Zero Year for the most deserving segments of society is the new thought process from the man of ideas.

By NV Paulose

Down the line history of India will have saluting message of the genius of Dr. CV Ananda Bose IAS. His relentless pursuit in search of innovative solutions to address the agony of the enormous suffering of humanity has won appreciations many times in the past and present. The future course of society as well keep applauding thanks to this great visionary of all times.

Zero Year for the most deserving segment of society across the nation is his latest innovation among ideas for large interventions in society. At the beginning of the thought process it is about giving exemptions and benefits in favour of the people who had suffered large set back in their life during COVID 19 Pandemic. Students who could not pay fees should get exemption. Those who could not fetch admission in schools and colleges should get an year freezed in their age and everything else in the records.

There are such interventions recorded in the history. There need to be deliberations and discussions conducted at various levels to derive at suitable solutions. There can be interventions at governmental level, social interventions at local to international level, institutional and organisational level interventions, religious level initiatives, social insurance for addressing future calamities.
Dr Bose is of the opinion of utilising large youth power in making social initiatives to create Avenues for creating social enterprises. Office less organizations and home based activity networks can help economic revival of the bottom segments of the societies.

International tourism should give way for internal tourism, village economy should strengthen the national wealth. Public offices should take up Nirmithi Kendra model housing schemes in social development collective action pools. Time bank and land bank should become part of the development process.

Ideas should make the nation vibrant and dynamic at the grassroots level. Government should give tax exemptions for residential, employment, rural health and women empowerment initiatives. Direct linking of tax revenue with social target like housing and health for all are all possible when we come together and think being a Unite Nation.
Dr Bose can think out of the box and yet remain simple and humble. His roots are value based. His dreams are really amazing. The great visionary Dr CV Ananda Bose should be welcomed at greater bodies like Niti Ayog. His interventions can set new models like interstate collaborative initiatives.

Can we seen one or two steps further forward?

Imaginary Imagination

Imagine there is a forest, a government, a minister and a business man. Two of them are joining together and conspiring about how they both can benefit out of the forest. Who are the two? Minister and the Business man. They make a plan of action. An application comes from the business man to the government through the minister. Forest is allotted for him for a nominal price. He cut all the trees. Make large money out of it and give half of the profit to the minister.
This is the scenario present at present. The new scenario is similar to this. New appearance is a social economist who believes in creating wealth and taking revenue out of it. New proposal is for creating forest with large participation of people in the society. Miyawaki concept is introduced by Ramakrishna mission. Identifying patches of land in the city and making mini forests everywhere. The team who plant forest and maintain it will get access to the forest. They can also cut the tree one bye one when each of it is grown in full measure provided replantation is taken care in a phased manner. Each team can make revenue models like honey boxes etc. during the process of planting and nurturing the forest.

Miyawaki is a japeneese visionary who had invented thick forest concept of native saplings. Native saplings when plated closer grows faster and better. Aliens when introduced will fight and distroy the native saplings. Lot of research is required when introducing the plants into the forest.
Urban forestation is a large activity that can involve large number of youth in the process. Campuses can take up this being part of the changes in education method as envisioned in the new National Education Policy. One third classroom Education, one third project based practice and one third online education is proposed by honorable Vice Chancellor of Mangalore University. This is also in line with the visionary approach of new education policy.
Bolt and nut is a combination. Corruption was the inspiration for the minister in the first part of the story. Creating and taking is the new model. Ill-fated money is converted into converted wealth. People at the helm of affairs want money in advance. They should understand the new model is like a recurring revenue. It keeps on coming once it is implemented well. Like perennial water from a well than the water from a tank constructed in the city. Perennial sources of revenue are plenty around us. Difference between this and that is only in one aspect. Wealth creation and sharing is a prosperous way and corruption is a cancerous way. Imagine one crore youth are engaged in wealth creation in a state with hundred rupees per day per youth goes to the chief minister being a revenue share to the top of the pyramid in wealth creation. What an amazing idea it is. States will open up and offer opportunities for all unemployed youth in the country. They are about fifty crores in fact. Perennial wealth comes out of pure ideas and unconstitutional love.
Ultimately the wealth in the world remain for the generations to come to reform it and to recreate it. Isn’t it?
