Public Utility Services

One question faces India today. What should be the driving force for development - the capitalism or the socialism?

India is big country and a big section of population is still struggling for basic amenities. There is need of rapid development as well as availability of basic amenities at affordable prices. In this scenario if the situation is left totally on market and let the corporates decide the fate then there is risk of market manipulation. On the other hand a complete socialist model may not yield desired result of development. It is not desirable for any government to run the business.

So what is the right way forward. There is one solution which can help in harmonizing both factors and yield desired results.

Public Utility Service Commission PUSC

We can have autonomous  PUSC bodies for various public utilities. For example :
- Electricity
- Water and Sewerage
- Roads
- Telecommunication
- Petrol and Diesel
- Food material
- Healthcare
- Education

These commissions will do the macro management. Being autonomous these will work in more swift and result oriented manner. In addition free from all political compulsions these bodies can take care of all sections of society on the basis of actual need and availability. The corporates will play their part under supervision of these bodies in a fair, transparent, accountable and level playing manner. The supervision of PUSC and the market factors then will balance each other to give best results in efficient manner.

India needs harmony of socialism and capitalism. We must understand capital has no value without development ready population and vice versa. Both needs to nourish each other instead of exploiting each other. The harmony and balance is the key forward. This will give real development of entire population as well as will give big business growth.

Right Goal Right Path

No nation can develop if it sets wrong goals or move on wrong path. And also no nation can develop by confused mindset.

If a nation wish to progress, there should be no doubt or conflict about goals and path. That is what people call vision. Do we have vision for our nation. Vision for Modern Developed Glorified India.

What kind of nation we wish to develop. How do we see India 50 years later. 

Nationalism
Nation must speak in one voice. And this should be with strength. There should be no hesitation, no meekness. There should be no discussion with people who talk or act against national interest or integrity. We need to have strong determination and passion for nation. There should be no hesitation is dealing strongly against anti nation thoughts and acts. First thing a nation needs is commitment of its people. We must have efficient intelligence and strong defense services capable of handling all kinds of threats and warfare. Above all we must have strong will to safeguard our nation and national interests.

Health
We need to invest high in health of people. A sick nation can never progress. Diseases, addictions and malnutrition can spoil any amount of planning for progress. Nation needs people with physical and mental toughness. Only healthy people can efficiently take part in nation building.


Education
Education does not mean degrees. Spending few years in school and colleges is not enough. We must have education system that can help in promoting wisdom, value system, life skills, creativity and mental development to be the best in the world. We need to take care of children right from the beginning. We need to have world best schools and universities.


Religion
Religion can both make or break nation. There are plenty of proofs. Religion must transform with growing times to remain a guiding source towards positive humanity. Whenever religion does not grow and goes into transformation, it causes regressive mindset and ultimate destruction of nation. Religion must remain compatible with modern life. Religion must rise above particular way of dressing, customs, rituals and beliefs. It must focus on universal spirituality, positive humanity, honesty, integrity, brotherhood, mutual respect, kindness, compassion and strength of character to save weaker and pursue higher purpose of life.

Freedom to live
Like human beings, nation must develop a progressive identity. It must support free and fearless life to its people. Safety from crimes and corruption, equality of gender, freedom of expression, freedom of identity including sexual identity, honorable existence and other basic elements of dignified life. Freedom itself will generate sense of responsibility and self discipline. 

Poverty Elimination and Development
Only when above mentioned goals are achieved, we can have meaningful progress leading to holistic development. Chaotic and confused activity, half hearted or piecemeal approach, wrong goals, wrong path, wrong speech can not yield good results for nation. Only well defined well planned well executed action can result in good result.

Those who feel for the nation must come together and take responsibility of nation. They must set right goals right path right action in place. The question is - Can we rise above selfish interest and work for nation, together ???
