Despite all the efforts and various plans made at the government level, poverty haunts us and simply slows down the rate of improvement. So could we claim that poverty is the biggest challenge facing India today? Absolutely not… fact we are trapped in a chain, better to say we are coupled with other in challenges just like India is coupled with the world events in the financial world. Illiteracy, dirty politics, burgeoning population, threats on internal security, secularism, regionalism et al are the major challenges posing a threat to our existence. Every time we are handed with a problem, we simply try to pass it on the next level. A simple question arises- why me? Why not others? The blame game is on and on… we We must look into Gandhian thought … must be the change we wish to
“
see”
…
I am on..is there anyone to support me? Let us go back to the roots…
