Like they say, truth is always bitter and rightly i feel we still have a very long way to go..
The path to achieving our ultimate goals has always been hazy and when we get to see most of our nation's decisions taken by Orthodox people( old school ) one feels that those paths are now starting to develop cracks as well! so.. the hazy path together with cracks leads us to where?
Where do we even start?
The solution might lie in the setting and following of a 'Detour'...
Yes... new ideas are to be encouraged and the most prominent ones are to be addressed...
Anyway, the point i am stressing upon is the introduction of new radical ideas... ideas that would bring about 'Real Changes'. Ideas can come only when the proper environment for the support and growth of those ideas is set.
I'd like to term it as 'The Call For Upliftment'
The thought came to me when a friend of mine came to me asking for my thoughts on his project he was thinking of implementing...
The Project itself is very unique in nature that it could be termed as a radical idea!
The project is aimed at the upliftment of people, poor people as a whole. The theme and basis of the idea is very simple and if implemented and properly executed then it could bring about radical changes and result in the 'upliftment' of the society and hence 'upliftment' of the Country as a whole!
'The Call for Upliftment' is a call upon the student fraternity, it calls upon every student in every college to contribute to the 'call for upliftment' programme...
It is simple, it is precise and it is what the country needs...
We hear people speaking about abolishing poverty, providing homes for the homeless, etc ,etc but how do they plan to do it? do they even have a plan?
I just wish they would hear 'The Call for Upliftment' and hence be a part of this call... i just wish they recognize the uniqueness and importance of the 'Call for upliftment' and understand its development oriented nature and hence adopt it or atleast encourage it for they are the people with power...
If 'the call for upliftment' is in place and goes according to plans then radical changes can be brought about in the economy and prosperity of the nation and with the proper execution of the programme, a whole generation of people could be benefited...
The project might not bring about immediate , noticeable changes but it is sure to bring about a 'change' , a change every Indian wouldappreciate and respect...
Creating opportunities need not necessarily mean setting up of new I.T companies and allowing foreign firms to set up plants here in India hoping that they would generate new employment prospects rather it would mean empowering the nation with its own strength, its own precious resources- its own people... Making use of its own own people to empower itself and become a self sustained nation...
The Programme might sound absurd and might be ridiculed upon but its just in the process of growing in terms of baby steps and once its in place then the call will reach ALL ! It would and will be heard by the masses!!
Kudos to my friend Hemanth for coming up with the plan!
