Framework of some essays

1--Essay Topic: "India has one of the largest pools of talented manpower, but few innovations
and patented products."

Analysis:
India has emerged as the human capital of the world and this is reflected in the growth of its knowledge
economy. However, India is merely a service provider and its contribution in fields of innovations and
patents is miniscule. This highlights a few problems that hinder India's growth and limit the opportunities
available to its people.
The following points can be discussed to explain the idea further:
• problems in the higher education infrastructure in India
• lack of Research and Development facilities available in India
• participation of private bodies in research and development
• lack of vision on the part of the government to ensure innovations and improvements

Innovation and patents is required to ensure India continues to chart higher economic growth and development. National Knowledge Commission
can be mentioned to support the ideas.


2--Essay Topic: "More than one billion Indians: A gigantic problem or a sea of opportunities."

Analysis:
The author tries to draw the attention of the reader to the great dilemma of whether ‘the glass is half full or
half empty’. India’s population can be seen in either as a boon or as a bane. It is a problem for the following
reasons:
• It puts more pressure on resources like land, water etc.
• A major chunk of the population is still languishing below the poverty line.
• It is difficult for any government to ensure health, education and employment etc for the entire
population
• It adversely impacts people in underprivileged groups
It is a boon in the following ways:
• Our economy is growing and it requires human capital to sustain that growth.
• India can emerge as the human resource capital of the world by providing trained manpower
to ageing societies.
• The manufacturing sector is still underdeveloped in India and it requires huge inputs of
human capital
While discussing the topic, the essay writer should:
• discuss both aspects of the issue mentioned
• discuss how to convert challenges into opportunities
• discuss the Chinese model of growth in which they have used their population (skilled manpower)
to their advantage come up with possible solutions to the problem highlighted.



3--Asked at the age of 83, as to which of his projects would he choose as his master
piece, Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect answered, "The next one"

The greatness of the human spirit is defined by its ability to learn and to improve continuously. The above
statement highlights the same thing. While writing this essay one has to explain that perfection is a
continuous process and that complacency stalls progress in any field. One can take the examples of
Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Jobs and others who have set new benchmarks through their achievements and
performances. Essay writers can also highlight the necessity of taking up every challenge with great
passion and zeal. A point can also be made for incremental improvement (giving the example of the Kaizen
philosophy).

Following points can be used to explain the topic
• Learning and improvement are never-ending processes.
• The importance of passion and zeal while taking up a challenge
• The importance of delivering one's best in whatever one takes up.
