Dear Countrymen,
Greetings from Merinews!

Today as India spreads its wings to set foot on the new global economic center stage and prepares to join the club of developed nations, the historical references have changed. It has transformed from the land of snake charmers to a country with high intellect, professional prowess and is an emerging superpower.

At this critical juncture in our history, it is apt that we undertake a reality check of the ground situation in our country. Here are some of the issues, which demand our attention

It’s time we considered where we are and where we should be, both as a society and as a nation. In doing so, the foremost need is to identify the fundamental issues and problems that we face without any visible solution or an action- plan to address them.

Instead of blaming the system, the population, the politicians, the Constitution and other factors that restrict our progress shouldn’t we, the citizens, dream big for our country and work towards making this dream come true? It’s time that citizens of India came forward to identify the challenges ahead, line up solutions to tackle them and then charge forward towards making that very critical difference by creating the blueprint for the next 60 years of India’s growth.

Towards this goal, Team merinews has taken up the challenge to create the “Citizens’ Manifesto - a people defined roadmap of India till 2067.”

We call upon every Indian to come forward and join this initiative. Your fire of patriotism and the passion to realise a dream for yourself, your society and in turn your country is what is needed to make this happen. You can submit your suggestions, thoughts, views, ideas, issues and their solutions.

Let’s come together to give shape to our future.

With best regards,
