Business Stewardship: Growth with consensus

The President of India, Dr. A.P.J. Kalam, in a recent address on National Growth Objectives, has laid out an 8 point plan for employment generation and the country's development.

The address makes for compelling reading as it seems to choose areas with which almost no constituent in the sub-continent of a billion people, could disagree. He moots water conservation, area-specific farming, value-addition in rural India and a host of the most staggering yet simple ideas. Each of them can be done and the Nation could start today. None of them are out of material reach and all seek harmony with nature. They should render poverty to the dregs of small pox and achieve widespread social justice as never before.

They are good for business and would help industries and the stock market as well.

The process by which his Excellency has arrived at his prescription, merits analysis and is worth trying at whatever level we operate. It is based on facts, resonates with crying needs and meets foreseeable concerns of all sections of society.

The potential for agreement in no way dilutes the strength of conventionally opposing points of view.
