program since Independence.
Our Government launched some of the biggest-ever social
development initiatives in the world. These include the Antyodaya Anna
Yojana and the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. The coverage of the Integrated
Child Development Scheme (ICDS), which is the world's largest early
childcare program, was greatly expanded. Major initiatives, such as
establishment of a separate ministry for tribal affairs, were taken to
promote the cause of social justice.
We now seek a renewed term to carry forward our agenda. Responding
to the aspirations and expectations of the people, the NDA has made
"Development", "Good Governance", and "Peace", as the main issues
for Election 2004. Our commitment to these issues is further affirmed
in this Manifesto.
India is prosperous, and developing. Millions of Indians have got
employment, bought houses, use cell phones, and are getting better
education for their children. Yet, millions more still await their chance
of benefiting from and contributing to the Great Indian Dream. Inspired
by Mahatma Gandhi's advocacy of "Antyodaya", the NDA Government
is committed to reaching the fruits of development to all; for we
believe that the deprived and the denied have the first call on the
resources and the attention of the Indian State.
Our vision
India as a Developed Nation
Our Goal:
8 to 10% GDP growth rate on a sustainable basis over the next five
years, with eradication of poverty by 2015. Clear five-yearly milestones
for economic growth and social development will be set for each State
and district
Our Guiding Principle:
Faster growth with employment, equity, social justice, reduction in
regional imbalances, and the urban-rural divide
The NDA believes that GDP growth, at an annual rate of 8 to 10% on a
sustainable basis, is achievable. This will realize our strategic vision of
making India a Developed Nation. We have full faith in the capacity of
our hardworking kisans and workers, enterprising businessmen and
traders, innovative managers, professionals, talented scientists, and
dedicated administrators to achieve this goal.
The NDA is committed to making India an economic superpower
through a seven-pronged strategy of:
1) India as the food factory of the world.
2) India as the global manufacturing hub.
3) India as the service provider to the world.
4) India as the centre of the knowledge economy.
