The overall development should be highly inclusive
Massive infrastructure developments are going on in the Hindi belt. New airports, the new Railway Stations with modern facilities, and the Vande Bharat trains.So far, so good. But what has happened to public health and education? While UP has made some progress, absence of quality English teachers does seem to be a major problem everywhere in India. Aversion to English, the global language of opportunity, is outright stupid, but it happens in the Hindi belt.
Furthermore, development should not be one that caters only to the rich. The poor also need quality schools that should be run by the Government, there should be good roads and buses and fairly good Government hospitals. The entire South India scores very high here.
We have had lopsided Government approaches that have favored only the rich. For example, at least three hundred thousand crore rupees has been what has been written off, for some of the biggest companies. This is not justice, but total injustice.
The rich have to pay and do not deserve any mercy if the companies are not managed well. The overall GDP growth should cater to all masses and not just the rich.
It is high time that we started debates on our economic models.
