Kuldeep’s Vision of India
India, in my opinion, is progressing; confidently, sure-footedly and markedly to the finishing line of global positioning and significance. My vision of global India is where a politically mature, economically stable and a socially evolved nation sustains and leads.
A younger and committed political leadership, with an eye to the needs of the 'common man' within; devising and executing long-term strategies with global perspective will help India interface with rest of the world. The political leadership will need to plan, prepare and execute relevant, sustainable and long term policies and programs beyond the limited five year time horizon.
The power of education to an individual in creating social awareness and economic freedom is manifolds. Introduction of ‘education cess, the establishment of Prarambhik Shiksha Kosh,, raising of the elementary education budget and, numerous other measures for ensuring the reach of the poor to education can be powerful tools in strengthening the social fabric of our society.
I also believe in the social & economic empowerment of women as they are integral to societal maturity and empowerment. Acts like the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, amended Hindu Succession Act providing equal rights, Gender Budgeting are positive action points in the direction.
For India to achieve a global identity, we cannot ignore the majority of the population - the poor. We have to demonstrate concrete results for breaking the cycle of poverty, through education and employment.
Our political leadership has to have the ability to perceive life, both in the rural and urban spheres, as it exists through the eyes of millions of common people. Bharat Nirman and the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act entitles rural poor to their fundamental right to work. The future of India’s growth lies in a harmony between agriculture and industrialization.
Finally, to leapfrog into the millennium we live in, we need to be pro-active in demonstrating that political and organizational capital is being invested in long term plans and policies.
