2. Pressing Challenges In India
Challenge 1: India is faced with too
many problems
Challenge 2: Lack of Leadership
Challenge 3: No institutional learning
programs to seed Change Leaders..
Young people, even from the top
educational institutions in India
remain, largely unexposed, if not
indifferent, to these problems, to
speak nothing of their resolution.
