A nation with a magnificent past, India is notable on the world map today as the largest and most vibrant democracy, and a nation experiencing rapid economic development. India is sought-after for her cultural and spiritual depth, geographic and cultural diversity from snow-dusted mountains to sun-washed beaches, tranquil temples to feisty festivals, lantern-lit villages to software-supremo cities
, it's hardly surprising that this country has been dubbed the world's most multidimensional. In spite of this,
• India today is said to be the suicide capital of the world. The study done by Lancet shows that India contributed to 1, 87,000 deaths out of the total 9, 00,000 suicide deaths across the world in the year 2010.
• The youth of our country lack the strength to face challenging situations in life. In a country where 75% of the population is below 31 years of age, the youth are failing to get a strong foothold in finding their self worth and are unable to put skill into action due to their inability of going into details.
• 23% of senior citizens do not live with their children* in our country. Lack of quality time spent amongst family members, rapid increase in divorce rates are all contributors to the dwindling of family system in the country.
• Our civic sense seems to lack sensitivity to environmental conditions prevailing in our own country. Litter and effluence spill and fill our roads and waterways. Our traffic sense is unique only to our nation. So much so it drives fear into any visitor. The questions can go on.
• A cause is needed to help Indians converge and fight together as a nation. Rare ones emerge on whose call the country comes together for a cause. THE THREE PHASED PROJECT:
