Central and State Governments must adopt policy of inclusive development: SIO

by | Feb 11, 2010

The central and state governments must act swiftly to curb the widening injustice in the country demanded Suhail K.K (National President, SIO of India) in a press conference held at New Delhi press club.The shocking reveal made by Suresh Tendulkar report which puts the poverty estimates of India to 37.5%. This would mean that more than one third of the population of India is in poverty. This also reveals the duality of the propaganda of ‘stunning achievements of development’ of India. Despite the increase in GDP, Starvation deaths and farmers suicide are increasing day by day. Globalization has proved itself to be synonym to impoverishment. Wealth of nation is being concentrated to few hands. In a poor country like India, education is suffering from commercialization. Our Government should not treat education as an industry. It is at this particular point of time to create awareness about the dangerous impacts of capitalistic imperialism on individual, society, culture, environment and politics in general and on students and educational system in specific SIO of India has launched a national level campaign with the title ‘Students Voice for a Just World’ said Suhail. After government allowing foreign direct investment (FDI) in key sectors such as telecom, food processing and even retail, our human resource development minister Kapil Sibal is strongly in favor of allowing FDI in India’s education sector. It will lead to huge commercialization of education and a cultural attack on India. All the recent issues including demands of new states, Naxalism are strong indicators of deepening social injustice in our country. SIO National Campaign will be a strong resistance of the student community against social injustice in our country. Capitalistic neo-imperialism and its neo-liberal policies have flooded the media and surroundings with vulgarity and obscenity. In a country where Director General of Police held guilty of molesting a teenage girl or Governor involved in sex racket whose headquarters are the Raj Bhavan itself, SIO believes there is need of socially sensitive student community who can raise their voice against all kind of injustice, Suhail added. SIO General Secretary Abdur Rafiq and National Secretary Shahnawaz Ali Raihan was also present in the Press conference.
