Since the unevenness in the distribution of income affects even more adversely to the poor; we need that Entrepreneurship that can contribute to the self-employment that ensures economic growth as fast as is possible. We need that Entrepreneurship that can contribute to the self-employment that ensures an in-built mechanism to improve rapidly the distribution of income through the process of growth itself. We need that Entrepreneurship that can contribute to the self-employment that ensures the integrations of the processes of the distribution of income and the processes of economic growth thus effectively solving the problems of various structural inequalities rooted in caste, gender, and religious discrimination.

Our young population, our rising social spending, our entrepreneurship coupled with our ability to adopt technologies with speed and ease, and our government that is increasingly being forced to deliver, together will translate into a nation that is high on aspiration, is willing to take risks, will spend more, and in general, will be more demanding. Today with around one-third of our population under the age of 15, we as a nation will definitely stay young bubbling with energy.

An estimate that puts up the figure of addition to our national workforce at an average of one million every month for the next 20 years is a huge demographic dividend that together we can make Self-employable by helping the youth explore the Entrepreneurial Talents Within to help construct everyone’s Life Responsibly ! This Demographic Dividend yields the nation the power of millions of young agents creating change and creating wealth on the ground.

Self-reliant Entrepreneurship that reinforces the belief in Independence can definitely realize sustainable and inclusive growth leading to creation of wealth and the creation of change in the sectors of governance, technology, health care, energy, agriculture, Indian multinationals, urbanization and the growing soft power of our nation.

Keeping Faith in every one’s self and in us both as a people and as a nation, we can strive to make ourselves capable of exploring how an action plan for exercising entrepreneurial skills leading to self-employment ensuring economic, social, and political dignity be made feasible.

India, Poverty, Diversity of Religions, Languages, Ethnicity, Illiteracy, Various Forms of caste, religious , social and gender discrimination

 

The problems are inter-connected and we can effectively deal with them by orienting the exercise of our entrepreneurial skills to contribute constructively to a coherent and satisfactory answer, with a vision of the course for the future development of India. Our Entrepreneurial Efforts alone can significantly correct the markets and enhance the planning by the State.

What we need is an effective Exercise of Entrepreneurship to eliminate rapidly mass poverty and illiteracy. What we need is an effective Exercise of Entrepreneurship to overcome simultaneously various social barriers arising from caste, religion, and gender prejudices.

Market-oriented high growth in a globalizing world or bureaucratic state intervention with centralized planning cannot achieve this, if not coupled with Effective Exercise of our Entrepreneurial Skills aiming to achieve the elimination of poverty, illiteracy and the inhuman social barriers.

In clear, non-technical terms, based on economic reasoning and political analysis, this book provides this alternative vision, and some concrete steps needed to initiate the process. Such an alternative path of development is indeed feasible even within our political system despite all its shortcomings.

The exercise of our entrepreneurial skills alone can ensure that all citizens of India live with economic, social, and political dignity. The obstacles in the way of Effective Entrepreneurship driving the states and the markets towards realizing these humane objectives are our biggest challenges. Meeting these challenges are the compulsion of our democracy and the temper of our times. Let us explore the reasons why we never took up these challenges. The purpose of our intellect and its work is to be able to imagine and explore how an action plan for exercising entrepreneurial skills leading to self-employment ensuring economic, social, and political dignity be made feasible. This book does precisely that.
