So, it is not necessary to rely on foreign investment. l This type saving habit and family structure cannot be seen in the USA, where o n l y 28 percent of the people live as families. As people there take loans to leas luxurious lives, the government has to look after families. l The USA has privatized government work, but nationalized families. So its social security obligations rose steeply, which led to the economic crisis there in creased its debt burden abroad. l But as Indian families are thirty, they look after their needs themselves. Even then, the nation is facing an economic crisis due to the wrong policies. l More than 350 members / non-members were attended. Annual Report 2013-14
