Peace and prosperity are my hopes for our great country. India will be a great country when every citizen follows the rule of law, supports the nation with their families, and does something to make India a better place. Everyone has dreams to make his/her country big and democratically successful.  I suppose that each of us has dreamt about some version of India. India is a country where people of all cultures and religions coexist together.

We may dream about anything at any time, and as Indian citizens, we are continuously

looking for methods to improve our country and see a better India. Like others, I also have a dream for my India and the way it should be, so I can be proud to live and the coming generation too. A country where there is no discrimination of caste, colour, gender, and economic status, sees development in a true sense. People in such countries also progress well in all senses. The India of my dream would be a country where women are safe and walk freely on road, that is entirely self-sufficient in all areas, technologically advanced, agriculturally advanced as well as scientifically better. Every barren land in the country, which has not witnessed crop in ages, would be cultivated for achieving food grains. I am proud of my country, where agriculture is the backbone of the country and helps the country to GDP ahead. I am proud that I live in a country with so rich soil containing suitable minerals that help in agriculture and promote farming. The best thing that happened was the Green Revolution, offering intensive agricultural programs for farmers by the government. Also, it will be a place where there is freedom of equality for all and everyone can enjoy it in their true sense. Furthermore, it would be a place where there is no discrimination of caste, colour, gender, creed, social or economic status, and race. In addition, I see it as a place that sees an abundance of development and growth.

When we collectively look into everything, we will be able to identify the causes and solutions to all the problems. Building a great nation and resolving its deep-rooted problems is an attainable goal. India must have a law that is just and effective in order to become a Great Country, a Society of Peace, with equality of opportunity for everyone, uncorrupted systems, unbiased educational system. When these things become a reality, the entire country will take notice, and everyone will have the opportunity to enjoy a healthy and prosperous life. That is why we must all work together to bring about change in our country and contribute to improving people’s lives. Every person must work with their family and society, as well as support our government, which is also doing its bit by providing adequate education, transportation, food for everybody, and employment opportunities to all segments of society. Technological Advancement would like to see India become more sophisticated scientifically, technologically, and agriculturally. I would like to bring India to the pinnacle of scientific and technical advancement. Because the present age is the age of science and information technology, Scientific and technological developments. Since they are a critical stepping stone in the development of a country. I want to see an India where rationality and scientific ideas triumph over blind faith and bigotry.

Women’s Empowerment is the most desirable dream of women. My biggest dream is to see women’s empowerment in all areas. I am happy to see women are becoming independent and can take up family responsibilities. I dream of India as a country that sees women as its assets, not as liabilities. Also, I want to place women on an equal level as men. But in the reality, there is a lot of discrimination against women. In rural areas of India, there are still many cases of women feticide and physical attack, endangering a woman’s life. The patriarchy is still in existence in many places in India and that needs to be taken into consideration. Many things need to work for women’s empowerment, such as stopping female feticide, promoting safety and equality in the organisation, etc. There are a lot of areas that need to be worked upon whether it is female feticide or restricting them to the household task. Then also, the women are stepping out of their houses. They are making a mark in different fields and on society. Society should normalize things for women that men have done for decades. Various types of reservations are also provided in education or jobs to uplift women and encourage better participation. Besides, many NGOs and social groups have come forward to promote women’s empowerment. Thankfully, the Indian government, along with NGOs and social groups, are working towards the safety and empowerment of women in India. I want women in my country to be free from social stigma and live independent lives.

However, education is the basic need of everyone as well as the most powerful weapon in the world. The India of my dream will be a place where education will be mandatory for all. I wish there were no uneducated people in India of my dreams. I would like to see India implement a system of education that allows every individual to earn a living. In my dream India, I would like the people of my country to appreciate the value of education and to encourage their children to pursue school rather than working in menial professions at a young age. Though there are many initiatives by the government to promote education. But there are many people who do not realize its true importance. We have to work hard to change the mindset of society.

Employment Opportunities are the task on which the government is working to provide every deserver. There are many educated people in India. The India of my dream should be where every individual should get employment opportunities. The Indian of My dream will be a place where the deserving candidate will get the job first rather than reserved candidates. People must have a decent job that offers good pay, which will help in fulfilling their dreams. Due to corruption and many other reasons, they are unable to get a decent job. Besides, there are many employment opportunities in the country but they are either limited or don’t pay well enough. One of the reasons for this is weak industrial growth in the country. Unfortunately, many young people with great talent are unable to find the right job due to corruption, quota, and reference. Reservation has been the major hindrance in the path of growth of deserving candidates. Many of the young experts end up shifting abroad for job opportunities, helping the growth of the GDP of the respective country. India of My dream is a place where the deserving candidate must get a job. A country where young experts get a proper job will certainly witness profitable growth in GDP. In addition, reservation is a hindrance in this path as most of the deserving candidates lose their good opportunities because of it. Many of these deserving candidates go abroad and work for the economic growth of other countries.

Caste discrimination needs to be changed. Though India got independence in 1947, still we are not able to get complete independence from caste, religion, and creed discrimination. It is shameful to see how in certain parts of the country the people of the lower section of the society are denied basic rights. However, there are various social groups that speak for their rights and help them to oppose this oppression. I dream of an India where there is no discrimination of any kind.

In many villages of the country, some people still face caste discrimination issues. It is certainly shameful to see how people are denied their rights due to the caste issue. Thankfully, certain social groups work hard to bring down caste discrimination and give equal opportunities to people. Reservation is also a major factor in promoting caste discrimination. The deserving candidate, be it of any caste, has to suffer more, and the non-deserving ones, be it of any caste, get admission easily into top-notch colleges of India. Students shift abroad for their higher studies or their jobs. They think that the education system of India is not up to the mark and the employment industry is also not very welcoming to keep the students in their company.

India should be corrupt-free, which will help in the growth of the nation. Corruption is one of the major reasons that are hindering the growth of the nation. I dream of a country where people perform a task without taking any bribes. I dream of an India where the minister and officials are dedicated to their work and wholly to the development of the country. My hope for India is that deserving applicants, not reserved candidates, receive the correct jobs. I would also like to see India become a place where the government’s primary focus is on the benefit of the country. The India of my dream will be an ideal country where every citizen will be equal. Also, there is no discrimination of any type. It will be a place where women are seen as equals to men and respected equally. Instead of making an effort to serve the growth of the country the officials and politicians are busy filling their own pockets. A big number of well-educated persons appear to be unemployed as a result of politicians’ severe corruption and harshness. Because of the reservation system, the majority of deserving individuals have been denied the opportunity. One of the reasons the country, even after all these years, is not able to develop is because of the corruption practiced by people. No matter how big or small the work is, you need to give the money to get it done.

India of my dream is difficult to achieve because there are many social, religious, and political problems. Only after getting rid of them, we can think about the India of my dream. As corruption is not only a hindrance in the path of development in India but there are many other hindrances in the path. It is true that corruption is the major hindrance but we have to overcome them as possible we can make it.

Gender Discrimination and Inequality have been stopped now. In my dream country, everyone should be treated equally and have the right to care. It would be a location where the safety of women would be of first importance. My ideal India will be one in which women are protected in all circumstances, good or bad. There will be no more torture, domestic violence, or male dominance over women. Women will be able to pursue their dreams with greater freedom. It’s terrible to see how, despite showing themselves in every aspect of life, women are still regarded as inferior to males.

Medical Support makes the country powerful and strong from the inside. Not for profit, but for the sake of service. People in my ideal country would be born healthy, hopeful, and happy, and they would live happily ever after. The sole goal of the medical profession shall be to protect people free from discomfort and sickness, with proper regard and respect for age and with all due consideration for the health of all the best medical facilities available. The elderly would be properly cared for, and life would appear to be worth living for as long as they lived.

Good Infrastructure and Sanitation are compulsory for every citizen. Adequate sanitation is very important, it helps people in the village, especially women, to avoid going to open places and face health issues. There are many villages, which lack poor sanitation and infrastructure. Then I want the coming generation to have a better life and get everything they deserve for living in this country. I want my country to be politically sound and unbiased, and the democracy of my country to be the strongest and most successful.

Corruption should be eliminated from every aspect of our lives. Taxes should be practically and judicially imposed, the difference between rich and poor should be eliminated, and there should not be any kind of inequalities. Every citizen should work and act accordingly so that our future generation will be proud of the nation they are born in, and the other countries of the world will take inspiration from India. This dream nation should be the dream of every citizen living here, and then only the desired result will be seen.
