The Indian Youth in making India (Make in India)

The best way to inspire and involve the Indian youth in making India an upcoming economic power is for all political parties to engage themselves in politics of development. In your well-considered opinion what measures should be adopted to achieve the goal.

Needless to reiterate and reaffirm that India needs politics of development rather than the politics of polemics and populism. More than ever before, both people and political parties should see to it that they work for harmony and not for acrimony among people professing different faiths and practicing varied ways of conduct and character in their day to day lives. No other concern and consideration should weigh on the perceptions and priorities of politicians, programmers and planners, except those that enhance developmental activities in all walks of life and ultimately help improve quality of life of those subsisting at the lowest levels of our socio-economic ladder. It is time now that political parties of every hue and hype focused their manifestos, programmers and policies on developmental vision and pragmatic approach and action to achieve the goals of social justice. There is no denying that the most effective measure in this direction is the involvement of youth in developmental activities and a harmonious harnessing of their youthful energies and enthusiasm. For this to happen on the ground, we, as an upcoming nation, need to orient ourselves towards development, whether on farms or in factories, on technologies or service sectors, et al.

In order to make the best use of resources, both human and natural, all political parties must converge on developmental politics, because without development we cannot hope to engage our youth in constructive and creative activities, nor can we envisage a situation in future when poverty would be a thing of the past. It is true that barring a few examples, we do not have many icons among our political parties. The youth needs role models that only politicians can provide, because they wield power and affect people and their proclivities in large measure. Political parties should visualize a situation in future where our burgeoning youth should see an imprint of great leaders in every action.

It goes without saying that people’s ethos, values and character are crucial factors that determine whether the country will move forward on a progressive path or stagnate. The education system, along with many other channels and sources of knowledge, must concentrate on cultivating in every citizen a sense of eternal values, as well as instilling discipline among them. The media, too, as partner in national development, should celebrate the success of the people and become an invigorating instrument of inspiring the youth by highlighting the best and the most unique among those who shine like stars in the firmament of our political spectrum.

 A mainframe computer is a much larger computer that typically fills a room and may cost many hundreds or thousands of times as much as a personal computer. They are designed to perform large numbers of calculations for governments and large enterprises.
 Read-only memory (ROM) is a storage medium used in computers and other electronic devices. Data stored in ROM can only be modified slowly or with difficulty, or not at all.
ROM is non-volatile and the contents are retained even after the power is switched off. It only allows reading. The types of ROM include PROM, EPROM and EEPROM.
 Random Access Memory (RAM), allows the computer to store data for immediate for immediate manipulation and to keep track of what is currently being processed.
RAM is referred to as volatile memory and is lost when the power is turned off. It allows reading and writing. The two main types of RAM are static RAM and dynamic RAM.
 SRAM retains data as long as power is provided to the memory chip and need not be refreshed periodically. SRAM stands for Static Random Access Memory.
 The data on DRAM continues to move in and out of the memory as long as power is available and must be continually refreshed to maintain the data. DRAM stands for Dynamic Random Access Memory.
 Primary memory is computer memory that a processor or computer accesses first or directly.
For example: RAM, and Cache Memory.
 Secondary memory (or secondary storage) is the slowest and cheapest form of memory. It cannot be processed directly by the CPU.
Secondary memory devices include magnetic disks like hard drives and floppy disks, optical disks such as CDs and CDROMs, and magnetic tapes, which were the first forms of secondary memory.
 Virtual memory is memory on the hard disk that the CPU uses as an extended RAM.
