Wake-up call - The Real Independence

A Step forward to eradicate poverty, unemployment, malnutrition!

Since independence we are struggling to eradicate poverty, unemployment, malnutrition & improve literacy in our country. The challenge in even higher at the current scenario as we would be the world's youngest nation with 65% of the population below 35 year of age.
What is that we are going to do with such a strong strength of being the youngest nation across globe. We can't wait for things to happen on its own, if so then we would not be able to take the advantage of being the young nation. As a lay man I was thinking how can we eradicate poverty, unemployment & malnutrition, larger answer to it will be there should be a sea change in earnings of people across the nation. Each Indian should earn money above the poverty standard. It is a big picture! If we get into the minute details, how each countrymen will earn above poverty standards? Here is one step which I feel will play a crucial role in addressing the concern.

Urbanization with balance, how?
Identifying non-agricultural & agricultural land, roll out a plan where non-agricultural land to be utilized for urbanization. Yes I'm speaking about increasing 3 tier cities, have a plan that every 5 lakh of rural population has an urban locality where his requirements a're met. This will reduce the large movement of people for earning opportunities, it will be a mix of rural & urban India. Urbanization in such scale will help in diversified investment & which result in employment. Reach of various products, services, hospitals, shopping malls, modernization in cultivation, opportunities in production, industrialization, educational institutions, domestic business opportunities all these will help in eradicating unemployment & at the same time larger issue of a farmer getting right price for his farming also can be addressed as he will be having his target customer well in his reach.
Malnutrition & literacy rate are directly dependent on earnings of an individual, as the employment grows parallely earnings will grow as per the competition. Urbanization with robust plan will help in modernization in agriculture & as well on industrialization, maintaining balance equally will be an art here. Basic necessities to be met to ensure the balance is maintained, planned geographies to be worked for ensuring agricultural land is not used for construction purpose, government must have their training centres for modern ways of agriculture's.

This act will have an great amount of impact on present metros also, as the movement of people to metros can be controlled who come for their earning or for opportunities. People will come to metro for better opportunity in this such case not for basic needs. We all know every city will have its limitations to offer the best services to the citizens, if the population crosses the limit then the system starts collapsing due to excess users with limited resources.

There must be a master plan to ensure un healthy expansion does not take place, it should be well defined geography for development purpose. We have seen in past a similar project was rolled out as SEZ, most of the state's had bitter experience, the only state which seen success is gujrat. If the plans are executed in right manner success is possible, this is what the case speaks.
To ensure this to be more effective, few important things to worked. Identify non-agricultural land, which part of the town will be viable to cover 5 lakh population of rural, blue print to be made on construction limit, rollout on large scale to ensure diversified investment, identify the agricultural output & product, road, electricity, water & other basic necessities. These are few important factors which need to be addressed while planning.

Imagine what this will take us to, no non-developed state, it address farmer needs & gives him opportunity to sell his products direct to the consumer, job opportunities as per the skill, education opportunity to all, increment in earning standards, electricity, roads, connectivity so on. What will be the GDP size, Size of Exports with local production, consumption level, reach to village & connectivity to all villages.
It's a thought from me, professionals can give their views on possibilities & positive or negative implications of this.
Think! If we don't think out of the window then who will think.

Traditional Political Leader vs Able Administrator

Since 1947 post independence we had seen ups and downs in our life, things changed as an course of cycle and as well based on the opportunities & challenges which people faced. There was an tradition of politics which has left an big impact on people's life since the time of independence. People of the country use to evaluate the performance of the government based on their short term plans, bonding towards the poor section of the society, arrangements of their basic needs to fulfil their stomach with meal atleast once a day.

India was evolving so that the globe, we had different challenges on political & as well geographical grounds, neighbours were not allowing us to settle down which still is a concern. Economical cricis, socio economy imbalance, industrialization, educational development, right to equality & lot many were the priorities for that time government & as well to the citizens of the country.

Situationally & as well with efforts we stabilized for some time, due to certain political decisions economy got distressed & we had opted for globalization of our economy to come out of the trouble, "some say it was due to the condition forced by the world bank on disbursement of loan at the time of economy crisis" the period was known to be an revolution in Indian government on their policies with due credit to the finance minister.

Read somewhere literary rate of India is at 77%, there was an row of corruption cases since few years which has changed the mindset of people towards politics. I feel this was the tenure where the perception of an Indian has broken into two aspects "Traditional Political Leader" & "Able Administrator".
Today the demands had changed, people are concerned about corruption, black money, grevience addressal, security, job gurantee, inflation, services in time, all the points are related to good governance which can be delivered with able administration.
I feel reason for revolution in thinking of the common man is due to Electronic & Print Media, Internet & Social Media also playing an key role in connecting directly with the people. Education was the grass route player in this revolution.
It was an finding of mine based on the current situation which is going on, its the citizen of the country who will be deciding who is an able administrator at the elections.

Why should we vote

अधिकार मेरा ।

आप सभी को मेरा नमस्कार एक और बार, पिछले लेख में मैंने रेसेशन के बारे में बात कि थीं और आज मैं बात करना चाहूँगा हमारे उस अधिकार के बारे मे जो हमें भारत के संविधान ने दिया है 'मत' 'vote'।
हम सबकी आदत है राजनीति के बारे मे चर्चा और विश्लेषण करने की, सदैव अपनी चिंता को हम सरकार के माथे मढ देते हैं । क्या हमने अपने मत के अधिकार का प्रयोग किया था चुनाव के अवसर पर, हमने खुद से यह सवाल पूछना होगा । हमें क्यों यह अधिकार मिला है और इसका हमारे जीवन पर क्या प्रभाव होता हैं, कुछ सरल भाषा मे आपको समझाने कीं कोशिश करता हूँ।

इस विश्लेषण को चार हिस्सो मे बाँटने कि कोशिश करता हूँ, जिसमें बिना कोई दिमागी कुश्ती लड़े सरलता से बात समझ आ जाए । चार हिस्से है - स्त्री, पुरुष, वृद्ध और हमारे नौजवान ।

स्त्री : आपके किचन से ही शुरुआत होती है, गैस, मिट्टी का तेल या दूल॔भ पदार्थ, इनमे वृद्धि अथवा कटौती यह असर राजनीति से ही होता हैं, गृहस्थी चलाने के लिए समग्री, दूध, बिजली, राशन और आवश्यक वस्तुओं के दाम मे उतार-चढ़ाव भी राजनीति कि देन होती हैं इसे राजनीतिक भाषा या सामाजिक भाषा मे अथ॔शासत्र कहा जाता हैं । महिलाओं कि सुरक्षा, महिलाओं के अधिकार, एंपावरमेंट, इसी लिए अपने मत के अधिकार को समझते हुए उसका सही उपयोग करें ।

पुरुष : क्षमा चाहूँगा कमजोर कड़ी को छेड़ रहा हूँ, नौकरी, बिसनेस और रोजगार मे मंदी या उऩती। होम लोन ब्याज दर, मेहंगाई दर, tax, पेट्रोल और डीजल के दाम मे बढ़ोतरी, बिजली के बढ़ते दाम, मल्टी टैक्स सिस्टम और कई महत्वपूर्ण बातें जिससे आपकी दैनिक जीवन पर अच्छा और बुरा प्रभाव करतीं हैं ।

वृद्ध : आजकल जो समाचार पढ़ने को मिलता हैं वो हमें विवश करता हैं यह सोंचने पर कीं हम किस समाज में जी रहें है, वयोवृद्ध गृह जहाँ हमारे अपने बुजुर्गों को कई लोग साथ नहीं रखते और वहाँ छोड़ आते हैं। बुजुर्गों कि रक्षा आज के समाज में बड़ा सवाल हैं, उनके अधिकार, समाज में उनकी उपस्थिति और उपलब्धि। इन महत्वपूर्ण विषयों में राजनीति का योगदान आवश्यक हैं, और आपका योगदान हमारी पीढ़ी को मत के अधिकार के बारे में प्रोत्साहित करने मे और उसकी महत्वता समझाने में बहुमूल्य हैं ।

नौजवान : आपको जानकर अचरज होगा के आप जो सिलेबस पढ़ते हैं उसका गठन सरकार चलाने वाले राजनीतिक ही करते हैं । विश्व विद्यालयों, कोटा एडमिशन, ट्रांसपोर्ट फेसिलीटी, नौकरीयां, ईजिनियर और डोकटर कि सीटों का निर्णय, नई इंडस्ट्रीज का निर्माण या अनुमति, आपके भविष्य कि जिम्मेदारी, यह सारी बातें और इनका निर्णय अपनी चुनी सरकार ही करतीं हैं।

देश कि सुरक्षा, आयात और नीय्रात नीति, ऐसी और भी कई बातें हैं जिनका हमारे जीवन पर असर होता हैं, नौकरीयो में जाती के आधार पर कोटा, और लंबी लिस्ट हैं ।
हमे अपनी सूझबूझ, अनुभव के अनुसार कार्य और जिम्मेदारी मिलती हैं, बच्चों को भी परीक्षा के पश्चात ही अवसर प्राप्त होते हैं, निकम़े इंसान को जिम्मेदारी वाला कार्य नहीं दिया जाता वैसे ही हमें यह भी विचार करना होगा कि हमारा शासक किस तरह का हो।हमें पूरी जिम्मेदारी से अपने मत के अधिकार का प्रयोग करना हैं और निश्चय करना हैं, समाज में जागरूकता कि मशाल को संपूर्ण रूप से प्रज्वलित करे और सभी को प्रोत्साहित करे कि वो अपने अधिकार का उपयोग करे एक शक्तिशाली, प्रगतिशील और सुरक्षित भारत के निर्माण के लिए ।
हमारी पहल तभी पूरी होगी जब हम निश्चय करेंगे के मैं ग्यारह लोगों को प्रोत्साहित करूँगा और अपेक्षा करूँगा के हर एक वयकति ग्यारह लोगों को प्रोत्साहित करे कि वो अपने 'मत' 'वोट' के अधिकार का प्रयोग एवं पालन करे हमारे देश के निर्माण के लिए ।
