Since childhood it is being publicised that all the rulers from every political party annihbce that their main focus is to uplift poor, Dalit, farmers and backwards.
In last almost five decades I could not see any major change in the situation. Whatever growth we are noticing is a normal growth which happened in every other part of the world. Lot of government subsidies , programmes , freebies and all are publicised and huge money is distributed but nothing improves.
In my view our rulers should review this method of supporting the needy. Sustainable growth is possible only by improving education and social hindrance. Our millennial habits and social restrictions need to be improved which is possibly only through education, health and better environment. Expenditure in education and health is miniscule hence results will also be u the same proportion.
Gap between poor and rich has widened manifold in last two decades and it is going up day by day. India has 131 billionaires and 3.45 lakhs millionaires which is third largest population after USA and China. Although in a population of 130 crores , millionaires are less than 0.03% it is quite alarming considering the fact that maximum population is poor. The gap between rich and poor is too wide at serious level. Despite this we are yet to invest reasonable amount in education and health.
Widening gap between the society causes dissatisfaction and anxiety in the society . It is more dangerous when the rich show off their wealth . More on this in next blog.
