Presentation given by Vaniki Joshi of IIIT Allahabad in the final round of Symposium-the youth parliament, at IIT Roorkee in February 2006 organized by SFIH.
The document outlines India's vision to become a developed country by 2020. It discusses key areas of focus including education, agriculture, industry, infrastructure, and information technology. The former President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam, identified these five areas as critical to transforming India, along with reducing problems like poverty, illiteracy, population growth, unemployment, and lack of infrastructure. Many initiatives are underway in areas like education reform, agricultural development, industrial growth, infrastructure projects, and expanding IT and communication networks to achieve the goal of making India a developed nation by 2020.
This presentation discusses India's vision for 2020, outlining major challenges and goals. It focuses on five key areas to accelerate growth: agriculture/food processing, infrastructure/power, education/healthcare, information/communication technology, and critical/strategic industries. The vision is for India to become a developed nation by 2020 through doubling GDP growth via these sectors and achieving targets like eliminating poverty and illiteracy. Rabindranath Tagore's poem provides a vision of an empowered India with freedom of thought, knowledge and unity.
Perceived citizens’ reaction over local governments’ financial mismanagement ...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on citizens' reactions to financial mismanagement by local governments in Imo State, Nigeria. The study surveyed 1840 citizens across 13 local government areas to understand what actions citizens would take if local government funds were misappropriated. Citizens expressed they would take dangerous actions like killing leaders or not voting for them. The study recommends monitoring of local government finances to ensure funds are used for community development.
The document discusses Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's background and career, including that he served as the 11th President of India and was known as the "Missile Man of India" for his work on missile technology and his role in India's nuclear tests. It also provides an overview of Kalam's popular books that discuss visions for India's future development and strategies to improve in areas like education, healthcare, poverty reduction, and self-sufficiency. The reviewer notes that while the book describes India's present situation and comparisons to developed countries, the language is not very interactive and could better attract readers by presenting facts in a more hidden way and only providing details when wanted.
The global economy is going through an upheaval and there are great uncertainties ahead. The global economic recession and crisis has, quite expectedly, impacted India, too. But it is a moot point whether the Indian economy is affected more by the global economic ups and downs or by India’s structural and political problems and economic management or mismanagement.
Whatever be the case, there is very significant global interest in the Indian economy. Along with China, Brazil, Indonesia, and a few other countries, India promises great potential of growth in the next few years and decades. The future of the Indian economy is thus a significant concern among the global financial and business community, economic policy-makers and managers, multilateral financial institutions, economists and other academics as well as investors and consumers in India.
If one looks at the numbers, the significant global interest in India is not surprising. It is well known that - on a purchasing power parity basis – India is already, at over USD four trillion of GDP, the fourth largest economy in the world; very close to the size of the Japanese economy, the third largest. In the next 15 to 18 years this size is expected to grow, as per various studies and estimates, four to five times. As a result many foreign investors and a majority of global companies and businesses are making a beeline for the Indian market, which promises a booming middle class of a few hundred million consumers, expanding steadily in the next few decades.
Where will the Indian economy go from here? In the three to four decades after independence, the Indian economy was characterized by the ‘Hindu rate of growth’, growing at about 3.5 per cent per annum. In the next two decades it grew at seven to eight per cent per annum, but the growth rate is under strain in recent years of global economic turbulence.
What lies beneath these numbers? What insights do we have about the Indian economy to help us analyze and perhaps ‘decode’ what trajectories it may follow in the coming years? Moreover, besides the overall numbers, what about rising inequality and financial inclusion? What about hundreds of millions of Indians living in abject poverty, without bank accounts and any access to credit? Hardly ten per cent of the country’s households participate in the capital market. What about chronic malnutrition among children? What about the lopsided 0-6 age-group child sex ratio that has declined further from 927 in 2001 to 914 in 2011? What about poor marketable skills among a big portion the huge and growing young population? What about the condition of India’s universities and polytechnics? And also, what about the political culture and institutions of governance, shaken by scams, scandals and corruption day in and day out?
The document discusses India's demographic transition and the opportunities it presents. It notes that India has a large young population under 35 years old, which can provide a demographic dividend if India invests in education and skills training to ready this population for the workforce. However, regional disparities in education access mean the benefits may not be evenly spread. If India addresses challenges in education and vocational training, its large skilled workforce could help accelerate economic growth and make India a global manufacturing and services hub.
Unemployment is a major problem in Bangladesh. It is defined as a state of being without work and available for work. According to the ILO, the unemployed are those without work but available and seeking work, including those who have lost jobs or left work voluntarily. Unemployment can be voluntary or involuntary, with involuntary types including structural, regional, seasonal, technological, frictional, educated, casual, cyclical, and disguised. Causes of unemployment include population growth, industrial backwardness, lack of skills, limited investment and land, defective education, and abuse of power. Effects are economic and mental stress, decreased demand, social unrest, inability to repay debts, crime, violence, and loss of skills.
Knowledge and Understanding of your world is a subject that educates children on topics ranging from culture,ethnicity to leadership both at local levels and international levels thereby equipping learners to become responsible global leaders.

The document defines key economic indicators such as GDP, GDP per capita, unemployment rate, personal income, and productivity. It states that GDP is the total value of final goods and services produced in a country in one year across four categories: consumer spending, business spending, government spending, and exports minus imports. GDP per capita is GDP divided by population and shows economic growth. The unemployment rate shows the portion of the labor force that is unemployed and available for work. Personal income includes salaries, wages, investments, and government payments to individuals. Productivity is important for economic growth as it determines the level of goods and services an economy can produce.
Unemployment in Bangladesh: Challenges and prospects Md Jakir Hossaion
Unemployment is a major problem in Bangladesh due to its large and growing population. Each year, many students graduate from universities but the government fails to generate enough jobs to meet demand. Unemployment occurs when people are able and willing to work but cannot find employment. There are several types of unemployment including seasonal, frictional, and structural. Currently, unemployment is estimated at 30 million people in Bangladesh and is projected to reach 60 million by 2015. High population growth and lack of skills and job opportunities are key contributors to unemployment. Minimizing unemployment will require expanding vocational training, improving education, promoting self-employment and reviving small industries.
India Vision 2020 was a plan proposed by former Indian president Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam to transform India into a developed country by 2020. The vision involved reducing rural-urban divides, providing education and healthcare access, ensuring good governance, alleviating poverty, and ensuring national security. It proposed developing agriculture and food processing, infrastructure, education and healthcare, information and communication technology, and critical technologies as the key areas of focus to achieve rapid economic growth and make India a developed nation by 2020.
The document discusses the causes and nature of poverty. It defines poverty as lacking basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare. The World Bank further describes poverty as hunger, lack of shelter, sickness without medical care, lack of education, unemployment, and living in fear with no future stability. The document then discusses factors that contribute to poverty in India like a rapidly growing population, low agricultural productivity, underutilized resources, slow economic growth, rising prices, unemployment, lack of capital and entrepreneurship, and social and political factors like the backward social system and British colonial exploitation. It also outlines government programs aimed at reducing poverty through employment generation and development initiatives.
The document discusses the need to transform India by addressing key issues like education, energy, urbanization, transportation and rural development. It argues that India has remained poor due to poor leadership, policy choices and a parasitic government system. However, the rising middle class now has the power to drive change through their votes and demand for better governance and economic freedom. Transforming these areas is essential for India to develop and lift its people out of poverty.
Goal 8 aims to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. It recognizes that many people around the world work in poor conditions to survive and help their families, including many children who work long hours. Achieving Goal 8 would help improve living standards and life chances for those in difficult work situations while also benefiting the global economy. Progress is measured by factors like the number of people in poverty despite having jobs and gender gaps in labor force participation rates between men and women. Individual actions people can take include buying local products, not supporting companies with poor working conditions, getting involved in advocacy and unions, and raising awareness of workers' rights issues.
India has a population of over 1.17 billion people and is projected to become the most populous country by 2034. It has a large youth population and growing middle class. While India's economy has grown at an average of 6.3% over the last decade, making it one of the fastest growing in the world, it still faces challenges of corruption, outdated labor laws, and insufficient infrastructure development.
The document discusses how information and communication technology (ICT) can help create a more sustainable society, with a focus on India's efforts. It describes how ICT can help reduce poverty by increasing opportunities, empowering citizens through access to government services and information, and creating general wealth. India has implemented a national e-governance program that establishes networks of common service centers across villages to deliver these services and bridge the digital divide. The program aims to empower rural communities through access to technologies.

Unforeseen Consequences of US Contracting Practices on the Afghan Local Commu...Greg Kleponis
While the ambitions of the projects funded by the United States contracting process are noble and the intentions are to elevate the economic and social conditions of the Afghan people are genuine, in many cases the reality is that it is having the opposite effect.
GDP is the total value of goods and services produced in a country annually, with the US having the highest GDP. GDP per capita measures output per person and describes how much each person uses in a year, with the US also having the highest GDP per capita. The unemployment rate represents the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed, showing business performance and ability to hire workers, with North Carolina's rate currently at 8.7%.
1. A sustainable society meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It exists in harmony with the environment.
2. India has implemented programs like the National e-Governance Program (NeGP) to improve governance and reduce poverty through information and communication technologies (ICT). NeGP aims to provide government services to rural citizens through 100,000 Common Service Centers.
3. The Common Service Centers (CSC) act as primary access points in rural India for delivery of financial, social and digital inclusion programs. CSCs are owned and operated by local entrepreneurs and aim to empower communities through access to services, education and opportunities for employment and business.

Volunteers converted old roads to hiking trails in Idaho's newest wilderness area, Big Jacks Creek Wilderness. 23 volunteers spent nearly 2 hours converting 1.5 miles of old two-track road into a single track trail. The project helped provide recreational access and enjoyment of public lands while protecting wilderness. Domestic sheep are putting bighorn sheep populations at risk by transmitting diseases, despite scientific evidence. Congressman Simpson's legislation would delay removing domestic sheep for 5 years, likely dooming bighorn sheep populations.

The document summarizes the rise of Ganga culture in India from ancient times to the present. It discusses how the drying up of the Sarasvati River led to a migration eastward to the Ganges River valley. The Ganges then became central to the development of Vedic and epic mythology in works like the Mahabharata over 1000 years. Specifically, the document focuses on the mythological and historical importance of the Ganges River goddess in integrating Vedic culture across India and providing an alternative religious path for common people through pilgrimages and worship of river goddesses like Ganga.

The document proposes a new vision called "Mission FATEH" to transform India into a developed nation by 2022. It identifies five key areas for revolution: agriculture, power, education/healthcare, technology, and strategic sectors. Major missions include providing rural connectivity, interlinking rivers, and generating employment through entrepreneurship. The youth will play a crucial role by developing innovative solutions and serving as creative leaders to accomplish the vision. Realizing Mission FATEH will require inspiring young people to work towards India's development rather than just self-interests. Past examples show how visionary leaders and young entrepreneurs drove progress in agriculture, technology, and other fields.
The document discusses innovation and public sector performance in Indonesia. It outlines Indonesia's constitution which calls for protecting citizens and promoting general welfare. National performance is measured in areas like human development, GDP, poverty, unemployment. Innovation is presented as key to improving performance and fulfilling constitutional obligations. Examples are given of innovations that improved situations regarding birth certificates, library access, education access, city parks, children's services, and more. Innovation is argued to be essential for improving public sector performance, mainstreaming innovation architecture, and realizing citizens' dreams.
This document provides an introduction to the study of geography and economics. It begins with an overview of the topics that will be covered over the course of the year, including economic foundations, globalization, and political and social organization. It then presents a series of questions for students to answer to assess their existing knowledge. The remainder of the document covers key concepts in economics, such as the three main economic sectors, companies and job markets, and different economic systems.
This document summarizes the key economic problems, challenges, and vulnerabilities facing India's economy. It identifies 10 major problems: low per capita income, unequal income distribution, heavy dependence on agriculture, high population growth, unemployment, unequal wealth distribution, poor human capital, lack of basic amenities, demographic challenges, and lack of infrastructure. It then discusses current challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including weak demand, rising unemployment, lack of fiscal stimulus, rising inflation, and rising COVID cases. The pandemic has severely impacted India's economy through job losses and declining consumer demand.
This document summarizes key concepts related to social and economic justice from a human rights perspective. It defines social justice as providing equal opportunities for all individuals to develop their inherent qualities. The basic principles of social justice discussed are access, equity, rights, and participation. Types of justice are defined as social, economic and political. Social issues related to social justice in Pakistan are discussed, including refugees, health care, aging, hunger, and equality. Efforts to address child labor and problems with education in Pakistan are also summarized.
Indian society is a mix of coexisting and conflicting trends. After 60 years of independence, it is necessary to assess the goals of social revolution that were promised to the people. While India has the second fastest growing economy in the world and is home to many billionaires, most Indians still live in poverty with little social security and abysmal human development indicators. Additionally, India paradoxically produces many highly educated professionals who work abroad despite high domestic illiteracy rates.
The Directive Principles of State Policy are guidelines for the government laid down in Part IV of the Indian Constitution. They were inspired by the Irish Constitution and UN Declaration of Human Rights. The principles are non-justiciable rights that are fundamental for governance. They include Gandhian Principles promoting education, employment and health, Social and Economic Principles ensuring livelihood and equality, and General Principles protecting the environment and international relations. While they are not enforceable in courts, the principles highlight national objectives and prescribe that national resources should benefit all.
Human resource facilitates economic development. It refers to a country's population in terms of size, skills, education levels, and productivity. Countries should engage in manpower planning to develop their human resources. Proper utilization of human resources leads to increased production, development of skills, and improved quality of life. Models like the Coale-Hoover model indicate that economic growth depends on growth in labor force and amount of capital available per laborer. Countries with higher per capita GDP and literacy rates tend to be more productive. India and China are expected to have the largest working-age populations and together produce 40% of the world's graduates by 2020, positioning them to be the top two economies based on GDP by 2050.
Trade unions need to revise their agenda to survive in the 21st century. They have been too rigid, slow to change, and unwilling to face challenges. Instead of just focusing on wages, they should take a greater interest in workers' jobs and improving quality of life. While participating in quality improvements may not solve all their problems, it could be an important step forward.
This document provides an overview of India's socio-economic and political situation. It identifies several problems facing the country, including lack of good governance, corruption in politics and bureaucracy, poor education and employment opportunities. To achieve its vision of becoming a developed nation by 2020, India must generate sufficient employment, ensure food security and improve education funding. However, significant reforms are needed to separate powers between the legislature, judiciary and bureaucracy and reduce the influence of dynastic political families and criminal elements. Investments must also be redirected from wasteful projects to priority areas like healthcare, education and rural development. Overall, transformational change is needed to establish accountable leadership and governance systems for India to realize its full potential.
The people of Pakistan are beaten by frightening inflation and rising prices, and now the terror attacks on the mosques and Milad processions. Obviously, there is sadness and discomfort in the air. The poor are trying to cling on to any last piece of hope and for that they are desperately trying to find any reason and light whatsoever they can find
The three main points are:
1) The Directive Principles of State Policy are guidelines for the government to promote social, economic, and political justice for citizens' welfare.
2) The principles were inspired by documents like the Irish Constitution and ideas of Gandhi focusing on equality, livelihood, village governance, and weaker sections.
3) The principles are non-justiciable but fundamental for governance, and the government has implemented some like land reform acts, minimum wages act, primary education, and reservation of seats for scheduled castes and tribes.

Poverty remains a major issue in India, with over 400 million people living below the poverty line. Several factors contribute to poverty in India, including a high population growth rate, limited job opportunities outside of agriculture, and corruption in poverty alleviation programs. While the government and organizations are working to reduce poverty through various subsidies and development programs, issues remain with both measuring poverty accurately and ensuring funds reach the intended recipients.
Poverty is a major problem in India, with over 250 million people lacking basic needs like food and shelter. It gives rise to issues like increased crime and farmer suicides. While India's cities have developed economically, the rural areas and many citizens have been left behind, with over 25% of people still uneducated and millions living on less than $1.25 per day. Reducing poverty will require improved access to education, healthcare, skills training, and economic opportunities, especially in rural areas, as well as efforts to curb corruption and support agricultural growth.

Strategy, war and weapons in the mahabharata by maj gen (dr.) gd bakshi, sm...sfih108
This document discusses military strategy and weapons during the period of the Mahabharata in India. It notes that this was a time of multi-polarity with many warring kingdoms, similar to periods in Chinese and Indian history that produced influential texts on statecraft and war. Specifically, it analyzes the evolution of India's four-armed military organization of chariots, war elephants, cavalry, and infantry that crystallized during the Mahabharata period. It also discusses strategic thinking during this era, including Krishna's engineering of a major war between monarchial powers to drain their strength.
The document discusses several proposals for reforms, including powering elections with technology, establishing a central database for citizens, implementing accountability measures like ministerial grading systems, evaluating economic status over caste for reservation, improving basic amenities, strengthening media's role in exposing corruption, and overhauling the education system with a focus on morality and practical skills. The overall message is a call for transparency, accountability, and empowering citizens.
