EMERGING INDIA DEVELOPED INDIA PROSPERITY 19th CENTURY 20th CENTURY SECOND VISION: DEVELOPED INDIA SELF SUFFICIENCY IN FOOD IMPROVED STANDARD OF LIVING PROSPERITY FIRST VISION: INDEPENDENT INDIA 1.7  Vision for the nation   We got freedom in 1947, that was the result of first vision for the nation. This vision created best of leaders in many fields like politics, philosophy, science & technology and industry. In many aspects of life, improvement in literacy, agricultural products, strategic areas, certain small and large-scale industries took place. Now more than fifty years have gone by and we are called as one of the hundreds of developing countries, in a distinct way a separation from G-8 countries. We have many challenges. Nearly 300 million people who are below the poverty line have to join the mainstream of a good life. 100% literacy, health for all, multiple industrial and agricultural productivity and life style with value system has to emerge ECONOMIC GROWTH >10 % GDP NEAR ZERO POVERTY LEVEL NEAR 100 % LITERACY SELF RELIANCE IN CRITICAL SECTORS INDEPENDENT INDIA FIRST INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT 1857 1947 1997 2020 19th CENTURY 20th CENTURY 21st CENTURY www.presidentofindia.nic.in

Whereas, the demand of agricultural products will double in quantity, productivity using technology and post harvest management will have to compensate the manpower reduction in farming and agricultural products sector. In the case of industry, in 1980, 13% of the population was employed in small scale and large scale industries. The trend continued during 1994. However, it has to increase in 2010, as the GDP growth with high technology in the situation of opening up of the economy under WTO region. The pattern of employment will take a new shape. Service with knowledge industry component from 11% employability in 1980 has increased to 20% in 1994. And further it will increase to 54% in 2012 in view of infrastructure, maintenance areas, financial sector, IT sector and entertainment demands. This big change will demand in all areas more trained skilled human power and technology personnel. Our industrialists, commercial chiefs and technologists may have to get ready for such transformation in agriculture, industries and service – knowledge industries for which human manpower with knowledge and skills has to be evolved in a mission mode. Ensuing lecture will discuss the strategy for employment and nation wealth generation. And also evolution of knowledge management has been presented linking vision for the nation.

ECONOMIC GROWTH & SOCIETAL TRANSFORMATION Raw material and Agricultural Products Industrial Products Information Products Knowledge Products Tertiary Sector (Services) Innovative knowledge- Intensive Products/Services Secondary Sector Explicit Knowledge through networks Primary Sector Explicit Knowledge (Technology) added Products VALUE ADDITION 1.5 Economic growth in different societies During the last century the world has undergone a change from agriculture society, where manual labour was the critical factor, to industrial society where the management of technology, capital and labour provided the competitive advantage. Then the information era was born, last decade, where connectivity and software products are driving the economy of a few nations. In the 21st century, a new society is emerging where knowledge is the primary production resource instead of capital and labour. Efficient utilisation of this existing knowledge can create comprehensive wealth of the nation and also improve the quality of life - in the form of better health, education, infrastructure and other social indicators. Ability to create and maintain the knowledge infrastructure, develop knowledge workers and enhance their productivity through creation, growth and exploitation of new knowledge will be the key factors in deciding the prosperity of this Knowledge Society. Whether a nation has arrived at a stage of knowledge society is judged by the way the country effectively deals with knowledge creation and knowledge deployment in all sectors like IT, Industries, Agriculture, Health Care etc.,   Natural Products SOCIETAL TRANSFORMATION Agriculture Society Industrial Society Information Society Knowledge Society www.presidentofindia.nic.in

INDIAMILLENNIUM VISION, MISSION & GOALS MISSION PROJECTS DESIRED GOALS CORE STRENGTHS TECHNOLOGY GENERATORS TECHNOLOGY VISION 2020 NATURAL RESOURCES Vast Coastline Minerals Biodiversity Food, Health & Social Security MISSION PROJECTS Value Addition C I V I L I S A T I O N A L H E R I TA G E DEVELOPED INDIA 2020 INDIAMILLENNIUM Economic Prosperity HUMAN RESOURCES Traditional Knowledge Knowledge Intensive Org. Services 1.10 Vision, Mission & Goals   We have so far considered the profile of knowledge society, multiple components and system integration. It emerged from the deliberations of the task force that the core strengths of the nation have to be coupled to the desired goals. The nation’s strengths predominantly reside in its natural and human resources. In natural resources, India is endowed with a vast coast-line with marine resources and also oil wealth. In minerals, apart from conventional material resources, it is well-known that India has the largest deposits of titanium, beryllium and tungsten. India ranks among the top few nations having a rich bio-diversity. Particularly, in the herbal area there are potential applications for developing multiple products for nutrition, prevention and cure of diseases. Of the global herbal product market of US$ 61 billion, China has a share of around US $ 3 billion, whereas India’s share is not even US $ 100 million. Hence, there is tremendous opportunity for growth in this area. India has similar potential for promoting floriculture and aquaculture in a big way. Knowledge-based value addition for these natural resources would mean exporting value-added products rather than merely the raw materials. Use of IT for commercialisation and marketing can increase our outreach and speed enormously. Ancient knowledge is a unique resource of India for it has the treasure of a minimum of 5000 years of civilisation. It is essential to leverage this wealth for national well being as well as to seek global presence for the nation. Human resources, particularly with large young population, are unique core strength of the nation. This resource can be transformed through various educational and training programmes. Skilled, unskilled and creative manpower can be transformed into wealth generators particularly in the service sectors, agro industries etc. Knowledge-intensive industries can be generated out of our existing industries by injecting demand for high-level software/hardware, which would bring tremendous value addition. It is said, “the precious asset for a company or a country is the skill, ingenuity and imagination of its people. With globalisation, this will become more important because everybody will have access to world class technology and the key distinguishing feature will be the ability of people in different countries to use their imagination to make the best use of the technology”. Indeed development and innovative use of multiple technologies with transparent management structure and coupled with IT, will catapult India into a knowledge super power KNOWLEDGE GENERATORS RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE WORLD SELF RELIANCE MISSION Defence & Internal Security www.presidentofindia.nic.in
