India And The New Millennium

We shall now come down to our country to see what prevents her from enjoying the benefits of a millennium. It is undeniable that India is an overpopulated country. We can point out the rude fact that only recently her population has crossed the limit of hundred crores. It is not easy, indeed, it is very hard to provide food, clothes, accommodation, conveyance, medicine, education and profitable work to so many people. Secondly, the country suffers from heavy burden of extensive unemployment. Thirdly, corruption is widespread, affecting the people from top to bottom. Fourthly, there is extreme slowness and wastage in the government department and unbearable delay in the execution of legal matters. Finally, there are both external and internal hostilities which have a very bad effect on the peace and prospects of the country.  

In order to reap the benefits of the millennium our country should pay utmost attention to decrease the population. Besides normal ways of employment, co-operatives and self employment should be encouraged side by side with facilities for easy loan, wider marketing, greater job training and exploration of newer and non-traditional types work. Again, stringent measures are necessary to stop corruption, siphoning off of huge black money through better methods and exertions of pressures and influences to ignore dishonest and immoral activities. An all-out effort should be made to let government and legal machinery run smoothly and promptly and disciplinary actions must be taken against those who try to slacken such machinery. Internal peace will prevail only when the people living in different regions will feel that they get due justice and are not maltreated. External harmony will have to be created through diplomatic means and ways of economic co-operation instead of spending lots and lots of money in the name of strengthening defence and safety and money saved on this account will have to be spent for educational health, research, employment-oriented and other developmental purposes. Only then will the general public receive the benefits of a millennium.
