Army and Defense:
Secure Nation to Develop Better – Army has the most important role in the country’s status. Well, it is better to stay protected before going ahead. US, China and other countries have bold military powers. So we need to focus on securing nation first than any other thing.
Neighbors Strengthening Power – India’s close neighbors Pakistan and China, which are the top competitors for India are rapidly elaborating their arms and weapons. Emphasizing on defense production is needed as per the current scenario.
Fighting Terrorism – The terrorism has spread in the veins of our country . Now India need to be more cautious about the emerging terrorism and groups like ISIS, Tehrik –e-Taliban Pakistan and even the internal matters like Naxalism also need some attention to solve.
Old Weapons and Warheads to be Phased out – Many weapons, machines and warheads that India is operating currently are old enough to be released from their service. Some tanks like T-72 and aircraft carriers like MiG-21, MiG-27. Some projects are going on to renovate the arms and warheads, but need more to take India beyond the required level. Many replacements have been approved by Indian government and some are being developed like Arjun tanks, LAC Tejas, LCH, etc. But some more fund must be released to support their swift production.
Economy:
Lure More Investment for Country – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India ‘ and Digital India are a step ahead to lure the investment. But more similar projects needed to pace up the economic development. FDI was a good step and has raised the zest of foreign companies.

Black Money – India’s black money issue has been a long and old matter, that is still to be solved. Government has done well in recovering that money. Recently India’s black money heap has gone down by 10%. And government has given last chance to the account holder to reveal black money assets. Focusing on it will surely give a positive outcome.
Burden of Scams and Scandals – Several scams and scandals have been reported till date. Some of them are hard to believe. CWG scam, Coal scam, etc.; even Army also got infected with it.

Improve India’s Corruption Index – Stats shows that India’s ranking is 85th out of 175 countries in corruption index. This is good, but need more to go on the top. The top place is occupied by Denmark. Well, it’s hard to reach the top in short time but improvement can be expected.
