Challenges before the New Indian government
Right now, India is standing at a crossroad when the world is still struggling with an unprecedented financial crisis and an economic slowdown. There are several challenges before the new Indian government.
INDIA IS plagued by several problems. These are usually placed on the shoulders of the common man after every general election, before which they are issues to be raised, debated upon and used as planks to assemble enough votes. It's often been observed that people vote their favourite political parties to power to facilitate themselves and minimise their problems, through their favourite persons at the helm of affairs but in vain. India's population is growing faster than its ability to produce rice and wheat. The country stands second in farm output in the world and is the largest producer of milk, cashew nuts, coconuts, tea, ginger, turmeric, and black pepper. Still, in the areas of major crops, viz. rice, wheat, etc., India stands much behind. The government should ensure that Indian agriculture continues to grow at a steady rate. EconomyDuring this time of a worldwide downturn, India's prime duty is to restore high rates of economic growth of 9% p.a. as soon as possible, offering hopes for a stable administration. Three out of four Indians live on less than $2 a day, according to the World Bank. CorruptionAs per one of our most popular former prime ministers, just a fraction of anti-poverty funds actually make it into the hands of the poor. It's been a phenomenon that every aspect of Indian society has been riddled with corruption. The political corridors, the judiciary, the law enforcement, public services; there is no such area that can be certified to be free from corruption. InfrastructureIndia has one of the poorly developed infrastructure and facilities. The fact is that no single government has ever taken it seriously. India does not have one world-class highway. Even the most developed of Indian metropolitan cities have electrical power issues, not to mention the grievous power issues in Delhi. Cities like Mumbai and Chennai, etc. have severe water issues, and transportation is a mess in many parts of India. ReservationsAlthough the word 'reservation' looks or sounds good on paper, the reality is far more threatening. We need to do away with election politics, vote banks, and should stop the ill practices in the society by discontinuing the beliefs and practices of the old caste system instead of eliminating those from the public conscience. Most of India's educational institutes and most of the government employment vacancies are reserved for the underprivileged. However, the government has no idea so as to how many fraudulent activities are happening all around centring around the issue of reservation. TerrorismA prime example here is that Kasab, the lone captured terrorist in the Mumbai 26/11 attacks, is still alive and has even been given chance to resist any likely negative stand against him by being provided with legal assistance. What is the noble point in lingering this issue by spending so much public money on his case and his safety? Now that the elections are over and the vote banks aren't issues for another five years, citizens should not be treated like foster children. EnergyEnergy policy of India should be reconstituted without any further delay. As per Ministry of New and renewable Energy, Government of India, there is a well-set plan, which is likely to provide energy sufficiency by maximizing the utilization of resources, such as Wind Power, Small Hydro Power, Biomass Power, Urban & Industrial waste to Energy, Solar Energy, Small Wind Energy & Hybrid System, Small Hydro Power, Biomass Gasifier etc. Yet, these plans are hardly executed. ClimateClimate-friendly technologies should be implemented, so that the environment gets rid of any negative effects. As per the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a metre rise in sea level would displace about 7 million people in India. Moreover, changes to India's annual monsoon are expected to result in severe droughts and intense flooding in parts of India. As per scientists' prediction, by the end of the century the country will likely experience a 3c to 5c rise in temperature. Gangotri glacier in the Himalayas is retreating at a speed of about 30 meters every year. If the warming continues, it will melt rapidly, releasing large volumes of water but once this source begins drying, there may be dry periods with very little water flowing in the river.

.... nice analysis indeed. Points need to be noted down by some of the corrupted political leaders and some insane persons in our society. They all should stop spending the taxes we all are paying for the all-round development of our nation.
Is anyone listening !!!
Really a wake up call ...
.Good analysis... hope some of these points ever make any inroad into the thick-walled politicians and large stoicism of common man.
Thanks Mr BPrasad for your esteemed and valuable opinion. A paradigm shift of mindset is badly needed in the minds of our respectable politicians to stop playing nasty politics. Moreover, stoicism is highly criticised in this connection, and the common men should treat all these situations as wake-up calls.
Thanks a lot Ved!
