Immature Human Capital of India: Country demands development

The whole world is running behind two resources that can drastically increase their pace of development, i.e. energy and human capital. Today, we will talk about human capital, an asset that most nation wishes to get hold of. Human capital are those chunk of competent people who are well-educated i.e. engineers, doctors, scientist, educationist, etc and contributing in the growth of the nation. But the question I’m raising here is that – Is it worth having human capital in India? How much they have contributed to the development of India? Do they realize their importance for a developing country like India? Are they fulfilling the aspirations of their country? 

I somehow feel that human capital of India has missed the line and it is on the wrong path. They have forgotten their duties towards India as a responsible citizen. They don’t realize how much the country has spent in creating them. I think the sense of responsibility is missing in the educated people today; they are not gratifying what their profession demands from them.


The country demands from them that, they turn-out to vote proficient people during elections because they understand whom to vote, how to identify good candidates during elections and this voting pattern can change a lot, but they are very pessimistic about Indian politics that they have started losing faith in voting too. The statistics of voter turn-out during elections is that rural people comes out to vote more than urban educated people. Then how can we expect the change in our system, until and unless these educated people come out to vote.

The country demands from them that they contribute towards green India, they should understand festivals are not meant for polluting the environment (diwali is not meant for bursting crackers and holi is not meant for wasting water), and then saying that our environment is becoming worst than ever. We cannot attain the status of clean India until that enthusiasm to find a dustbin in our country is missing in the educated people. They just want to throw rapper, bit and pieces of what we eat or use anywhere without caring about country’s image.


The country demands from them that they come out and raise their voice against corruption. Bribing is not a solution, it is easy for you pay a bribe as you earning a good amount, but think of whole as a society, it is not easy for everyone. Think of a vendor earning a meagre amount daily, who has to pay a bribe for getting a birth certificate, a license, etc. Corruption is an evil which has ruined India and it has affected every class of the society. We have to join hands and work as a civil society for bringing good reforms.

The country demands from them that they start using public transport facilities because the city’s traffic is increasing day by day. They should understand oil is a natural resource that is not going to last forever; the day is not far behind when all these vehicles would be of no use, just a scrap. The way we are using the oil today, we are not going to leave anything for the posterity.
The country demands from our doctors that they understand that patient’s life is more important than their few hundred rupees of consulting fees. They should treat their patient as god because if no patient would be there, their earning would drop to zero. Getting a good medical treatment is not a common man’s deal now, it has to change now.


The country demands from our engineers that they start developing technology and equipment's with minimum carbon emissions. They develop cheap technology so that it reaches common man too. They innovate and invent stuff which could change the way we people live today, in a constructive manner. They should think of sustainable development as a future development strategy.

The country demands from our bureaucrats that their administration should reflect that common people’s voice is heard in trustworthy manner, irrespective of their political influence. As bureaucrats are driving force for developing policies, their focus should be on lower strata of the society, which is suffering from lack of resources. The way bureaucrats is sitting silent against all the odds prevailing in the society. The way they are involved in doing buttering of politicians, the way they don’t take any action against any politicians, this has to change and a clear message should go to the people that no one is above law. I believe that bureaucrats can change everything established in the society, they can bring development to common people’s feat.

I believe that human capital of India will soon understand their responsibility and India will traverse the path of development in every sector.
