If this harmony is destroyed, the foundation of India is sure to collapse.Preserving unity among so a type Ale deal diversities is indeed, a difficult task . Especially , when we consider the influx of selfish, individualist approach in our societies. The nation is built up on the cherish system of its people. The problems we have now communalism, regionalism, growing violence, separatism are all directly or indirectly refl ection of erosion of our basal foster system. Re building this should start from each one of us , from our families, from our homes. It volition then spread to the societies that we live in and allow for eventually concord on strengthening the nation. Ironically we all keep on wailing about the pathetic situation of India without doing anything constructive to resolve it.Next millennium will experience unimaginable technological advancement. Nations all over the world are striving hard to keep gait with this. In India we face a Herculean task to prepare ourselves to meet this challenge . The basic ingradients required are proper education for all our citizens & adenylic acid opportunities to flourish. bringing up should not be just for the sake of degrees or diplomas.

We ne ed to produce simple mechanisms so that the practice of using natural energy sources will reach super acid man.Our present political system has lost its credibility. Rampant corruption & misuse of power has created an ugly image of politics among the junior generation and they prefer to totally detach from politics. This is not a desirable tendency for the future of the nation. We need talents in future politics of our country. It is a great challenge to cleanse politics off corruption and restructure it for the next millennium.We have already crossed 1 billion mark of our population. This rate of harvest-time of our population poses great challenge for the next millennium where resources will be scarce. We need to enhance our efforts considerably to control this explosive growth of population.The easiest way to destroy a country is , perhaps, to destroy its culture. With the advancement of ken media , the erosion of our cultural heritage is also speeded up. Many western coun tries, afterward realising the evils of the so called modern free society are slowly going congest to their original cultural ethics. Where as , we in India , are on the bound of breaking it. In the next millennium, as world gets smaller & smaller through media, it is a great challenge to preserve our cultural ethics.There are no easy solutions to any of these challenges we have to face.
