Jharkhand will progress

It was the same reference once again. In IIT Chennai, the leader told the students that if IIT graduates or such young talents decide to work in India rather than going abroad for the next 25 years, then perhaps the annual economic growth rate can increase to 10.5%. 

Along with this, if there is peace and tranquility in the border disputes with China and Pakistan, then the country can achieve an annual growth rate of 11.5% by increasing by another one percent. To achieve 13.5% annual growth by 2047, India must become an economic superpower, fulfilling Vivekananda's dream. But how can we achieve this?

The first simple answer is, the changing times must be understood by the youth and the common citizens in a special way. The ability to keep pace with the times must be developed. If this ability is developed, then the courage to move with the times or ahead of them will be born. Today, how many politicians understand AI or are making an honest effort to understand it?

There are approximately 4000 members in the country's legislature (Parliament + State Assemblies). Most of them are masters, knowledgeable, skilled, or social experts in traditional Indian politics. But their expertise or efficiency lies in how to win elections by dividing people or society using weapons like caste, sub-caste, region, insider-outsider, religion, culture, etc. They are brilliant and efficient in this work. 

Similarly, the regional parties of the states are also in the same state. In many places, these parties function like family-owned private limited companies. Now, this population is unable to work with AI. They do not understand the speed at which technology is changing the world.

AI is a global technological system, a great opportunity. It has huge risks. It is a blessing, but also a curse. New youth who understand its proper use should come into politics in large numbers. The public and voters should understand this change in the world. These skilled youth should take on the responsibility of guiding the people, who understand the grammar and mathematics of the changing world. This election in Jharkhand is an opportunity to change destiny and shape the future on this criterion. Such determined and visionary youth should join politics and inspire society for good politics.

Then, despite all the challenges, it is possible to make Jharkhand at par with developed states in a short period of time.
