20 point program
Indian economy is characterized by rising incidence of
unemployment and disguised and underemployment; higher than acceptable
socio-economic inequality; strong and rising intellectual and skill inequality;
gradually bridging but still high regional imbalances; low productivity
especially in agri sector, oversized government with extremely low level of
decentralization; and seriously incapacitating supply constraints especially in
energy, social and physical infrastructure terms.
The young demography provides high potential in terms of growing
workforce and consumption demand. But due to low skill level, lack of adequate
employment opportunity, financial and social exclusion, and disillusionment of
youth due to political indifference and poor governance standards the potential
remains under-exploited.
We suggest the following 20 point program for overcoming many of
these problems and exploit the tremendous potential of Indian economy that has
been recognized by all. We shall discuss these points in some details in coming days.
