My imagination being a Prime Minister of India

 

India is a country which has a vast economic, social & political history. From formation of Congress in 1885 ultimately playing a decisive role in independence, formation of constitution in 1950, economic reforms of 1991, GDP growth of record breaking 8.5% in 2007 to BJP forming government in 2019 our has seen many historical highs & lows during this era. In India, every person, in their lifetime, think at least once about becoming a Prime Minister, possibly to reverse some decisions made by the government against the concerned person or group’s interests. 

During our childhood we have a utopian vision about PM, which is to be accessible & valuable to people. From a normal standpoint, the economic, social & political matters are based on the decisions made by Government, which in turn, is headed by Prime Minister.

The job of Prime Minister is not a bed of roses though. It is a whole country & managing India, the largest democracy of the world is a tough task for a single person. Yet, as the 1^st task after assuming PM office, I would ascertain the impact of current policies on Lower income groups.  It is important because in India there are various laws & policies introduced by the government with the aim to uplift the growth of lower income groups, but the root problem lies in its implementation. To ensure this, I would try to identify those persons, who have in the recent past, have contributed to welfare of poor people. There is a need for the educated public to support me, as success of nation can be derived only with cooperation & coordination. This requires that people should have a self realization, along with some motivation, not to derive any personal benefit but to work for others. 

2^nd task is to encourage unemployed youth to start their businesses instead of looking for jobs. The future is AI & thus, to increase productivity in each sector, all the entities whether, government or private will have to shift their focus towards Automation & as a result, jobs opportunities will surely decrease. Instead, business will provide scope for self labor & self satisfaction for the proprietor, along with overall increase in productivity & employment.  This will also mitigate the problem of Disguised unemployment as the extra persons can engage in Dairy Farming or Apiculture or any other businesses which they want to. Skill India & Make in India mission currently carry these objectives but there lies a responsibility to enhance their scope.

3^rd task will be to promote more awareness among poor people to educate children. Young minds make the future of our country bright & thus, education & healthcare are necessary for them so that they can turn into a resource for our country in future. On this note, I will try to create a type of environment, which will encourage the young minds to work primarily for India, rather than going abroad & resulting in Brain Drain. Education needs needs to be refined & focus will be to drive forward the NEP & evolving new vocational training models so as to enable the students know & gain expertise in their respective useful skills. 

Next on my list is the dealing with problem of Corruption. The root cause of committing is to gain a whopping additional income in short period, which is difficult to earn while in a job. For Example, If there is a objective to win elections, we are at a certain point need to give advances to poor people even if I don’t side the policy at all. Laws & punishments don’t actually work & eliminating it is an impossible task, instead enraging people to indulge more in corruption. Thus, as a positive reinforcement, I would want to introduce Non-monetary rewards to people for their good acts, periodically. Non-Monetary rewards will give a sense of accomplishment & satisfaction to people, which will allow them to further indulge themselves in good acts. Even if we give Millions, Monetary rewards don't give a satisfaction to people . This is a form of LEGAL Corruption but aim is intact.

I also want to improve the performance of Public Sector Units , the aim being to bring their performance at par with the leading private companies of our Country & thereby increasing exports,. In this way, taxes can be controlled & funds to repay debts can be tapped using their profits. This would reduce the need for deficit financing & hence there would be an reduction of Price Fluctuations & inflation.

These are the major areas which I would assess and try to improve the overall growth of our country in my tenure. I hope that these ideas may get implemented to some extent in actual governance & these changes can refresh India & put it on the right path of progress.
