Leverage India’s Demographic Dividend to Grow India as an Economic Super Power in the World
"There comes a special moment in
everyone's life, a moment for which that person was born. That special
opportunity, when he seizes it, will fulfill his mission—a mission for which he
is uniquely qualified. In that moment he finds greatness. It is his finest
hour." - Winston Churchill
With the US President, Barack Obama’s
visit to India to grace as a guest for Republic Day celebrations 2015, the
world is watching keenly and closely about the India’s growing power globally. India and Indians were ignored until recently.
But with Barack Obama’s visit as the guest for Republic Day, the spotlight turned
on India. He is the first US President to visit India twice and is the first US
President to be guest for India’s Republic Day celebrations.
Presently India has several strategic
strengths and advantages. It is time for us to recognize our strengths and
leverage them to grow India as an economic super power in future. Here are some
of the India’s strengths:
India is the largest democracy in the
world with the youngest population. We have the largest speaking English
speaking population in the world. We produce goods and services at low-cost
without compromising quality. We sent low-cost Mangalyaan to Mars successfully.
Our Indians are excelling globally in all spheres including Information
Technology by offering low-cost services. In fact, they are the brain behind
the success of many global companies. We have a maximum number of management
thinkers globally doing their best for global good. Most of the prestigious business schools in
the world have Indian faculty members and three intellectuals are leading as
Deans for three top business schools. Our Indians are spread across the world
bringing laurels to our country.
Research shows that by 2022, the
average Indian’s age would be 29, compared to 37 for China and the US, and 45
for Western Europe. And India will have
young population in the first half of the 21st century. We must enhance employability skills among the
Indian youth to enable them to grab employment opportunities. Otherwise, this
demographic dividend will become an uncontrollable demographic disaster.
India must produce skilled manpower to
meet the future requirements. Present Indian education system is not up to the
expectations of the students as it is theory-oriented. It doesn’t emphasize on
practical education. Hence, there is an urgent need to focus on developing
skills among the Indian students and youth. Globally the Baby Boomers are retiring
and there is a looming leadership vacuum. Hence, the young talent must be
inculcated with leadership skills and abilities to groom them as leaders to
accept roles and responsibilities. They must be kept in the leadership pipeline
ready to encounter global challenges. These young leaders not only help India
grow globally but also help other nations grow to build a better global
society. Indians are adaptable and can go to any part of the world to work to
build vibrant economies. They will make a huge difference to the global
society.
Since we have the advantage of
demographic dividend and we must know how to leverage it. If we ignore it, we
lose this great opportunity as this demographic dividend will become a
demographic disaster due to more number of old people living in India after 30
years. Hence, Indian citizens and youth
must leverage this advantage by working very hard to take India to great
heights. Additionally, we are blessed with natural resources and we must know
how to exploit them. We have plenty of other opportunities presently. We must know how to grab them to make India
as a strong country. We must cultivate a positive attitude and enhance our
commitment levels to contribute our best to make India as an economic super
power in the world. Remember, 21st century belongs to Asia and
especially for India. India is a nation of aspirations. India is a nation of
hopes. India is a nation of dreams. Hence, let us strive hard to accomplish our
dreams build a strong nation. Jai Hind!
"The price of greatness is
responsibility." - Winston Churchill

Professor M. S. Rao’s Message to Indians on India’s Republic Day 2015 - India of my Dreams
Dear brothers and sisters of India,
Today we celebrate India’s 65th
Republic Day. As a citizen of this great country, it is a great honor to share
my thoughts to fellow citizens. Today is the day we must take stock of what we
have achieved and yet to achieve to take India forward aggressively as an
economic super power in the world.
There are innumerable challenges ahead
for our country. There is an urgent need for the Indian youth to build skills
and abilities to enhance their employability skills. Globally the baby boomers
are retiring and there is an urgent need to build the Indian youth as leaders
to fill the gap arising out of their retirement. It enables the Indian youth to
undertake leadership roles and responsibilities to lead our nation. It also
helps build next generation leaders. There is growing urbanization and there is
an urgent need to build homes to the homeless in India. There is also an urgent
need to check corruption which has become a cancer to our society. Some of the
people are not ethical and most of the money goes into the private coffers of
politicians.
India is a land of unity in diversity.
To succeed as a nation, we must support secularism. Let us not get carried away
by narrow politicians who divide our society in the name of region, religion, language,
caste and community. Let us promote fraternity to bring oneness in all of us.
Let us be proud that we are Indians first and Indians last.
We need reforms in infrastructure to
have a strong infrastructure to enable us to have a strong superstructure. We
must understand the fact that whatever has been tried and tested and was successful
in the past might not be successful in the future. Hence, we must explore
innovative technological tools and techniques to build a strong India. Additionally, it is essential for us to have
good neighborly relations to ensure peace and prosperity.
Indian intellectuals must not be part
of the problem. In contrast, they must be part of the solution to overcome the
leadership challenges. All stakeholders including intellectuals, educators,
government, NGOs and industry must collaborate and work hard earnestly to build
a strong India. We must enhance employability skills in Indian students and
encourage entrepreneurship in Indian youth. More entrepreneurs mean more
opportunities resulting in rapid economic growth.
India has the potential for consumer
consumption and has the ability to deliver the services and products at low cost
effectively without compromising the quality. For instance, we have sent the low
cost Mangalyan to Mars and demonstrated to the world about our capability and
ability to spend the amount less than producing a Hollywood film.
India is blessed with several
strategic advantages and strengths. India is gifted with both natural resources
and human resources. It is time we realized the importance of human resources
dominated by young population and utilized them for nation building. Here are
some more strengths of India which no other nation in the world has presently:
- We are proud to say that India is the largest democracy in the world.
- We are proud to say that India has the largest speaking English population in the world.
- We are proud to say that India is a hope for billions of people in the world. There are a number of people who came to India and made India as their home. It is the melting pot. India is noted for cultural richness and diversity.
- We are proud to say that India has the oldest civilization and with the youngest population in the world.
We are strong in mathematics. We are
strong in Information Technology. We invented zero. Albert Einstein once
remarked, “We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without
which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.” We teach yoga to the world. We are proud to
say that the only nation in the world which is widely watched presently is
India. Therefore, we must be proud of being Indians. Without your support, our
nation would not have come to this level. Therefore, I speak with conviction
that we are going to lead this world.
We have achieved independence with
lots of struggles and sacrifices by our forefathers. We must work hard to
preserve our hard won freedom to ensure that we take India in a right direction
at a fast pace. Let us present India in a positive perspective. Let us work
hard to elevate India’s image globally. The world is changing rapidly with
changes in technology. We must work hard to keep pace with the world to avail
the existing global opportunities to lead India as a global super power.
India is a nation of hopes! India is a
nation of aspirations! India is a nation of expectations! Remember, 21st
century belongs to India and Indians. India will grow as a power and Indians will
grow globally in all spheres spreading India’s greatness. We are blessed with several
inherent strengths. We must explore and utilize our strengths to build a strong
and vibrant India. Let us look at the door that is opened. Be responsible. Be
accountable. Be duty-oriented. Make a difference in the lives of others. Lead
India. Lead the world! God bless India. Jai Hind!
“If there is one place on the face of
earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very
earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.” -
Romain Rolland, Roman Scholar
“India is, the cradle of the human
race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of
legend, and the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most
instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.” -
Mark Twain
