Integrated Action for developed India

To achieve the distinctive profile of India, we have the mission of transforming India into a developed nation. We have identified five areas where India has a core competence for integrated action: 
(1) Agriculture and food processing 
(2) Reliable and Quality Electric power, Surface transport and Infrastructure for all parts of the country.
 (3) Education and Healthcare 
(4) Information and Communication Technology 
(5) Self reliance in critical technologies. These five areas are closely inter-related and if progressed in a coordinated way, will lead to food, economic and national security.

 The major mission is the development of infrastructure for bringing rural prosperity are through Provision of Urban Amenities in Rural Areas (PURA) through creation of three connectivities namely physical, electronic, knowledge leading to economic connectivity. The number of PURA for the whole country is estimated to be 7000. Educational institutions can participate in evolving road map for development of PURAs in their region. I have come across such example: in Periyar PURA at Vallam in Tamil Nadu, where students and teachers of Periyar Maniammai College of Engineering and Technology are working in the planning and development of a cluster of sixty five villages involving one lakh population. Economic development alone is not sufficient. Moral values coming out of civilizational heritage are required to be built among the citizens from the teachings coming from multiple religions. I would like to illustrate through few examples.
