                        A Thought for Today…

           “So long as the millions live
           in hunger and ignorance, I
           hold every man a traitor, who
           having been educated at
           their expense, pays not the
           least heed to them”

      The lost decade…
            If India’s economic reforms would have
            started a decade earlier…
                  14.5 million more children would have
                  survived
                  261 million more Indians would have become
                  literate
                  109 million more people would have risen
                  above the poverty line
