Economy is a priority no doubt
If USA is a land of opportunities INDIA is a land of mega opportunities but
accompanied by multiple mega diversions in the name of many things besides
economy.
Like an individual, the nation too
needs many things to have a wholesome secured development with a sense of
national pride in all aspects of its socio-cultural realm too. For
example even the most talented singer has to appear in nice dress, happy mood
on a well decorated stage to create a wholesome impact.
However, there is no doubt that the priority must be economic development.
Only in 90s, when India was pushed
to the corner that too because of PVN we thought of economy as part of
governance, and governance as part of government beyond party politics.
MODI has taken it further through a multi-pronged approach by eliminating aspects that delay
the process like corruption, complex laws, red-tapes etc.
Stabilized it by bringing
procedures, processes, systems, policies, standards that are in sync with
acceptable global practices;
Created an eco-system which is at
least marginally encouraging, enhancing trust and empowering through many
schemes like electricity to all, bank accounts, direct transfer,
infrastructure, insurance, Mudra, Skill India, PMAY etc.
However, comprehensive
implementation and utilization of the schemes require synergy of many down the
line.
Besides, in countries like India
everything from religion to economic activity does not get dictated or designed
by any organized structure, but evolves rather organically. All that is required
is to create a conducive eco- system with reasonable monitoring and regulations
as checks and balances.
Our nation's development is on track
but cannot be tracked down to any single parameter; it is evolving silently and
organically with much greater confidence than before, as every evolution does.
We would be better of learning this phenomenon by reading Leonard Reed's ' I,
Pencil'; works of Daniel Dennet and Charles Darwin.
When processes and structures are in
place, functions and results will emerge bit by bit incrementally and grow big
like trickles of rain water through streams growing into a river.
In modern day, WEALTH is not merely financial status it
is wholesome combo of various factors.
Welfare [economic and social] of the maximum number
Easy [ availability and accessibility to comforts] life with emotional well
being
All round comforts and cohabitation without identity based frictions and fights
Loveable life and livable planet [ ensuring biodiversity] for
posterity
Technology imbued efficient health
care and opportunities in education and employment
Happiness obtained through synergy of
various aspects of life.
