Should Govt of India take some lesson on tackling naxalism from Mr. Modi?

Question

Dang, a Gujarat district, has emerged as a model for beating back Maoism through responsive administration and imaginative public schemes. With the support of the administration, the local administration has countered Naxalism by effectively taking to the impoverished people the fruits of development and keeping them engaged in a steady dialogue with the Government, thus appealing to their sensitivity and teaching them the ways of progress.


Says Baiju Mali, 54, sarpanch of Kosimda village where Naxalites had penetrated deep in the 1990s, "Our village, which was once very poor and ill-equipped, has changed in the past decade with development reaching deep amongst the people." Pointing to the growth of the Naxalite movement in Dang, Somabhai Tunda, 43, sarpanch of nearby Bhenskatri village, adds, "Outsiders turned locals against the state, capitalising on their poverty and instigating them to grab forest land. But good governance has turned the situation around. Tribal welfare schemes are not just on paper here and the administration is much more responsive."

Today, the dairy centre at Kosimda collects a litre of milk each from 150 families of the village and sends it to the Sumul dairy in Surat, providing income to the villagers. It also has 17 borewells, 35 open wells and a school up to Class VII with computers. Outmigration from the village in search of jobs has come down substantially. The villagers used to grow only millets, but now have flowing fields of pulses. A small reservoir caters to the crop. Not just Kosimda, almost all 311 villages in Dang have 24-hour power. Over 700 check dams in the district ensure water for the district. Till the mid-'90s, the dairy industry was almost unknown in Dang, where the cattle quality is poor. Today, it collects 30,000 litres of milk a day. At Rs 15 a litre, sales translate into Rs 4.5 lakh per day.

Says Bachubhai Gavit, 36, who heads Kosimda's eco-development committee and the local milk cooperative, "Earlier there were many in the village who used to subsist on wild roots. Today no one goes to bed without two square meals a day."

The schemes introduced by the state Government aim at the poor tribal population. Every tribal is allowed to cut a specific number of teak trees at regular intervals from the lot owned by him. The Forest Department stands as a guarantor for tribals seeking advance loans against their trees. The Joint Forest Management Committee of Vaghai village runs a canteen for tourists, employing locals. It also backs them in four-tier plantation of wood, fruits, flowers, tubers and roots which they can sell and keep the profits.

Says Arjun Gavit, a measurement supervisor at the forest depot at Vaghai, "The situation in Dang is 10 times better than it was in the '90s where we lived a wretched existence due to lack of employment and income." One of the most powerful bridges today between the Government and the Dang tribals is the Lok Darbar (people's court), where officials meet villagers to address their problems.

Though Dang still figures on the Maoist radar, it has been the collective determination of the locals and government officials that has led the tribals out from the shadows of abject poverty and backwardness and into prosperity. Butter does beat guns in the battleground of development.

Answer 1

NO.The Government of India should immediately make him the Chief Minister of all the naxal-infested

states and request him to handle the situation in his own inimitable style.Even the mere announcement of his appointment would make the naxals disband.Have a Nice Day.

In my books,after Sardar Patel,Modi is the only man in India who is worthy of the title of Iron Man 2.

Answer 2

opposite, it the Congress occasion alongside with its leftists, marxists and communists that have performed each and everything of their power to maintain India on the hours of darkness a while. human beings blame him for the Gujarat bloodbath, ask your self how did the bloodbath start up??? WHO began the bloodbath??? Had a bus in saudi arabia packed with muslims been burned via hindus, take a good wager as to what might have occurred to each hindu residing in saudi arabia. human beings such as you % Hindus to maintain on being little cowards. while we combat back, a techniques from helping us, you drag us down on your point. i'm no longer condoning the killing of innocents, be they muslim or the different faith. yet often times there is basically lots that a civilisation can take. Hindus have been on the receiving end of muslim aggression for 13 centuries. For the 1st time they actually fought hearth with hearth and you hate us because of the fact of that. you're forgetting that the biggest genocide ever grew to become into that which Islam dedicated against Hinduism. no longer any opposite direction around. Why is Modi a admired-day Hitler??? basically because of the fact he's truthful and needs to maintain Hinduism from Islam??? nicely if so i'm happy with him. you're saying that he's modern-day Hitler, I say that he's modern-day shiva ji. GOD BLESS NARENDAR MODI, INDIA needs greater adult men LIKE HIM!!!!

Answer 3

Well why only tackling naxalism, other state Govt's should take a lesson from him on Good Governance too. Check out the growth rate of Gujarat.

Answer 4

yes Government of India need to take many lessons from Mr.Modi including the one you mentioned. they also need to take lessons in developing Fast Track Courts and thus there won't be Ruchika's or any other person who are victim of slow judgment. They also need to initiate schemes as Jyotigram so that 90% people of India can have electricity just as Gujarat today has it's 90% people electricity. Government of India must also learn from Gujarat to pass technologies like Broadband to villages. Government of India must also learn from Gujarat how to build infrastructure and learn a lesson from Gujarat that Infrastructure acts as magnet of investment.

Answer 5

it shows that the person who leads is more important than the party.modi is very efficient and hence his govt has succeded .raman kumar is still struggling with the naxals.reddy also got nallanalla cleared of naxals but there is no developmental work worth mentioning.and its against cong policy to eradicate poverty as then where will rahul baba go for his nautankis
