vision of a better india
DESCRIPTION
A slide about Better IndiaTRANSCRIPT
India stands strong,
a mirror of sanctity,
culture, spirituality and
purity
Guarded by the fearless Oceans
that surround her, and by the
timeless Mountains in the
North
The founding Fathers
had lovinglygiven her,
her colours
Saffron indicating courage and strength
White indicating peace and truth
Green indicating fertility, growth and auspiciousness
But, After five decades of freedom
We still remain, Hindus and Muslims;
Madrasi’s and Marathi’s and Bihari’s;
Dalits and Brahmins …….
In the great land of India,
there being no true Indian
That is perceived to be one of the more corrupt
Nations.
India ranks 85 among 180 countries in
Transparency International’s Corruption
Perception Index, down from 72 last year
China ranks above India at 72 rank
A NATION
A Nation
Where greasing the palm is not
an exception, but the rule
As per TII-CMS India Corruption Study
Corruption affects the poor the most
Rs. 883 crore was paid as bribe by people BPL in
an year in India
Poorest household paid Rs.215 crore to police as
bribe
Corruption in the Trucking Operation in India
One truck pays an average Re.0.70 per Km as bribe
Truck operation business has to shell as high as
Rs.11198 cr a year as bribe
= Rs.933 cr per month
= Rs.31 cr per day
THERE IS NO DEARTH OF MONEY IN THIS COUNTRY
BUT A DEARTH OF WILL TO DEAL WITH THE CORRUPT
AND
TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE’S MONEY IS SPENT FOR THE PEOPLE

In the words of Prof C K Prahalad:
Human Development is not More Resources but less
Corruption in Deployment of Resources
Good Governance ( less corruption) leads to High
Levels of GDP/Capita; not the other way around
Focus on Human Development (Focus on Individuals)
and not Groups’ Rights leads to Rapid Economic
Development (GDP/Capita)
Individually
We are up against a“system” that is naturallyaverse to change,
for maintenance of statusquo ensures :
equitable distribution ofbribe,
thriving of vote banks,continuity of personalfiefdoms,
reign of the corruption
Corruption forces one to be Corrupt
• While the dishonest buys the system,
• The honest becomes the odd man out
and
• Gets paid in the same coin, gets the common whipping, being considered as a part of the system, which is perceived to be dishonest
Preconceived Mindsets like….
“Everybody evades tax”
Discourages the honest to pay higher tax……
Leading to more leakage……
Multiple division of entity…etc….
Creating a vicious circle
System loaded against one who tries to be honest
The Genesis lies inThe sense of depravity of justice and lack of transparency intransactions
We refuse to nip a problem in the bud, allowing it to
escalate
Judiciary is gasping under
the combined pressures
of anachronistic laws &
Inefficient execution
which leads to infinite
delays – both procedural
and practical
Justice Delayed
Cases pending in Courts:
Supreme Court – 48,800
High Court – 38,82,000
Lower Courts – 2,52,40,000
Justice Delayed is
Justice Denied
• Creates alienation and
hatred
• Erodes faith in the
system
• Forces otherwise
honest people to be
corrupt
Which in turn
Injustice Breeds Corruption
Why me ? we all askAs it is easier to shrug,
pay the price
and move on,
than be the victim of “the system”
But is this the India
Our fore fathers dreamt of?
That we want to leave for our children?
Does man live by bread alone?
Shall WE ?
• Continue to simmer in the cold confines of our
respective homes and offices?
• Chant the national mantra, "chalta hai" and look the
other way?
• Lend credence and help perpetuate the same system
that we know is the root cause of all ills?
• Remain mute spectators as the motherland is vitiated
repeatedly?
Is there no hope then?
Imbibe Integrity
Educate the next generation
There is
The hope is in the future
The HOPE is inThe power of “ONE”
In Integrity of MissionWhat you set out to do …
Do not Divide the Nation :(Let Merit alone be the criterion.
Let us all be “proud” Indians!)
Inclusive Growth needs to include
All INDIANS
Create Equal OpportunitiesAs against
Exploiting Poverty …….To……
Craft Divide
Only moral integrity
Can make India secure from inside
And strong enough to face threats from outside
The hope is in
The Future – The Youth
A Million Mind Workers
Who are today raising their collective voice around
the world
AND
Are being heard
Young, impressionable minds
That can take up the cause
IF
We today start the onerous task of
planting the seeds
Unleash The Power of Youth
YOU(TH) can make the Difference
Let us
First set the example
And then
Take the fight to the campuses to the temples of learning
So that a deep aversion can be created against all forms of
corruption
Empower the
To Break the Shackles of
CorruptionUproot the seeds of
DistrustAnd forge
Unity, Harmony Peace & Brotherhood
Time has come…
To raise our voice in unison
To speak in one voice so that we can be heard
over the din.
The rest would then start falling in place…….
What can I DO?
• Honour and Support those that Raise their Voice
• Avoid Short Term Gains for Long Term Goals
• Do not Buy my way out
• And most important Raise a Voice to weed out corruption
The CompanyTo Build
INDIA of my DREAMS
One NATION
One COUNTRY
One PEOPLE
