

society.

I am going to contribute to society in many ways. I want to become an IPS

Officer. I am keen interested to join in police department from my childhood

onwards. In that way I am interested in civil services for the past 3 years. If

I become IPS, then I can control the law and order wherever i go. I will not

afraid of the politicians etc. I will not corrupt for sure and I will not

encourage the corruption if anyone corrupted, i will punish even for my

higher officials. I will make campaigns in the police department to serve the

people with equality. I will make a blog in the social networking site and the

normal people can post their problems in my blog. Then I will definitely solve

the problem what they are looking for. I will not take foot back even if the

politicians, higher officials even my family members make mistake. I can

face any situation for the better society. I can do any sacrifice for the society

and our country. I feel proud to be Indian. Jai Hind

Proud Indian citizens

I am going to narrate my idea to develop myself, my society, and my

country. One of the great presidents of India, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam said in

his book “wings of fire “that Indian youth lacking clear vision about their

future. They have all the information, Capability, resourcefulness but they

lacking direction of their life.

Recently a very bitter truth came in the newspapers. Among the large

number of engineering students of Kerala only less than 25 % percentage of

engineering students passing their graduation. 75 % of the students

dropping out or failed in the exam. Even more bitter fact is that only 25 % of

the Indian youth are employable remaining 75 % are just graduates but not

employable

It shows mainly two things.

1 most of the students don’t have a blueprint about their future

2 The problems in the current educational system

To get out of this problem we have to make a constant and conscious effort

to empower the Indian youth to dream.

So I as an Indian citizen I will contribute as much as I can by conducting

training programs for college students and high school students and I will try

to fulfill Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam wishes as I can do.

111


I dream an India were youths are highly skilled and education making them

a better human being instead of make them run behind jobs I dream an

India were youths are able to start their own enterprises.

Strong Leadership MY INDIA MY DREAM What is a dream? Dreams are a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations

occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are

not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history.

The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology. Vision; To see an India free of poverty and illiteracy

where the poor are empowered, an India where the bridge between the poor and the rich is within

acceptable limits. An India in which today's underprivileged youth succeed tomorrow, create a niche space

for themselves, and are able to contribute to the growth of the country. Lastly we also dream of an India in

which every other educated soul understands the importance of giving back what he has taken from the

society. And that this makes India go from strength to strength. Mission; To mobilize the undeniable and

boundless energy, spirit and strength of India's youth and carry out activities aimed at the betterment of life

of the underprivileged and also the education of the under privileged kids. We hope to achieve this by

forming groups from people living in same localities and helping them carry out the above mentioned

activities in their respective localities. We believe that such work happening in different pockets of the nation

would add up and help a lot of people. Abdul Kalam's famous quotes for dream; 1. You have to dream

before your dreams can come true. 2. To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to

your goal. 3. Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic

happiness. 4. Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended. 5. Climbing to the top demands

strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career. 6. We should not give up and

we should not allow the problem to defeat us. "A developed India by 2020 or even earlier, is not a dream. It

need not be a mere vision in the minds of many Indians. It is a mission we can all take up - and succeed. -

The above where the famous quotes by our x-president APJ ABDUL KALAM. If I am the PRESIDENT OF

INDIA; 1. TO KILL TERRORISM. 2. TO KILL POVERTY. 3. TO KILL CHILD LABOUR. 4. TO BRING OUT YOUNG

TALENTS. 5. TO BRING NATIONAL SPIRIT TO EACH AND EVERY ONE. 6. TO ENHANCE GLORY OF SPORTS. 7.

TO KILL ROBBERY. 8. TO DEVELOP INDIA ECONOMICALLY. 9. TO MAKE INDIA A SUPER POWER IN MILITARY

AND POLICE FORCES. 10. TO UPHOLD SECURITY OF INDIANS. In my view, the following should be the ten

commandments of a president of India. According to me, India is already a developed country. If the above

10 points are followed by the president of India, within two years India is the no1 country. The most

probable reason of India being a developing country is terrorism. KILL THE TERRORISM; Sitting in an AC

Room and talking about Nation don’t mean that, we are Impotent to Serve our Country. It’s not alone the

Guns which serve our Country, also our Votes, Our Tax, Our Spiritual Prayers for our Country. As a Normal

Indian, We are Born with Fighting Spirit, Guts & Love towards Mother land? Especially I feel that being an

INDIAN. During early 20's & 30's our people had good leaders who motivated them in the right path. Our

people are generally motivated very easily, a small spark is enough. Let me say more, we had sparks from

Vivekananda, Gandhi & Nethaji. When Nethaji called for INDIAN NATIONAL ARMY, Our people were the

FIRST & the BEST. Our Records proves this. Even the British Government wanted us during their World

113


Wars. Even before that, long long back... Years ago? How was our Country? Did we have any Fear? NO.

India is the First Civilized Country even before others started learning about Trade & Politics. Our Ancestors

only Policy was to Fight for Motherland. NOW, what’s our PROBLEM? What's the Major Problem Now? Where

did our GUTS GO? WHY are we NOT ABLE to STOP these TERRORIST? 1. We LACK LEADERS? Nowadays we

have a leader who does the same Motivation and use people properly? But, to Attack the Opposition Party

and their Leaders. Is it Constructive? 2. Our LAWS are OLD: We don’t have Strict Laws and enforcing the

Laws Strictly is again a BIG QUESTION 3. Our NGO's: They don’t know what their part .Also some

Associations regularly take up their flag and start shouting, that we are STRICT. 4. FREEDOM: Our Safety

Guards Lacks Freedom, INDIA is the ONLY Country to Smile and Stay Quiet even after its OWN HQ-

Parliament Building ATTACK. Is that Not a Valid Reason to Attack and Destroy the Terrorist Groups Behind?

5. WEARING GLASS: Our INDIAN Government is wearing a Glass called "PEACE". PEACE should be MUTUAL,

Not one side saying peace and other side attacking our Holders. Number of terrorist attacks in India since

1993: 33 Number of terrorist attacks in India since 2001: 30 Number of terrorist attacks in India in 2008:

10 Number of people killed since 1993: 1300+ -by this now we all can understand the reason. MY DREAM;

Always one should have strong desire in their ambition and dream. My ambition is IPS-INDIAN POLICE

SERVICE. If I ask my friends in the class, what is their aim? And their answer is? I want 2 become a doctor,

if I can’t then I will become an engineer. In my dictionary there is no word ‘Can’t’. Everyone should know

that they are capable and they can. That is the spirit of a true dream. But in my ambition I will aim for one

thing and will surely win in becoming IPS. I will do it. I will be loyal for my country and I will be one of the

Indian in developing a developed India. MY DREAM INDIA; The day when I feel proud of my country The day

when India becomes super power The day when the poor villages get light The day when on one dies out of

starvation The day when I see no child labour The day when every child gets 100% education The day when

women are highly respected The day when everyone follows Mahatma's principle The day when I see only

smiles on the faces of farmers The day when everyone is proud of my country India These all will happen

when the upcoming youth shines. THE OATH OF EVERY INDIAN; 1. I realize I have to set a goal in my life,

to achieve the goal I will acquire the knowledge, I will work hard and when the problem occurs, I have to

defeat the problem and succeed. 2. As a youth of my nation, I will work and work with courage to achieve

success in all my tasks and enjoy success of others. 3. I shall always keep myself, my home, my hostel, my

surrounding, neighbourhood, and environment clean and tidy. 4. I realize righteousness in the heart leads to

beauty in the character; beauty in the character brings harmony in the home, harmony in the home leads to

order in the nation, order in the nation leads to peace in the world. Where does it start? From one's father,

mother and primary school teacher. Now you guys have to do it. 5. I will lead an honest life, free from all

corruption and will set an example for others to adapt a righteousness way of life. 6. I will light the lamp of

knowledge in the nation and ensure that it remains lit forever. 7. I realize, whatever work I do, if I do it best

I am contributing towards realizing the vision of developed India Finally, Dream, dream, dream. Dream

transforms into thoughts. Thoughts result into action.

Research – The Future of India

India is a secular state and various religions bloom here without hindrance.

We have inherited our culture through the centuries. There is unity in

diversity. It is the land of Shiva and Krishna, the Buddha and Mahatma

Gandhi. India - my beloved country - which produced the greats of modern

times in the world - has a proud place in my droughts. India is the biggest

democracy, the land of temples and one of the oldest civilizations of the

world, the second most populous country in the world.

I aspire to see India growing in all the segments. This growth is mostly

dependent on the youth of the country as over 35% of our population is

below the age of 20. Today most of the youth after doing their Degree are

either settling in jobs or becoming victims of unemployment. No one is

considering Research field seriously. It is shame on us that we are forgetting

our ancestors; they were great innovators, researchers, Scholars,

Intellectuals. At this point I recollect the great words said by Vikram

Sarabhai during setting up of ISRO, Indian Science and Research

Organization, "There are some who question the relevance of space activities

in a developing nation. To us, there is no ambiguity of purpose. We do not

have the fantasy of competing with the economically advanced nations in

the exploration of the moon or the planets or manned space-flight. But we

are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful role nationally, and in the

community of nations, we must be second to none in the application of

115


advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society." Hence,

research should be encouraged in India and all the students should be

motivated towards taking up research in the subject of their interest and

thereby it helps in the development of our Nation.

My action towards this goal is, I would take up higher studies and would

travel in the path towards research in subject of my interest and also would

form a group of like-minded people and would take up sessions in various

colleges to inculcate the spirit of taking up research among the students of

those colleges. We as a group would make the students aware how

important it is for our Nation to have maximum amount of the students

taking up research.

Variety – Problem? Solution! 1. The government has banned child labour. But still there are lots of child labourers. What

should the government do to free the country of child labourers?

First of all, I want to thank for creating this opportunity to engage with citizens concerned

for children who are in challenging situations. The banning of child labour is a strong

reflection of our government’s political will to end child labour in India. But like any other

law, the test of the law is in its implementation. So, as civil society it is our responsibility to

create awareness about the law, push and work with the government towards implementing

the law and equipping local communities to hold the government accountable. World Vision

India’s way of equipping local communities through over 5300 children’s clubs were children

are made aware of their rights and active in making their presence felt in the community.

2. People talk about abolishing child labour. But it is yet to be done properly. What are the

obstacles that have to be overcome?

It is true. Lot needs to be done. Some of the obstacles we have seen in our work include

poverty situations, access to education, school not a ‘child friendly space’, weak

enforcement of existing laws just to name a few. We need to advocate with the government

to back up the legislation with necessary budgetary support. One of the key challenges is

the alternatives that are available for children who are brought out of child labour. Strong

programmes from the government that ensure that children have a future through

education and economic support for families. World Vision’s child labour eradication strategy

calls for Prevention, Restoration and Advocacy.

3. What individuals can do to prevent child labour?

First of all do not practice child labour. Do not employ child labour at home or work place.

When you see a child being employed, speak on behalf of the child and contact Child line at

1098 or a World Vision office near your place or any other NGO to report this. Do not

encourage products that use child labour in their manufacture.

The October 2006 notification had taken a very bold step in banning domestic child labour

and child labour in shops and establishments. But, it takes more than a simple government

117


order. Civil societies and citizens must get involved. Abolishing child labour has larger

economic and social fallout. Government and NGOs should work together to see that these

former child labourers are not forced underground due to the ban and enter into trafficking

and sex trade.

4. Do you think sending the child back to school will solve his/her basis problem? What the

world vision has done to rehabilitate the child?

World Vision believes that every child not in school is a potential child labourer. We seek to

assure that every child in all our programme areas has access to education. In some cases

where children have never been to school, World Vision helps them catch up through bridge

schools so that they can get into the mainstream of education. Rehabilitation could also

include vocational and technical education based on their age and abilities.

Many families have helped children by taking them as domestic helps. Some of these

children have gained more freedom and exposure by this. Enforcing the ban on employing

them in houses will, in fact, questions the good intentions of many families.

5. How does World Vision plan to end child labour?

or World Vision child labour is a serious issue. We have committed ourselves to ending child

labour in all communities where we work and the three pillars of this strategy are

Prevention, Restoration and Advocacy. Some of the steps include · developing the capacity

of self-help groups, village/basti development committees and children’s clubs · Active

participation of children in all community processes · Strengthening the economic viability of

child labourer’s families · Developing alternative education/skill training for former child

labourers · Psychosocial support for traumatized child labourers · Advocacy with government

and other institutions on child labour issues.

Every child has a right to education and childhood. What you are saying is right in the sense

that their economics do not support it. World Vision believes that instead of exploiting their

vulnerability, we should invest in their ability to realize their right. World Vision seeks to do

exactly this through our child sponsorship programme. The sponsorship programme helps

one concerned citizen like you to be a partner with a child whose rights are being deprived.

We think that this is a better option than employing this vulnerable child.

No organization or Government alone can solve this problem. If we as individuals take care

to educate the wards of our domestic help or otherwise alleviate their economic disability, I

think this would be a small step in the direction of removing child labor.

All that we can do as a government or a non-government organization is only drop in the

ocean. Child labour in India can only be eradicated if we as citizens can come together and

create a movement that is committed to building a nation fit for children.

POVERTY Nearly four years ago, during economic depression, I heard news that a woman

snatched a roti from her neighbour to eat. Was it theft? Answer is yes, it was.

Then question is, “Shouldn’t the thief be punished?” Then I will say do you

really want it to be punished? Because first it should be decided who was thief.

It wasn’t that woman, but us. We all, who have enough to eat and can make a

choice. Woman was just taking her part of food which was snatched from her. If

this is condition after 65 years of independence then we have to seriously think

who got independence? If you ask me what kind of India I dream of? My answer

is poverty free and more precisely hunger free.

Now biggest question is how this can be achieved? Well everyone will say

government should look into the matter. Yes, you are right! It is responsibility

of government. But is it its sole responsibility? Can we run from our

responsibility? What if government doesn’t act?

Now next question is why is poverty there? Yes, it is due to their very low

earning. I am not favouring social structure where all have equal income but

shouldn’t there be a limit; at least a lower one. A labourer or a farmer who toil

whole day in sun is unable to make his both ends meet and some of them even

commit suicide while we sit comfortably in A.C. room without bothering about

basic requirement of food and shelter but dreaming about a house and car.

Again my discussion seems out of context because deciding minimum wages

etc. are policy decisions. But no, I am not out of track. All the points I have

119


made are to change a common mentality that it is their fate and to make you

realize that these people deserve more.

It’s high time that all of us start contributing towards the society. There are

many reasons of poverty still pertaining in India; corruption, unemployment,

illiteracy. As these are other big problems so I will limit my discussion only on

eradicating poverty touching these points wherever necessary. If one is in

government or an IAS officer he can do lot in this direction. But people like you

and me can also create lot of difference. All we have to do is to spare our some

precious time and spend little money. One reason of their poverty is lack of

awareness in them and so we have to make them aware about what is good for

them. Generally daily wage workers earn enough money at least enough not to

die of starvation if their two major problems are eradicated. One is their

addiction to alcohol and tobacco and second is their large family.

So we have to make them realize how bad is tobacco and alcohol to their

health. Show them if they will spend their money on nutritious food instead of

these they will be blessed with good health and also the money which would

have been spent to cure illness caused by these, will be saved. Most of their

problem will be solved if they leave these. Secondly, make them understand

that if their family will be small they will be able to feed their children properly

and they will not starve. Tell them that time has gone when more children

meant more workforce. Now a child cannot work before 14 year and till then

what they will feed them? You can take 1 step further and encourage them to

send their children to school. Now school education is totally free and if any

small amount is required you can offer them to help. If you are able to educate

their children you will be saving a whole generation from suffering of hunger.

These are the few small steps which I will be following and can be proved

fruitful in direction of making India hunger free.

Joined Effort As we all know that India is a secularist, democratic and republic country. Since 50

years we the citizens of India are reading the above sentence but while reading

anybody peeped or tried to understand the words? Democratic and republic are the

two words which make country into people’s country. In our emblem there is a

word, Satyameva Jayate. Now-a-days these words have become a joke as this word

is given no respect. India is traditionally and culturally developed but is this enough

to develop a country? India is said as a developing country but as we see the

corruption in our country, the taxes which we are paying are going to the accounts

of corrupted politicians. Every day, every citizen of our country watches the new

channel for entertainment. They don’t see that their taxes are going to the

corrupted people in the form of scams. Normal India would think to gain money by

doing job and to feed their family that’s all they are going to do in their Life. There

are very less people who tried to change or to develop India but they failed because

this thing is not going to happen by 1 or 2 people. If all the citizens of India feel

that their country is going down and down by them then there would be some

change in our country. In all cases like corruption, rise in prices, inflation, change in

environment etc, there is a hand of normal citizen of India, due to their lack of

realization. If there is a totally lack of realization of people of India then our country

would be the poorest countries in the world. If we consider India and Korea in 20

century then India and Korea have the same condition. Both were merely poor

countries. But if we compare the status of 21st century then India would remain

back in the race because lack of development. We have a lot of different languages,

and one regional uneducated cannot speak any other language than his. India the

educated spit on the road, don’t follow traffic rules, they make the roads as the

dust bins. In our country we pay some tax for getting water also. We people waste

the water because we think that we are paying money or tax for water. The narrow

minded people use their rights in the wrong way. We people feel that we have

chosen a wrong leader our work is only to pay taxes? No we have to do hard work

121


from our side also. Our leaders need a Ferrari Porsche and a luxury house and a

fully loaded bank balance that’s all. If a leader doesn’t understand the poverty of

people behind his luxury then he is of no use. Instead he should be killed to eat the

public money. We know that there is an act existing now that cigarette smoking is

prohibited in our country, but out government is so weak that even policemen

drinks in open public area. We should dream the tomorrow of India and we should

start a mission and enforce our dreams into action. I dreamed India to be a

beautiful country with trees and all over the country. Skyscrapers don’t make a

country into a developed one. If people donate that money to poor people their

work to be completed. If they donate that money to poor people their work in

future will be truly completed. Instead a group of people of people collect all the

belongings to god, they can collect for themselves. I would more or less make my

country richer than America and Russia. In future people should realize the reason

for their poorness. The rich and the poor should be equally enforced under the law.

India is not a small country like Bhutan and not a big one like brazil. India has its

own traditions and culture. Even today there exist child employment, it should be

destroyed. Irrigation facilitated should be given equally to all. People with a bad

background should not be elected. Hindi should be preferred to English with science

and technology commerce etc... Groups’ students should also realize about their

slow development country. Lack of Jobs means lack of knowledge and lack of

application of Knowledge.

Action that can make India brighter:

A group of people should come together and discuss about various things like

poverty increasing taxes, etc. These groups of people should talk to the political

leader of their region and start developing one by one education after that poverty.

Slowly at last we should truly see an India into a Brighter India in 10years, if we

work for its development.

Made in India “obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal”

Where is India’s Google and iPads etc? If these products not originated in

our country it doesn’t mean that we are lack of technology or its

advancements. How many of us know that out of many products of east and

west the integrated chips and internals parts are developed or introduced by

our own Indians. India is a country which has a scope of utilization of

manpower in en masse. However lack of infrastructure and amenities

intellectuals are fleeing to west or east (brain drain). The finished products

or services from those countries are coming with a tag line ‘made in xyz

country’. With proper organization and effective utilization of resources, both

natural and human, those tags can be reverted as ‘Made in India’. Now we

need to make that ‘Brain Drain’ to ‘Brain Gain’.

When will we cease to be e-coolies? Imagine and decide a product with tags

‘outsourced in India’ or ‘owned by India’. Which one is best former or later?

Just recall: sun Microsystems – vinod khosla, Pentium chip - Vinod Dham,

Hotmail – Shabeer Bhatia. All are Indians, whose innovations are behind

these institutes. So we Indian are already proved in innovation, now we

need to sustain it. There are many ways for sustainability like providing

infrastructure to the R&D. Many countries were awestruck by our people’s

123


capabilities and started their R&D’s in India. Example Texas instruments is

the first major MNC to start R&D in Bengaluru. Government of India is also

having bi-lateral relations with developed countries to have technology

transfer. This is being good sign for development and it seems reverse

process of brain drain leading to brain gain.

In order to say a country as a developed country, each and every fractal

part of country’s contribution is required. We can strive to develop it from its

roots. Standing second in terms of large population is most advantage we

have than any other country. We can have people with more qualification

than required for a particular job which leads to process innovation. As we

have already proved in product innovation, if we prove in process innovation

also then we can expect our vision to be fulfilled in near future. In order to

attain this we need to provide qualitative education to the people. Thanks to

our Indian government as It has already started plan to provide basic

education to our people. We have to provide opportunities to establish

industries and it companies to have our own products with our own tags.

Then the journey of both product innovation and process innovation will be

coherent. Remember history of India, our country is one having most

sophisticated technologies anciently. So if we plan to act in present with all

the past experience we had, we can frame our future best.

Melioration by Education I always wish with a wish that my wish works; and I always work with a belief that

situations do change. This time I wish to speak bluntly about our country as-

‘Educated India’, ‘Healthy India’ and ‘Aware India’. I wish our India to grow not by

fancying other countries but by acknowledging and developing our own ethical

code. I keenly want to see our societies and culture out of those preset dogmas.

Instead of ethical motive, our motive should be to bring forth the independent

individuals with sovereign minds. How cool and adept it would be if every citizen is

employed, if every city/town/village if self-empowered, if women are treated

equally as men, if every child goes to school and if every Indian is educated.

Education is undoubtedly the only key to improve all these matters along with the

health and awareness issue as well. So, this time I wish to accomplish my India as

self-reliance by improving the education status of our country.

My first mission: Bad, good, better, best or worst, whatever may be the

conditions of education in India, at least we should statistically remain aware of the

reality facts. Just imagine a situation where we don’t even know that where we

stand exactly, and don’t know about the actual education status out there, will it be

then possible for us to improve the current scenario. Unfortunately this will

definitely become the case after few years because of the scheme of several state

governments to raise children up to Class X by passing everyone compulsorily up to

this class; meanwhile students of even 10th Std. can’t read or write a single word,

which is the case in majority villages as I’ve visited many. So now, illiterate will still

be their but they are labeled as ‘educated illiterates’ as statistics say. A mere rise

in the statistical data may strengthen their electoral muscle but, as I fear, it is also

making the realistic situation precarious. In future we won’t be able to improve

effectively because statistics will say that everything is going perfectly. My first

mission is to appeal the govt. to stop such deteriorating plans which instead of

125


improving, worsens the condition for future doers.

My second mission: Though, there are several beautifully framed conscious plans

and motivational schemes by the govt. for improvement of education system, but

they seem as not working properly just because of the less interested teachers

involved in the system, which are very crucial facet and having a vital persona in

improvement or derailment both. Due to this kind of ineffectiveness of plans, I

believe in an entirely different path of improvement. I believe that it would work a

lot better if society of educated people starts helping the other needy people nearby

their own society. For this, govt. can start different campaigns to motivate the

educated portion of the society for making them realize about their responsibilities

towards uneducated people. And to make it easier govt. can come up along with

plans in which educated people just have to volunteer, while those plans include the

up-liftment in the backdrop of education. This is not just an idea, but this sort of

activity is started by an exemplary work done in our college NIT Hamirpur (H.P.)

where a philanthropic activity is carried out by the students of our college called

‘Literacy Mission’. In this activity, we students voluntarily help the children of

underprivileged society inside and nearby the campus in their education, financially

by paying their school fees, by motivating their parents to send them to school, by

providing stationery, by daily evening one hour classes etc. We raise funds for this

by an annual cultural-cum-charity fest ‘PRAYAS’. I, as a coordinator of ‘Literacy

Mission’, can assure by my experience of last three years that this kind of

personally interactive help worth’s peerless. Education should be meant for the

improvement of lives, not for improvements of data. The prodigious ‘Literacy

Mission’ after the ceaseless efforts of 7years has bring momentous change in the

children of underprivileged society it is working with inside the campus and this has

proven that anything in this world is possible if once determined with a beacon of

hope and relentlessly devoted labor.

Just think of it that once every society started this sort of work, how tremendously

things will change. Don’t know about the plans of govt., but the way I am going to

contribute to make India educated is by trying to raise similar ‘Literacy Mission’ in

my locality wherever I go to live after my college life also. Whatever it requires, I

definitely am going to do this, and I just unwaveringly know it.

BE A SELFISH INDIAN

My vision about our country is to see every family in India to get all the

basic needs in their lives that are poor. Basic needs primarily for poor are

nothing but food, clothing and shelter. In addition to this sanitation, health

care, education is also important needs in their life. Poor in India expects

nothing more than this. Even government is trying to provide these facilities

and taking up several programmes. But they are not achieving any success

in their programmes which they are expected to. Corruption is the most

resisting factor to achieve these objectives. The government funds should be

invested directly, so that gap between people and government decreases

and the maximum poor will be benifitted. The strategy that I adopt for basic

needs programme will be named MY VILLAGE, STATE, COUNTRY.

The actual concept of this programme is to bring all the educated and rich

people in my village to a common platform and explain them about the

problems of poor and collecting funds (called as basic needs trust) as much

as possible from them and also from external sources. And then next we will

discuss about the strategy to spend those money for basic needs. All the

basic needs are directly linked up with money but we can reduce the amount

in case of education, sanitation and health. What we can do here is, for

sanitation we can include the local men for work force. For education, there

will be lot of students living in urban areas who are interested in serving

society, by them we can prepare quality video lessons which can be

127


understood to every standard. These videos can be distributed to all schools

we can also arrange some interaction classes with those students. Coming to

health we should encourage and motivate M.B.B.S graduates (of that village

or other) to work for society. After grouping interested graduates we should

make a time table based upon their free time so that they will consult the

patients on regular basis. Person of my village will be responsible for

maintenance of all the things for specific duration. After completion of his

turn, the next will take care of.

Once i complete the work in my village, then I will start implementing the

same concept in another village and making a person of that village

responsible to implement the programme properly. There will be a checking

committee of that village whose members are educated persons, checks

whether the programme is being implemented properly or not. After

completing all villages in my district, then I will go for next. Financial support

is very important factor in this programme which will be supported by local

funds given by villagers and also basic needs trust which is supreme trust

where funds will be collect everywhere. Regular sessions will be held at

different locations where number of students and intellectuals participate

who take the job to spread the importance of basic needs programme in

every village. This programme will be taken up to national level. Here also

there might be problem of misusing wealth but as the person of that village

is directly responsible and have to show all the records to checking

committee of that village there will be less chance of misusing the wealth.

Still there is lot of minor works should be done in this blueprint. This is my

action which i will implement in future for my mother India.
