- Dr. Anand Ranganathan explores India's incredible journey over the past 75 years, focusing on the remarkable progress in poverty reduction, infrastructure development, and economic growth. Despite these successes, significant challenges persist, including poverty, malnutrition, and education gaps. Delve into the critical role of the state in fostering a healthier, wealthier, and wiser workforce, while questioning whether India is truly on the path to becoming a developed nation. Join us as we examine the data, celebrate our achievements, and confront the realities that still need urgent attention to ensure India's continued rise on the global stage.
In his entire speech, not once he had looked at any data and stats. He reproduced them by memory. Wow. Excellent!
his daily routine why to peep.
Teleprompter must have been there and if that’s the case, there is nothing wrong with it. He prepared really well.
Even Modi is like that. Can go on for hours. But switch off teleprompter, hell’s let loose 🤣🤣
It is a shame that this lecture has attracted just 2600 views in 13 hours. Absolutely idiotic videos attract millions of views. People need to start sharing this widely for it to reach a critical mass. Such an insightful talk! Brilliant!
Absolutely Brilliant
When every Indian citizen is having these discussions in their households, that is when we will truly become a developed country
In 22 nd century !!

Current generation can never make India a developed country
If changes are made in education system today then only upcoming generation will make it possible
Common people shouldn't worry about these things, and most should not have time for this. It is not their job. The state should worry about these policy/welfare decisions. Implement the right policies for the people it takes care of.
@@bharatiyaseeker4460 Unless the people discuss these aspects why would policy makers be incentivized to take them seriously? This idea that the State should take care of everything stems from Socialist era ideology. We are past that. Today politicians take up issues seriously when voters care about them and hold them accountable to it.
We want more people like Ananda Ranganath in our country it can only be achieved with better education 🙏
There is absolutely no reason why India should be a poor country some 80 years after independence. It is a man made tragedy, not caused by an insidious imperial power or climatic events but by a state apparatus that is without ambition to truly transform the nation they supposedly serve.
India still isn't free. The political class doesn't believe in economic freedom, they are all statists. Nor do they deliver on core services like judiciary and police. Time is running out. Demographic dividend is being squandered and soon the country will grow old. 6% growth isn't enough to become an advanced economy by 2050. India is a 5000 horse power, V16 engine with just one piston moving. Please check out the economist Milton Friedman's memo to government of India from 1955. Imagine the India that could have been had a major course correction taken place in the 1970's. 100s of millions would never have had to experience the horror of extreme poverty. The sons and daughters of Bharat could have strived for the moon.
@@tubelz well said, in complete agreement with you, yes will check out Milton Friedman.
@@tubelzNice, well said.
I just want to add on,
Collaboration between educational, vocational institutions and industry is an essential requirement of this country if we want to reap demographic dividend. We should have to produce workforce that is in equipped with skills which is demanded in the market. Govt. And industries should give boost to make this idea a reality otherwise we'll miss the flight again.
If we want to flood FDI in our country, skilled workforce is a must.
Also, 1st and the foremost government should start implementing NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY, so that an initial thrust can be realised.
Industries should consult with institutions about what kind of skills they want from them to teach so that curriculum is devised in such a way that generates skilled workforce which is demanded in the market.
Same collaboration is required between educational institutions and research institutions at a larger level.
@@varunnamdev2434 an industry ready workforce which can engage in a globalised economy is a must. There is a rather poignant saying about India, “India never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity” it’s a sad indictment of India’s economic history since independence. Indeed at independence India was actually in a good position for economic growth. She emerged after the Second World War with an industrial base intact and a liberal trade/economic policy. This contrasts dramatically with east Asia which was left in ruins.
Yet, as we all know, Nehru and his embrace of socialism completely shackled India’s economy. Decade after decade was criminally wasted and what is absolutely disheartening as an Indian is to see the potential of generations being systematically squandered right before our very eyes, which sadly continues to this day. Even more depressing is that after two centuries of the humiliation of being a mere colony of a tiny European state, India post independence had many opportunities to grow rich and put this painful chapter of her past to rest by allowing her population to become wealthy.
Indians deserve so much better, we have been made poor and exploited for centuries and yet since independence countless opportunities for rapid wealth creation were present. Our neighbours to the East showed us time and again what needed to be done, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan and China in particular stand out that freeing up the factors of production in conjunction with a trained workforce, an investment led economic model which was initially protectionist but ultimately liberalised in order to build up “national champions” to dominate global industries, was their path to prosperity.
Yet the Indian state refuses to at least attempt to replicate aspects of the East Asian model, only recently focusing on investment led growth. There is another poignant saying that the Indian state reforms by “compulsion, not conviction” and this unfortunately is what we’re left with, a state that is unwilling to truly modernise India but will settle for empty slogans like a “developed India by 2047” which is an impossibility given the political and administrative structure that currently exists.
I wish more people would wake up and realise that India is being kept poor by its political class and antiquated bureaucracy. India has all the ingredients to be a fabulously wealthy country but this is being denied to over a billion Indians, which is probably one of the most abhorrent acts a state could commit against its own people, to keep them poor and ignorant.
@@tubelz political class is the reflection of us citizens we are the one electing them, we decide what agenda is important , what issues drive us to vote . hence unless we as citizen do not change we will always have these politician. so in essence we are getting the politicians we deserve and in future if change ourselves for better than we will get better politicians
In this era of overload of information very few speakers like Anand Ranganathan are eye openers
L😊
What we need most is to awaken the countrymen to the oncoming i-virus tsunami !
word my nigga
this is the type of criticism we desperately need to promote and make mainstream . why the opposition not raising these issues ?
Because if they bring this up. They will be expected to fix it when in power. And they don't want to
Because the opposition is just waiting for its time to make money. Every government when it comes to power shows it's true color. It is only upto us the citizens to demand more from our local MPS and MLAs that the center will then hear.
@@David-y2l9z Their entire focus is on caste, as if doing caste from morning to evening will make India the most developed in the world.
Bcoz opposition parties doesn't want to see india developed and prosperous bcoz if people become aware then their vote bank and politics won't last long.Also they don't care about the country rather they care to be in power.Just imagine Western countries,Japan was destroyed during world war but they became developed very fast compared that to india after 78 years of independence we are far behind them and this happened bcoz of bad leaders and governments and out of 78 years congress ruled 60 years alone and more than half of the problem existing today are their due to bad policies👀🤔
Anand rolls out the basic truths about the Indian economy. These are the issues that should be regularly debated by the Indian media. The economy is rife with gross inefficiencies. Looks like State Governments, too, are dysfunctional. Anytime is election time in India. For decades, China pulled the bulls by the horns and eventually emerged as a shining success. Indians have to be pragmatic.
Excellent lecture that has touched a crucial point not only for Indian economy but also for all other countries-take care of your future workforce. Michelle Obama initiated the school lunch program in the USA and Republican states didn’t want to implement it. The difference in the intellectual capacity between the states’ students is obvious starkly visible. I hope Indian business leaders take a lead on this project. State government may not have interest in it but society must step in where governments fail.
School lunch program in entire country of Japan, is said to build healthy nation and discipline. Even small kids are taught to push food carts and also clean afterwards.
No doubt Dr Anand truly gem of our times 🙏
India needs economic freedom.
Britain does not have it with its 25% poor people.
He should be our next Finance Minister
Let him be wise....
He should be NITI AYOG.
Simple
He has shown somewhat real face of India as on date. But ignored the real core issues like
1. Population of our country in relation to healthier wealthier wiser and flexible parameters and its context while comparing with the global parameters.
2. Per capita land availability and its context with the above 04 parameters
3. poverty line and literacy rate parameters and its baseline whether it is sufficient or not
4. Imbalanced socio-economic growth and development within the country and its relation to the growing unemployment. Why GDP is growing but equivalent jobs are not getting created in the country and why economic growth is achieved and not able to achieve socio-economic development with an eye on environment.
5. per capita forest land available to avoid manmade disasters like drought, flood, landslides, global warming etc
Few more observations
1. Poverty rate is 4.5% which is calculated based on Poverty line determined by GOI.. is that sufficient to determine poverty we can mull it over. 1286 per month for urban and 1059 per month for rural, which works out to 43 rupees and 35 rupees per day per person. in today's context what a person can get with 43 / 35 rupees per day to live above poverty line????
2. How much forest cover then and now? how many trees we have grown for every tree cut to build highways and for mining. as per world bank norms, for every tree cut to build highways atleast 04 trees has to be planted and nourished. what we have planted after cutting tamarind tree on the highways. According to the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) guidelines, the general practice is to plant at least three trees for every tree cut. have we grown enough trees to compensate to avoid flooding, to conserve ground water to avoid landslides etc.
3. He spoke highly about mid-day meal which has given impetus to socio-economic development but now we need to keep an eye on the environmental development along with this socio-economic development and not merely focusing on Economic development which most of the current governments are concentrating which is a disaster.
4. Agriculture related to GDP is not the right parameter since that sector is providing food security to the whole nation. after internal consumption, rest is going for sale which contributes for the GDP. India is having nearly 150 crore population and we can understand how much our internal consumption would be. So measuring GDP with this Agri sector is not at all correct, since survival depends on this sector, we cannot eat money for our survival isnt it??
5. US China has larger land availability per capita which we dont have...we dont have such an industrial based economy as like China. service sector economy we are which cannot survive for long term.
6. Why PSU's are loss making, we need to mull it over...???? selling PSUs is like selling your assets which we have created over the years. what we need is to revive those units to give impetus to industrial development, which will contribute to the real growth and development and not the service sector.
7. BSNL was there providing connectivity to the entire nation when no private player was there. In the name of privatisation, BSNL was made scapegoat as like AIr India. Telecom and aviation is the sector which is thriving but BSNL and Air India was not performing. answer is not to sell the assets but to revive those assets.
8. Minimum Support Prize, why cant we give to the farmers for all the products and allow them to sell in the market with this guideline value?? when we have guideline value for land purchase and when we have regulating authorities for aviation, telecom and even for equity markets. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs), Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). SImilarly Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) and Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is also there. what is the issue? I dont agree with his statement of giving freebies to the farmers by adopting MSP. The MSP is a form of financial intervention designed to support farmers by providing them with a guaranteed price for their crops.
9. Bringing back old pension will increase the burden on the budget which is not sustainable.
Overall, its an eye opener for the current government to mull over about the real ground situation of our country and determine the policies and programmes to aid future socio-economic and environmental growth and development.
for environmental protection lot many lakshmi kutties are required to avoid landslides, flood and drought and to conserve the ecology of our sub continent. so our growth will be sustainable, else mere economic growth will be a disaster which we are adopting as on date.
Great analysis
India needs 1000 great cities that can self govern and have fiscal powers.
True.
Will possibly be possible only by splitting indian states into smaller states. Also making big cities into city states.
Also tax structure should be like switzerland, where central government only collect small amount of tax from income tax(something like 10%) . All corporate tax should go to state government.
Even in China 50% of the budget is spent at local level while in India this is just 3%. China is more fiscally decentralized than India!
@@tubelz nice point. Although I wouldn’t want India to emulate china’s policies in India since they are communist. So Swiss successes would be more ideal to implement since its democratic and more prosperous.
You are right on how this might be achieved. Every district could become its own state. The power to create new states exists and no constitutional changes would be needed.
@@tubelz I think each district into state would be too much. I agree to some extinct to the 75 states proposed by Gautam R. Desiraju in his book "Bharat 2.0".
Although some proposed states in there would be blunder in terms of border/national security.
Brilliant Dr.Rangarajan. We need more people like him. He should be
in the goverment. One dozen people like him in government will
transform india . My good wishes
with him. He is not biased. To the point and very logical. God bless.
One of the best speech of India
Our countrymen need to be educated on the points highlighted by Mr Ranganathan
🙏🏼Be Active citizen like him🙏🏼 now it's time to choose you aim according to the nation problems .that India is facing is ground reality explained by him.
Brilliant speech!
The glass IS half full! Thank you!! 🙏🏽😪
Superb!!!
This is called retrospection!!
Hawame rehake kuch nahi hota, Jamini hakikat is more imp
Great work WMG - He spoke largely neutrally about political scenario in the country, we need more speakers like him in today's times... keep up the good work WMG Group
As always Anand Ranganathan is at his best. Truly unbiased analysis. The way Anand presents his analysis/argument, whether it is a lecture or a TV debate, will always mesmerizes his audience. 👌👌👌
I feel every politician should listen this , it’s absolutely an eye opener
Awesome speech... Ranga sir always put out the facts that no political parties even guts to discuss.
From which planet you come from Boss, you nailed it.
You are very big man, but if I can get a chance to meet you for couple of hours, I will be blessed, coz I want to take your idea and contribute to my Bhartaha
Love your discussion.
Big fan
AR, The Perfect Indian? Absolutely! Brilliant insights. Hope PM Modi is watching this.
A total eye opener....one person who calls a spade a spade...bravo! There is a lot of food for thought here. Lot of actionable 'low hanging fruits'...is anyone listening?!
I really wish we had a PM like him. Democracy has literally killed this nation. The biggest complex in my life is that I'm an Indian.
We should also critically assess our party and offer suggestions. Anand sir is not a BJP guy, he is a Indic wing gaint.
an eye opener
Brilliant articulation of facts that make you sit-up and feel inspired to do something for the nation 💐.
Thank you Anand Ranganathan ji for your exhaustive presentation of data that are eye popping.
7th September 2024 = What a brilliant speech 🔥🙏🇮🇳👍
I wonder what " Road Ahead...", means? Politicians for over 70 years have successfully converted Bangalore from Pensioners Paradise to Garden City to Garbage City and now Concrete Jungle. Coming soon Tunnel Roads...for Bangalore. I'm only guessing, in the last 50 years, Politicians must have spent over 50,000 Crores to repair and maintain Bangalore. This money could have been spent to build Satellite Townships 100 kms out of Bengaluru. The Townships could have been provided with high speed Rail and Road Connectivity to Bangalore. The Townships would have had world class Recreational, Educational and Medical facilities. This should have been the foresight of Town Planners and people in power. Bangalore would have long since been decongested and would have remained a Pensioners Paradise.
Perfect speech with proper facts, but the sad reality is that the politicians will never understand this, its not that they do not understand this but they don't have the guts to implement these things, they don't want to loose their vote bank and people never understand the big picture so they vote for their short term advantages.
Excellent speech, india needs social transformation. Its the society that falls pray to freebees rather than rejecting it. Grassroot level education is must to choose the right leader who can bring long term transformation.
One of the best speeches ever.🙏💐👏👏
Anand sir u talked about the reality of our nation as well as today's politicians but we people can't understand these things because you choose politicians as a normal criteria we don't see that they have any visionary leadership or any talent or not to do development of our society. We vote on a normal basis that it's part of life not the most important thing for our country.
Sir I am living in our city where the same politician is winning since 2 decades but when you see the development of this area 😮you find out that how people is noncence and uneducated because they didn't think about that.... बस चल रहा हैं तो चलने दो . That's the mindset of today's people of india.
I hope this video will go in public to think about what states can do and how to do it for us .
Thanks Anand sir 🫡🫡
Anand Ranganathan is always depressing! What the hell is our govt doing, I blame Nehru for his policies in 1947, I don't want to blame Modiji in 2050 if we didn't leap frog now! @Modiji please make tremendous inhouse policy change like a dictator if needed. Democracy doesn't work because most of the population is always stupid. @Anand Ranganathan, I feel blessed that we have a voice like yours for India!!!! May you reach every corner of this nation and your message reverberate so much that we leap frog soon!!!
Excellent !!! Anand is indeed a gem
Excellent speech Sir. You have bundle of knowledge.
Fabulous Anand.. amazing facts & figures as usual..hope the states & central pay heed to your suggestions 😮
Wonderful eye-opening speech by this gentleman. Let the stake holders take queue from this speech and implement some of then in their domain.
One of the best speech every Indian must listen . Hats off.
It's always a delight and insightful to watch, listen Dr. Anand Ranganathan.But the sad part is the views are so less compared to useless videos,reels or contents. No doubt we are in the right path and central government is also trying their best to make viksit bharat but like Dr.ranga said it is not enough for us to leapfrog,there has to be good policies,intent, vision,roadmap,courage to make it happen.Fact of the matter is we don't have options available in political spectrum,we don't see opposition parties talking about these things,we don't see opposition parties doing constructive criticisms,we don't see our opposition parties addressing the issues and solutions,we don't see them portraying their vision, roadmap,intent,courage,honesty, leadership in making viksit bharat,this is the sad reality of indian politics 👀🤔🙏
Health and Education are the most serious ones.
Skill India has turned out to be
STILL INDIA.
Yes.Still only
No forward movement t
Thank you Anand ji..❤
good speech and lot more to do fir SUPERPOWER....🎉🎉
EVERY BHARTIYA NEEDS TO HEAR THIS!!!🚩
India has probably become very very fragile. It is a very scary scenario indeed. But he 100% right. Bigger issue is that nobody seem to be even bothered..
Dr Raga Nathan makes us realize there must’ be intellectual forum at National level ! Exclusively chosen or sponsored experts from time to time to represent various segments of specialists of learning from all regions of nation to come together to extensively debate , about various current or future aspects of our National development strategies and guide and counsel our National parliament even various state legislatures This must happen by public funding by people at large ! Even tiny donations of few rupees say 1 to10/- per month from few millions of people periodically will aid better governance & development our motherland India! Hope this happens for good of our people !
Brilliant indeed!!
We need to have a parallel non political movement to emphasize and educate people (keeping in mind no Kejriwal is born as a by product of the same).
Wonderful explanatory speech by Dr.Anand. Its time to catch low hanging fruits and stop all non sense schemes by any government, whether state or center.
Excellent Anand sir
Superb !! Eye opening speech 🙏
A wonderful INSIGHTS by DR. RANGANQDHQN
Great eye opening facts about lack of knowledge and understanding of what India should do for the people
very correct ,midday meals scheme started by kamaraj ,who did not go to schooll
Excellent speech
Dr.Anand, your speeches are always attractive, facts based, hard hitting & surprising to audience. In this speech you talked about Govts role, but how you forgot that most of our politicians are illeterates & incompetent to be politicians. They are suposed make important laws, but most of them are unfit people. So, i think we shiuld send good politicians through good political parties OR at least a party like BJP shiuld build good, educated, honest teams of politicians & its not very difficult. Where there is a will, there is a wsy.. Right... We have to address the elephant in the room, the quality of politicians.
One thing i will request Mr Ranganathan to inform the audience in his future lectures is the date of invention of birth control pills . The continuous production of children by our "Janata Janardan" is the biggest problem . if the parents of children are not worried for the future of their children, why should the politician be ?.
Indian population growth is not extraordinary. Birth rate is 2 which is below even population replacement value on 2.3. Learn to be analytical and contribute intelligently instead of forming anecdotal world views
Anand wows me every time he speaks
Dub in Hindi as this is information is to be needed to reach every citizen of India.
I know of villages in Bengal where the children are not interested in going to school inspite of insistence of the teachers and also the free meals
That must be village of pissfulls😅
They are going to madarsas why they need to go schools then 😂
Wonderful session
Apart from BSNL all other points I agree
BSNL needs to be under the government as a lot of our secured communication are through the BSNL example army, security agencies etc
Very few people who are honest as him.
Just keep Rahul Gandhi away from Parliament India would go and ban freebees
This is such great information given by Anand Sir but unfortunately we do not discuss these things publicly or at our home.
The media keeps us showing Pakistan and religious politics and nobody gives a shit about it which is sad.
Wow! An eye-opener!
As usal he is excellent ...As usal excellent eye opening stats
Thank you WMG Group for this Upload 👍❤️ & you have added 1 More Subscriber 👍😀
Good Informative Video 👍
A very interesting presentation.
Let me show some opposition to two propositions.
1. MSP - a better understanding of agricultural economics is required to castigate it. This aspect has been ignored before sounding it as a freebie. Yes I agree it is being distributed as an electioneering proposal.
2. OPS. Yes there are economic issues related to the pension management. It is a global issue. There are two dimensions that need to be addressed before castigating it. Why is there a demand for OPS? This needs to be understood before solutions can be talked of. The issue is that each Pay Commission has provided neutralisation far more than what the markets can deliver.
Excellent speech Dr Anand R.
Excellent prescriptions. Does the political will exist for implementation?
Your talk as usual is excellent and revealing especially to us the diaspora.Modiji needs to redirect his energy to education and water conservation
Excellent insights about the Governance
Eye opening talk 45:03
Fact of our country well articulated and explained , need to fwd to masses and more politician and Economist cum advisors . Appreciate efforts - Thanking you
What A Great Speech 👏👏👏
Excellent
Very good 👍 👏 👌
Ranganathan,Jaishankhar,Sanjeev Sanyal and many more brilliant people in the BJP Govt.
I agreed on most of point but if everything goes to private players than what happened in case of jio, and other sectors very soon corporate are finishing small business
Great insights by Doctor Anand 💯
Both the ruling parties and the opposition should be patriotic and accountable. First they should have the basic understanding of the democratic process. Eg: if the government brings an amendment or a new law, which would be throughly analyzed, discussed, and debated rather than simply making a mockery of it in the parliament.
definitely a Line must be drawn between freebees and Welfarism.
Only 38k views and 1.3k likes...that tells us the story!!!!
He should write a book on this topic like how he wrote a book after his "Hindus are 8th class citizens" speech
We are aiming so low, if we are to become really rich we should aim for 120 trillion economy and strive to achieve it.
This is an excellent presentation. I hope this will lead to some business solutions.
Your audience will listen to you and go back and forget everything. Nobody is worried about India.
Anand is the best!
Absolutely correct
I love that because they give their best and are never seen again.😂😂😂
Excellent talk
❤
