Respected Prime Minister,
My views to build India as a strong nation:
1. Primary education: Currently quality aspect is terribly ignored in primary education in India which is should be the best as this is the very foundation of the nation. Teachers are very low paid. In some states, their salaries are as low as Rs 5000 per month which is even lower than domestic help. Select the best teachers with the best remuneration. Attract talent. A movement should be done to bring the best minds to education instead of going them to join white collars jobs.
2. Basic health care: The successive governments have tried to improve health care in villages, but the budget allocation is minuscule in comparison to the requirements. Encourage establishing more medical colleges, attract students from rural areas, and let them serve villages at least for 3 years. A healthy citizen will build a healthy nation.
3. Rural Economy: We are a nation of an agricultural economy. But unfortunately, our farmer who feeds us is again one of the most neglected persons. He always toils in poverty. He is often a victim of drought or flood. If some time production is more then the market price becomes less than his cost and he has no choice but to destroy his crop. And this is practically repeated every year. It’s criminal. Let our farmers prosper. Provide him storage facility, provide him market, provide him minimum guarantee price. Our most agriculture prosperous state like Punjab is marred with migration to Canada, Australia, and US. Please check it.
4. Research and Development: The Indian taught IITiens, Engineers, doctors are serving USA. No issue. They send hard-earned dollars to us. But we rarely hear any new patent, copyright, or development to their credit. We need very strong R&D departments insulated from political interference. Encourage technocrats to work here. Pay them handsome salaries. Let the nation shine with new technology, medicines, or new methods to its credit.
5. Social security and social recognition:
There is hardly any incentive for tax compliance and therefore the rate of the direct taxpayer is abysmally low. Introduce social security measures like old-age pension, unemployment allowances, free medical care, free primary education which will deter people from tax theft. Reward the taxpayers publicly. Surely results will be tremendous.
6. Role of Babus : So far the role of bureaucrats in India has been perceived as “dadagiri”. Now reverse their role. Give them targets of employment, give them targets of productivity, give them the target of a green and clean environment. Surely, these people will work hand in hand with the industry.
Sir, these are very basic things which could be implemented. Only you require to push and engrave your name permanently in the history of India as a Revolutionist.
