Mission 2020 - Dream or Reality

Many of the past leaders had talked about the Mission 2020 -  A fully developed nation. As we are just 3 years away from that milestone, have we really progressed towards that and is it possible to achieve that within the balance term available? We have voted for a change, for a better India. We invested our faith on BJP and believed in Modi. Around 3 years have passed by. Did we get what we dreamt of?

What we got so far :

Rural areas have been connected with Internet. Service providers like Airtel, Reliance have increased their traffic and networks are now available in rural areas. The Telecom sector which was beaten down over the last decade has improved significantly in the last 3 years.

LPG subsidy has been waived by 1 crore people enabling poor and needy to get the benefits.

Clean India movement has started enabling fellow citizens to feel the necessity of having a clean India.

Bank Accounts for all. Even the poor has opened bank accounts making them feel the need for using bank accounts thereby contributing towards economic growth.

Digital India. Need for cashless transactions to go for clean and green India.

Life, Accident Insurance schemes launched by banks.

Black Money policy. Demonetization of Rs. 500, 1000 notes.

What we still need :

Crude oil prices have gone down but the benefits are not given to the people. The petrol, diesel prices are at record highs. Need to bring them down to enable manufacturing and other sectors provide more output with profits.

Inflation is still high. The prices of raw materials, eatables should come down. Electronic, Electric, Cement materials price should come down.

Need intervention to improve Govt hospitals and provide better health care policies at a low premium.

Stress on Life insurance has to be there. Insurance for all should be the mantra.

People should be encouraged to increase their presence in stock markets. Domestic investment must go up.

Overall governance must improve. 

Conclusion : 

Looks like we still have a long way to go and 2020 mission may not quite be possible. If the country becomes a developed economy atleast by 2040, we can be proud. Everything depends on how we proceed from here.

[InFocus] Majid Majidi

For few Cinema is a science – for instance Christopher Nolan. He brings then concept of science into his films. The screenplay, movie’s core is built on top of science. And why not? We have tried to ascertain every event that happens in our life to science.  Even the music that Nolan feeds in his movies bear science. And I am a great fan of Nolan and his movies. But then there are few directors like Alejandro Gonzalaez Inarittu, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Vittorio De Sica who treat Cinema as an art. They have all given importance to characters in the movie and their feelings. They all have expressed human emotions at their best. And here we have one who shows life at its simple and best. Characters defined with utmost simplicity – Majid Majidi. Majidi isn’t a man who complicates cinema. He flows like a thin air, like a pleasant wind. He doesn’t use twisted /webbed screenplays or confuses people with adverse characters. People who portray his films know exactly what the...

The places which are highly crowded these days are hospitals and pharmacies. They become addicted to tablets. In this unfriendly environment bound to unexpected events, we might need a plan to take care of our medical expenses.
