Every country needs a vision statement
which stirs the imagination and motivates all segments of society
greater effort. It is an essential step in building a political
consensus on a broad national development strategy, which encompasses
inter-alias, 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 organizations etc.
It must identify the potential risks and
bottlenecks and their possible solutions in order to mobilize efforts in
a focused manner. It is clear, therefore that to meet these objectives,
a vision statement has to operate at several levels of generality and
specificity. India in 2020 - A Vision It has always been the dream of
every citizen of an economically backward and poor country, to see that
the country developed with no negative systems or ideas or beliefs. It
is my dream also to see India as one of the most developed nations.
2020 is a good deadline for seeing a
developed India. One always feels sad when we see someone begging on the
streets or when we see dirty, broken roads in shabby slums. One also
feels jealous when we hear about the United States advancing in every
field. By 2020, India will be on the same platform on which America is
now. The first and foremost thing I see in India 2020 is 100 percent
literacy rate. Every citizen in the country will be able to read, write
and understand any one language including the farmers and slum-dwellers.
India will not have any unemployment. The
people will earn their bread and there shall be none called 'beggars'.
The beggars will also be employed at least as sweepers earning a small
but a salary of their own. The people shall be above the poverty line.
Education is the second main thrust area of this document.
Greater coverage and better quality
education at all levels from basic literacy to hi-tech science and
technology is the essential prerequisite for raising agricultural
productivity and industrial quality, spurring growth of India's budding
and biotechnology sectors, stimulating growth of Manufactured and
service exports, improving health and nutrition, domestic stability and
quality of governance. The report calls for concerted efforts to abolish
illiteracy, achieve 100 per cent enrolment at primary and secondary
levels, and broaden access to higher education and vocational training
through traditional and non- traditional delivery system
India in 2020 will not have recognition
in the world as a developing country but a name as a developed country.
India will be far advanced in the fields of science, military,
technology. India will stand up and say I am the world leader and I
don't take orders from anybody be it USA, Russia or anybody else for the
matter. I will decide my own decisions and will stand to it. And also
India will take an active step in the development of other below par
countries and strive for their development.
