That is true. We should be more focused on skills of people. Skilled people make a prosperous nation.Well, it depends on how do you define the growth. If you believe that GDP rise is the growth than I disagree with it. If growth means the rise in standard of living of marginalized people, than I agree with you. Imagine a scenario in which reliance will double its production and sale. Amabani will grow rich and few employment will be generated.
Now imagine a scenario if India’s agriculture sector is grown by 3.5 lakh crore. An unimaginable happiness and upliftment of masses will happen. Millions of farmers will have money in their hand to spend which will boost the economy because of redistribution of Income.
One cancer drug is sold in India for some 170 bn USD which is sold in US at some 65000 USD. When this drug is sold in US, its economy rises by 65000 usd while same drugs if sold in India will boost Indian economy by 170 USD. So GDP is subjective as well. If a car crash in accident, Economy rises because of sell of new parts and medical expense.
Yoga is some 84 bn USD industries in US. More yoga is done and practiced in India almost free. So I have lost faith in this measurement of GDP as the growth criterion and I feel a strong need to measure growth by some other index. I have seen people living very happily in 4 figure income than people with Income in 5 figures.
Modi has rightly said that there are two communities in india. One which needs the help and other, which can help them.
Once Vajpayee ji told that he will be more happy if he Can do grass root work for the upliftment of people with even moderate growth rate of around 5%. Vajapayee ji’s period of 6 years was a golden period of Indian economy inspite of very moderate growth rate of just 5%. INR appreciated against USD in last 2-3 years of his tenure. 6 Crore jobs were generated. Trade surplus happened by a huge margin of 20 bn USD. India exported huge amount of food grains which were rotten.
Nitin gadkari had rightly said that instead of spending Rs 60 K crore on refinery, if we spend same amount on methanol production, we can change the fate of india’s farming sector. We need to work on grassroot level and spend money there to ensure that wealth so generated out of investment reaches to bottom most people of wealth pyramid rather than same going into the vollets of few people.
I explored some rural area very intensively in last one year. What I saw there was thought provoking. I have begun my work on a small scale which I plan to expand inspite the opposition from family who always insist to enjoy the life with whatever god has given which is way more than my requirement. I will continue to share my experiences and what I have seen. My few effort can bring a big change in the life of people. I have bought the change in the life of one family at least.
That is the true strength of western world. Highly skilled , highly educated , highly innovative workforce. That is the formula followed by Japan and South Korea on way to prosperity.
We need education reform. Divide the entire higher education into two parts.
Research and innovation and engineering medicine for the most intelligent only via national merit exam .
For the rest 90 % students vocational courses with emphasis on different skills like mechanics , solar equipment , agriculture equipment , food processing etc.
No more useless ba ,ma or bsc in duplicitous subjects. Let's creat a nation of actual practical skills not useless paper degrees.
