Assignment 2 about 'Make in India'


 Many local business will be affected both in positive and negative ways by the make in India policy. Some products will be available at lower price because cost of the product will not include import duties and will help in increasing employment in India. But it will also lead to increase in competition in the local market leading to destruction of small scale start-ups in industries like clothing, hand looms etc. For my second draft I would like to interview budding entrepreneurs who are planning for start ups in India to capture their reaction on the call of Modi of 'Make in India'. My initial question to them would be the following : 
1. Who are the targeted audience according to you of Modi's call of 'Make in India' and what will  be its effect on the targeted audience ?
2. Do you see yourself affected by this call of Modi ? How will you be effected? How long the effect will last because it seems to be political issue?
3. Are you taking Modi's call seriously and you think his call would make any difference in any or specifically your industry and to the customers of your industries?
4. From overall development (including people affected directly and indirectly)  perspective is the policy of 'Make in India' fruitful or destroying ?

Second Draft Strategy


It is always very easy to do something but to do it correctly is a challenge. The same happened with my first draft. I focused on all the technicalities like word limit,citation but forgot to implement the main thing i.e., the structure itself. For the second draft I planned to reorganize the first draft and use the cwc structure sheet to proceed.

Revision of the first draft helped me to find the counter argument,so I will use the peer review again to get to know the ambiguity and the counter arguments in my draft. For the second draft I am also looking forward for the cwc help to reduce ambiguity and tighten the structure as much as possible. The comments of professor has also given all of us an idea of how we have to analyse our paper. Many of the professor's edits that make sense are also helpful to proceed towards the next draft. Only the thing left this time is the lack of ideas as I have to again think a lot because most of my thoughts were already covered in my first unstructured draft.

Modi has asked businesses to ask their employees to spend time cleaning workplaces, streets, and neighborhoods. What has been the reaction? Do you think Modi's call is appropriate, and/or what will/should happen next?


Everyone was busy in their work before the silent ambiance of the office room was broken by the laughter of the boss.He couldn't help himself laughing, forgetting all about his surroundings. One of the executive dared to look inside the room and read the headline on NDTV, "Modi has asked businesses to ask their employers to spend time cleaning work spaces, streets and neighborhoods
".At lunch time, half of the anti-Modi executives were  seen teasing their Modi supporter colleagues with the 'cleaning' jokes. One of the joke says 'Modi will boom economy by dissolving Municipal Corporation because in his era streets will be cleaned by people themselves so n need of Municipal Corporation cleaners.' No one among them remembered the cause which was of more value than indulging in party politics.
Some dismissed Modi's appeal of cleaning as political drama while others termed it as his strategy of diverting people's attention from the current issues.Although at the root level many people agrees that the cause of unhygienic surrounding lies in their own ignorant acts, but they are not ready to accept it because these issues has been addressed by a political leader. Political leaders are always expected to address the mistakes of the opposition and never to represent genuine interest in public welfare. Even when the leaders shows their interest in welfare activities most of us tends to find the strings attached to their acts. I am not a Modi supporter but I do pay heed to good advises irrespective of their sources, as we are more concerned to search our lost object in the dark without caring about the source of light. People are in habit of looking at one side of things and reaching to conclusions based on that without considering the other aspect just like our ancestors considered earth to be flat only because it seemed to be flat. I agree with the argument that Modi's call encompassed his own interest of publicity of himself but on this basis we cannot neglect the underlying message.Although the reaction of people n Modi's call was mixed the main cause for the need to clean remains genuine.

The ocean is built from the contribution of rivers similarly the heap of garbage that we see around streets is not because of single person. Following the same trend of spreading unhygiene  if we start contributing to clean starting from the personal level then soon we all can make difference. Today because of our ignorant attitude it looks like garbage and filth has become a part of our life. Sight of heap of filth all around the streets has become common like in the image shown below. Today may be the small pile of garbage is surrounding the road but if it continued then soon small area of road will be hard to observe around the garbage at same place.



 Just the small difference in attitude can lead to big changes. Our attitude of self-help will not only lead to better surroundings but will also contribute towards removal of the caste system in the society. The street cleaners in our societies are considered to be of lower caste and are treated with inferiority, but when the people will start cleaning streets by themselves then they will be bound to forget the difference.
Charity begins at home at the small level, so as per Modi the starting step should be of cleaning the workspacce and the surrounding area which will slowly impact the community at large. After this the next step should be of spreading awareness and eradicating the factors leading to various problems like diseases etc by these garbages by campaigns at slums and at rural level.
