Do we have good parks, sports grounds,libraries for our kids? It pains when you see the lack of infrastructure is really hurting our kids development. We have a wrong perception in India that kids' development means only education. Even if parents want to encourage their kids in sports or in any other extra-curricular activities, there is no way they can do that due to total lack of infrastructure.
I strongly feel Sports grounds and Libraries play a significant role in shaping the future of our kids. They have direct bearing on the personality of kids.
Government has to take some immediate steps to develop this. Again I reckon injecting some degree of capitalism here to have a win-win situation for all the players means government,people, and participating agencies.
This is what I recommend for Libraries:
1. Government enter into partnerships with leading industrial houses, and publishing houses to set up one big central library in every city, and town.
2. Government has controlling stake in the Library ownership.
3. Books are supplied by the Publishing houses.
4. Leading industrial houses play other roles like day to day administration and contribution to building development etc.
5. Set up smaller outlets in all the major centers of the city to have access to people in all corners of the city.
6. Charge nominally for subscription from the people.
7. Also set up web site for people to look at catalogues etc.
What do you think?
