CURRENT NATIONAL PROBLEMS

Corruption     

One of the biggest problem being faced by our country today is corruption. Because of corruption, we are not able to execute our developmental programmes. Following steps need to be taken to obliterate corruption:- 

1. Implementation of RTI. 
2. Appointment of an Effective Lokpal. 
3. Expedite the slow delivery mechanism of our judiciary. 
4. Bring reforms in police and investigating agencies like CBI. 
5. The discretionary powers of the ministers should be taken away. 
6. Curb the nexus between politicians and bureaucrats.

Intelligence failure- Friends, today we have a fragmented and obsolete intelligence gathering and dissemination system. Let us merge & strengthen all the int agencies into one central agency with modern infrastructure.

Naxalism- 222 districts out of 636 districts in the country are badly affected by naxalism,. This is hindering our economic development. However, we must understand the root cause of the problem and solve it. Employment, better education, health and infrastructure are the solutions and not alone the arms.

Lack of Infrastructure- is another problem which is hindering our progress. We definitely need better roads, rail, power and better storage capacities. Better infrastructure would provide basic facilities to citizens and also bring more investors in the country.

Lack of Energy- is forcing the nation to procure approx 40,000 barrels of oil from foreign countries. However it is heartening to see that our country is going all out to seek renewable source of energy like solar energy. We are also building a No. of nuclear plants for energy production. We have taken steps and yet the problem persists.

International Equation- Friends, we aspire to become a super power in the coming decade, but it can’t be achieved without reaching out and seeking help of outside world. We cannot remain embroiled with our internal problems alone. We have started reaching out and the results are obvious in the case of Pakistan and Bhutan, wherein America and Japan respectively are helping us.
