“Frustration and disappointment have surrounded the mind of the Prime Minister. Is the Corona pandemic the reason for this frustration and despair? Or the needs of the public, which the Prime Minister has proved incapable of fulfilling. “
“The whole world is suffering with Corona virus and people are fighting for life and death. And the citizens are following the orders of their respective governments. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is speaking at the event. The citizens of the country have been listening and believing in his’ Mann Ki Baat ‘since the beginning. But the Prime Minister never listened to the ‘jan ki baat’. It is alleged that the medium of delivering ‘Jan Ki Baat’ is occupied by Prime Minister Modi.
The allegation can also be considered true because BJP MPs do not question the Prime Minister in Parliament. The MPs who have been elected by the people to raise their voice in Parliament have only been giving consent to the good and bad decisions of the government. The MPs do not have their own vision related to rural development. While two thirds of the MPs are not only from rural background but are elected by the voters of rural areas. The media doing ‘Jan Ki Baat’ remained serious about sponsored news and nonsense most of the time, so that the Prime Minister’s’ Mann Ki Baat ‘does not become ineffective on the public.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke about it in his’ Mann Ki Baat ‘radio programme. “The Corona crisis is a global crisis. In such a situation, it would not be appropriate for me to say anything more. But first of all, I want to apologize to all the countrymen. And my soul says you will forgive me. Because decisions have to be made. Due to which many problems have to be faced. “
The above shows that frustration and despair have gripped the mind of the Prime Minister. Is the Corona pandemic the reason for this frustration and despair? Or the needs of the public, which the Prime Minister has proved incapable of fulfilling. So many sins were committed in the country, but till today the Prime Minister has not been seen apologizing to the ‘seer’. The Prime Minister is wise, he must have realized that the government disorder during the lockdown has directly wounded the hearts of the poor hardworking labourers. It is in the government’s interest to apologise to them. Therefore, the Prime Minister said, “I especially apologise to my poor brothers.
In the name of rural development, Prime Minister Modi’s’ Mann Ki Baat ‘proved to be meaningless in the same way that he made the public ring the bell and beat the plate to end Corona. However, now is not the time for these useless things. The fact is that the situation looks unusual. And the Prime Minister has also said that the situation is going to be serious for many days to come.
The ‘seer’ is talking about ‘time’. This includes’ Mann Ki Baat “and ‘Jan Ki Baat.” Despite the fact that there is enough food to feed every person in the world, one out of every nine people today goes hungry. Two-thirds of these vulnerable people live in Asia. If we do not think deeply about the world’s food and agricultural systems, it is estimated that by 2050, the number of hungry people worldwide will reach two billion. Worldwide, the number of undernourished people in the developing world has declined by nearly half since 1990. From 23. 3% in 1990-1992, it came down to 12. 9% in 2014-2016. But 79.5 crore people are still undernourished.
Agriculture is the single largest employer in the world.
The burden of hunger is still the highest in South Asia. 1 crore undernourished people comprise 40% of India’s population. How we grow and eat our food has a profound effect on hunger levels, but it doesn’t end there. If done right, agriculture and forests can be good sources of income for the world’s population, drivers of rural development, and our protectors against climate change.
Agriculture is the single largest employer in the world, employing 40% of the world’s population and 54. 6% of the total workforce in India. Despite providing employment to more than half of the country’s population, the agriculture sector contributes only 15% to India’s GDP. The Government of India has given priority to strengthening agriculture by taking steps in terms of irrigation, crop insurance and better varieties.
The Government of India shares this information with the whole world. But this is only a paper fact, the practical truth is far from the objectives. If the continuous migration from the villages to the cities was the priority of the government, then the workers would not have gathered on the streets of Ghaziabad to die of an epidemic like Corona. He earned his living by farming and working as a labourer. And the rich don’t insult their goodness by donating a few rupees. To bring the rich from abroad, the country’s government deploys all the forces and the poor laborer is forced to walk hundreds of kilometers to go home in his own country. Perhaps, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is frustrated and frustrated by this mess.
The Government has pledged to eradicate hunger by 2030 and provide access to safe, nutritious and adequate food throughout the year to all people, especially the poor and those living in conditions of destitution, including infants.
The ‘seer’ does not want to talk negative at all. The Government of India can achieve the above target even before 2030. Its only condition is that the government should strengthen the ‘Panchayati Raj’ system. Otherwise, the government will not be able to achieve the above targets in the stipulated time. The Panchayati Raj system is a reflection of Mahatma Gandhi’s concept of Gram Swaraj. The ‘Panchayati Raj’ system aimed at making the villages self-reliant is the heartbeat of the country.
Apart from ‘Mann Ki Baat, “Prime Minister Modi has not been able to end the corruption of Panchayati Raj in practicality. Panchayati Raj is a decentralized system of all-round development. In Panchayati Raj, the responsibility has been given to the villages to make their arrangements according to their needs. In 1992, by the 73rd Amendment to the Constitution, the three-tier Panchayat was given the status of a constitutional institution. It broadly said that the people of the village would prepare development plans according to their needs. The government will provide financial assistance for the development works. But selfish corrupt officials have been running the government system in their own way so far.
India is home to the world’s youngest population, with more than 360 million young people between the ages of 10 and 24. It is on the use of this demographic dividend that the creation of a prosperous and vibrant future for the country depends. The labour force in India is projected to grow by over 8 million every year and the country will need to create 28 crore jobs between now and 2050, but India’s Gross Enrolment Ratio of just 23% in higher education is one of the lowest in the world.
Agriculture employs 54. 6% of the total labour force in India and the contribution of agriculture sector to GDP is only 15%. This means that the focus of the governments is not on agriculture and farmers. Ignoring such institutions that touch the pulse of the country and lack of awareness among the parliamentarians are the major obstacles to all-round development. How does the Panchayati Raj system work? For what purposes did the revolutionary leaders structure it? What is the role of the government in Panchayati Raj? The government never took these questions seriously to demonstrate the practicality of the answers to them to the workers and farmers. As a result of which he is apologizing to the poor people in the time of trouble in ‘Mann Ki Baat’. Had Prime Minister Modi talked about ‘jan ki baat’, there would have been no need to apologise.
There is still time Prime Minister, let the villagers make plans and policies according to the needs of the village. Decentralizing the administrative system by freeing the Gram Panchayat from unnecessary bureaucratic machinery and shifting the focus of development from the cities to the villages will serve the purpose of some of the major programs of the government like National Skill Development Mission, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Yojana, National Service Scheme and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. If migration stops and Goa becomes self-reliant, India can also achieve the goal of a $5 trillion economy.
