http://www.newsweek.com/2010/08/15/interactive-infographic-of-the-worlds-best-countries.html

I really expect you to contribute from your side to bring the new changes in our Country.

NOTE: Here the short information about “ADDRESS TO THE NATION BY THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA, HER EXCELLENCY SMT. PRATIBHA DEVISINGH PATIL ON THE EVE OF THE 64TH INDEPENDENCE DAY”

Some amongst us may ask, what difference can these small efforts make? For them, I recall a story of a man walking down a beach, moments after a storm. He noticed a person ahead of him picking up starfish washed ashore and throwing them back into the sea. He asked the person how his efforts could make any difference, as the beach was long and there were lakhs of starfish washed ashore who would die. The person looked at the starfish in his hand and threw it into the water saying, "it makes a difference to this one". The message is clear - every effort, big or small, does make a difference.

And Why we can’t do it, we have 540 million youth from India. You are one from that count.

For example:

- Ensure that your own living street is clean and has all common facility like proper Water/Drainage/ Electricity/ Telephone/ Road/ etc

- Share the knowledge

- Educate others

- Don’t ever encourage bribe/crime/steal even for your own needs

- Complaint right away or escalate to other level until you can find the respective officers if you seen any mistake

- Understand your own rights

- Don’t accept everything if you are not sure and If it’s against rule

- Don’t go just with the normal routine habits which may be against law or improper way to do the things

- Don’t cheat others, Because you may be cheat by others in other case

- Help others if they couldn’t find the solution

- Open your mouth to raise a question if you seen such improper things

- Thing better than better if you have better things with you.

- Don’t think in negative way that this situation will not change. Imagine the growth, how your grant parents were and how you are.

- Please do visit to some primary school and Have a discussion with kids.

- Understand your own rights and Educate to other about their rights. (We have all such social benefits as like Western developed country has, but in reality most our people don’t know how to get such things or even they don’t know whether such things are existing in our own country)

- Help people to get Identity. For example: Income tax card/License/ Vote ID/ Post Office ID card. How many of your known people (Family members/relatives/neighbors have Identify card? or Income tax card? Why, are they not interested to get or they don’t know that how to get?

- Understand the Indian Law if you have any doubt. (You can easily refer from Official web portal of India)

- Understand the rules and regulations and educate those rules to others If possible. At least you can start from your own, For example: Driving rules & regulations.

- Etc

For example, I have one good idea to clean your street. Complaint to respective Government department if you couldn’t change clean your street. Or otherwise meanwhile you could spend 500 INR p.m to some jobless people to take care of cleaning activity for your street if you don’t have time to take care by yourself or compliant by yourself. This may make big different.

You can give job to some person and you can clean your street. It doesn’t help to keep clean your own home. Please consider my kind request and Do the needful.

I remember when I was studying in Govt School, Chennai. Don’t thing that was old story, it happened nearly 98’s. May be still happening. Few Educated People (who were working as engineer or some technician or Business people) came to my school and they spent only few hours with us and shared some common information like Technology/Ideas/ Hygienic/ Entertainment/ Sports. We really amazed on that time.

For example, you can show the information from your laptop or 3G Smartphone. This may cause more good inspiration to Kids, At least 1 Girl or 1 Boy may get benefits from that. We can start from own region or own native village or may be from other places. Let’s do it at least once in 3 months.

Please include your thoughts and pass to all.

I just want to do something, whether it makes a big different or not. I do my own small contribution.

Could you please share your thoughts and ideas.

Jai Hind!,

Vanjinathan Ramalingam.
