BUILDING NEW INDIA – ROLE OF CITIZENS DUTIES
Introduction:
India being a democratic country , has framed up the constitution confirming

wholesome duties for its citizens which carries the power of changing anything for the
development of the nation. India has the largest population in the world which is one of
the major power in the path of change in the various fields , be it socio-economic or
political-administrative , by performing the duties immensely , the population has the
ability to do any development.. While emphasizing the rights ,one must perform
his/her duties sincerely towards the society and the country . Article 29(1) of the
Universal Declaration of human rights states “Everyone has duties to the community in
which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible”. Along with
the development of individual personality , the personality and image of the nation
changes , by this a new image of India free of poverty , unemployment , corruption
emerges.
Performing duties has been a legacy in India since the time immemorial, as the line of
Rig Veda says, “O citizens of Bharat! As our ancient saints and seers, leaders and
preceptors have performed their duties righteously, similarly, you shall not falter to
execute your duties “, we shall not forget our roots and cultural values given by our
ancestors. India has Incredible culture and has always been recognized by the world
because of this culture, there is no wrong in saying that this renown attitude is due to
the effective performance of duties by the people over the time. This attitude must be
reflected in all other aspects which can be referred as refining India which gives the
image of new India by itself. Once Mahatma Gandhi said “I learnt my duties on my
mother’s lap. She was an unlettered village women… She knew my dharma. Thus, if
from my childhood we learn what our dharma is and try to follow it our right =s look
after themselves… The beauty of ot is that the very performance of a duty secures us
our right. Rights cannot be divorced from duties. This is how satyagraha was born, for I
was always striving to decide what my duty was.” Swami Vivekananda rightly
observed, “it is the duty of every person to contribute in the development and progress
of India”. We the citizens who are the originally run the country must always keep in
mind our duties and strive for the Refined India.
Socio-economical refinement : “Sabka saath, sabka vikas”, the moto of our Prime
Minister Narendra Modi directs us to be responsible socially and economically to bring
up the backward classes to build a secular and social India as dreamt by our leaders. it
is we who are responsible to for the discrimination and indiscrimination caused. We
have created this discrimination be it social caste or financially , now it is our
responsibility to eradicate this and refine India. No leader or any politician has the
ability to do what we citizens can do. “A nation with a thousand awakened citizens and
a corrupt leader, is much better than a nation with an awakened leader and a thousand
corrupt citizens”, saying by Abhijit Naskar, a social reformer. Our social reformers have
and had strived hard to bring up the change, along with them it becomes our
responsibility to join hands in the same path. Its already high time to realize the
consequences of the same and understand the powers we have to refine it by
developing a broad, matured minded ideology. A lot of western countries have set us
an example in the path of development by eradicating many social problems. This social
discrimination confines people to their own caste or community in all aspects like
enjoying festivals, sharing public spaces, business which slows down the economy by
slowing down the flow of money. This is one of the prime reason for a rich to become
richer and a poor to become poorer. Economy of the country is well measured by the
per capita income rather than average income of the people. This social discrimination
brings this extreme end of economy in the people. As a responsible citizen, we should
not forget the root cause and perform our duty to solve them.
Agriculture, the backbone of India has seen a ridiculous fall in the recent years. Extreme
ends of heavy rainfall causing floods like recent Kerala floods or complete scarcity of
rainfall like North Karnataka Districts has played a major role in the downfall of
agriculture. This uneven rainfall has also caused pathetic disturbance in the cities and
villages, blocked drainages , improper roads also contribute to this disturbance. The
hidden reason behind this uneven rains is the climate change all over the world. When
it comes to this cause, it doesn’t just talk about the Indian climate but the whole climate
of the world. This problem may arise in some other country but it might have its effects
on our country too. Due to the Bush fires in Australia, the glaciers in New Zealand and
Finland turned yellow, so we should take care of the primary problems like usage of
plastics, carbon emission, using vehicles, deforestation and as such. It is we who
perform all these problems, so it should be us who should bring change and limit
ourselves for our needs than our wants
Political-administrative refinement: “Lakhs of people sacrificed their lives for freedom

but due to selfishness of some people we have not got the right freedom”, when Anna
Hazare, a social activist , told this ,he not just pointed out the politicians or leaders but
also everyone involved in the system. It is us who allow every wrong to happen and
just blame the politicians as if there is no wrong at all on own part. Every coin has two
faces in the same way every political system have two faces, one who get elected and
other who elect them. These two are interlinked with each other and work on each other
‘s inter-support. Among of above two, citizens form the major part which should work
correctly in order to make the leaders work properly. Government introduces new
schemes many times but it becomes our duty to run the schemes in right manner to
enrich the objective of the scheme correctly. We have right to question the government
for inappropriate decisions but at the same time its our duty to maintain peace and
harmony in the society and country as well. Mahatma Gandhi has taught us a great
lesson of non-violence which is the prioritized duty of every citizen. Non violence had
been a enormous weapon in freedom fighting, let that remain as the same as our duty in
fighting our rights As on our part, we should know right, internal responsibility and
duty to run the nation more efficiently. As citizens, we cannot just keep on repeating the
same mistake as others and keep blaming politicians and leaders for every problem.
Social media has spread so wide, even a small news spreads out quickly but, along with
right amount of necessary news a lot of unwanted and inappropriate news spreads
quickly, at the we merely get any important news. We should realize that, its us who
use this social media, not politicians, not journalists, not any leaders, but its us who
spread this fake and inappropriate news, it becomes our responsibility to understand
the reality behind any issue and have our own perspective analysis. Social media is one
of the part on this incorrect realization of our own duties, there are other major issues
on which we should concentrate such as city cleanliness, pollution, accidents, climate
change, racism and alike. Regarding, these issues it’s the people who burn crackers,
throw garbage on the roads, does deforestation, discriminate people, we should
understand the ground reality and accept our mistakes and perform the duties in right
path. People in Amsterdam protested for proper road network for bicycles after
resulting 3000 accidents per year. But India results in 300000 accidents per year and no
person even concerned about it. Along side of this corruption has always been a
burning issue in our country since a long period. But every person must once think who
is that who gives bribe for own comfort. If there is no one giving bribe, there wont be
anyone taking it. When all the citizens come together, freedom could be achieved then
why not overcome underdevelopment of the country.
Conclusion : “Grow through what we go through”, indicates to realize our mistakes

done and directs our duties. We have gone through all the critical issues because of our
negligence and recklessness, now it’s the time to grow through all the problems faced
and look after our duties sincerely. Enjoy our rights by performing our duties sincerely
would work as the ultimate development of the nation. The basic and primary change
lies in the duties we perform, when primary responsibilities are fulfilled, then
secondary and tertiary responsibilities shall be corrected thereby. Performing our basic
duties shall reflect the quote “be the change you want to see in the world”.
