I don't think it is right for a Prime Minister of a huge and highly populated nation like ours to be 'satisfied' with his works in any field, let alone education and health. Progress never ever reaches any saturated level. There is always scope for improvement.His words cannot be justified since he is not addressing the nation as an individual, but as a representative of the whole nation.The words he has used, such as 'concrete steps' and 'good results' are vague and evasive.
It is well and good to have laws which guarantee us our basic necessities like food, education etc. But the mere 'right' to education doesnt really increase the rate of literacy or standard of education and living of the people. The PM doesnt talk about the process or steps taken for the actual implementation of these 'rights'. Then there is the question of whether it is the food or education that has to be given priority in our nation.The PM seems to give priority to education of the citizens rather than the issue of food security. The words of the PM also seem to hint that his role is over by the mere passing of a bundle of 'rights' for its citizens.
How long is the road from RIGHTS to REALITY ???

I agree with your notes, here. However, the assignment was to revise the PM's speech rather than critique it. Please see others' blog posts for example, such as Satchin's, to see how your post is different than the required assignment. Please post again, and let me know via email when this is done. Thanks.
