Mission “FATEH”
Abstract
The seeding for the national independence took place around 1857 or even before with the vision of an independent
& free INDIA. After 58 years of progress, the aspirations are mounting that India should become a developed
country. This is the second vision for the nation. How we can prepare ourselves to this challenge? A strong
partnership among the R&D, academy, Industry and the community as a whole with the Government departments
will be essential to accomplish the vision in a mission mode. Rural Prosperity through Connectivity, Interlinking of
rivers, Employment Generation through entrepreneurship are some areas where a lot of steps have to be taken and
to execute these all works efficiently depends on Creative Leadership that can be given by young & quality leaders
as the leaders are the creators of new organizations of excellence.
Introduction:
Since our independence in 1947, in many aspects of life, improvement in literacy, agricultural
products, and strategic areas, certain small and large-scale industries took place. Also, the life
expectancy has increased. We are capable of producing sufficient food grains, cereals and milk.
Today, India has the capability to design, develop and lead to production strategic systems for
national development and security. Also, we have seen in the ambient conditions the growth in
the Information Technology. When India was clamped with economic sanctions in 1998, after the
nuclear tests, by developed world, we combated successfully.
Need of another Vision:
o Although, we have seen the growth in the Information Technology but the country is
progressing in a limited way in software business and in hardware we are yet to take off.
o The nation is going through a major challenge of uplifting of 260 million people who are
below the poverty line and 370 million people who are not literate. They need habitat,
they need food, they need health care, and they need education and employment and in
short a good life.
o Our GDP is growing approximately at 9% per annum on an average. Whereas, the
economists suggest that to uplift the people below poverty line, our economy has to grow
at the rate of 10% per annum consistently, for over a decade. Then it is possible for India
to get developed economically.
o Our employment generation system is not in a position to absorb the graduates passing
out from the universities leading to increase in educated unemployed, year after year.
There is a large mismatch between the skills required for the modern economy and the
education imparted to most of these students.

o Economic growth and investments have not kept pace with the availability of human
resources. This situation will lead to instability in the social structure.
o To achieve best, there is always the need of a direction or Vision. This was the vision of
leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawahar lal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajeev Gandhi and
many more which have led us up to this point. Their visions were correct at that time
according to the situations. But, now, we want to put our INDIA on the list of Developed
nations, this needs another vision again, we can’t pursue with the old visions as we want
change now, a revolution on the whole.
Areas which are needed to be revolutionize:
The important five areas which are closely inter-related and would lead to national, food, and
economic security are listed as:
1. Agriculture and food processing - we have to put a target of 400 million tons of food and
agricultural production. Other areas of agriculture and agro food processing would bring
prosperity to rural people and speed up the economic growth.
2. Reliable and quality electric power for all parts of the country.
3. Education and Healthcare - Education and healthcare are inter related. Information and
Communication Technology - This is one of our core competence. I believe that this area
can be used to promote education in remote areas and also to create national wealth.
4. Strategic sectors - This area, fortunately, witnessed the growth in nuclear technology,
space technology and defense technology.
Major Missions:
Some of the major missions which are essential for transforming India into a developed nation
they are: Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas (PURA) and interconnecting river basins
and Employment generation through entrepreneurship. The brilliant minds who are graduating
today would become partners in these missions and transform the country into a developed
nation.
1. Rural Prosperity through Connectivity
Nearly 700 million people of India live in the rural areas in 600,000 villages. Connectivity of
village complexes providing economic opportunities to all segments of people is an urgent need
to bridge the rural-urban divide, generate employment and enhance rural prosperity. The
integrated methods, which will bring prosperity to rural India are: the physical connectivity of the
village clusters through quality roads and transport; electronic connectivity through tele-
communication with high bandwidth fiber optic cables reaching the rural areas from urban cities
and through internet kiosks; knowledge connectivity through education, vocational training for
farmers, artisans and craftsmen and entrepreneurship programmes.

2. Interlinking of rivers
Interlinking of rivers is essential for controlling floods and droughts, for making drinking water
available to all regions, for transporting goods and navigation, for generating more cultivable
land and generation of hydel power. This mission will also provide large scale employment
opportunities through out the country. Science & Technology may be very useful in this area as
we have innovated techniques i.e. satellites (*role of youth)
3. Employment Generation through entrepreneurship
A three pronged strategy is needed to make education more attractive, make it skill imparting and
simultaneously create employment potential.
o The educational system (*role of youth) should highlight the importance of
entrepreneurship and prepare the students right from the college education to get oriented
towards setting up of the enterprises which will provide them creativity, freedom and
ability to generate wealth. Diversity of skills and perseverance in work makes an
entrepreneur. It should be taught to all the students.
o The banking system should provide venture capital right from every village level to the
prospective entrepreneurs for undertaking new enterprises.
o There has to be an economic pull for human resources; for example generation of
marketable products and enhancement of purchasing power among the people through the
implementation of national missions. The educational institutions, Government and the
private enterprises should become facilitators for creating this entrepreneurship scheme
through the support of the banking system and the marketing system.
Feasibility:
The mark of success could be established only when the Youth will understand the need of the
time and will start thinking about the India’s Development rather than being self concerned.
Inspiration:
o India was in a ship to mouth existence for food grains. If the American ships do not bring
wheat, there will be a famine in India. But there were two visionaries who worked
together with the farming community and brought the first green revolution. They are the
political thinker Shri. C. Subramaniam, the Agriculture scientist Dr. M.S. Swami Nathan
and Dr Kurien the master mind behind the white revolution.
o The Vision of nuclear programme led to establishing series of nuclear power plants
adding 3000 megawatt power to our electrical grid of 100,000 megawatt.

o In 1980's, India had a very low base in Information Technology. Some young
entrepreneurs with their innovative and creative thoughts, within the difficult boundary
conditions of India's rules and regulations, showed how IT enabled services can fetch
export revenue(*role of youth). Subsequently, even Govt. had to bring out innovative and
liberalized IT policies. Now, our young IT entrepreneurs are making export revenue of 15
billion dollars.
Conclusion:
Creative Leadership (Role of Youth)
There are 540 million youth below 25 years in the population of a billion people. The nation
needs young leaders who can command the change for transformation of India into a developed
nation embedded with knowledge society. The leaders are the creators of new organizations of
excellence. Quality leaders are like magnets that will attract the best of persons to build the team
for the organization and give inspiring leadership even during failures of missions as they are not
afraid of risks. The creators of vision and missions always found to be youngsters.
One of the very important ingredients for success of the vision of transforming India into a
developed nation is the evolution of creative leaders. I am giving a connectivity between
developed India, economic prosperity, technology, production, productivity, employee role and
management quality, all of which linked to the creative leader. Who is that creative leader? What
are the qualities of a creative leader? The creative leadership is exercising the task to change the
traditional role from commander to coach, manager to mentor, from director to delegator and
from one who demands respect to one who facilitates self respect. The higher the proportion of
creative leaders in a nation, the higher the potential of success of visions like developed India.
There is a need for the creation of creative leaders who will be participating in the transformation
of India into a prosperous, happy and strong nation. I am sure as the youngsters who made the
India’s first mission a reality, India’s second vision i.e. Mission “FATEH” will be a reality as
well.
