WANTED: A Media for the People, by the People, from the People
It’s been ages that a mass democratic country like is India is rules by a handful of politicians. Who in turn continue to ignore the same people who voted them to the Parliament . These people in turn not only makes strategies to run the country but the businesses and media as well. Those who don’t comply with it had their due as in case of media people harassed in Maharashtra and Bihar. Does that mean the truth may always be hidden and barred from coming out in the open ? or is that we lack a control of a stronger power ? Where will this stronger power come from… who can change the scenario .
The answers to all these questions lies in “YOU” … you representing the people… the citizen. You, who put power in hand of a handful of people by the means of your votes,. You, who is ranked second among the world population. You Can… Change it.
When I mean change I don’t mean an agitation or a revolution. I mean change within you. A few small effort from each citizen of this country will not only make their current situation better but lead to nation building as well. A few small steps can lead to big rewards in the end.
The first step is to EDUCATE. Educate yourself in terms of you’re your rights. There are many policies by the government which are for the benefit of every section, but due to the ignorance of people these benefits falls into the hands of those who are known to it. There are healthcare programmes like Janani Suraksha Yojna, Mamta, BPL cards, Health Insurance benefits for the rural people, education programmes like Ladli, Sarv Siksha Abhiyaan, Employment programme as national rural employment guarantee act etc which are for the benefit of people from all sectors of rural and urban India. It is not only required that you know about these facilities but also to popularise about them so the maximum people benefit from them. Education also means spreading the literacy among people. Times group has also taken a step forward in this field by launching the TEACH INDIA programme.
The second step is to BENEFIT from these programmes. The awareness is here translated to action and wherever and whenever you need help, the way is to reach out and ask for you rights. Whenever the topic of asking the rights from the government comes into being the so called middlemen comes in the picture and the beneficiary is debarred from his / her rights. Here comes in the need for awaken and powerful media.
The next and third step is to REPORT. Report to government where ever you find negligence, malfunctioning, corruption and wherever people are prevented from getting their rightful. Reporting frightens people as they have to deal to so called the rulers of the society and thereby bear their vengeance. I am not advising you to be a leader but rather be reporter.., like the media. Every policy and ministry has a website where you can report such things. Also, you can report the same to a media channel as well so they could bring a the whole picture into light. This way not only you will benefit but the others unlike you could also be able to benefit from a contributory effort taken by government to reach to people at grass-root level. If all of us just follow this practice then definitely the money invested by us in the form of taxes will be for benefiting us and would reach to the destined place then being in the middlemen’s hands. So..why don’t we be a media for us, by us from us.
