APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India, a person who saw the dream of making our country developed among other developed nations by 2020 and went in the search of right path to do as much best he can to us. But the question arises-- can we realize and fulfill his dream in this scenario of unrest, insecurity, price rise and other internal as well as external problems?
The real India has always been said to be living in its villages. Despite modernization, globalization, and merging of the rural-urban gap, it is true that even now almost 60 percent of our population lives in villages. It is also true that part of this population is unable to fulfill the basic requirement of food, shelter and clothing. Living under the poverty line, these people live a life of minimum and struggle everyday to earn a decent meal for themselves. How can a nation even dream of becoming a developed nation till its people die of hunger and lack the basic resources for survival?
Terrorism is yet another menace that is hampering our country’s development. Of late, the number of terrorist attacks have risen up sharply and many cities have been affected by it. Innocent men and women have lost their lives. Corruption is so deeply rooted in our political system that our 'netas' have forgotten their duties, let we care for what they can do to help us to get rid of problems.
On the other hand, what India doesn’t realize is its strength. We have ample manpower and skilled labour apart from some of the most talented and highly educated professionals who can take the country to never imagined heights of success. But their skills and talent are being under utilized and there are not enough opportunities at the moment.
So to conclude we can say that there are many hurdles for India to become a developed nation till 2020. But who has seen future? Our highly capable defence bodies, strong economy, changing outlook, attempt to narrow down the financial inequality, equal opportunities to all, enlistment and empowerment of women, ability to master space programmes and fight deadly diseases are some of the notable achievements that differentiate India from other nations. These are the reasons that fuel the desire and make us believe that becoming a developed country by 2020 is possible.
There may be a day when things change for the better and we see India rising up to its challenges only to astonish the entire world.
