If the world today was to be given another name, it would be just appropriate to call it “accessible”. What do we not have on our computer screen in one click today? Information and the technology associated, together has reduced the entire globe to one click. The sole significant obstacle in the journey towards cent percent digitalization, today, is knowledge. Knowledge to operate prevalent technology. With immense pride, it can be stated that we have begun to overcome this path break also, remarkably. Remote areas or even villages have phone signals and in turn phones have up to 4G speed internet even in hollow spaces. Not only are these facilities available, but are also being put to personal and professional work. It’s not surprising to know about groups in villages and small towns utilizing digital aid to boost their businesses (across all scales). 

Where is the loophole then? In the fast paced goal oriented lives lead almost everywhere today, we, as human resources have become mechanical in various aspects. Unhappy employees outnumber the happy ones by two to one. There is an evident deviation from the ideal when it comes to cultural or moral values. Why is the trend so? What goes wrong inside those glamorous skyscrapers? Let’s start from the root of the flaw, to reach a conclusion.

Education and Learning are two words with a seemingly similar meaning, both glorified usually as the “pursuit of knowledge”. Normally speaking the attempt at education is gaining the requisites for employment. Is employment the only result of education? Is the concept as narrow as that? No. The study grows broader than just that. A study differentiates the two, very accurately as follows. Formal education, is to gain knowledge in a specific field to pass a certain assessment, post which one can expect an acknowledgement such as a degree, admission etc. We mug up, apply the knowledge and get paid for it. This cycle repeats itself infinitely to support our livelihood. If education is a ladder, learning is a bottomless well. Learning is a sort of abstraction of our curiosity. Here, we don’t learn something to be applauded for it. Learning craves no attention, no recognition. Sadly enough, most of the human resource tank today is trapped in the lure of education. Something that pays back, brings returns.

Flaws in the education process or lack of the right knowledge leave imprints that reflect at the time of its implementation. In other words, if education doesn’t form the right foundation, execution of the knowledge professionally is seriously flawed. Take for example, agriculture. India is known to be an agro-economic nation. 70% of the Indian population is indulged in the varied aspects of the primary sector, yet farmers are the poorest lot. Suicides, debt pressure, low standards of living, existence below the poverty level, are extremely common instances that point directly towards the adversity of the situation. This is not to deny that there aren’t reforms or that the government or agencies working in the field of agriculture are not working on the inadequacies. However, implementation is also given a major setback by the ecological misbalance created by overpopulation. Isaac Asimov said “Democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears.”

At this note, as some of the problems faced by the economy today are brought ahead, let’s also highlight where Raga Future fits to join this disjointed picture. Various NGOs, CSR projects of large companies and some government policies, have attempted to solve various problems but an effective cumulative reaction is lacked. Raga Future is a social entrepreneurship venture (registered as a pvt. ltd. company) with the idea of: More money bringing out more power that can bring large scale changes at a fast pace. 

Started by Animesh, with a vision to reform existing system and bring out a positive change in the society, Raga Future is the Raag(Melody) that aims to tune people towards the right direction. A direction where the aim is to work on educational reforms and environmental protection, so that our future generation can breathe clean air, live in a healthy environment and develop a sharp India. Raga Future aims to create a work culture where human resource is not exploited. Here, the unrecognized potential of a talent reservoir is tapped to extract the best that a resource can deliver! 

Raga Future plans to achieve these goals through the following projects:

• Graphic T-Shirts – There are four segments of Raga Future Creations(RFC)- Musical, spiritual, positive quotes and nature. These would bring a positive outlook in life.

• Institutes- Educational institutes for quality education even in remote areas making best use of online tutorials.

• Publications- To publish magazines and books for the children and youth focusing on creativity, cultural and awareness insights.

• Buildings- To develop green buildings and to convert the existing building green.

• Agriculture- Organic farming and developing green areas.

• Information Technology - To develop and manage an App for education, awareness and career options.

• IT Security- To work towards awareness on cyber security, consulting, and build cyber defense solutions.

• Music- To produce inspirational music of genre 'Raga Rock'.

• Entertainment- Produce quality movies on Indian mythology, history, and other inspirational stories. 

Raga Future has achieved significant milestones in the Graphic T-shirts and IT Security projects. A top Israeli Security Company has collaborated with Raga Future and together, they aim to bring remarkable breakthroughs in their direction of work. 

The seeds to the idea are sown, and roots to this majestic tree will become stronger with the support of like-minded institutes/people. Raga Future intends to collaborate with companies and people of a similar mindset and goal. A gracious donation of land for infrastructural use will be highly appreciated. Lastly, we are in search of investors who believe in the idea carried by Raga Future. Raga Future is looking forward to and is ecstatic about finding like-minded people and working in coalition to achieve great goals! 

To conclude, let’s bring out that change is the only constant. Reluctance to change is like a pause to enhancement. Only when we change, do we grow and become capable of discovering a world we never knew of. We’re proud to be born to a country that is composed of promising potential, talent and a hardworking ecosystem to work. The only catalyst missing is the right direction. This is the time to rise above the ignorant society and set new social standards. It is the time to be a torch bearer, and shed some light to the darkness inside and in the outer world. 

The best way to have a better future is to build a better future.
