The document proposes solutions to increase transparency in India's Public Distribution System (PDS). It outlines problems like corruption and diversion of goods from PDS outlets. The team's proposed solutions include implementing an ERP system to integrate PDS departments, using mobile updates to track goods delivery, and introducing smart cards with Aadhaar details for citizens to purchase rations. This would allow transparent monitoring of distribution and prevent illegal sale of goods. The team aims to build on these ideas to improve the system and create a more open and reliable PDS for people across India.
Primary education in India faces several challenges, including low enrollment and attendance rates, high dropout rates before 5th grade, and poor quality of education especially in rural areas and for girls. The government has implemented various programs to address these issues, such as the District Primary Education Program, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, and Operation Blackboard. New initiatives like the Right to Education Act aim to increase access to private schools for underprivileged children. However, improving teacher training and classroom practices will be needed to truly enhance educational quality and outcomes for Indian children.
Drinking water is essential for life but can become contaminated through various sources, posing health risks. Sanitation through hygienic prevention of contact with waste is important for public health. In India, many lack access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation, which can have serious health repercussions like diarrhea, skin diseases, and various infections. The government has undertaken programs to improve rural sanitation and clean water access, but challenges remain in fully achieving these goals.
The document summarizes a study conducted on brain gain in India. It provides details of the study team and methodology used. Key findings include that brain drain has led to gain in four technological areas - ICT, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Most returnees expressed satisfaction with returning to India and had increased qualifications and responsibilities. Suggestions are made to replicate successful state models, improve policies in education, research and industry, and provide incentives to attract more returnees. In conclusion, the study counters myths about brain drain and suggests further research on the value of migration options and effects on institutional development.
The document discusses strategies to improve access to justice in India. At the grassroots level, it proposes creating legal awareness programs, conducting legal aid camps, and establishing legal aid cells run by trained paralegal volunteers. It also aims to strengthen the education system. At the administrative level, the document seeks to reduce case backlogs, appoint more judges, establish additional courts, and implement e-courts and information technology systems. Ensuring timely justice for all citizens across India requires empowering people at the grassroots level through legal awareness as well as positive changes to the administrative system such as reducing delays in the courts.
This document discusses women's empowerment in India. It defines empowerment as gaining power, authority, and influence through having decision-making ability, access to resources and information, positive thinking, and skills. It notes that empowering women is key to global development goals. While women faced social evils historically like sati and child marriage, independence brought efforts to uplift women through education. Literacy and sex ratios have risen in recent decades. Women now participate in all sectors of society, showing their empowerment has occurred through increased participation and access to resources leading to improved status. The empowerment of women is important for families and productivity.
The document discusses key challenges facing the North Eastern states of India, including insurgency, lack of infrastructure, and poor governance. It argues that developing tourism and border trade could help address high unemployment and low GDP in the region by generating jobs and revenue. Specifically, the region has great potential for eco and adventure tourism due to its natural beauty and cultural heritage. Border trade could revive local industries and provide access to new markets, fulfilling the goals of India's "Look East" policy. However, more work is still needed to improve infrastructure and overcome security challenges and isolationist mindsets that have hindered economic development.
Rural India faces significant challenges in providing safe drinking water and sanitation to its large population. Despite significant investments, many rural Indians still lack access to these basic services. Open defecation and waterborne diseases remain widespread problems, negatively impacting public health, education, and economic productivity. Effective solutions will require a multipronged approach including education, community participation, improved infrastructure, and strategies that address the unique needs of both rural and urban areas.
This document proposes changes to the system in India to empower women and ensure their safety and equality. It identifies issues such as jurisdiction problems, lack of evidence, and fear of lodging complaints that prevent crimes against women from being properly addressed. It recommends establishing a women's crime cell to anonymously register complaints, hiring more women in law enforcement, providing self-defense training, educating rural women on their rights, and implementing stricter laws around crimes targeting women. The proposals aim to improve women's mobility, access to resources, decision-making power, and security overall.
This document describes a project called "Sahas: Ek Prayas" aimed at ensuring women's safety and empowerment. The team is from B.P. Poddar Institute of Management and Technology and includes 5 members. The document notes alarming statistics about crimes against women in India such as rapes, dowry deaths, and human trafficking. It states the project's priorities are to educate, empower, and employ women. The proposed solution has two levels: Atma-Suraksha focuses on self-help through distributing self-defense kits and training, while Sarvasva Suraksha aims to improve safety at the community level through vocational training and educational technology.
The document outlines a 5-step plan by a team to improve research and innovation (REIN) in education.

The goal is to address issues like poor education quality, lack of funds, and brain drain by promoting research and innovation from the school to national level.
The document discusses malnutrition in India and proposes strategies to address it. It notes that India has high levels of malnutrition, with over 40% of the world's underweight children under 5 living in India. It analyzes the current situation, noting that India lacks a comprehensive national program to eradicate malnutrition. The root causes of malnutrition are intergenerational and interconnected, stemming from poverty, lack of women's empowerment, insufficient access to nutritious food and healthcare. It proposes specific nutrition interventions and monitoring strategies to combat malnutrition through a multi-sectoral approach.
The document discusses a program initiated by students from the College of Engineering, Pune to enhance the quality of primary education. As part of the program, the students visited areas with low education facilities and identified problems like lack of proper infrastructure, dull teaching methods, and economic barriers.

Connectivity not only looks at physical connectivity but institutional as well as people-to-
people connectivity.
Physical infrastructure is not limited to transportation infrastructure but also explores
energy and communication technology.
Other issues like process and systems integration, including customs simplification and
harmonization of standards to name a few, are also an important focus.
Tourism and ways to facilitate its flow come under the parameters of people to-people
connectivity.
Tourism is not an industry just to earn revenue for the Government but a way of promoting
national integration. It helps people understand each other and creates a feeling of oneness
Initiatives like “Tourism Year”, Celebrity tourist ambassador, package deals during cultural
festivals, inviting movie makers to shoot movies in NER, short films by state transport
department, etc. will help to boost the people to people contact in NER
Tourism is booming in Asia Pacific region, it provides significant appeal for NER to integrate
into the Tourism Landscape of the region and thereby reap the benefits.
There exists the potential out of the strong historical, cultural and ethnic links between
communities in the NER and those of in the South East Asia, has not been harnessed.
Tourist attraction like Buddhism, Buddhist art, World War II memorials, unique lifestyle
attraction such as tea gardens, rhino safari, tiger safari, adventure sports should be
highlighted.
Create backward and forward linkages and in the short-term, market the region from the
tourism angle while exploring the option of integrating with neighboring countries like
Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Bhutan in the long-term.
Given the rise of Asia, opportunities within the region abound and there needs to be some
urgency in seizing the opportunity.

Ideally speaking we have a solution of tribal problems in terms of Panchsheel given by Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru which put stress of path between the complete “isolationism ” approach and
complete “interventionism” approach. We will reiterate that here.
1. develop along the line of their own genius and we should avoid imposing anything on them
2. Tribal rights to land and forest should be respected.
3. try to train and build up a team of their own people to do the work of administration and development.
4. should not over administer these areas or overwhelm them with a multiplicity of schemes.
5. judge results, not by statistics or the amount of money spent, but by the quality of human character that is evolved.
o Videos, pamphlets, SMS in local languages should be spread on the mission mode.
o Involve all the stakeholders – Panchayati Raj Institute, School teachers, local
administrators
o Form teams of 4-5 people with battery powered projector and send them across the
districts to show the health awareness related films
o Arrange a District level “Health Awareness Day/Week” when under one roof all the
programmes will be held
Tribal Development
But we failed in implementing these guidelines miserably due to lust for unbridled greed. Unlike other tribal
communities in India, the NER tribal are literate. Yet lack of awareness programs and divisive factors in the region
have not allowed the population to grow. Heath and education awareness should be spread on the mission mode
like the District Magistrate of Tripura Ms. Saumya Gupta who implemented the initiative “Village Health and
Nutrition Day in Complete Convergence Mode” and was successful in bringing all the stakeholder on the one
platform to improve the health awareness of the tribal people by executing whole program in their local language.
She even got a PM’s award on Civil Servant’s day for her successful execution of initiative.
Strategy

Sunrise States: Realizing the growth
potential of North-East
Disaster management in NER
Types of
Disasters
o Floods – a yearly affair
o Earthquake – Zone 5
o Landslides
o Cyclonic storms
o Drought like situation in winter months
Issues
o Lack of water harvesting
o Rain water run off
o Water level rises above ground level in case of water logging, which is
developing into a regular episode in case of the North-east. This contaminates
the water with harmful bacteria, which may in turn pollute the groundwater.
o Deforestation escalates after effects
o Following guideline of National Disaster Management Authority, which is must
for all the regions
o Two types of intervention : Engineering and Non-engineering
o In France and Sweden, etc., another device of reinforced earth was originally
o designed by French engineer Henri Videl. Earth mass with possibility of slide was
reinforced by steel rods by Henri Videl. These rods can be replaced by bamboo
in the North-east and it is worth trying.
o Anti-bacterial treatment for contamination of water
o The Retrofitting Clinic: extra fittings to lifeline structures which will in
mitigating disasters
o Rain water harvesting at all scale – from household to community level to
district and state level

Sunrise States: Realizing the growth
potential of North-East
Conclusion
North-East India – “Seven Sister + One Brother”, is envisioned as gateway to East Asia but some
also view it as the boundary to ASEAN. Sun rise states which have not enjoy the developmental
fruits in spite abundance of resources. Diversity of region – one of the uniting factor of our
nation, has created road block for economic, social and political growth of the region. Special
status, autonomous council, AFSPA, etc. are the instruments which governments have used but
still devoid of solving the crisis. On legislation front we have adopted the “Decentralization” as
means to govern the country at large but failed to effectively implement as per the Constitution
Amendments. We need to think globally but should act locally to fulfill the Vision 2020 dream for
the North-East India.
Development of NER is not an regional issue today, it is India’s one of the top most “National
Interest”. As backwardness of this region has repercussion in whole of the country in term of
increasing load in mainland cities, illegal immigration from neighboring countries, exploitation of
North-Eastern women is well known fact today. Any other regional issue should not create a
hindrance to this larger national interest, as done by West Bengal during India-Bangladesh treaty.
Rather than using the North-East states to achieve the political aspirations only ,Central
Government should act to harmonize the condition in NER and utilize the economic benefits of
NER to develop NER and even mainland India by effective use of NER potential – Cultural
tourism, Adventure tourism, Biodiversity, Mineral resources, Food industry.
If implemented all the plans, todays “Liability” to country has a potential to become one of the
top-most “asset” to country.
Thank you!!!
