GIF
Activities
1. National
Center for Training, Research and Development
GIF plans to set up the above
institute for taking up a number of training programmes for students,
youths and adults. We feel that the main reasons for our poverty and
lowest per capita income are lack of patriotism, inadequate use of
modern technology in industry and agriculture, lack of training to
individuals to do their job in the best possible way, lack of funds,
lack of initiative and a burning desire for improvement and decadence of
moral and spiritual values in our society.
The above institute will install one
million videos and TVs to launch vocational training programme all over
the country from Panchayat to University level, to train manpower in
hundreds of vocations and crafts. It may help millions of unemployed
youths to either start their own business or get employment in suitable
technical institutions. The above institute will prepare a blueprint to
launch a national programme to impart training to people.
NCTRD will
first train the trainers who will instruct and teach through these
videos. The instructors will impart practical training and where
necessary will refer them to bigger training centers. The basic thrust
of the programme will be on helping the unemployed or semi-employed to
learn a skill of such nature through which he should get immediate
financial benefit through a job or self-employment.
Apart from these training programmes,
the institute will also promote the study of the areas which have a
potential to provide jobs to the unemployed and will employ researchers
to find out ways and means to improve Indian economy.
2.
Publications Division
GIF will establish a separate
division to publish research papers on environmental and ecological
security, economic development, employment, human resource development,
women and global spirituality. It will start a journal highlighting
national problems providing strategies and solutions. It will employ
experts to prepare information packages providing guidelines for job
opportunities and identifying the areas in which the entrepreneurs can
embark upon self-employment schemes. Publications Division of GIF will
get monographs, articles and books written by those who have evinced
practical skills and genius and are known as achievers in the world.
3.
Global Advisory Council
Our view is that our country is
lagging behind on account of our ignorance of the latest innovative
techniques and scientific research. GIF will identify international
talents and geniuses in different areas, viz. science, business,
industry, agriculture, education, environmental and ecological security,
economics, information technology, communication, health, peace,
nonviolence, disarmament and religion and will invite them to join its
Global Advisory Council to help us to build a Golden India. India is
known for its glorious past when people were happier, healthier and
prosperous in the real sense of the term. GIF will seek help from the
international community of geniuses to restore India’s pristine glory
and make her a pace-setter in every walk of life.
We plan to hold an annual convention
of geniuses to devise ways and means to make human life happy and
comfortable. Our aim is to evolve a lifestyle which strikes a balance
between materialistic prosperity and spiritual wealth.
4.
Seminars, Symposia and
Conferences
The world we live in has been
reduced to a global village on account of superfast means of
transportation and telecommunication systems supported by revolving
satellites. Earlier the geniuses or learners of one country could not
travel to other parts of the world unless they were willing to be away
from their work for months together.
So the fruits of the invention or
innovation of a country remained confined to its boundaries and the
people sitting in distant parts of the world were deprived of their
benefits. We can now see an explosion of knowledge on this globe made
possible through satellites and globe-trotting scholars, geniuses and
experts to participate in seminars, symposia and conferences.
GIF will endeavour to bring together
at a platform replendent luminaries in different disciplines for
exchange of views, discoveries, inventions and dialogues by organizing
annual seminars, symposia and conferences. If necessary, it will also
organize intensive workshops in a particular area for dissemination of
information and for imparting practical skill in that area.
In consonance with the spirit of its
declared objective to lead India to prosperity and human happiness, GIF
will carefully prepare a calendar of events wherein internationally
acclaimed personalities known for their unique achievements in different
fields could be invited to participate and share their wisdom with their
counterparts in India. Seminars, symposia, workshops and conferences in
different sphere will become our regular feature.
5.
Center
for Creative Art, Culture, Recreation and Sports
No
nation can progress unless its people are provided a change from the
monotony of their work and are allowed access to means of recreation,
entertainment, leisure, creative art and sports and games. If a young
person who works in an office gets an opportunity to fill his leisure
hours with a variety of events in the field of entertainment,
recreation, games and sports, his capacity to work will increase
manifold.
We can build a golden India only when we have developed
techniques to give freshness and relaxation to our people through
diversion of energies. GIF will also promote innovative ideas in
art, recreation and games and sports. It will strive to create heroes in
these areas too which are intimately linked with prosperity and
happiness. As has already been stated cultural traditions of a country
are a great legacy which need to be studied, researched and preserved.
The center will organize workshops to disseminate information about the
glorious traditions of the past and will acquaint the young people with
our precious cultural heritage. Games and sports also occupy an
important place in the life of a nation.
The center will be helpful in
identifying young and talented persons in sports and games and in
imparting suitable training to them to help them to do better in Olympic
games or in international competitions.
6.
Pravartini
Sajjan Shree Memorial Lecture
One
of GIF’s objectives is to train and orient people in nonviolence and
make them aware that the foundation of a glorious nation depends largely
on the integrity and good moral character of its citizens. Pravartini
Sajjan Shree was an eminent Jain Sadhvi (ascetic) who taught the young
and the old to set good examples worthy of emulation by others. She was
of the view that a nation could march forward and make rapid strides in
all areas only when the
people wee polite, refined, disciplined and honest with high moral
character.
She inspired the youths to live a good life and was revered
highly for her contribution to social excellence. GIF will organize an
annual lecture in her memory by an eminent national or international
pesonality who has left an indelible impression on people and won
international fame on account of his work, rectitude and service or on
account of his writings and inventions for human welfare. He will be
invited to speak on any area relating to human happiness and success.
The memorial lecture series will inspire people to achieve excellence in
every field which ultimately benefits a nation.
7.
Awards
and Scholarships
Making
India a strong, rich and great country is our long cherished dream. It
is a challenging task for it involves the strenuous task of inspiring,
awakening and encouraging all sections of our society to rise and shake
off despair. In order to build a great nation, every one is required to
work hard and contribute his mite to its progress. Awards are incentives
to make people work hard. They not only give new vigour, strength and
vivacity to receivers but also inspire others to follow their examples.
Thus the number of achievers is likely to increase by means of these
incentives.
GIF has a plan to institute awards to honour achievers in
various areas, viz. value-based literature considered effective in
creating formative influences in society, environmental harmony,
ecological security, sustainable economy and development, ahimsa,
science as a means to mitigate human suffering and hardship, employment,
religion, industry, public life, service, education, peace
etc.
A complete plan and a brochure with the detailed procedure
for nominations along with selection committees will be formulated under
the aegis of this division of GIF soon. Besides
GIF will also provide scholarships to both needy and outstanding
students to enable them to prosecute higher studies and do research in
different streams of knowledge.
8.
Center
for Rural Development and Poverty Elimination
More
than seventy percent of Indian population lives in villages. Even after
fifty years of our independence, most villagers still live below poverty
line. More than sixty percent of them are illiterate.
As
regards the number of educated among the rural folk, it may be even less
than ten percent. A large number of villages are inaccessible as they
are neither connected by road nor by railways. Of course, there has been
considerable improvement in the situation during the last five decades
but the lot of the rural folk has not improved much.
There has virtually
been little or no developmental work in rural areas as compared with
what has been done for urbans. The helpless poor villagers remain
unemployed and their life has become miserable. Most villages are
without electricity and the problem of drinking water is becoming acute
with every passing day. The cultivable land is shrinking rapidly. Utter
lack of basic facilities such as health, education, sanitation and
employment and apathetic and callous indifference of bureaucrats towards
the villagers' just and urgent needs are responsible for their exodus to
the cities.
It
is being increasingly realized that non-governmental organizations
(NGO’s) are in a better position to do constructive work in Indian
villages and improve the quality of life of the rural folk.
GIF
has a two-fold objective. On the one hand, it will utilize the
experience and talent of the selected people who have an insight into
the rural problems and are competent to evolve strategies and prepare
feasible projects. On the other hand, it will adopt a cluster of
villages as a model rural development project with the help of
Government and overseas funding agencies. The main aim of this center is
to raise the rural folk’s standard of living by training them to learn
some economically useful indigenous trades, crafts and vocations and
help them to become self-dependent. GIF will also create awareness among
the rural people about the need to maintain ecological and environmental
harmony and encourage them to retain their lifestyle rooted in
simplicity.

Council for Peace and International Amity
The
world is passing through a critical period when the very survival of
humanity is threatened by ever-increasing armed conflicts, ethnic and
religious prejudices, nuclear weapons, abject poverty, population
explosion, environment and ecological degradation and rapid degeneration
of moral and spiritual values. When we think of the nuclear holocaust
caused by the atom bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on
August 6 and 9 in 1945 it gives us the shivers and we wish that never
again should this ghastly spectacle be repeated.
Our
country is known for its glorious tradition of nonviolence and its
commitment to global peace.
This
division of GOLDEN INDIA FOUNDATION will network with international and
national NGOs who stand for peace through nonviolence and believe in
international amity and will join national and international campaigns
that address the issues and problems elucidated above. We believe in the
unity of humanity and give a clarion call to all countries to develop
the cult of peace and amity towards one another.
We
will establish intimate and firm relations with United Nations, UNESCO,
UN University for Peace, Costa Rica and other reputed peace
organizations and will extend support to them in their efforts for
building lasting peace on this globe. GIF will develop official
relationship with UN and UNESCO and work in close cooperation. It will
also work hard for national integration and communal harmony in our own
country.
In
essence, the Council for Peace and International Amity will popularize
nonviolent methods to resolve conflicts between nations and will get
peace and nonviolence kits prepared for the benefit of students and
children.

PREFACE
The India of my dreams is a country where there is no poverty and
unemployment, no scarcity of essential commodities and water, where
people are computer savvy and where Information Technology has led them
to the path of progress and prosperity.
But dreams are only dreams unless they turn into reality. However, I am
sure the glory of ancient India can be restored and it can once again
become the Golden India which can provide leadership to the nations of
the world. We can achieve this goal by a determined effort in the
development and use of Information Technology taking a cue, where
necessary, from the advanced countries of the West.
Framing of right type of policies, proper planning and meticulous
implementation within a time frame and with a sense of purpose and
dedication can help us achieve our dreams in the shortest possible time.
To work for national causes, motivation always comes from a sense of
nationalism and love for your country.
In the following chapters I have made suggestions for leading India to
prosperity by making it an I.T. savvy country, by removing poverty and
unemployment, rationalizing interest rate, strengthening our Defence
Forces and solving the problem of chronic water scarcity in the country.
I hope there will be a free and fearless discussion among intellectuals,
politicians, bureaucrats and others on these topics and we will
implement the schemes without losing anytime. The Golden India
Foundation is ready to undertake the implementation of various
programmes free of charge in the service of the country and humanity at
large.
(P.
C. LUNIA)
Dr. P.C. Lunia - A Profile
Dr.
P.C. Lunia, a profound thinker, prominent jeweller and renowned social
worker, was born in Jaipur on April 13, 1943. His family originates from
the erstwhile Multan State of India. One of his forefathers, Shri
Dhingarmal Shah was the Prime Minister of the State of Multan. Some 150
years back the family moved first to Jaisalmer, then to Delhi and
finally to Jaipur, the Pink City of India and were engaged in the
business of Jewelley. Dr. P.C. Lunia is now a leading jeweller of Jaipur.
He had the first and only jeweller's showroom at Lake Palace Hotel,
Udaipur. His grandfather late Sh. Gulab Chand Lunia and father, late
Shri K.C. Lunia were among the prominent jewellers of Jaipur.
In
1970, after his marriage, Dr. Lunia went on a world trip in connection
with his business and chose to settle in America. since then he has been
living there and giving new dimensions to his business of jewellery. he
is a very innovative and dynamic figure in this field and by using
information technology has expanded his business. he has gained
expertise in precious stones like ruby, blue sapphire supplier, emerald,
etc. his special achievement in this field was acknowledged as far back
as 1973 when on march 22 in that year New
York Times and Palm Beach Daily
News published a write-up on his work on their front pages under the
heading 'Jaipur Jewel Collectors'.
Though
he is settled in America, he visits India quite frequently. he has a
deep sense of affinity with Jaipur where he has established Golden
India Foundation, a non-profit social organization, for the sole
purpose of bringing back the glorious days of ancient India and putting
it on the road to prosperity and power so that it can once again play
the role of a leader of nations. the foundation works as a think-tank
and gives valuable and timely suggestions to the govt. of India through
its various ministries regarding solutions to the major problems and
issues the country is facing today.
Quite a few of the plans and
projects prepared by him have been adopted by he government in the
ministry of finance and the country has benefited a great deal from them
and earned huge sums of foreign exchange. Golden India foundation is
working relentlessly in search of ways to help the unemployed in India
and till now if has not sought any financial assistance form any
government agency.
Dr.
Lunia believes that if we work hard and implement our plans sincerely,
India will certainly once again become Golden India. To earn more
foreign exchange, to root out unemployment and generate employment
opportunities and work for the upliftment of the poor and weaker
sections of the society, we have to take to Information Technology in a
big way and lead the country to the path of development. Dr. Lunia was a
member of TIE Group (The Indus Entrepreneurs) from SILICON valley,
California (USA) which met the Prime Minister of India on January 13,
2000 in New Delhi and suggested ways and means for the greater
development of software industry.
Dr. Lunia brought out a souvenir
"Amity" to mark the historic visit of U.S. President Bill
Clinton to Jaipur on March 22-23, 2000. He has also tried to identify
the areas in which the two great countries can co-operate and learn from
each other and embark upon a joint venture to bestow prosperity and
happiness on the people of both the countries.
Dr.
Lunia contested the 1998 Parliamentary election from Jaipur and also
from Lucknow against Shri Atal Bhiari Vajpai, though his intention was
neither to win the election nor to achieve any political mileage. His
sole aim was to draw the attention of the people and the political
parties towards his plans and projects for the upliftment of the
country. Dr. Lunia's election manifesto included among other things
several proposals for the beautification of Jaipur, for example, making
Jaipur the sister city of Paris, the beautification of main crossroads
or crossings, conversion of Jaipur airport into an international one,
etc. It is a matter of great pleasure to him that Rajasthan Government
has already started working in this direction.
On
march 4, 2000, the award of "international man of knowledge"
was conferred upon Dr. Lunia by Shri Arun Jaitly, then minister for
information and broadcasting, government of India, in New Delhi.
Besides, several social organizations and institutions have felicitated
and honoured him from time to time.
There
is a religious dimension also to his personality. he was brought up in a
family which gave him religious samskaras. his aunt (father's sister)
Agam Jyoti Pravartini Sajjan Shri Ji Ma Sa has been a well-known and
scholarly Sadhvi of Jain religion. she was publicly honoured in 1989 at
Ramlila ground in Jaipur. his excellence, the governor of Rajasthan,
Shri Sukhdev Prasad presented the festshrift Shramini published in her honour. Dr. Lunia himself has been actively engaged
in the furtherance of religious causes. Recently, in a ten-day
Anjalshalaka Murti Pratishthan Samaroh at Malpura, Dr. Lunia
presented a 25 Kg. precious ruby studded statue of revered Dadaguru Shri
Jinkushal Suri Ji. he has also extended full support to religious
programmes held at various places from time to time.
In order to propagate Indian wisdom and philosophy among common people,
especially in foreign countries, Dr. Lunia has made available quite
useful material on internet in the website "India Gyan.com" in
12000 interactive pages. It finds a prominent place in the five
important portals on Alternative Health in the world. More useful
material is being constantly fed into the website.
