The first two pages (sample enclosed) on the site and sell directly to actual interest groups within India, we will have these books in all Indian languages and in fact all of them are under revision to 40 pages from the present 32. The book is available for Rs 50.

Dear Citizen of India, our suggestions are for the following Action Plans for Transformation:-

1. 100% Primary Functional Literacy - Details on page 9. Learn to read & write any Indian Language in 40 to 60 hours. @ 1 hour per day for 5 days a week. Nearly 500 million people need to learn the 3 R’s.

2. Primary & Secondary Education - The dropout rate of 94% must be reduced to less than 10%.

3. Enterprise Skills Development, ESD - See pages 8, 11 to 13. We suggest that this should be started for Classes 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th. ESD is 'about enterprises and how the real world works'. Help's decide future choice of profession. Build’s confidence in one self. Only two hours per week are required.

4. Vocational Education & Training, VET - See pages 8, 10, to 13. VET teaches the youth a skill or a competence or a trade. One learns to do some skilled job! 95% of the youth in developed countries go in for VET. Excepting for I.T., which is 1.5% of world’s GDP, where there may be 50,000 training centres operating in India. Where are the training centres for skills required to run the balance 98.5% of the GDP?

5. Liberalize Education - Privatize all Higher & Technical education. See page 12 for details 

6. Private and NRI participation in Education - Government should concentrate up to High School only.

7. Entrepreneurship Institutes in each Block - Entrepreneur Promotional Institute in all the Blocks of the States. 97% of new employment is in the unorganized sector and SME’s. See page 12

1. Removal of 'Reservation for small scale industry'. SSI does more harm than good, pages 14, 26 & 28.

2. Amend 'Labour/Employee Laws' and give local enterprises a level playing field - Details on pages 14.

3. Recognize the meaning and importance of 'SME's and not 'SSI's. We must understand the importance

of the 'M' and the 'E' in SME's as 'SME's account for 90% of the Indian Economy against 7% in SSI. This recognition should also be understood & supported by financial institutions as well as trade & business.

Priority 3 - Export related activities in the Economy, other than software & I.T.

1. Trading, Wholesale & Retail, is 20 times bigger than I.T. (big employment & GDP generator)

2. Manufacturing, as an enterprise, is 18 times bigger than I.T.(generates about 75% of Govt. revenues)

3. Health Care, as an enterprise is 5 times bigger than I.T. (big employment & GDP generator)

4. Travel & Tourism, as an enterprise is 9 times bigger than I.T. (big employment & GDP generator)

5. Education, as an enterprise is 5 times bigger than I.T. (big employment & GDP generator) Details on pages 22, 25 & 27 and back cover. I.T. is 1.5% of the World's GDP, we need to look at the balance 98.5%! The above five areas of economic activity are only some examples, there are many others.

Infrastructure needs funding at 3.5% to 5% per year, rate of interest. The tenure of borrowing needs to be extended to at least 10-15-20 years, since it takes nearly 5 years for 'Building' and another 5 years for 'Gestation and Break-Even'. These bonds will low-interest but with incentives for tax.Kindly see page 23, paragraph 3.

Benefits of Leadership & Good governance are highlighted on pages 4 to 7and 17 to 22 respectively. If one looks at the contents page, one will notice that nearly 67% of our articles are ‘People Dependant’.
