Make India, before - make In India

With all fanfare BJP government has launched a vivid, futuristic campaign to boost economy, strengthen the much tottering infrastructure of  developing Indian nation. The motive of this program is as clear as the name goes, to bring in the investment, thrive on the manufacturing units. PM with its forte of marketing has publicized this at the full throttle. Evidently, this has definitely gathered attention from masses, not to mention praises of new initiatives. I daresay, these are the vital measures to be taken if we wish uplift the financial domain, and to keep the sentiments high in stock market.

However, I, to some extent do not concur to this highly talked campaign and its salient points, statistics, which might have kept many geeks on toes. To make In India, government and people first and foremost should Make India. Government may have forgotten these crucial things, before marching toward a highly ambitious goal:-

Transport:

With ever exploding population of India, India is faced with an insurmountable challenge of survival and development. Several measures taken, couple of them planned decade or more back, are now taking shape in form of metros, AC railways to name a few. Many thanks to the delays in - approvals, land acquisition, they were behind the schedule almost half a decade; which not only wrecked havoc to the life of local people, but also added costs nearly ~100% of the initial estimated budget. 

We cannot not label BJP for either delays or either any advancement of these projects. If measures to get into tangible output take such a huge amount of time, why not focus on strict measures to pump up the local commute and improve? 

The state of local commute in metros like Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi is horrifying, yet little or no changes seem to abate the chaos. We've had witnessed on 26/07 - Mumbai, any inclement weather, situation can put poorly run cities with crippling commute system on halt for an indefinite period, along with the agencies who wish to aid. 

I see no reason on what criterion any how government could turn a blind eye to these high attention seeking situations?

Education:

Every month or another, we see BJP government announcing new IITs, and IIMs, which in a sense is beneficial for the cut-throat competitive entrance exams and massive number of applicants. In what way can raising new organizations could procure Earth shattering results, research if we are to stick to a conservative approach to nurture students? 

More important to anything, it is of utmost priority to foster students for different cases, projects not only at school level, but also at the obsolete engineering, medical or any field of education. How could anyone bring in new skills if not to upgrade course structure, mentoring methods? It is mandatory to modify courses, classes open in a way where students can pursue topics, and fields of their interests, irrespective of their binned sections, and streams. To my knowledge, this particular strategy has been implemented in IITs, and a handful of other organizations which contribute to the fraction of entire students who dare to dream. 

Another, probable measure is to rope in key people from different industries and help restructure curriculum. This seems to be the most appropriate deed to resurrect the dying educational system of nation. This would not only reframe courses, but would help motivate the fresh minds of respective domains to aspire invincible goals.  

Without these imperative steps, I wonder how and who would be able to see the worth these educational bodies irrespective of the tag associated with them?

Health

Ah, there comes a highly neglected yet paramount sector to which no government has laid emphasis.  Let's get this straight - majority of the rural population in India is devoid of basic life care, saving facilities. I'm not speaking of drugs whose costs are soaringly high but referring to clean, hygienic hospitals and revered doctors in our nation. Long back I heard of new AIIMS and since then no major investment in medicine research and educational sector. 

How often we find students and families encouraging kids to opt for medicines? Much of this imbalance in doctors' population is credited to exorbitant fees in private medical institutions or to mention limited seats in government organizations. Medicine needs space, cutting edge equipments, man power which drills down to money and thus, inflates education fees. After putting in hard work, sacrificing youth, with bald head, drooling eyes, doctors are inclined to charge hefty fees, surgery costs, and thus pulling everyone in the vicious circle.  

The list can continue here - fees, drugs, doctors, hospitals and you name it. Yet no significant and radical steps are taken to eradicate the deficiency. How long can funds from business magnates of the likes of Ratan Tata, Azim Premji can sustain medicine sector? 

It is, therefore, time of action for government, and medicine bodies to mend existing opportunities, and devise new avenues to attract students so to keep alive the faith of people in doctors and medicines. 

It's such a shame for us if we condone such vital things, and carry our gaga on growth rate, GDP, FDI, or any other fancy stuff. If we try to fix these issues, I daresay there would be paradigm shift in the entire nation, and would propel toward the highly sought "Developed" nation status.
