Lead India TOI


I am not sure how many of you are aware of this "Lead India" initiative by Times of India, their Ads seem quite impressive. In a nutshell TOI came up with this contest as a springboard for people interested in public service.

Excerpt from TOI:
"The Lead India campaign stemmed from our belief — and overwhelming reader feedback — that even as India takes giant strides towards fulfilling its undoubted potential, it is doing so despite, not because of, its political leadership. ''Good people don't want to join politics'' is an oft-heard lament. And yet, good governance is the cornerstone if India is to overcome the many hurdles that threaten to slow its journey to developed nation status."

I definetly agree with that, we are in acute shortage of strong leadership, lack of leadership is like a rudderless ship. Of note an IPS officer Soumya Mishra from Warangal district also made it to the finals, looks like a tough contender.

Here is a Ad clip which impressed me quite well:
