Two decades ago, few people would have thought that ordinary Computer user might want a powerful search engine. But that’s What Google gave Customers – something most people had no idea they wanted. However, once it was in existence, the product become virtually indispensable. The ability to take a leap of imagination is an elusive area. Yet, if one organization, country, individual doesn’t do it, someone else probably will, and change the rules of the game. As Alvin Toffler said “The illiterates of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
Similarly, every Country needs a vision statement which Stirs the imagination and motivate all segments of Society to greater effort. It is an essential step in building a Consensus on a broad notional development strategy, which encompasses, inter–alia, the roles and responsibilities of different agents in the economy, Such as Central, state and local government, the private Corporate Sector, the small and tiny sector, people’s organisation etc. It must identify the potential risks and bottlenecks and their possible solutions in order to mobilise efforts in a focused manner. It is clear, therefore, that to meet these objectives, a vision statement has to operate of several levels of generality and specificity.
A Combination of Sustained high economic growth, expanding military capabilities, and large population will be at the root of the expected rise in economics and political power for India.As it has a force of 540 million youth below the age of 25 years and every youth must have Confidence that “I can do it This determination alone could make India a developed Country.
Education of Women is key to small family and to bring down population growth rate to one for thousand.
The Country is surplus in food grains with production of 200 million tones, but it had to be increased to 400 million tones by 2020.
By Interlinking Rivers we can divert the water from Surplus rivers to deficit rivers .As I come from a flood effected area i.e from Darbhanga (Bihar) and am currently staying in Delhi which has a shortage of water in both the case there is a threat. therefore by interconnecting river it would not only control floods and drought but also provide water for irrigation, drinking and hydro power projects and generate millions of Employment across the Country.
GDP growth rate should be increased from Six percent to minimum 10 per cent and sustained for a decade to bring 260 million people living below poverty lime, out of poverty.
In orders to achieve this 20 per cent should come from value addition in agriculture, 30 percent from Industry and the remaining 50 per cent from information technology, Biotechnology, BPO and communication sector. Software and hardware development has wide scope for innovations.
By 2020, interactive multimedia will evolve into participative media-entertainment experience designed by consumers. Today we have ‘video on demand’ where you can order any movie you want from you cable or satellite Company. By 2020, this idea will have evolved to multi sensory, ‘experience-on-demand. We will be able to act out any fantasy in any place, and any time of our choosing we will be able to walk on the Great Wall of China, with sights, sounds, even smells that will create multi sensory experience. Interactive games will become so real that the distinction between virtual reality and actual reality will become blurred. We may even be able to insert ourselves into a move and arrange the script to produce the emotions we would like.
The classroom in 2020 will be global, virtual and personalized. We will learn biology from the perspective of the ant, learn oceanography by diving deep below a virtual ocean. Surgeons will learn Surgery by performing remote surgery on virtual patients, just as pilots today learn to fly on simulators. Opportunities are endless.
By 2020, the world GDP may exceed by $50 trillion with more than $35 trillion coming from services. If India grabs 3 per cent of this global service pie, touching a trillion dollars in this segment is a potential reality. Interesting, if India continues to grow at about 31 per cent in export of IT and BPO, then in itself would yield a trillion dollars for the country by 2020.
Biotechnology
India, like the rest of the would, recognizes biotechnology as the next big economic opportunity in the knowledge sector as India’s chemical engineering skill make us potential world leaders in biotech equipment. India’s global biotech ambitions look achievable given the human pools as powerful as those of Iceland coupled with country’s vast disease diversity, this provides an unparalleled research opportunity for generating new medical wisdom.
Added to this is India’s Inherent knowledge base of Ayurvedic and Unani Medicine. By 2010, India should be in place as a strong bio partner for global companies.
If the world’s burden of disease is to be diminished, it needs science that is both good and cost effective. India has the potential to deliver on science that is both
Accelerating Urbanisation
Urbanisation is an irreversible trend that has been creeping up on us. India’s population, which was 300 million and 15 per cent Urbanised in 1947, will be 1.5 billion and 50 percent Urbanised over the next few decades. Upgrading 400 towns and cities will be far more feasible than that of upgrading 6,00,000 villages.
The first important benefit of having more cities and towns is that it will enhance the rate of economic growth. Our cities will be brands, competing with other Cities around the world for Investment. They are our engines of growth. The key to fulfilling our vision therefore, is to see Urbanisation not as a problem, but as an opportunity.
Europe was poor Compared to Asia till 16th Century; but became wealthy 300 years later
Japan began its race for prosperity from Meiji retoration of 1865 and Joined OECD, the rich nation club in 1965 about 100 years later.
South Korea was devasted by war till the early ‘50S, but Joined OECD about 50 years later.
It’s possible that china can make it by 2023, 45 years after Deng xiaoping decided it was good to be rich.
If India stays on Course, is there a reason why we cant be global power by 2020 and Join OECD by 2026, 40 years after Rajiv Gandhi’s first reformist policies kicked in?
I am pretty sure that the answer to the next question by the drivers of generation next will be a big no.
6% of world GDP
21% of world population
Do you believe these proportions will remain constant?
As someone has rightly said “If the planet is to survive, then India must become the world’s laboratory where innovative solution are developed to combat communalism, poverty, urban chaos and environmental degradation. India, therefore, is condemned to creativity”.
This is not a pipe dream. We together can make the best acknowledge us one of the best.
