Chalo Delhi - Join Developed Group!

The civilization has witnessed tremendous change in almost every aspect including employments. GDP and kind of employment in different sectors have changed drastically in last few decades and these are going to change further. This will impact the way of transactions by the policy makers. Invariably, there is a significant difference in the understanding of facts by the policy makers. This results in wrong policy decisions. They are unable to give emphasis to correct approaches. In view of Challo Delhi campaign by The Times of India, we must analyze a typical example. There are three major sectors –
(a) Primary Sector – Agriculture

(b) Secondary Sector – Industries

(c) Tertiary Sectors – Services include knowledge, information and value-added. This includes innovative knowledge intensive products/services.

As technology leads to non-linear business growth, the predicted value for the year 2020 may not be totally correct. I feel that it will be different because of many social compulsions. Even if the prediction is assumed to be correct, there is a drastic need to change the whole orientation of thinking because of following illustrated reasons–
1. As Agriculture contribution is going to be less than 10% of the overall GDP of the country, the agriculture sector needs to be made attractive, competitive and friendly. Accordingly, priorities of the planner and thinker have to change.
2. As employment from agriculture sector is drastically reducing from 64% to 44%, the bulk of citizen should move from conventional location and profession to new opportunities in value-added services for innovation and knowledge intensive products. Policy makers are afraid to accept the fact of this data.
3. The person working in an agricultural sector has been traditionally very conservative and rigid in their approach towards life; they need to be encouraged to change their profession for the betterment of themselves and the country. They should never be given consolation that their life style will improve amidst deprivation.
4. The backward class, schedule castes and schedule tribes, who have been predominantly left behind in the last few decades from being the part of the economic growth or India Shining and Incredible India has to be educated and encouraged to move out off the frog well to harness the growth of civilization at minor disturbances and dislocation. They should be educated, motivated and encouraged to move to town and cities to take up better and well-earned profession with dignified life. This is a sever diversion from the earlier concepts by the renowned thinkers of developing countries but this has to be adopted to avoid the future catastrophes.
5. Indian Intelligentsia are still busy in finding the strategy in bringing down the scale of perpetuating rural migrations to big town and cities in search of job opportunities which I believe is in total contradiction to the need of a develop society. We need to learn first and educate the others about the significant statistical changes which are taking place since last few decades. The people must move out from village or smaller cities to the big cities. Government must improve building infrastructure to support these movements.
6. IT and BPOs together earned India $12 Billion in 2003 and by 2012, it is expected to touch $148 Billion according to NASSCOM– National Associations of Software and Services Company. The numbers of people employed in BPO sector are to be over 200,000. These manpower will be available when the people move from conventional professions to value added services.
7. There is a tremendous scarcity of educated and semi-educated person in the service sectors like Call Centres, BPOs, Software sectors, R & Ds, Manufacturing plants, etc., the recruiter need to move to small towns and villages to appoint and train poor, dedicated, sincere and hard working people for the benefit of this sector, irrespective of caste, creed or region.
8. The area where exploitation have been severe and no priorities have been given for the growth of population, are more prone to attract the attention and demand of the new industries. Either resettlement plan in those neglected area could be considered or people are to be encouraged to move to a planned colony for better amenities and better work output for systematic growth.
9. In the last few decades, there are few locations in India which have witnessed tremendous neglect from the planner to take care of the basic infrastructure like road, electricity and water etc. these are like North-East region, Bengal, Bihar, Orissa and Jammu & Kashmir. The situations are ripe enough to be utilized for systematic growth of the new sectors. These areas have to be considered for future growth.
10. In the years to come, a large population will move from the neglected areas like Northeast, Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, and Jammu & Kashmir for a better life to Delhi, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chennai etc. These movements will accrue many benefits for those neglected arrears. These will reduce the burden on the land. The people who move out will get a better life. The remaining and left over people will have more land to feed less stomachs. The remaining people, however, due to enhance economical changes will have to have a more sophisticated and systematic life. They will have to understand these changes and mould themselves accordingly. They will perforce have to unlearn all habits of so-called poor people.
11. The availability of basic amenities will broaden the living standard of large sections of population. They will unlearn things faster to have a better and dignified life.
The technological evolution will bring the changes smoothly. The change practice has to be mastered by the population to harness the benefit of technology for the human being. There is a necessity of new sets of thinking and ideas. The ideas should not be the slave of caste, region or religion. The ideas should not be the result of political compulsions. The ideas should not be the result of selfish attitude. The ideas need to be rational, based on future prospects. Change the old concept and move to Delhi. Challo Delhi!
