Idea Summit 2011

Theme for Ensemble 2011 - Bridging the Gap

Growth is but an illusion if not driven by the multitude. Dreams remaindreams if not infused with the daring of the masses. We aspire as a nationto lead the world, but we cant provide for our very own. The elite crowabout our march towards progress, but the proletariat gets nary a whiff of its fruits. Greatness doesnt lie along this path. We affirmed ourcommitment to future glory in Ensemble 2010, where we vowed to strivetowards a greater tomorrow . Now we take our first step towards thatgoal, as we aspire towards Bridging the Gap.

We pledge to stamp out all inequity; wealth, gender, employment, justice,race, colour, creed. We aim to make inclusive growth a reality and bringprosperity to each and every rural household. We will break down allboundaries and create a mass consciousness that will span the length andbreadth of this country; a national identity that will strive with single-minded focus towards global domination. This is the ethosof Ensemble 2011, to once again find the unity in our diversity andleverage that for the betterment of our country. The future beckons
