We can call India developed only when the following can be achieved: 1. Children in all parts of India should be provided compulsary education. 2. Cost of certain very basic commodities (classified as food, clothing,etc.) should be reduced and standardised so that any Indian, rich or poor, has the purchasing power to buy the basic necessities of daily life. 3. Every Indian has the responsibility to help uplift the backward - but one needs to understand that the best solution is to provide them the opportunity to study and compete. 4. Lift all kinds of reservations in vogue. Enacting reservation is itself a sort of discrimination. All the government needs to do is provide equal opportunities to all Indians.
