                                                     P.U.R.A.
     (Providing Urban Amenities in rural Areas)
                       
                      (A dream of great societal transformation in India)     


INTRODUCTION :-

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has become President of India (July 25, 2002), he has spearheaded a socio-economic movement of igniting the young minds with positive thoughts and of propagating the "Developed India by 2020" vision with constructive mission modes. PURA (Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas) is the major component of President's Dream for developed India. It differs from the conventional ideas of economic development of rural areas in many ways--a comprehensive and composite rural development, government investment at urban levels in rural programmes, reverse rural-urban migration, the prerequisite quality infrastructure, supportive modern industry and investment in social and commercial service and private enterprise initiative.




P.U.R.A. The acronym stands for (Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas of India).

Being a great visionary Dr.  A.P.J Abdul Kalam dreamed of this model(PURA) to convert the rural India into a developed , prosper and self sufficient nation contributing in majority towards a knowledge society.

India is a country of villages. Most of Indian population live here in village.
But because of its underdeveloped nature , people fails to prosper their lives and hence choose the pathway towards developed cities to earn their livelihood.
And this contribute a large in the city's congestion and many other uncountable problems.     
To envision this great and bio-diverse country into a developed nation PURA will contribute a lot addressing the problem of billions of Indians.

Lets look at what actually PURA model is ........

     
Just by analysing  the image above we can guess how great the project is.

1.The project is comprised of connecting at-least 10-12 villages in a circular  fashion giving connectivity through a lot of high tech facilities and developing a knowledge society. The Information and Communication Technology will play a very vital role in establishing a communication infrastructure.
The whole plan will be monitored and managed by a joint association between public and private sector contributing towards its continuous growth and development.

2.There will a well managed transport facility providing the whole cluster a unique way of transport from one PURA infrastructure zone to the others. If possible the satellite communication will be used for giving high tech facilities of weather forecasting and many other to the citizens.

3.The PURA cluster will be well equipped with E-Governance , healthcare , tele-education , and all those facilities proving a prosperous and self reliant infrastructure.

4.Dr.Abdul Kalam said "Technology denied is technology gained " , he not only dared to think of it but also implemented it which brought a feather of recognition to the India. 

Now he dreamed of this technology to be used for converting INDIA into a knowledge society. I think all Indian engineers and entrepreneurs  should contribute to this  dream conversion into a reality , thereby giving India a great recognition of Developed Country (A Guru of whole world).
