India on the move

"India is on the move. The challenge before us is to make the growth process more socially inclusive and regionally balanced."
Manmohan Singh

"India jumped on to the world stage from its colonial cage sixty year ago with the vision not only for itself, but also for the world- for a democratic, peaceful world which would respect the freedoms of others and help each other in that pursuit."
Amartya Sen

With its unprecedented GDP growth rates, India grapples with rapidly rising relative and absolute inequalities, thereby leading to two grossly different faces of India. One is the “Shining India” which is prospering and the other is the “Suffering India” which battles with stark poverty and is excluded from the growth process. The two faces of India are both a ray of hope and a symbol of despair. Reconciling these two faces is the biggest challenge faced by India today.

How do you address this perplexing challenges of Inclusive Growth with Current Business Ethics? What are the human development indicators in health, education and opportunity? Are we headed in the right direction? Rural India comprise 70% of the population. Are our rural farmers rightly paid for their produce?

Comments: Most of our ESM are from Rural India but tend to migrate to cities after retirement. The reasons are mainly due to lack of ECHS, CSD and other facilities enjoyed by an ESM settled in a city. The Armed Forces need to home deliver its Welfare Services to ESM in Rural India to make it regionally balanced.
