Lack of Primary Education
(D)
 Increasing focus on
‘what is thought at
school’ rather than on
‘are children in school’
 Effective delivery of
education is key.
 Quality and quantity
of teachers, education
material, resources
are very low.
 In April 2000, over a thousand participants met
at the World Education Forum in Dakar,
Senegal and set an ambitious goal: Universal
primary education by the year 2015.
 Universal primary education is recognized as
important because it leads to many substantial
positive effects: better family health, lower
birth rate, higher productivity, higher earnings,
and improved economics of the country as a
whole.
 Globally, however, more than 115 million
children of primary school age do not attend
school.
Improving primary education in India

 The Government of India began a program for improving the status

of primary education in 2001, with the following areas of focus:

 Increase in teacher appointments and training

 Improvement in elementary education content and techniques
 Provision of teaching materials
 Improvements in infrastructure
 Education for disadvantaged groups: girls, disadvantaged
castes, and the disabled

 The Indian national government is hoping to achieve universal

primary education by 2010, five years earlier than the goal set in
Dakar. This is an ambitious goal, and much depends on the will to
make it happen at the national and international level, and on the
thousands of NGOs involved in education.
Lack of Primary Education
 In India there is a lack of primary
education at the grass root level.

 Still 30 to 40 % of the population is

illiterate due to which they are not able to
take their effective decision.

 Due to lack of education many

uneducated farmers are cheated.
Population
 India is the 2nd most
populated country in the
world.
 India's estimated
population to be
1,129,866,154, in July
2007.
 India occupies only 2.4%
of the world's land area,
it supports over 15% of
the world's population.
 Demographers expect India's population to surpass the
population of China, currently the most populous country in
the world, by 2030.

 BY 2030, India is expected to have a population of more than

1.53 billion while China's population is forecast to be at its
peak of 1.46 billion (and will begin to drop in subsequent
years).

 India is currently home to about 1.15 billion people,

representing a full 17% of the earth’s population.

 In 2000, the country established a new National Population

Policy to stem the growth of the country’s population.

 Almost 40% of Indians are younger than 15 years of age. About

70% of the people live in more than 550,000 villages, and the
remainder in more than 200 towns and cities. 
Lack of Opportunity…..
 In the fields of
Education.
 In the fields of
Employment.
 In the fields of
Environment & Health.
 In the fields of Politics
as well as in Policies.
Lack of youth politician in politics.
 The main reasons
for youth not coming
in the politics are :
 Lack of financial
support
 Lack of family and
peer support
 Poor reputation of
politicians
Lack of responsible leaders
 We need leaders like Lal Bahadur Shastri,
Vallabhai Patel, Mahatma Gandhi,
Jawaharlal Nehru etc. in order to take
favourable and effective decisions.
 Youth should come forward in order to take
responsibility.
 Today many of the leaders are corrupt and
dishonest towards their work.
Lack of strict rules and
regulations.
 Today everyone easily try to break the
rules and regulations for their benefits.

 Rules and regulations should be equal

for rich as well as poor people.

 Today most of the rules and regulations

are broken by the youngsters.
Natural ingredients essential
for becoming a superpower
 Adequate geographical size.
 Adequate population, having a good
level of natural intelligence.
 Reasonable level of natural resources.
 Will of the population to be superior.

India is pretty strong on the first three

requirements and that is why India can
become a superpower.
Will of the citizen to be
superior
 To change anything around us, first of all we have
to change ourselves and there should be a desire
or will to make changes .

 India should take inspiration from the countries

like Japan.

 We all are aware about the development that has

been done in Japan.
