Let me start from the top political leadership of the country to
state. What a young expects from them and what do they do to fulfill
their expectations.
PM Modi didn’t communicate well enough through everything in english but articulated the need of India the way it should be. The language, he spoke, is spoken by more than 1 among 7 people in world. So no need for english to be in everything. He didn’t ask all the top CEOs to donate for development but to invest for India’s infrastructure. He didn’t ask funds for freebies but asked jobs for all the job seekers. That’s why, he is popular in present India and one of the best contemporary CM 2 years back among many other CMs? He tells the world how/what he is, even many of us would feel shy when the family background comes to fore while talking about ourselves in front of someone who is Superior than us. But he didn’t hesitate to tear down by telling his past. The best thing about him, he keeps trying with his best of his wisdom, ability, energy, experiences and emotions to make a Beautiful Bharat. It seems the rest doesn’t show much interest on these fronts but they stay busy in creating their propaganda to be in enthroned always.
I remember the day, I was in 10th class in 2000, when he became the CM of my state. When I completed my MCA it was 2010, he was a CM of 1 decade exp at that time. The young like me had many dreams to be filled with actions, we were looking for the best leaders with young mind, can recognize the potential within us and will be able to fulfill our dreams. Probably he was the best at that time. What happened later?? Where did dream go?? Where is the guy who was dreaming??
Once the great man Dr Kalam sir said that the young should see the dream with open eyes not with sleeping eyes and same time should try to fulfill the dream by actions. To fulfill dreams by actions, we need another ITR, Wheelers island, where there would be enough scope, infrastructure & opportunity for young students. It is highly appreciated and a great tribute to Dr Kalam sir by changing the name of ITR island on his name. But what about the young’s dream, what are the new scope, infrastructure or opportunity for them? When should we be in a position to create more opportunities and how long will it take to do so?
If the Govt doesn’t create enough opportunity and all its young dynamic resources keep moving to other states for their livelihood then there is no point of being in power and same time the state can’t achieve its target growth. We are far away from our target because of this migration policy.
A painful story of many young they need Payslip not Pension, they need Income not Idle, they are forced to move out from their own place without having any suitable options to utilize their skills in their own land to earn enough for their living. They simply don’t move to other state by chance but by options. For Indians, American matters in everything and every time and being so educated probably American does not move out to other countries for their living because America mattes more to them than anything.
I was forced to move outside my beloved state & stay apart from my dear family & dearest one. Not me only, I believe many others like me definitely would have experienced the same feelings that I have. The very day I remember, I was traveling to Bangalore for searching a job in Garib Rath train. I was feeling very sad & bad because I didn’t know that after couple of days I would be a Prabasi Odia who would be staying in Bangalore through out life. Odia being a mother tongue of mine would be no use in life and many of our children’s mother tongue would be Kannada or any other languages and official language would be Hindi or English. Odisha & Odia would be like virtual Facebook or Twitter post. More than half of my salary would b flowing to a different state’s economy. At end you will have two states one Matru Bhumi & one will be Karma Bhumi. Birth was in one state and Death will be in another state. For many of us, this is the most disaster and pathetic moment when we are forced to move outside our state and to be called as Prabasi Odia and so, what I think. Isn’t it true, after 70 Yrs of Independence we are far ways from reality? Aren’t we? Who is responsible for this mess and do they deserve re-chances to rule or ruin ?
I gave one example but there are many that our grand parents and parents have noticed. However history says once Odisha was developed better than any other states but neither my Grand father, farther nor me noticed that prosperity now… Hope a day will come for our children to live in a developed Odisha and feel joy for ever….
