Jobs and environment are key factors. Add to this harmony,
especially among the youth
India is has vast agricultural land hence
there should be encouragement to farmers. Young people should be drawn towards
agriculture.
Start ups should be given incentives, so
that the lack of jobs can be offset with better opportunities to start up your
own businesses.
NRI students should be encouraged to
invest back in the country by prviding them land and infrastructure
NIGHAM NAIK PAUNWADA, Ponda
Education is all important and modern techniques of education
are needed. We struggle for even electricity and water and yet we pay taxes
Highly educated people are moving out of
India because they don’t get jobs in India due to reservations. Then “unity in
diversity” has to be seen, or else it’s a myth. We can see many conflicts all
over India , based on issues like, caste, region, religion, water of river etc
I would also like to see my India where women can walk /travel
fearlessly at night

The biggest threat to the idea of India, is the lack of safety
of our women and children. Women and children, not just in the cities but in
the remotest of villages must be able to walk freely
Moreover the disparity between the haves and the have nots have
to end. There is too much wealth in the hands of too few and then there is
extreme poverty stil
Then let us ask, what is the value of education if we are
constantly adding to the list of educated unemployed who pull rickshaws and
work as drivers
Moreover something needs to be done about election expenses. Why
is that only the rich and the very rich can content elections in the country
whole the poor have no chance, though on paper anyone can content elections
SAMESH UMESH NAIK Ponda, originally from Loutolim
There is no denying that India has come a long way since
independence. The emergence of Internet has led to much advancement; technology
and communications have seen tremendous growth and world is much closer today
than it was even 10 years ago. But despite all these developments, there are
many areas of concern when it comes to a day-to-day life in India. From means
of transport to better job opportunities, women safety, infrastructure issues,
quality of life, the list is endless. The youth today definitely appreciates
the progress, but they do not shy away from highlighting the points that our
government should be focusing on.
SHARES NELSON PAES, from Porvorim.
“The India we live in today is no longer what it was even 5
years ago. The growth and development is getting better by leaps and bounds,
even if the masses feel that the government is not doing anything India is too
big of a problem to be solved in one day.
The growth in the food industry and the progressiveness and
creativity of the Chef’s are nothing less than of a global standard. India
needs exposure and the right guidance and I’m sure we’re moving in the right
direction. All I would say is that we surely must have enough and more
opportunities for our youth so that we don’t have to go abroad in the first
place.
