Transforming India

Real Time Updates on Flagships Government Schemes This is only a representative section and not an exhaustive list of government schemes and programs.

It is one of the vaguest of Concepts in our country. The Social Reformers, Saints, Rulers,Educationists, Scientists, Industrialists, over the past few Centuries have been talking of transforming India. Swami Vivekanand travelled the length and breadth of India, as it stood then, witht hat objective in mind, and made certain impacts. About one percent of our youth of that time were strongly motivated by his appeals. Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati, Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, Madan Mohan Malaviyaji, Gopal Krishna Gokhale and B.G.Tilak etc had made similar impacts and motivated a few hundred Institutions or individual groups in favour of changes in the way we thought and acted.Later Sri Aurobindo made efforts in his own way to returm India’s elite to the Spiritual ways to achieve real freedom. Gandhiji and Nehru, and Subhash Bose adopted different approaches to transforming India . By then about five percent of the Population were convinced that changes can happen through sustained thought and action. The emergence of the Presidency Universities and a few more of them in enlightened Princely States accelerated the spread of the yearning for significant change . Yet the extent of Backwardness in the country was so deep rooted that we did not reach the critical mass required for a demonstrable change.

Post Independence India witnessed phenomenal expansion of Educational facilities, but some dilution in standards of Teaching and Learning too. Some of the things that happened later , like the I.T .Revolution made possible;e by the Communication Revolution I ( Microwave Network, expansion of 2G technology infrastructure etc ) and the phenomenal Growth of Mobile Phone networks through 2 G and 3 G tech which was affordable for the common people , because of the economic growth cycles, ) have now brought India into a tempo where the higher level learning stood in early Twentieth Century [ where the learner was able to choose what he/she wanted to learn, when and where to learn and how to learn] This will now pave the way for the real transformation of India. Whether the Political system will facilitate that transformation or be a stumbling block in its path, we may have to wait and watch. But there will be no stopping of India from moving ahead, very fast, or at least noticeably.
