PURA concept for super power India

"India lives in villages"

According to father of our nation Mahatma Gandhi,the soul of our nation rests in villages and their development itself means the country's development, Thus vision was about the concept of Panchayat Raj system or the system of  local self government. Even though we practise the system of Panchayat Raj for the past decades we still have more milestones to achieve which are highly specific in character and its behaviour changes from place to place. Hence for a vast country like India it is difficult to launch  policy's in common for all and that will surely end up in a big failure.

Actually PURA (Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas) is just an enlightened concept from Mahatma's ideas which has current advantage. The thought was revived by A.P.J Abdul Kalam (The former President,Scientist and the Missile Man of India) and P.V. Indereshan (Former director I.I.T. Madras), nowadays the urban areas are under pressure because rural population migrate from their native unhealthy surroundings to urban areas for jobs and comforts. When these amenities are available around their area,many wouldn't want to leave their villages. 

So PURA aims in providing those basic requirements for the villagers which are available only in urban areas. It aims in providing physical,social,economical development of Indian villages. It also reduces the pressure in the urban areas & will achieve the Gandhi's dream of self sustained villages. There are many places where PURA concept is still working on..We have some regions of Madhya pradesh , where couples are hired and trained for health,education and community development, similar efforts were reported in Maharashtra and in some rural parts of Northern India. kalam's new book likely to be a guide for those who can start new PURA project.The idea is so impressive so that development will be highly specific and it produce a very rapid change in Indian villages. This thoughts are really going to guide our country to a super power.

The country atleast needs 7000 PURA's .The Indian government is starting its PURA projects in nine states and it will be mentioned in the XII th five year plan. This same idea has a global concern and it can be implemented across the world.
