HAPPY 74^TH REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATIONS

While we are gearing up to celebrate
The 74th Republic Day
With the best of spirits on this day so passionate
That each one of us keenly commemorate.

Whilst India got its independence
From the foreign rule, oppression and others dependence
On 15th August 1947 with efforts so incessant
The sovereignty of ours is not easily attained
Since for self-government
Countless nationalists made their supreme sacrifices for its freedom
Besides some suffered hugely in the dark dungeons.


When India got right of self-governance
We were not having our own Constitution
A drafting committee was constituted with consensus
Consisting men of impeccable integrity and aptitude
Which gave its first draft report on 4th November 1947
The National Assembly put their indelible stamp
On the Constitution so meticulously prepared
On 24th January, 1950
Which came into effect from 26 January 1950.

Merging with the spirit of the anniversary
Of Purna Swaraj Day
Which was observed on 26th January 1930
And is considered as a historic day of repute
Representing the true spirit of independence
Conferring power to the people to elect
Their own representatives of choice
And many more rights with duties conferred on its citizenry
Including right to freely express their opinion
Freedom to follow the faith of their preference
Without let or hindrance
Further important of all
This way, we the people indirectly govern.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad took oath
As the first President of free India/Bharat
Unfurled the National Flag at Irwin Stadium.

Military might of the land is showcased at Rajpath
Here our Military; Air Force & Para-military forces with NCC also participate
In their smartly dressed in the parade.

Gallantry awards are conferred on the bravest of braves
For their exemplary acts of valor
For defending our mother-land
Some fortunate get the get these gallantry awards in person
While others get these posthumous
For their Supreme Sacrifices
From the President of India
Their Supreme Commander.

The cultural diversity of different the regions
Are also showcased by different states
And Union territories
These are the other attractions
A rainbow of diversity indeed- wonderful exhibition!

The other States of the Union pitch in to celebrate this historical day
With pump and show in their own unique way
Indeed this is the real beauty of the Republic Day.

RESPECT FOR THE SPIRIT OF OUR CONSTITION

The basic structure of our Constitution (Bharatiya Samvidhan) is sacrosanct, It contains fundamental rights (right of self expression with duties), fundamental political code, structure, procedures, powers of Centre and State Governments, duties of Government institutions along with the duties of citizens. Basically, our Constitution contains all the information which helps us all how best to provide good governance based on Constitutional provisions, values along with procedures.

The Directive Principles of State Policy are grouped into four categories

 
As our Constitution was created by the Constituent Assembly, therefore, it gives significance to Constituent Supremacy. The Constitution was adopted by its people with a declaration in its Preamble. It was adopted by Constituent Assembly of India on 26th November 1949 and was made effective from 26th January 1950.

Every Indian should respect Constitution without any reservation. Not understanding the spirit of constitution and interpret the various provisions given in the construction as per their convenience, will not serve any purpose. We have got our independence after giving a lot of sacrifices. Therefore, we have to protect its unity and sovereignty. For this, we have to keep a close watch on internal and external forces which are inimical to the growth and development of India.

NAMAMI GANGA PROGRAMME

River Gange important since it  covers 40% of India’s population. The PM had said: If we are able to clean it, it will be a huge help for the 40% population of the country.

RURAL ELECTRIFICATION PROGRAMME

 This is an ambitious mission to provide electric supply to 18,000 villages which were still in darkness. Rural electrification is taking place at a fast rate.

FAST TRACK GROWTH.

India has achieved from the period of low growth to higher growth trajectory. Due to this our GDP Growth has risen to 7.4% which is fastest amongst the growing economies of the world.

DEFENCE PREPAREDNESS

It is well said, ‘If you want peace, prepare for war’. It means peace with strength. A society which is strong in every sphere of activity, is not attached by any adversary. The present scenario on border especially LAC and LOC calls for defence preparedness. For this to be possible, we have to continue the ongoing task of constructing roads, tunnels etc. so that the border posts could be made accessible for our defence forces personnel without wastage of time as and when required. Secondly, presently, we are proud to produce defence related weapons and equipment on our own and subsequently would be able to export the same for earning much needed foreign exchange.

                                                                            
AGRICULTURE SECTOR

By empowering farmers so that they help in giving more agri production. For this, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana will give a big boost to productivity. This would be possible by increasing irrigation facilities, provision of fertilizers at subsidized rates along with provision of high yielding seeds. Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojna deals with motivating farmers so that they take up organic farming.

TRANSPARENCY & CORRUPTION FREE GOVERNANCE

A society which is corruption free, attains unhindered growth and development because the funds allocated for different heads are used judiciously without any leakage at any stage of execution of planned mission achievement. For this, there should be zero tolerance of corruption and those who are indulging in corrupt practices are dealt with strictly as per the laws of land.

EMPOWERMENTION  OF WOMEN INCLUDING CARING FOR THE GIRL CHILD (BETI BACHAO, BETI PADHAO)

It is my fond hope that when women get their due  respect as mother, sister, daughter, wife or friend, we cannot call ourselves as civilized society. The women should be empowered suitably. For this, they should get proper education, training, etc. so that they are financially independent and not be dependent on anybody. They should also get freedom to choose their profession according to their claims and qualification, of course, without any gender bias.For achieving all these, we have to implement programmes related to Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.

INDUSTRIAL  DEVELOPMENT: REFORMS TO UPLIFT INDIA’S ECONOMY

Those countries which are economically strong are held in high esteem. They command huge respect globally. This does not come with wishful thinking. It happens when all of us put our concerted efforts in whatever field we are engaged. Although, our economic growth has been adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, yet, persistent efforts should be made so that our economy grows and the fruits of growth are shared by everybody. Growth and development should be all inclusive one. All the sectors of economy i.e. industrial; agricultural; infra etc should grow side by side for an overall pump-priming effect on the people in general.

The Gross Domestic Product  per capita in our country was at 1797.76 US Dollar in 2020. It is equivalent to 14% of the world’s average. I want our country to attain more growth in all fields. For this, our youth should get opportunities for right education and right training for which they have attained efficacy. Then Hospital Industry could boost our economic growth and development. It will not only absorb manpower but also much needed foreign exchange for the country.

Unleashing India’s Entrepreneurial Energy.  Make in India programme  has given leverage to boost entrepreneurship. Ease of doing business has given fillip to the economy. More require to be done still.

INDUSTRIAL AND INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT

For industrial and infrastructural development various programmes are launched  so as to attract foreign direct investment in industries including defence and railways. For this, many laws, considered to be useless and superfluous are removed so as to enhance the give credence to ‘ease of doing business’. The bottlenecks in communication and transportation are removed by improvement in infra development (Both rail and roads).

Our journey for industrial development started in 1854 with the functioning of cotton textile industry.  Presently, we have small and big industries for production of a variety of products which not only meets the domestic demands but also are exported. Our stress should be to increase the productivity in small and big industries. These industries could also absorb the skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workforce. The Government should allocate more funds for growth of industrial sector so that it not only absorbs more workforce but also earns much needed foreign exchange for us by enhancing exports.

INCLUSIVE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

I wish to see my mother land to have all inclusive development without any bias whatsoever. Religion, caste, region or any other ulterior consideration should not come in the way of holistic development of the country.

IMPREGABLE SECURITY AGAINST HACKING

We are aware that some of our adversaries are on the lookout for hacking various engines of growth – it may be banking, industrial sector, Rail Network or defence related matters etc. We should legislate strictest laws for those who resort to these anti-national activities. This could also be done by creating software and hardware which are hack-free.

FREEDOM TO PURSUE FAITH AND BELIEF

All should enjoy to follow his/her religious belief without let or hindrance. It follow that our faith and belief are individualistic in its orientation. Restrictions of any sort in following ones belief  is counterproductive. Hence religious freedom, as enshrined in the Constitution should be the norm.

WHEN NOTHING WORKS SPIRITUALITY ORIENTED LIFE WORKS WONDER

Based on past experience, I have gained over a period under various situations and conditions, I resolved to make my life spiritually oriented, methodical, adaptable besides being positive in all situations and conditions. This has worked fine with me then why not with others.

For living a purposeful life, we have to live spiritually. The first step is to know I am and what relationship I have got with the people around, about the environment I am living besides knowing be aware of SELF – my potentials and weaker areas. For living spiritually, we have to focus internally, think positively, meditate or chant prayers, do our duty with complete focus at our command, be compassionate to the needs of others besides explore our spiritual core. This way, we shall not only work for our holistic growth and development but also be of some help to our fellow citizens.

HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY

BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN COMMUNITIES

Fundamentally, our effort should be to build bridges of confidence between communities and not the chasms which have been created over a period of time due to various misunderstandings. These misunderstandings, if not attended, addressed and ironed out amicably within shortest span of time become unmanageable creating disharmony and resultant violence.

FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE

While growth stories of some of our immediate neighbouring countries’ (Like Sri Lanka & Pakistan) are going southward, India’s growth fundamentals are on ascendency partly due to resilience of our economy which faced two bouts of Coronavirus pandemic. India weathered all storms except in second wave of virus in which there were many job losses and business losses. Despite some hiccups, Indian growth story has moved Northward partly because there has been massive push to education and skill development. Schemes such asPradhan Mantri Vidyalakshmi Karyakram and Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya Mission for Teachers Training has been started to enhance the quality of teaching. A Global Initiative of Academic Ntwork (GIAN) is one such initiative for which scientists and intellectuals including entrepreneurs are being invited to impart training to our teachers and students in the summer and winter vacations. This will, in fact, make a huge difference.
