Now our journey in food production has gone from a shortage to an exporter of food grains. The foreign rulers had brought the agriculture system to such a state that, at the time of independence, the country neither had sufficient food grains nor the basic facilities for food production. In 1950–51, only 50 million metric tons of food grains were produced, which was not enough to feed the country's 350 million population.

The seriousness of the situation can be gauged from the fact that in 1962, 15 years after independence, our leaders had to appeal to the people of the country to observe a one-time fast. I have read our leaders saying, "Tie a rope on your stomach, eat more greens and vegetables, fast once a week, and respect the country as your own."

To deal with this situation as soon as possible, Indian politicians took many big steps, including land reform, expansion of irrigation facilities, promotion of scientific methods and research in agriculture, and the Green Revolution. With the passage of time, the use of new technology and machines helped increase the production of food grains. As a result, today India not only provides food grains to its entire population but also exports agricultural products. Presently, India ranks second in the world in terms of food production.

India is a developing country, and the number of youth workforce here is very high as compared to other countries. Now that the youth are more numerous, creating employment opportunities here is a big challenge. There is a need to work at the grassroots level for employment in India. Fixing educational institutions in this structure is of the utmost importance. About 80 percent of the graduates have been found unemployed in India, so it is also pointed out that there is a great need for change or improvement in the structure of educational institutions.

In India, fewer funds are allocated for R&D in proportion to the Gross Domestic Product, which is one of the main factors in the absence of employment. Developed countries spend about 3 percent on R&D, while India spends only 0.86 percent. By increasing their expenditure on R&D, big companies will increase their chances of opening in India. Demands to create a better business model. As India is a huge country, there is a need to pay attention to the domestic economy in order to increase jobs here.

Per capita income in India has doubled. But one challenge still remains. India became the fifth-largest economy in the world last year. After the ND government came to power, the per capita income doubled to Rs 1,72,000. But unequal income distribution remains a major challenge. In 2014–15, the per capita income in India was Rs 86,647. According to this, per capita income has increased by 100 percent in the last 9 years. At the same time, the per capita income at real prices (constant prices) increased by 35 percent during this period.

In the year 2014–15, the per capita income at real prices was Rs 72,805, which increased to Rs 98,118 in 2022–23. You are looking at the GDP at current prices, but if you look at the figure keeping the inflation rate in mind, then this increase is very small. Most of the increase in income has gone to the top 10 percent of the population. On the contrary, the average salary is declining. In real terms, it is less, but if you compare us with the rest of the world, we are in a better position.

Note: At today's rate, 1 USD is equal to 83 Indian rupees, or 1 STEEM is equal to INR 15. Incidentally, in comparison to the rest of the world, we are in a far better position.

In the 75 years of independence, there have been radical changes in many other areas, including education, health, Indian banking, transport services, internet connectivity, and media. At a time when India was going through a lack of health services, becoming a global supplier of medicines and vaccines in an epidemic like Corona is a major achievement.

We must be proud of our achievements, but we must not forget that the achievement we are celebrating is only a step towards opening up new opportunities. Even greater victories and achievements await us. In the future, we will not have to rest and sit quietly, but make continuous efforts.
I would like to invite my friends @josepha, @ @crismenia, and @ridwant to please show their views.
