“Let us explore how an action plan for exercising entrepreneurial skills leading to self-employment ensuring economic, social, and political dignity be made feasible.”

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.
