3. INTRODUCTION
When I was in school , one day , my teacher taught me – India is a developing
country . I felt very happy in a hope that in a few years India will be counted among a
developed country .
After reaching home , in a sudden excitement I told my mother what I had been taught
.
At first , my mother smiled at me , then she told me that she had also been taught
same in her school .
Well , after this , all my excitement went down and I thought that the situation would
remain same in the coming years .
As I grew up , I became more aware about the environment of India. I saw various
factors which were acting as a hindrance to the growth of India .

4. INTRODUCTION
If these factors were removed from the environment of India , the status of India can
be definitely converted from “ DEVELOPING “ to “ DEVELOPED”
There are many of these factors , I have discussed in my presentation few of them due
to the time limitations .

5. STEPS TO MAKE INDIA A
DEVELOPED COUNTRY

6. 1 : Creating awareness towards education.
Education is the most powerful weapon
which you can use to change the world .
The literacy rate in India stands at
74.04% in 2014. The literacy rate should
be 100% in order to make India a
developed country.

7. 2 : Eradicate Bribery and corruption
Bribery and corruption are one of the
major reasons keeping India still a
developing country.
This should be considered as a huge
crime and punishment should be severe.
Giving 100 to the Traffic police for not
wearing helmet has become a fashion
nowadays. All such activities should be
controlled and bribery should be
eradicated.

8. 3 : Proper Payment of Taxes

9. 4 : End to Reservation system in india
Other countries give employment
opportunities to deserved people and we
give it to reserved people.
Article 334 of the Constitution had
originally required the reservation of seats
to cease in 1960, but this was extended to
1970 by the 8th Amendment. The period of
reservation was extended to 1980, 1990,
2000 and 2010 by the 23rd, 45th, 62nd and
79th Amendments respectively. The 95th
Amendment extended the period of
reservation to 2020.
Aur kab tak ???

10. 5 : Work for your own country
Every year we have multiple chartered
accountants , engineers and doctors
coming out of India. Efficient individuals
leave the country and provide their
expertise in other countries
Most of the developed countries have
around 20% of their growth due to
Indian minds.
Well , before writing this point I also had
the same mindset but it got changed
drastically.

11. 6 : Creating job opportunities
One day , a speaker questioned us
asking : after becoming a chartered
accountant will you opt for job or
practice and more than 90 % of us opted
for job.
This is the problem of India.
We all want to get employed rather than
creating employment.
Even I wanted to opt for job. But I think
that I will contribute in any way to create
employment opportunities.

12. 7 : Utilization of indian products
Again a difficult task to look forward.
Nowadays every product we use is a
foreign product, sometimes we do not
realise which is Indian product and
which is foreign made.
As Narendra Modi says, if we use and
purchase only Indian products for a span
of 90 days, the value of 1 US $ will be
equal to 1 Rupee.

13. 8 : Access to healthcare facilities
We have apps that let us book movie
tickets or even find that perfect
restaurant ! . However, finding doctors is
still unbelievably tough
Billions around the world, particularly
people in the Indian subcontinent,
struggle because they do not get proper
access to healthcare.

14. 9 : Reducing crimes
Everyday we read the morning
newspapers which provides us with the
crimes that took on earlier day.
It had become a part of our lives.
It had become so common that we don’t
even find the crimes uncommon.
We need to reduce the level of crimes
and enhance the strictness of
punishment against crimes.

15. 10: Repayment of international debt.
India is still under millions of dollars
of international debt which is badly
affecting the progress of Indian
economy.
So, unless that debt is repaid by
India with interest Indian economy
can’t be strengthened & India can’t
become a super power.

16. CONCLUSION
Towards the end of the powerpoint presentation, I would like to say that we
are the one who can bring the change.
The idea is not to leave everything to the government, but we should take the
initiative on our own .
Let us today take a pledge of converting a “developing country “ to a
“developed country “ .
