Partition-A challenge to the Nation

It happened years ago when India faced partition be it with Pakistan or within Andhra Pradesh(making of Telangana). These involved change of boundaries and beliefs but moving ahead we all adapted to them and welcomed new beginnings.

Our Independent Nation was believed to be achieving great heights in the coming years of Independence. The hopes were high and so was the joy and enthusiasm among the citizens. They dreamt of a nation where everyone would be his own master; where they will earn their living their own way and where, there would be innumerable possibilities for growth and development. Of course, the excitement was over their mind and the feeling of freedom was another level of peace and serenity. But, did that happened likewise ? Yes we have come far enough and are still moving ahead. Our past position and present scenario are way different in terms of growth which we have had been able to achieve through years of struggle as a nation. Being labelled as a developing country shows the mark we have reached through collective efforts in the areas of infrastructure, economy and livelihood. The focus is now on sustainable development which aims at development at a pace which does not harm the future goals or requirements of the future generations. This appears a fantastic model but the present needs too need attention to the same level now.

The increasing rate of unemployment, poverty and discrimination are amongst the major issues need to be resolved in order to build a strong force serving the nation at its best.

Each human is a resource and can be utilised in a way that contributes not only to the growth of the nation but the world as a whole. There is a lot that is still unexplored or which requires actions to be taken globally. Individual growth is complimentary to this.

Employment opportunities need to be developed creatively. It simply implies there are already many opportunities, what lacks is creativity and innovation. Though we are constantly innovating ideas but they are technology oriented and not human focused. Innovation is required so that there are ample opportunities for all of us to explore and learn. Technology makes us sick when it is used to make even basic tasks of our life, automatic. Hard work should always be encouraged. Technology feels good when it is used to make complex things simple. The boundaries we see between the rich and the poor, the educated and the illiterate, the working and the unemployed, the women and the men; all these make up for the partition India is facing.

As it is said a lot, “rich are becoming richer, poor are getting poorer”, similarly, the distances are widening between the other above stated partitions as well. The discrimination on the basis of colour, caste, religion, region, gender, etc. are parting the country as we go on. It seems they are left behind on the journey towards development. Still there are many places where women are treated lower to men, having no freedom to live their own way. The ‘minority groups’ still don’t have their rights as a citizen. The “untouchables” continue to be unacceptable and what to say about discrimination faced by the transgender. It is not always the government to blame upon. In fact they launch various schemes to help and support all the classes and sections of the society. The dust remains in the mind of the people who are not ready to accept everyone as their equals, the ones who believe in superiority of one over the other even after living in a democratic country. It may also happen due to the past relations. “What we learn being grown up is what we follow”, this can be a reason why people have a fixed mindset which is hard to change. But as we keep moving there arises a need to take up all, together. The nation is one as a whole and these partition need to be erased for the sake of all. There are more issues that need attention by us, therefore the previous ones need to be sorted to focus on the upcoming. If we can bring the whole nation together, not only by words but behaviour as well, we would soon be able to solve our global matters of concern as well; which include pollution, over-population, ozone layer depletion, water management, etc.

SWOT Analysis

SWOT is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. SWOT Analysis is a planning and brainstorming tool for analyzing a person’s or an organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and strengths. It considers the internal factors and the external factors that can positively or negatively affect our ability to achieve our goals. It also helps us to focus on the strengths, minimize the threats and make use of the opportunities to the fullest. It is a much-needed one to develop plans for future growth.

S – STRENGTHS

Strengths describe what an organization or a person excels at. They are internal, positive attributes of a person or a company. These attributes could be handled by oneself and kept within one’s control.

W – WEAKNESSES

Weaknesses stop an organization or a person from giving their best at its optimum level. They are negative factors that detract from your strengths. These are things that one might need to improve on to be competitive.

O – OPPORTUNITIES

Opportunities are openings or chances that help one for something positive to happen. They are external factors in your business environment or career that are likely to contribute to your success.

T – THREATS

Threats are anything that can negatively affect your business or career from the outside. They are external factors that you have no control over. You may want to consider having a plan B for dealing with them if they occur.

EXAMPLE SWOT OF A POPULAR PERSONALITY 

I would like to explain SWOT analysis more clearly by citing the SWOT of a famous personality. It will become easier to analyse the self SWOT if we read a few real-life examples. So, here is one such example – the SWOT of Mr. Ritesh Agarwal, Founder, and CEO of OYO. He is a great inspiration for many, especially for the younger generation. Being a college dropout, this young entrepreneur never fails to motivate the youth through his untiring attitude. Below are a few of his strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that he analysed as he emerged as a budding entrepreneur.

STRENGTHS

  • He had big dreams of starting a business since childhood as he was not interested to take over the family business or work as an employer of any company.
  • He had a great interest in Computer Programming and developed the efficiency of creating a web application by himself.
  • He had the perseverance of doing what he dreamt of despite not having family support.
  • Self-efficacy – He believed in himself and his capabilities more than anything.
  • Being committed and passionate about work.

WEAKNESSES

  • He had no confidence in his studies.
  • Lack of innovation for improving the growth.
  • Concentrating on space rather than improvising the brand.
  • Lack of conceptual clarity.
  • Over hiring of employers.

OPPORTUNITIES

  • His young age and popularity gained him attention and opportunities.
  • His unique approach that gained him success.
  • Growing demand and no international competitors at that time.
  • His idea of providing budget accommodation to people.

THREATS

  • Convincing Venture Capitalists to start the initial investments.
  • He kept the parent company at stake which he might have lost in case of failures.
  • Growing concerns about safe stay at OYO rooms and hotels especially, for the women.
  • Increasing competition in the flouring market.

Whatever may be the strengths and weaknesses, the ability to convert the threats to opportunities determines the real strength of a person. 

SUMMARY

  • Take advantage of the Opportunities through its Strengths.
  • Stay strong against the Threats through its Strengths.
  • Improve Weaknesses by taking advantage of Opportunities.
  • Work to eliminate Weaknesses to avoid Threats.
