By 2020, India is projected to see: 1) A transition away from fossil fuels and nuclear energy to renewable energy sources as technologies advance. 2) Continued challenges with providing higher education access to all due to high private college fees. 3) Ongoing health issues such as infant mortality, maternal mortality, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and other diseases. Individual students are encouraged to take responsibility by keeping India and their environments clean, speaking English well, being disciplined, and working hard to achieve their goals through acquiring knowledge. Small individual changes are needed to gradually develop India.

melting pot of human ethnicities, languages,
cultures, religions, ideologies & world view.
 The health scenario in India is abysmal.
In India, annually 22 lakh infants and children
die from preventable illnesses; 1 lakh mothers
die during child birth, 5 lakh people die of
Tuberculosis. Diarrhoea and Malaria continue
to be killers while 5 million people are
suffering from HIV/AIDS.

3. Individual Responsibility of
STUDENTS
 Feel happy about our country: We need to feel happy
to know about our country. Our children should be
aware of our rich and varied heritage and resources.
 About our environment: A student should keep his
environment (House, school, office, public places)
clean and tidy. Cleanliness is one of the most
important aspects. He should try to stop others from
spitting in public places, urinating in the open and
other characteristics common only among the
people of India which will reduce spreading of
diseases.
 DO IT NOW campaign: Do not postpone. If you feel
you have to do something, do it now. Postponing
things will not help you anyway. You may be free
today by postponing things, but a day will come
when you will have to do everything on the same day
because it is the last day for completing that task.
 Good English Speaking Movement of India: English
is the most commonly used language throughout the
world. Language is not just a tool for passing
examinations and conducting business. Language
builds relationships. It is a life skill which all Indians
should have.
 Discipline: Discipline is very important in life. A
student has to behave in a disciplined manner.
People will be able to judge the character of the
students with their discipline.
