Although there are few blueprints for development on such a large and
diverse scale, India has pioneered a host of bold new initiatives to address
these and other challenges. For instance, the countrys flagship Skill India
initiative seeks to equip Indias growing young workforce with the skills
needed to compete in todays rapidly changing work place. The skills
program is complemented by the Make in India initiative, as well as with
efforts to ease the process of doing business. Both these programs aim to
ramp up the jobs available to meet the aspirations of the vast numbers who
enter Indias job market every year.
Next, with urban areas being the fountainhead of jobs and a better quality
of life, the Smart Cities and AMRUT programs focus on creating dynamic
urban centers in towns and cities across the country. At the same time,
India aims to put an end to open defecation one of its most intractable
challenges - by implementing the Swachh Bharat Mission (Clean India
Mission) nationwide. In addition, the country has renewed its focus on
cleaning and rejuvenating the iconic Ganga which stitches together the
northern heartland and which is home to some 400 million people.
In short, as India works to improve the quality of life for its citizens and lays
the foundation for a prosperous future, Lighthouse India is generating
many lessons on development which hold relevance for both India and the
world.
