Pre-1956;
The subcontinent of India has been ruled by many
different ethnic groups throughout its history, each
imposingtheirownadministrative divisionsonthe region.
ModernIndia's current administrative divisions are fairly
recent developments, which began to develop during
Britishcolonial rule of India. British India included almost
all of present-dayIndia, Pakistan,andBangladesh, as well
as the associated protectorate of Afghanistan and
province, later colony, of Burma (Myanmar). During this
period, regions of India were either directly ruled by the
Britishor underthe control of local rajas. Independencein
1947 largelypreservedthese divisions,withthe provinces
of Punjab and Bengal being divided between India and
Pakistan. One of the first challenges for the new nation
was the integration of the multitude of princely states
into the union.
4. Followingindependence,however, instability soon arose
in India. Many of the provinces had been created by the
Britishtoserve theircolonial purposesandassuch didnot
reflect either the will of India's citizens or the ethnic
divisions found throughout the subcontinent. Ethnic
tensionsspurredthe Indian Parliament to reorganize the
countryalongethnicand linguistic lines in 1956 by means
of the States Reorganization Act.
After 1956;
The formerFrenchand Portuguese colonies in India were
incorporatedintothe Republic as the union territories of
Pondicherry,Dadra,NagarHaveli, Goa, Daman, and Diu in
1962.
Several new states and union territories have been
created out of existing states since 1956. Bombay State
was split into the linguistic states of Gujarat and
Maharashtra on 1 May 1960 by the Bombay
Reorganization Act. The Punjab Reorganization Act of
1966 divided the Punjab along linguistic and religious
lines, creating a new Hindu and Hindi-speaking state of
Haryana, transferring the northern districts of Punjab to
Himachal Pradesh, and designating Chandigarh, the
shared capital of Punjab and Haryana, a union territory.
Nagaland was made a state in 1962, Meghalaya and
Himachal Pradesh in 1971, and Tripura and Manipur in
1972. Arunachal Pradesh was made a union territory in
1972. The Kingdomof Sikkimjoined the Indian Union as a
state in 1975. Mizoram was made a state in 1986, and
Goa and Arunachal Pradeshin 1987, while Goa's northern
exclaves of Daman and Diu became a separate union
territory. In 2000 three new states were created;
Chhattisgarh (November 1, 2000) was created out of
eastern Madhya Pradesh, Uttaranchal (November 9,
2000), since renamed Uttarakhand, was created out of
the Hilly regions of northwest Uttar Pradesh, and
Jharkhand (15 November 2000) was created out of the
southerndistricts of Bihar. The Union Territories of Delhi
and Pondicherry (renamed to Puducherry) have since
been given the right to elect their own legislatures and
they are now counted as small states. Source[8]
It isverymuch necessarytoconsiderall these history before we start forming the VPA. We need to
start VPA in all the states and in the union territories, excluding the areas which come under
5. corporations(Citiesandtowns) where the people will be involved entirely in a different profession
other than agriculture.
By the historywe can come to knowIndiawas ruledbymanypeople like British,French,Portuguese,
Dutch, andso on, inthe pre independence centuries.Isita boon or bad to the native Indian is many
times discussed by many intelligent people. Many people may say the language English and the
technology revolution had happened because of the entry of British to India. Technology and
language entryishappeningnowalso,butwe retain our independence and administration. We are
at lossdue to the entryof Britishbecause they have carried lot of natural and artificial wealth from
Indiato theircountryduringtheiradministrationoverIndia.How didtheyenterin to the nation and
whydidthey enter in to the nation we all know. Since the subcontinent of India has been ruled by
many different ethnic groups through princes each imposing their own administrative through
ministers and relatives. But these ministers and relatives of the princes were not faithful to the
prince or sometimes the prince himself was not faithful to the people. British used this weakness
effectivelyandoccupiedthe entire nationand ruled India for many centuries and made Indian very
poor.Since the princes,ministersandthe relativesof the princesdidnothadthe sense on long term
effect of helping the people from different nation other than business lead to loss of wealth and
Indiabecame poor.Quarrel betweenthe adjacent ethnic groups or kingdoms, doing ‘Ashwamedha
Yaga’ to depictthem as most powerful kingdom all lead to quarrel – wars – conflicts and landed up
in the easy entry of people who looted the whole nation.
So, it is very much necessary to create the VPA with uniform protocols and better administration
through democracy from the level of VPA till the national level for effective development with
‘peace’.All the peopleandthe all the VPA should understand that ‘no one is superior and no one is
inferior, all of them are working based on the principle of cooperation and coordination’ to make
ourselvesbetterinthisrapidlydevelopingworld.Those areasare which are within the geographical
area of India but does not want to go along with the main stream needs to be analyzed and they
may be the potential dangertothe nationand the nation need to take the suitable measures for it.
1.2. F&F - Geography of India
[Geography of India:

Bhutan:699 km (434 mi), Afghanistan:106 km
(66 mi).
Highest point - K2: 8,611 m (28,251 ft), lowest
point - Kuttanad-2.2 m (−7.2 ft). Longest river -
6. Ganges–Brahmaputra; India measures 3,214 km
(1,997 mi) from north to south and 2,993 km
(1,860 mi) from east to west. It has a land frontier
of 15,200 km (9,445 mi) and a coastline of
7,517 km (4,671 mi).
Its borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh were
delineated according to the Radcliffe Line, which
was created in 1947 to partition India on religious
lines before independence from British rule.
Located to its west, Pakistan's border with India
runs 3,323 km (2,065 mi), dividing the Punjab
regionandalongthe boundariesof the Thar Desert
and the Rann of Kutch. Both nations delineated a
Line of Control (LoC) to serve as the informal
boundary between the Indian and Pakistan-
administeredareasof Kashmir.AccordingtoIndia's
claim, it shares a 106 km (66 mi) border with
Afghanistan in northwestern Kashmir, which is
under Pakistani control.
India's border with Bangladesh runs 4,096.70 km
(2,546 mi).There are 92 enclavesof Bangladesh on
Indian soil and 106 enclaves of India are on
Bangladeshi soil. The Teen Bigha Corridor is a strip
of land formerly belonging to India on the West
Bengal–Bangladesh border which has been leased
indefinitely to Bangladesh so that it can access its
Dehgram–Angalpota enclaves.
The Line of Actual Control (LAC) is the effective
borderbetweenIndiaandthe People's Republic of
China.It traverses4,057 kmalongthe Indian states
of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal
Pradesh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. Both
nationsclaimthe Aksai Chin regionof northeastern
Kashmir,whichfell intoChinese control during the
Sino-Indian War of 1962.The border with Burma
(Myanmar) 1,643 km(1,021 mi) alongthe southern
borders of India's northeastern states. Located
amidst the Himalayan range, India's border with
Bhutan runs 699 km (434 mi). The border with
Nepal runs 1,751 km (1,088 mi) along the foothills
of the Himalayas in northern India. The Siliguri
Corridor, narrowed sharply by the borders of
Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh, connects
7. peninsular India with the northeastern states.
The Ganges is the longest river in India and forms
the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Ganges-Brahmaputra

far south, to Alpine in the upper reaches of the
Himalay.

Property documentation plays an important role in maintaining the geography of the nation as its
own.By whichIndiawill knowwhatare the landbelongsto the nation. Writing maps and keeping it
inthe libraryof the parliamenthouse will notmake the landasthe landof the nation. The people of
India should be able to utilize the land in a productive way, and then only the land will be actively
involvedinthe nation, otherwise we will tell our younger generation as it is belonging to us in the
school syllabus, but people from different nation may be occupying that area without our
knowledge. We have about fifteen thousand kilometers of land border that we need to protect,
preserve andutilizethe landinside.Justkeeping an eye over it by the border security force will not
solve the problem;people needtoutilizeall the landeffectively.We needthose lands especially for
the sake of water sources. For example we wanted to utilize the water of river Ganga, Yamuna,
Brahmaputra,tributariesof IndusvalleywhichrunsinJammuandKashmirthe neighboringcountries
may tell theyare our rivers,thenthe problemsrelated to borders will add to the existing problems
of the borderand we will notbe able toutilize those waterthroughour RCS and there is problem of
continuation of drought situation in most of the parts of India.
It is very much necessary to create the VPA all over the nation in order to prevent the ‘modern
geographic challenges for India like drying of rivers and wetlands, erosion of highlands and
mountains, desertification, rising sea levels and alterations in the course of rivers’ by establishing
VPA all overthe nationand convertingthinforestsintothickforestandimplantinguseful treesatall
the possible placesespeciallyathighlands.Thisispossible onlybythe active participationof people
in all the steps like in the process of plant implantation and its maintenance. Many a times the
governmentmayspendmoneytoimplantthe plantsbutlongrunmaintenance will notbe done due
to many reasons, VPA will solve all these problems.
8. 1.3. F&F – Population density of India.
[Map showing the population density of each district in
India, based on 2001 census.
Boundary of Indian claim: The extent up to which the
Indianadministrationclaimsasrightfullytheirs, but is not
recognized by China and Pakistan.
Line of Control: The defector administrative boundary
recognized by the international community, but not by
India, China and Pakistan. This boundary is a temporary
solution to the ongoing conflict. The northern state of
Jammu & Kashmir is claimed entirely by both India and
Pakistan(AzadKashmir) and partly by China (Aksai Chin).
It is currently divided between all three countries.
The north eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh is almost
entirelyclaimedbyChinaaspart of its territory. The state
is recognized as a part of India by every country except
China.
A small area of Uttarakhand adjoining the Nepal border
along the Sarda river is disputed between the two
9. countries. Source[10]
We can see thatthe densityof the populationismore insome of the stateslike Uttarpradesh,Bihar,
Haryana, Delhi,westBengal andKerala. It may be due to existence of old civilization, fertile lands
and better water source
With the establishmentof RCS-VPA-MV-MN all the places will have same access for irrigation and
the earningsinall the places becomes equal thus the people may slowly migrate to all the places.
The explanationmaybe ‘more peopleinone place will getlesser income because the total income
will be dividedtoall the workingpeopleof the VPA’.Sothere isapossibilitythatpeople will migrate
to VPA with lesser Working members.
It is also seen that the northern part of the Jammu and Kashmir is colored brown depicting the
doubtful attachmentof thisareato INDIA by the map creator. We are also aware about the border
disputesbetweenIndiaandPakistan –China– Nepal – Bangladesh.Indiaasanation should involve
all its land for productive work as an industry by creating new VPA. Only the border security force
looking after the border continuously will not solve the problem. The people with the mind who
love India should involve in those areas with some productive work, the government and the
securityforce should support this programme, thus the India will retain its land. We know people
migrate for many reasons, especially for job. If we create jobs through VPA where agriculture
becomesthe industryandthe people get the job and property in the form of land, then only India
can retainitslandand the land can be securedandthus the people inside the nationwill be secure.
1.4. F&F – Population of India.
[Population of India, India Population
Studies & research on India's population; The
population in India as at 0:00 hours on 1st March
2001 stood at 1,027,015,247 persons. With this,
Indiabecame onlythe second country in the world
after China to cross the one billion mark. ( India is
the 2nd most populated country in the world)
India's estimated population to be 1,129,866,154,
in July 2007.India's population rose by 21.34 %
between 1991 to 2001. The sex ratio (i.e., number
of femalesperthousand males) of population was
933, rising from 927 as at the 1991 Census. Total
literacy rate in India was returned as 65.38%.
Persons: 1,027,015,247.
Males: 531,277,078.
10. Females: 495,738,169.
Source[11]
So, India has crossed billion in population long back. Every person needs good air, clean drinking
water,nutritiousfood,asecure place tostay.As the populationgrowsinsucha fast phase,doall get
these basic needs even if they work all the time? We see problems related to water, air pollution,
people stayingwithhunger and children with malnutrition. That indicates that there is a mismatch
betweenthe raise inpopulationandthe accessibilitytothe basicneedandthe income of the people
even though they work for the entire day.
RCS-VPA-MV-MN will solve these entire mismatches. It is possible increase the productivity,
maintain good environment, and provide clean water through MV-MN, people will get better
income andfoodthroughVPA,andwe can control the populationinabetterwaythrough VPA –VPH
and people can have better family life with VPA.
1.5. F&F – Population structure and dynamics.
[Population of India, India Population
Structure and Dynamics;
Populationof India; although India occupies only 2.4% of
the world's land area, it supports over 15% of the world's
population. Only China has a larger population. Almost
40% of Indians are younger than 15 years of age. About
70% of the people live in more than 550,000 villages, and
the remainder in more than 200 towns and cities. Over
thousands of years of its history, India has been invaded
from the Iranian plateau, Central Asia, Arabia,
Afghanistan, and the West; Indian people and culture
have absorbedandchangedthese influencestoproduce a
remarkable racial and cultural synthesis.
Source[12]
Decreasingthe populationtodecrease the densityof population,decreasing the number of villages
and creating the less model village with better infrastructure to decrease the migration, better
administrationbythe natives and better communication and coordination between adjacent VPA,
thus create the situation in such a way no one invades in any way and create problems later as the
lessons learn from the history. Property documentation with ‘family tree and PIN’ in VPA will
decrease most of the problems like invasion.
11. 1.6. F&F – Religion, caste and language in India.
[Population of India, India Population
Religion, caste, and language are major
determinantsof social andpolitical organization in
India today. The government has recognized 18
languages as official; Hindi is the most widely
spoken.
Although83% of the people are Hindu,India also is
the home of more than 120 million Muslims--one
of the world's largest Muslim populations. The
population also includes Christians, Sikhs, Jains,
Buddhists, and Parsis.
The caste system reflects Indian occupational and
religiouslydefinedhierarchies. Traditionally, there
are four broad categories of castes (varnas),
including a category of outcastes, earlier called
"untouchables" but now commonly referred to as
"dalits."
Withinthese broadcategoriesthere are thousands
of castes and sub castes, whose relative status
varies from region to region. Source[12]
Languageswill take itsownturndependinguponthe need of the world. The course will not change
withthe peoplesefforts to retain some language and to eradicate some language, the technology,
jobopportunity,education,needsof the peopleandthe life style of the people will decide aboutthe
language and no one can change the path.
The principlesof all the religionsare goodinits‘religiousbook’, but the understanding the same by
the differentpeoplemaydifferandthe practicesof the people belongingtodifferentreligiondiffers.
This difference in understanding and difference in practice always goes against the unity and
development.We maysay ‘unityindiversity’inourspeech,butinreal practice thismaynot happen.
So the governmentwhorunsthe nationshould focus these issues and ‘make all the religion as one
and the uniformpracticesbyall the people’.Thiswill minimize all the religion related problems and
all the people can live peacefully. To achieve these goals in a short period is difficult, but if the
effortsare not putin thiswaythenthe numberof castes andreligionswillpopupindifferent places
and many even in one place and it can hamper the normal function of the VPA. It is because
differentgroupof people will ask holidays in different days of the week, different group of people
will take breakat differenttime of the work to do their religious practices and so on. So eradicating
the namesof religionand caste, but keeping the good morals which are present in all the religious
books and making all the people do involve in their work with uniform work protocols all over the
nation should be the first work we need to do on an emergency basis.
12. With VPA the socioeconomic status of all the people will become equal – this factor will help the
societyinthe programme of eradication the religion and caste. Good principle from all the religion
can be practicedwithoutthe name of anyreligion.Thinkerscanthinkand advise ‘what are the good
practices’ and can advise the younger generation through the VPA.
1.7. F&F – Caste as the source of social identification.
[Population of India, India Population;
Despite economic modernization and laws countering
discrimination against the lower end of the class
structure, the caste system remains an important source
of social identification for most
Hindus and a potent factor in the political life of the
country.
IndiaPopulation:The 1991 final censuscount gave India a
total population of 846,302,688. However, estimates of
India's population vary widely. According to the
PopulationDivision of the United Nations Department of
International EconomicandSocial Affairs, the population
had already reached 866 million in 1991. The Population
Division of the United Nations Economic and Social
Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) projected
896.5 million by mid-1993 with a 1.9 percent annual
growth rate. The United States Bureau of the Census,
assuming an annual population growth rate of 1.8
percent, put India's population in July 1995 at
936,545,814. These higher projections merit attention in
light of the fact that the Planning Commission had
estimatedafigure of 844 millionfor1991 while preparing
the Eighth Five-Year Plan (FY 1992-96; see Population
Projections, this ch.). Source[12]
Withthe establishmentof VPA andPIN systemall the data’swill be automaticallygeneratedandit is
accurate. No one will tell that this is not accurate and the real number is different. The need for
repeated census will not arise.
13. 1.8. F&F – Land and population of India in the world.
[Population of India, India Population
India accounts for some 2.4 percent of the world's
landmass but is home to about 16 percent of the global
population. The magnitude of the annual increase in
population can be seen in the fact that India adds almost
the total populationof AustraliaorSri Lanka every year. A
1992 studyof India'spopulationnotesthatIndiahasmore
people than all of Africa and also more than North
America and South America together. Between 1947 and
1991, India's population more than doubled. Source[12]
Lesslandand more populationwill leadtoincreasedutilizationof nature more thanitsregeneration,
which in turn will lead to complications like desertification, deforestation, soil erosion, global
warming, and water – air – noise pollution and so on.
WithVPA and VPH, the population growth can be controlled well, thus we can minimize the injury
on the nature and subsequent complication.
1.9. F&F –Demographic transition in India.
[Population of India, India Population;
Throughout the twentieth century, India has been in the
midstof a demographictransition.Atthe beginningof the
century, endemic disease, periodic epidemics, and
famines kept the death rate high enough to balance out
the highbirth rate. Between 1911 and 1920, the birth and
deathrateswere virtuallyequal--about forty-eight births
and forty-eight deaths per 1,000 populations. The
increasing impact of curative and preventive medicine
(especiallymassinoculations) broughta steady decline in
the deathrate. By the mid-1990s, the estimatedbirthrate
had fallen to twenty-eight per 1,000, and the estimated
death rate had fallen to ten per 1,000. Clearly, the future
configuration of India's population (indeed the future of
India itself) depends on what happens to the birth rate
(see fig. 8). Even the most optimistic projections do not
suggest that the birth rate could drop below twenty per
1,000 before the year 2000. India's population is likely to
exceed the 1 billion mark before the 2001 census.
Source[12]
14. It is necessary to decrease both birth and death rate, it is better if we create the society with the
populationwithbetterhealth –longlife – better working capability for longer period of age. This is

will not be a problem. All these things can be achieved with VPA-MV-MN.
1.10. F&F – People per square kilometer of land in India.
[Population of India, India Population:
Population in India density has risen concomitantly with
the massive increases in population. In 1901 India
counted some seventy-seven persons per square
kilometer; in 1981 there were 216 persons per square
kilometer; by 1991 there were 267 persons per square
kilometer--up almost 25 percent from the 1981
populationdensity(seetable 4,Appendix).India'saverage
populationdensityishigher than that of any other nation
of comparable size. The highest densities are not only in
heavilyurbanizedregionsbutalsoinareasthat are mostly
agricultural. Source[12]
‘Increasingpopulationdensity’isone of the worstindicatorswill leadtoadverse effects due to over
usage of nature and subsequent complications? Since India is one of the countries with highest
population density, vigorous methods to control the population need to be taken and this work
becomes easy with VPA-VPH-MV-MN.
1.11. F&F – Urban agglomerations.
[Population of India, India Population
The 1991 census, which was carried out under the
direction of the Registrar General and Census
Commissioner of India (part of the Ministry of Home
Affairs),inkeepingwiththe previous two censuses, used
the term urban agglomerations. An urban agglomeration
forms a continuous urban spread and consists of a city or
townand itsurban outgrowthoutside the statutorylimits.
Or, urban agglomerate may be two or more adjoining
citiesortownsand theiroutgrowths.A university campus
or militarybase locatedon the outskirts of a city or town,
whichoftenincreasesthe actual urban area of that city or
15. town, is an example of an urban agglomeration. In India
urban agglomerations with a population of 1 million or
more--there were twenty-four in 1991--are referred to as
metropolitan areas. Places with a population of 100,000
or more are termed "cities" as compared with "towns,"
which have a population of less than 100,000. Including
the metropolitan areas, there were 299 urban
agglomerations with more than 100,000 populations in
1991. These large urbanagglomerationsare designatedas
ClassI urban units.There were five other classes of urban
agglomerations, towns, and villages based on the size of
their populations: Class II (50,000 to 99,999), Class III
(20,000 to 49,999), Class IV (10,000 to 19,999), Class V
(5,000 to 9,999), and Class VI (villages of less than 5,000).
The results of the 1991 census revealed that around 221
million, or 26.1 percent, of Indian's population lived in
urban areas.Of this total, about 138 million people, or 16
percent, lived in the 299 urban agglomerations. In 1991
the twenty-four metropolitan cities accounted for 51
percent of India's total population living in Class I urban
centers, with Bombay and Calcutta the largest at 12.6
million and 10.9 million, respectively. Source[12]
‘Urban agglomerations’ needs to be decreased; Various establishments have been evolved at the
outskirtsof the citylike factories –governmentoffices – universities – training institutes and so on,
but the people workinginthese establishmentswill stay in the urban areas and will add the burden
on Urbanizationlike transportation,sanitation,housing,watersupplysystem,waste disposal and so
on. With the establishment of VPA-MV-MN all such types of establishments can be dispersed all
over the 40000 VPA thus the urban agglomerations can be decreased.
1.12. F&F –Refugees and demographic changes.
[Population of India, India Population
In the early 1990s, growth was the most dramatic in the
citiesof central andsouthernIndia.Abouttwentycitiesin
those two regions experienced a growth rate of more
than 100 percent between 1981 and 1991. Areas subject
to an influx of refugees also experienced noticeable
demographicchanges.RefugeesfromBangladesh,Burma,
and Sri Lanka contributed substantially to population
growthin the regionsinwhichtheysettled. Less dramatic
population increases occurred in areas where Tibetan
16. refugee settlements were founded after the Chinese
annexation of Tibet in the 1950s. Source[12]
The points to be evaluated in the above fact are that the growth rate of the cities. This can be
controlledonlywiththe establishmentof VPA andthuspreventingthe rural tourban migration. And
aboutthe refugee settlement,make them one among the Indians if they are willing and if they are
compatible with the nation. Keeping them as refugees inside the nation for long run is not good.
1.13. F&F – Urbanization.
[Population of India, India Population
The majorityof districtshad urbanpopulations rangingon
average from 15 to 40 percent in 1991. According to the
1991 census, urban clusters predominated in the upper
part of the Indo-Gangetic Plain; in the Punjab and
Haryana plains,andin part of western Uttar Pradesh. The
lower part of the Indo-Gangetic Plain in southeastern
Bihar, southern West Bengal, and northern Orissa also
experienced increased urbanization. Similar increases
occurred in the western coastal state of Gujarat and the
union territory of Daman and Diu. In the Central
Highlands in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra,
urbanization was most noticeable in the river basins and
adjacentplateau regions of the Mahanadi, Narmada, and
Tapti rivers.The coastal plainsandriver deltas of the east
and west coasts also showed increased levels of
urbanization. Source[12]
Urbanizationpredominantlyoccurringnearriverbasinsand coastal areas are not good. The reasons
for thistype of growthmay be due to betterwaterresources,increased productivity in agriculture -
relatedindustries,export –import business, coastal product related business and industries and so
on.Whatevermay be the reasonsbuttheyare not the ideal places for creating the MV. We need to
selectthe place forMV at least5 to 6 kilometersawayfromthe natural riverpathways and from the
coastal margin alongwiththe considerationof leveldifference betweenthe maximumflow of water
in the rivers during flood seasons and the level of the future MV. We need to remember the
sufferingthatthe people sufferredin the events like ‘floods and tsunamis’. With VPA –RCS people
will get adequate water for agriculture – industry – domestic purposes in the MV (with better
income) which will be constructed away from the places of natural calamities like floods and
tsunamis.
17. 1.14. F&F – Areas with lower population density.
[Population of India, India Population
The hilly, inaccessible regions of the Peninsular Plateau,
the northeast,andthe Himalayasremainsparselysettled.
As a general rule, the lower the population density and
the more remote the region,the more likely it is to count
a substantial portion of tribal people among its
population.Urbanizationinsome sparselysettled regions
is more developed than would seem warranted at first
glance at theirlimitednatural resources.Areasof western
India that were formerly princely states (in Gujarat and
the desert regions of Rajasthan) have substantial urban
centersthatoriginatedaspolitical-administrative centers
and since independence have continued to exercise
hegemony over their hinterlands. Source[12]
‘Don’tleave anypart of the nationwhichmaybe hillyorremote’Itis the need of the nation. Nation
has to involve every part of its land in an ‘active state’ through its activity by creating new VPA in
every nook and corner of the nation. Identify the suitable profession in that area and make the
people togetgoodincome fromthat profession.If we neglectsome part of the nation thinking that
it is hilly and remote someone will take advantage through that then we will get the injury which
may not be repairable.
1.15. F&F – Rural India.
[Population of India, India Population
The vast majority of Indians, nearly 625 million, or 73.9
percent, in 1991 lived in what are called villages of less
than 5,000 people orinscattered hamlets and other rural
settlements(seeThe Village Community,ch.5).The states
with proportionately the greatest rural populations in
1991 were the states of Assam (88.9 percent), Sikkim
(90.9 percent) and Himachal Pradesh (91.3 percent), and
the tiny union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli (91.5
percent). Those with the smallest rural populations
proportionatelywere the statesof Gujarat (65.5 percent),
Maharashtra (61.3 percent), Goa (58.9 percent), and
Mizoram (53.9 percent). Most of the other states and the
unionterritory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands were
near the national average. Source[12]
18. ‘Almost74% of the people of Indiaare livinginplacescalledvillages or in scattered hamlets or rural
settlements whose populations are less than 5000’ - If this is the case, then it is very difficult to
provide all the infrastructure in a quality basis to all these villages will not work out, because the
work load and the income generated for the skilled people like a scientist – doctor – engineer –
officials - educationistwill be lessbythe lesspeople present in the village and thus it is no possible
to maintain the skilled people in the each rural setup with less population. So the ideal way is to
create the MV with the population of 50000 to 100000 and concentrate on optimum infrastructure
ina scientificwayinwhichboththe skilledandsemiskilled people will get adequate work load and
income andtheybeinggoingawayfromthe village will decrease.Populationmore thanone lakhand
lessthan50000 ishavingitsown problems in its own ways. And this population group should be at
least 15 to 20 kilometers apart.
1.16. F&F – Scheduled caste and scheduled tribes in India.
[Population of India, India Population
Two othercategoriesof India'spopulationthatare closely
scrutinized by the national census are the Scheduled
Castesand ScheduledTribes.The greatestconcentrations
of ScheduledCaste membersin1991 livedinthe states of
Andhra Pradesh (10.5 million, or nearly 16 percent of the
state's population), Tamil Nadu (10.7 million, or 19
percent),Bihar (12.5 million, or 14 percent), West Bengal
(16 million, or 24 percent), and Uttar Pradesh (29.3
million, or 21 percent). Together, these and other
Scheduled Caste members comprised about 139 million
people, or more than 16 percent of the total population
of India. Scheduled Tribe members represented only 8
percent of the total population (about 68 million). They
were found in 1991 in the greatest numbers in Orissa (7
million, or 23 percent of the state's population),
Maharashtra (7.3 million, or 9 percent), and Madhya
Pradesh (15.3 million, or 23 percent). In proportion,
however, the populations of states in the northeast had
the greatestconcentrationsof ScheduledTribe members.
For example, 31 percent of the population of Tripura, 34
percent of Manipur, 64 percent of Arunachal Pradesh, 86
percent of Meghalaya, 88 percent of Nagaland, and 95
percent of Mizoram were Scheduled Tribe members.
Other heavy concentrations were found in Dadra and
Nagar Haveli, 79 percent of which was composed of
Scheduled Tribe members, and Lakshadweep, with 94
percentof itspopulationbeingScheduledTribe members.

Persistence of reservationsandcaste systemisgoingto‘compromise withthe qualityinsome fields’
and ‘the feel of separation’.Improvementof economy, uniform food habits, cleanliness, education
makesall the people equal.We needtocreate the situation in such a way that there is no necessity
for the people toaskfor caste certificate to claim for job or seat under reservation. That is possible
withVPA-NES-MV-MN.Because everyfieldwillhave equal potential forearning – all will have equal
opportunity for seat and job – all the people will have equal chances to get the opportunity they
want – intelligent people will distribute in all the fields unlike the present situation (example: In
presentsituationmajorityof the toprankingintelligentpeople aftertheirpre universityexamination
will optonly formedical orengineeringthinkingthattheygetjobimmediatelyafterthe theirdegree
and bettersalary. With NES the seats of degrees are decided based on the need of the society and
thusall the degree holderswill getthe jobimmediatelyaftertheir degreeandall the degree holders
salaryor income will be the same thusintelligentpeople will selectvarietiesof subjects according to
theirinterestandthusintelligentpeople willbe distributedinthe fieldsandthere is no reservations
for this. Nowthe interestof the studentis influenced by the ‘parents education, parents economy,
theirsufferingorgainaftertheirdegree,unemploymentproblemsseenin various graduate people,
absence of relation between the degree and the profession the degree holder does’ all these
influences makes the intelligent person to act safely and choose only those degree which makes
himself employable – able earn more. People from backward communities with poor basic
education and in the absence of reservation may not get any good seat or job. People from upper
community and with good knowledge and marks may not be serving the back ward people. So
reservationmaybe the solutiontobringthe backward people tothe mainstreamof the society. But
with the establishment of VPA-MV-MN all will have equal opportunity for seat and job, the only
requirement needed by the person is the interest in that field.
1.17. F&F –Dowry harassment.
[Dowry harassment
20. Source[13]
Incidences like dowry harassment will not happen with the property division and documentation.
Both the male and female will get their share after the death of their parents nothing to ask and
nothing to give. Brothers may say we are not going to spend for the marriage because as a girl you
are also going to get the equal share, thus the marriages becomes simple and registered with the
PIN,thusunnecessaryexpenditureinthe name of marriage isgoing to decrease. Husband knows he
will notgetanythingwithwhateveramountof harassment,the onlypossibility is they have to work
and they have to earn for them. Let us look in to the instances like this. A judge is one of the most
literate andknowledgeablepersoninthe society,andhe isharassinghiswife fordowryeventhough
he knowshe law,and the consequences of harassing. The idea may be to get the property as much
as possible when she is just came out of her house and when the parents are alive.
With effective establishment of MV- MN and property documentation, both the male and female
will get the equal share of property belonging to both the parents only after the death of both the
parents. With this the brothers may say we will not spend much money for marriage and thus the
marriagesmaybecome simple.Allthe people will know thattheygetthe propertybelongingtotheir
parents only after the death of their parents and harassing the wife will not make any difference,
thus no dowry related issues will arise.

The total population can be slowly reduced, by educating the people about the ill effects of the
population explosion through VPS and VPA, better health care for the couples - 100% couples
adopting family planning techniques, when once they have one or two children - motivating the
couples not to have more than two children will make the population to decrease slowly, the
population growth rate to decrease and the population density to decrease. It is also possible to
make the populationdensityequal all acrossthe nationbyestablishingthe VPA all acrossthe nation
and utilizing all the land effectively.
Both men and women in the age group of 18 to 60 can participate in the activities of the VPA, as
VPWT, thus all the working age population ‘man power’ can be actively utilized in the process of
23. nation building.
It ispossible toinvolvemore people inthe agriculture relatedindustry which are going to generate
in their own village and less people in the segment of agriculture will bring more productivity by
adopting science in agriculture.
The total numberof villageswill decrease fromthe present 600000 villages to 20000 model villages
and it will also attract the urban population due to its better infrastructure, health care and
educationservices,thisalso makes the government investment in maintaining the infrastructure.
All the MV and thus the all the population will be well connected to the road with CRS – CRTS
systems.
The population living in cities will decrease as there is reverse migration will begin with the
establishment of the MV – MN.
The caste and the religioussystemwillslowlyvanish; people may continue the practices which are
essential formaintainingthe healthylife style andall unnecessarypracticeswill vanish.The day will
come where all the activities will be done without the name of caste and religion.
The male - female sex ratio becomes equal and all the female feticides will stop, as there is no
difference in the opportunities for both the sex, in terms of earning, share in property and so on.
‘Rape’and‘bad name’andsuch thingswill nothave anyinfluenceonthe thinkingof the societyand
onlythe ‘love andpeace’will remainsandthose wholove will stay together. The physiology in the
brain and heart will work better than the physiology in genitals in maintaining the relations. If
someone suffers, then the society who is attached to him / her will give the support to clean the
things from both top (Mind) and from the bottom (Genitals) and they will have a normal life and
those whomake mistake will getintothe trouble.The people who make mistakes will not be able
to lead a normal life, if their mistake is proved.
