It takes time to understand, but the truth can be harsh sometimes. The truth is, apart from our two national holidays i.e. Independence day and Republic day we have 363 days and on those days too we are the citizens of India. I know, everyone of you must be thinking that 'Yeah, we know it!', but the real thing here is, do you feel it?
So here comes the big question - As citizens of India, are we doing enough for our country? Do we have that pride in ourselves to call ourselves Indians who believe in doing rather than participating in collective whining and whimpering.
In a country with a population of over 1.25 billion there will be problems somewhere or the other. If there is not, then there are people who are in constant search of problems and they find it too as they lack in optimism and action. They will find problem with roads, cleanliness, transport etc. and start complaining about it. In a scenario where a person has met with a road accident, the people in the vicinity are heard complaining and discussing about road safety instead of calling an ambulance or providing first aid to the victim. The things which we do defines us, so why not try our best to do the possible.
These problems are meant to be solved and they will be solved only if we the people take it as an opportunity to serve the nation by taking up the responsibility that we are the creators of New India.Collective action is the need of the hour and of course time is a factor, but where immediate action can't be taken atleast the problem should be reported. The whole world is a tap away today and reporting a problem hardly takes any time. We all have seen that our honorable Railway minister Mr. Suresh Prabhu and EAM Ms. Sushma Swaraj use twitter to help the people in distress. People are even heard today saying that if you are stranded in some galaxy far away, then just tweet and Sushma ji will come to your rescue. A point to be noted that their work is not less than any superhero.
Talking about reporting tools, yes, there are apps and websites which can be accessed via your mobile phones to report various problems. The government of India has also launched emergency helpline numbers to help people in need. Please check below for the important numbers. Soon we will be having a single emergency number 112 in our country which will act as an all in one solution.- Police- 100
- Ambulance-102/108
- Fire-101
- Women Helpline- 181
- National highway emergency- 1033
- Rail Emergency- 182
- Rail Complain- 138
- Women & Child Helpline- 1091(Women)/1098(Children)
So next time when you come across a problem, knowingly or unknowingly, make sure that you act on it. The honorable Prime Minister of India has started working for the New India. So do not fall back, its time we all work together for our nation. Its upto you if you believe it or not but there is nothing greater than the happiness you feel after doing something for the country. India is a great country with young blood. If we all work together then anything is possible but first, get up and be the change!
