RETRIEVE THE UNRETRIEVED

India is a sub-continent with the second largest population in the world.

   The population of India is estimated at 1,267,401,849 as of July 1 2014.India's population is  equivalent to 17.5% of the total world population.
                                                                         

 It is not less rich in natural resources. The nation feels a sense of pride that it has a large youth force too. Prosperity and progress

in reality cannot be attained merely, by looking at the available resources. 





The nation has an unparalleled treasure, the treasure-trove of spirituality, knowledge
 concealed within the Vedas and Upanishads,     
its unique
 mythological past and the glory
 of the humble social beginning.






 

                 The country has become a Republic, and more than 60 years have gone, but the nation has achieved little all-round progress.

The problem lies in the fact that a small number of people dominate the majority. A large part of the population likes to lead a passive life. They do not take an active part in deciding the course of the nation. As such, creative intellectuals remain hidden. Some people who endeavour to prove themselves in various fields, are impeded by those who are financially or politically powerful. Again, there are some who can play a vital role in changing the shape of the nation. But, they fail in giving their valuable contribution because of the grinding poverty that binds them to the lowest rung of the social ladder. Even though, the country has trudged through 11 five year plans and has stepped into the 12^th one,  an incredible part of the population still finds it difficult to make the both ends meet. There are many who do not find time enough to ponder over things that are beyond the basic amenties like food, clothing and shelter. Only celebrities and icons glare on small screen and big screen. The poor and the destitutes do not even find space in the smallest columns of the newspaper. Many schemes of the government, which are basically meant for the poor or the destitutes, in most of the cases, remain unreached. Instead, they get devoured by greedy who are ineligible. Jan Dhan also is one of the many instances. The total number of  accounts opened across the country, need not be an indication of the true success. What needs to be observed is how many destitutes have joined the list of the beneficiaries. Unless, a proper

Initiative is taken, things cannot be into a proper order. An action plan that comprises people’s active

participation and their whole-hearted involvement.
