India is on the move : P.M. Manmohan Singh, on 15th August'07
Very rightly said by our honorable Prime Minister about the current situation of our country, We are on the move. Every coin has two sides and good and bad can never be alone but here let me count the good things because of which today we can say we are on the move.
1. Let me start be saluting the Youth of nation :::
Youth has always been the hope for future and a youth of today defines the tomorrow of a nation. The biggest asset for a country like India is its manpower. We have a capability to produce and serve at cheaper rates then many other countries of the world because we have skilled manpower and unskilled manpower that can work more effectively and efficiently - physically, mentally and financially.
Highest youth population in the world and we are among the youngest nations of the world. Our youth is enthusiastic, intelligent, capable, dependable, hardworking and has a stamina to fight against any thing ::: Protest against OBC quota in higher education, by Honorable Minister Arjun Singh is an example of unity and power of Indian youth. There are other cases where Young Professionals starting NGOs and other charity programs for their countrymen.
There are some odds, something shameful by Indian Youth like killing of a Professor in a university of Ujjain, who protested against university elections. Such incidents always raise a finger about future of our youth but I still believe that with good mentors and support our youth can make dream 2020 true.
2. Second Fastest growing economy in the world :::
The economy of India is the third largest in the world as measured by purchasing power parity (PPP). When measured in USD exchange-rate terms, it is the twelfth largest in the world, with a GDP of US $1.0 trillion (2007).India is the second fastest growing major economy in the world, with a GDP growth rate of 9.4% for the fiscal year 2006–2007
