Bharatiya Janata Party President Nitin Gadkari has set up a Study Group to prepare a vision document namely “India Vision 2025”. This vision document, the first of its type being prepared by a national political party; aims at putting forth the contours of BJP’s vision of national development with all its dimensions. From Agriculture to Infrastructure and Tribal Development to Energy it will focus mainly on over 50 subjects covering all major areas of national development.
The study group set up for the preparation of this Vision Document will be headed by Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar as its convener. Party’s national executive member and industrialist Rajesh Shah will be its joint convener. BJP plans to involve and elicit inputs from researchers, experts and others even beyond the party fold.
The first meeting of this study group was held in the capital on July 24 in which besides Party President Nitin Gadkari, General Secretary Jagat Prakash Nadda, Treasurer Piyush Goyal, besides Rajeev Chnadrashekhar and Rajesh Shah participated. Also present were party functionaries like National Executive Member Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, Journalist Kanchan Gupta, IT Professional Rajesh Jain and experts like M P Kumar, Neelesh Kulkarni and K V Raju etc. In the meeting CII’s Hari Bhartiya also made a brief presentation and shared his organisation’s vision.
This vision document will cover all areas of governance and public policy. To start with, this group will initially focus upon Urban Affairs, Energy and Water Resources. Besides, over 50 subjects viz. transport, rural development, information technology, telecommunication, irrigation, water transport and river connectivity, forest management, mining, industry, trade and commerce, textiles, fisheries and aqua culture, aviation, disaster management, law and judiciary, education, sports, and culture and many more such issues will be covered under this ambitious project.
BJP plans to take make this Vision Document a movement that will provide a forum to the people with innovative ideas and concepts for grass root development. It may be noted that earlier, before the last assembly elections in Maharashtra (2009) too BJP had prepared a Maharashtra Vision Document. Besides, BJP’s Karnataka government too has prepared a comprehensive Vision Document about two years before.
A portal will also be launched for this purpose in due course. BJP has extended an earnest appeal to all those who desire to participate in this project.
