He remains very optimistic about the future of our country
Ghanshyam Sarda is India’s renowned businessman and the Chairman of Sarda Group of Industries, headquartered in Kolkata — which operates in jute industries, real estate, IT/ITES and other diverse sectors that employ more than 80,000 people in West Bengal and across India. He is a veteran with more than forty years of impeccable entrepreneurship legacy. Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda’s rich and extensive experience has given him a unique perspective on India. He is committed to contributing to the cause of the development of society and putting India on a global map of prosperity. He remains very optimistic about the future of our country.
Ghanshyam Sarda believes that India needs to address three central “pillars of change” to emerge as a global power in the near future. These are skill development and employment for the future workforce, rural India’s socio-economic inclusion, and a healthy and sustainable future. To tackle the challenge of adequate skill development in the country, he believes that interventions need to come up at national, state and local levels, including public-private partnerships that can be a game-changer to prepare our youth for the future of workforce disruption and innovation. On the other hand, India’s rural population has lagged for far too long when it comes to employment and employability. In view of this, Ghanshyam Sarda proposes comprehensive infrastructure reforms in rural India on a high priority basis, both physical and digital, and the supporting infrastructure to uplift the agrarian-based rural economy through incentives to bridge the rural-urban disparity in terms of development.
Given that industrial pollution is one of the biggest challenges plaguing India today, Mr. Sarda opines there needs to be a policy change at the highest levels, adopting the sustainable and eco-friendly development model to minimise or neutralise the impact of development on the environment. “Once we put the policy and framework in place to tackle the challenges that bog India down, we would be much better positioned to delve into the future. We need to think of it as a foundation on which we can build futuristic India,” says Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda.
Based on research, it is estimated that if India continues on its present growth trajectory, it could have a US $5.6 trillion economy in the next two decades. The future of India will depend on the policy, strategy and decisions taken and implemented today. Hence, while sharing his two cents on building a ‘Futuristic and Future-Ready India’, Ghyanshyam Sarda suggests, “To build India 2.0 and usher in a new era, we need to adopt a few strategies. First, we need to use traditional techniques to solve current challenges, adopt new and innovative emerging technologies that have already proven to work for other developed nations, and finally innovate with policymaking, business models and so on to leapfrog the country’s developmental agenda.”
Ghanshyam Sarda hails India’s space programme, digital push, development and research in science and tech and profoundly admires home-grown start-ups that are driving India’s growth. The future of the nation, he envisages, will be an India that is self-reliant, powerful and progressing at a rapid pace. He believes India will embrace a ‘founder-first’ mentality, wherein start-ups will thrive and India will become the new frontier of manufacturing, technology and job creation in the coming decade. Lastly, Mr Sarda believes that for inclusive and sustainable growth and to build India 2.0 – the India of the future, businesses, policy and civil society leaders and all other stakeholders have to all come forward and work in harmony for the betterment of the country.
In a shocking development, YouTuber Praneeth Hanumanthu has become embroiled in controversy following his detention by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. Initially arrested for making offensive remarks during a podcast, Hanumanthu's predicament has escalated, resulting in further allegations under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act after he tested positive for cannabis consumption. The Context of the Detention The origins of Hanumanthu's difficulties can be linked to a podcast he hosted, which included a conversation that many considered highly unseemly. During this episode, he made inappropriate comments regarding the dynamics between a father and daughter, igniting outrage among viewers and critics alike. This incident quickly garnered the attention of both the public and law enforcement, prompting an investigation by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. The primary allegation centered around his remarks, which were deemed to have crossed the boundaries of acceptable discourse. This scenario raises broader inquiries about accountability and the duties of content creators, particularly in an era where online platforms can amplify messages to a large audience. As a public figure, Hanumanthu's statements carry substantial weight, and the backlash he has encountered signifies society's increasing intolerance towards harmful rhetoric. Charges Related to Substances Things took a turn for the worse for Hanumanthu when, following his arrest, authorities opted to perform a drug test. The results confirmed the presence of cannabis in his system, leading to additional allegations under the NDPS Act. This legislation is a strict law in India aimed at combating substance abuse and trafficking. By testing positive for drug use, Hanumanthu not only worsened his legal troubles but also further tarnished his reputation. The addition of drug-related charges initiates an important discourse about the effects of substance use among influencers and celebrities. Many young individuals look up to figures like Hanumanthu, and such disclosures can have significant consequences on their perceptions and behaviors. The fallout from his actions extends beyond legal issues; it also encompasses the ethical obligations that accompany public visibility. Reactions from the Public and Consequences The public’s reaction to Hanumanthu's arrest has been varied. Many viewers voiced their outrage over both his initial remarks and his later substance use. Social media has been inundated with discussions, memes, and criticisms, illustrating the swift spread of information and opinions in today’s digital environment. Critics contend that individuals like Hanumanthu should be held accountable for their influence, particularly when it concerns endorsing a healthy lifestyle and responsible behavior. On the other hand, some supporters have rallied behind him, advocating for the necessity of empathy and understanding. They highlight the pressures that accompany being a public figure, especially in a hyper-connected world where every action is scrutinized. This divide in public sentiment mirrors a broader societal conversation about celebrity culture, accountability, and the intricacies of mental health and substance use. The Wider Picture of Substance Abuse Hanumanthu's situation is also part of a larger discourse regarding drug abuse in India, especially among the youth. As discussions about mental health and substance use become more widespread, incidents like this underscore the pressing need for awareness and education about addiction and its root causes. The stigma surrounding drug use often hampers open dialogue about the topic, leaving many to endure in silence. Moreover, the legal implications of the NDPS Act spark questions about how society addresses drug-related offenses. While the act aims to deter substance abuse, critics argue that such laws can disproportionately impact certain demographics and do not tackle the underlying causes of addiction. Conversations around harm reduction, rehabilitation, and public health strategies are increasingly relevant within the framework of these laws. Prospects Ahead for Hanumanthu As Hanumanthu navigates the forthcoming legal hurdles, his future remains unpredictable. He faces possible legal repercussions for both his unsatisfactory comments and his substance use, which could greatly affect his career and personal life. The scenario serves as a cautionary example for content creators about the consequences of their expressions and actions, highlighting the need for thoughtful engagement with their audience.…
