    To meet the need of one billion people and alleviate poverty and illiteracy, we have the second vision of transforming India into a developed nation by the year 2020. We have identified five areas where India has a core competence for integrated action: (1) Agriculture and food processing (2) Reliable and quality electric power and surface transport for all parts of the country. (3) Education and Healthcare (4) Information and Communication Technology and (5) Strategic sectors. These five areas are closely inter-related and if well done would lead to national, food and economic security. Also a rural development programme called PURA (Providing Urban amenities in Rural Areas) envisages for proving physical connectivity, electronic connectivity, and knowledge connectivity thereby economic connectivity. PURA enterprises will generate number of entrepreneurs who will become employment providers instead of employment seekers.
