To be or not to be is the Question.....

Congratulations to all my countrymen. We have stepped into our 68th year of Independence.

India has developed a lot. India has become a major economy  ....and we all are proud of it.  But.....

Who are reaping the fruits of this development?   .....mainly the upper class  and the middle class ( a bit ). What about the Poor and Lower Middle Class, who are the majority ( may be more than 70% of the population  ....well, please don't go by our government's definition about 'Below Poverty Line' or such )?

We talk about Class Difference:   there are only 2 classes in India  ....one who can Read, Write and Speak English well   .....they can get a well paid job anytime; and there is the other   ....who doesn't know English well  ....without any Skill Training they are Unemployable; and scope of skill training from the govt. is minuscule compared to the population. There are so many loopholes!

I don't think this is a mistake while making the Policy. It is well formulated by the politicians to keep the youth unemployed, so that Politicians can use them at low cost; at the same time the youth won't fight much due to less exposure.

I give some more examples........

Sarva Shiksha Avyan ( Full Literacy Mission ), ICDS ( Integrated Child Development Dcheme ), National Child Labour Project (NCLP), Yamuna Action Plan  ......so many Programs  .....and all flops!   Billions of Rupees  ....what is the Outcome? ....by the way, if you feel that just being able to write your name makes you literate or just to attend Aanganwadi to get or distribute food make sense  .....we will carry on the shame for the lifetime.

Behaving like Ostriches will not help. 

Come   .....Join Hands   ....We all have some Capacities or Resources  ...Put them Together   ....Pull up the 2nd class ( they are the Majority  ....and Only Uplifting Them can Change the Fate of India in Global Marketplace).

Thanks for reading......
