Humanist Proposal for Education, Peace & Progress for all

The following aims (few of the points of the comprehensive Humanist Manifesto) can be achieved, through the Alternative Political Culture (of selfless social work) within a period of 5 years, by diverting approximately 15 to 30% of the armament budget :

• Free & Compulsory Education of equitable quality to all from nursery stage to Class XII, as Fundamental right of all Citizens. Common school system as per 1966 Kothari Commission recommendations;

• Free and quality Health care facilities to all people. Establish AIIMS level of hospitals in all districts of the country within 5 years;

• Minimal basic Housing for all;

• Excellent standard Public transport system for the whole country at affordable rates so that people can travel comfortably without personal vehicles;

• Job for all and a reasonable unemployment pay to those who cannot be given jobs immediately;

• Profit to all Farmers on their produce and Comprehensive Crop-insurance;

• Transportation and Communication to be given to 100% of population with comfort and on affordable rates on no-profit basis by the Government;

• Upper age-limit for all Elected Political posts (President, P.M., Minister, C.M., Mayor, Governor, etc.) to be maximum 70 years;

• No one can occupy an elected political post (President, P.M., Minister, C.M., Mayor, Governor, etc.) more than twice;

• Referendum by people on every major policy before a final decision can be taken;

• Every Elected member will be compulsorily re-confirmed by the voters every 6 months;

• Right to recall elected representatives at all levels. Participation of people to build Real Democracy;

• Transparency : Source of Funding of Campaigns, Candidates, and Parties must be made public.

• 80% population that is below poverty line, will be the top priority of Humanist Government. They will be provided with all basic amenities/living standards of life, as the first priority of the Humanist Government;

• Equal opportunity, Interest-free loans to small enterprise; Encouragement to self-employment and Cooperative small-enterprise to overcome Unemployment problem;

• No industry on Agricultural land, unless agreed and participated by the land-holders. No SEZ. No Big dams. Small environment-friendly hydro-electric dams will be extensively built;

• Unbiased discussion with all arms-using group and separatists tendencies to ensure that all citizens of India will get dignified life immediately, thus bringing them all to mainstream of life and socio-political activity;

• Equal respect for all cultures and religions without making them the point of differences and discrimination;

• No Nuclear arms. Cancellation of 123 agreement. Comprehensive Peace and No-war agreements with all neighboring countries and proportionate disarmament of conventional as well as nuclear arms with a time-frame target. Extensive research and usage of Solar, Wind and Fusion technologies for sourcing energy needs;

• “Clean politics equals corruption-free politics” in all respects. Healthy and Real Democracy has no place for hate politics;

• All Public-interest information will be provided free of cost to people through the websites. RTI process will be made completely transparent, quick and accountable. No information can be kept away from citizens. All public officers (of all/any levels) must declare their assets/income every year;

• Participation of people in actual daily working of the Government will be built and ensured without delay;

• All long pending greviences of people, Government employees and other sections of society will be met through war-footing resolutions to issues by way of actual participation of all involved, without any discrimination and within the parameters of the Humanist society;
  
  

• Ministry of Peace and Non-violence will be established to create the new consciousness of Peace & Non-violence.

This way, we are building the Humanist Manifesto for the country with wide consultation of people. Such a manifesto, becoming the basis of next Government will end the menace of Cast-religion differences, highlighted further by reservations. Reservations will become null & void if education, health and jobs are secured for all, ensuring quality of life and giving them equal opportunities of growth.

POLITICS of the people, by the people, and for the people
