Since 1991, everyone is focussing on the huge opportunity that the strong 350 million Indian consumer represents. It is a dream for any marketer with growing disposable income, high growth rates in the job market, easy credit.. Just the ripe things for a doom the GREAT AMERICAN way.. i have nothing against the private enterprise. In fact I very strongly believe that the Governments have no business to be in business. But we cannot copy everything from the West. What holds true there is not good for us in all aspects.
In this glory and talks of being a future super power, we have forgotten the agony of a more strong 450 million community that depends on agriculture in this country. Agriculture needs to be removed from the clutches of corrupt government officials. Let the mandis and APMCs in various states be given to private corporations and then see the magic. We will be a super power if we can improve the conditions in our villages. let the farmers have electricity (Not free electricity) but power availability at all times so that they can irrigate their farms, their children can study, and increase the reach of the country to the villages, create roads. Private Corporations will give a better price to the farmers then the middlemen and they would sell the product at low prices because they will not have to pay to a middlemen. They will ensure high productivity by providing proper seeds and fertilizers to the farmers. Private companies in this sector will force the government to create better infrastructure and prices for the farmers benefits. Since these companies will be in different businesses, they would also provide farmers an access to the world.
Only when the conditions of the farmers in this country improves, would we actually think of bring a super power as envisioned by Shri APJ Abdul Kalam
