Day before yesterday, I had a discussion with Harman. Harmanbir is my friend at office. It was just a casual discussion but he mentioned a very strong point regarding future of India. He told that If we want to really make this nation a superpower, we need to concentrate on 3 factors - proper health, proper education and good moral values. What a beautiful thought!
Many times, we overlook these small things. It is not only responsibility of government to provide these facilities. We should also think about these things as an individual. Without a good health we can't expect ourselves to work with enthusiasm. I see people working late night at offices, specially in IT industry. This is because of many reasons like lot of work, lot of technical facilities at our daytime, or sometimes just because one could not finish task in time. But, all this on stake of our health. Sometimes, we skip lunch, take junk foods. All this is dangerous to our health. Everybody should keep a watch over his health. Now coming to a broad stage. We have alarmingly poor health care facilities in rural regions. Infant mortality rate in rural sectors is increasing year by year. Still, there are villages which don't have proper sanitation facilities. We don't have cumulative growth in health care facilities. You can find better hospitals, doctors only in cities. Here comes govt. responsibility. Central as well as state govt. should join hands to improve infrastructure in rural areas. Connect these areas with cities with better roads so that one can easily reach the facilities in cities. A healthy society is a must for a stronger India.
Now, the second concern, Education. I see a significant improvement in this sector but still, more needs to be done. Apart from primary education, govt. should also expand its focus on higher education. Primary education is of no use if you don't support it with quality based higher education. Yesterday, PM promised that more IITs, IIMs and ITIs are to be started. I hope this will become a reality soon. We should also focus on streams like arts, culture, humanities. Technicians bring the innovation but art sustains it. It completes our life with reasons, with music, with paintings. We need to start IIT level institutions for arts also. No mention, political science should be given its due respect after looking at the quality of our politicians.
Another thing is moral values. A good soul is the place from where good deeds evolve. Good education and good health is useless if the moral values are not coaxed. Education is merely a tool. It totally depends on us how we use it. You can create an atomic bomb as well as atomic energy out of same nuclear reaction. Beginning from family values, we should work on business ethics. A monument is given shape only at beginning. Such is the human character. You can teach a child only till he is child. The day he becomes young, you can only give him a finishing touch. At young age, we can provide training to such guns to become entrepreneurs, business leaders, administrators and politicians of tomorrow.
I am sure that with these three things in mind, we can start our journey towards an independent India.
Happy India.
