Dear 17th Prime Minister ... [2/2]

The Game of Thrones has begun and Indians are gearing to choose their next Prime Minister in a month. In the previous blog, I jotted down some points that We, the People of India, expect from our representative. This blog is a continuation of the previous blog. Following are few of the segments that, given good attention, will result in an all round development of our nation.

Dear 17th Prime Minister ... [1/2]

Sports

basketball-dunk"All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy" - we came across this phrase a lot during childhood. In fact, with predominance of young Indian population in the country having lot of energy and potential contained within them, it is the perfect time to fetch maximum output with much lesser input. Indian runner Hima das, winning a gold medal in an international sprint event exemplifies the future prospective of sports in India. The northeastern part of India is a natural pool of budding sportsmen who with proper guidance and nurturing might bring pride for the country in near future. 

Individuals with sporting skills are being recognized and are provided monthly stipend as well as proper training facilities to help them pursue sports as career. Such system is required on a very vast scale in a diverse country like India, where sports is generally given less priority. Shifting of mindset by raising awareness is an utmost necessity too.


Ensuring Safety of Citizens

cars-and-buses-in-indiaSafety of citizens living in the country should be the topmost priority of any government. Especially, in a country like India where in addition to national threats, international anti-peace elements too try to disrupt peace. While India is capable of coping with the international threats, having 4th largest army in the world; others thriving inside the country are somewhat hard to track due to inherent difficulties. Also, radicalisation of youths can be curbed by instilling moral values in them.

Furthermore, crime against women have been constantly rising each year. As of 2012, about 244270 cases of violence against women were reported. A holistic mindset should be adopted for preventing the same apart from what the government and various organisations are doing collectively. They deserve respect not because they are women but because they are human beings too. 

More Investment in Scientific Research and Innovations

basketball-dunk Innovation is key to human existence. With rapid increase in population, natural resources are draining out at a much faster rate. In order to sustain our limited natural resources, innovations are needed to be done to find alternate solutions to different types of problems.

Setting up more elite educational institutions like the IITs, AIIMS, IISc etc. will help in this regard a lot. Easy clearance of funding  for research purposes by the governmental organisations will make the process a lot easier for sure.

Not only is India's exploration limited to the earth but has also expanded to the outer space as well. India have sent missions on Moon and Mars till date. It is on its way to send human beings to space for the first time in Indian history. The success in testing the ASAT missile is yet another milestone achieved by Indian Space Research Organisation. To keep the pace up with fast growing world, we will constantly have to invest more and more in newer technologies and researches.

Development of Infrastructure


infrastructure For the all-round development of a nation, developing its infrastructure is of utmost importance irrespective of geographical location of different regions. Well made roads lead to faster commute and consumes less time. Also, emergency services will be available on time. Roads devoid of potholes will help in decreasing the number of road accidents. Properly made school buildings keeping in view the basic needs of the curriculum will be beneficial for them in long run. Hospitals having good infrastructure and equipment will enable doctor to treat patients in a better way. Malls and departmental stores too are of great help and convenient for the general public to meet their needs 

Wrapping whole things up, I am of the opinion that India has been a rapidly developing country since independence. The invaders left this beautiful country with much devastating consequences and lesser constructiveness; yet it has managed itself to emerge as a fast growing large economy of the world. Apart from the things that I tried to point out, I would like my next Prime Minister in his five year term to look into sectors such as Agriculture (which certainly needs a dedicated blog) such that a strong foundation of an inclusive society where every species can sustain and thrive in peace can be built.

Can Rahul Gandhi's resignation revive the Congress Party?

About 8.3 crores new voter voted in the last Lok Sabha elections, myself being one among them. So, as far as I learnt and know about the recent past of the Congress party, I would say it would be hard.. very hard for resuscitating the party once again considering Rahul Gandhi’s resignation as well. Rahul Gandhi has been the President of the party since quite some years, but now he finally decided to step down after his resignation letter was turned down by the working committee some months back. The party has just lost its charms. With all those allegations of scam on several top class leaders of the party, and less or no improvement in the grass root level workers, have even deteriorated the places which were known to be the stronghold of Congress. The recent defeat of Rahul Gandhi in the hands of Smriti Irani indicates the same. There were several states where congress’s list remained null in the elections for Lok Sabha 2019. On the other hand, what I have seen in the case of...

Masood Azhar: Global Terrorist. What's next?

Masood Azhar, the mastermind behind the Pulwama attack, has finally been designated a global terrorist by the United Nations. Earlier attempts to blacklist him were unsuccessful, owing to China blocking the proposals. However, in what is seen as a diplomatic victory for India, the Jaish-e-Mohammad chief is now a global terrorist, a culmination of efforts by a number of countries viz., India, France, US, UK among others. So, what does it mean for India? More importantly, what does it mean for Masood Azhar and Pakistan? When someone is identified as a global terrorist by the sanctions committee in the UN, a number of restrictions are imposed on the said entity. The measures include: Asset freeze: All or any of the assets of the designated individuals or entities are required to be frozen by the member states of UN. The basic idea is to dry out the funds that sponsor terrorism. Travel ban: The UN member states are required to deny passage to the designated entities through the...

It's NOT Cool, It Kills - "World No Tobacco Day" Special

We all had at-least once came across that pre-movie ad featuring Mukesh, who suffers and dies because of his chewing addiction. Every packet of cigarette and chewing tobacco comes with statutory warning signs, but it is indeed an unfortunate affair that India accounts for more than 12% of the world’s smokers.  Smoking cannabis has been in existence in India since 2000 B.C. Tobacco was introduced in India in 17th century and this mingled up with the existing habit of cannabis smoking. Since then, numbers of smokers and tobacco chewers in India have increased with leaps and bounds. More than 10 million people are dying each year due to tobacco related illnesses. More than 36,000 men died in the year 2012 due to oral cancer of which a major portion was due to consumption of tobacco products.  There are many factors promoting the consumption of tobacco. One among them is the film industry. They often showcase the good guys consuming tobacco products (mostly cigars). As per...
