Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

India’s Population Explodes -- 5


2011 census tells us that India has 159 million children in the age group of 0 – 6 years.

Average age of India’s population, which was 25.3 years in 2009, will go up to 29 years by 2020 when the population itself will climb to 1370 million people – an increase of 160 million over today.

Will there be jobs for all these young people ?

National Skills Development Corporation ( set up in Feb 2011 ), has the mandate to provide “ Skills “ to 500 million people by 2022, to make them ” employable “ .

Like “ mandates “ of successive governments over the past 60 years to “ Abolish Poverty “ ?

With regards
