India, population is more, country has vast land, great potential with natural resources, weather conditions. People can work hard, if the Govt. has good policies to make people work. Failures of rains, drought, be there and is part of nature. We have to take example of the countries living better. One of the reasons for food shortage in India and raising prices is the vast land is not put to use. Trees and plants are to be developed in all barn land. This leads to good rains and the soil can be usable for cultivation. Govt. has no policy what is the requirement of food for the Indian population. Pulses, rice, wheat can be produced utilizing the land, man power etc. Simply the Govt. blame failure of monsoon or floods, for food shortage. It is not correct. Real reason is even after 61 years of independence Govt. do not know what is the need for the people and responsibilities of the Govt. Our food and agrl. minister, young at 79 wants to be in the cricket field, in addition to be a minister in what ever party is in ruling in center. If any issue like food etc. comes he says it is not his exclusive responsibility, and PM also has got the responsibility. People have to believe and satisfy.
