First, I would take up I would like to conclude ray speech by tne question of land reforms. In this coun- reading a few verses which perhaps you will try, we see that more than 50 per cent of like in the context of what 1 have said : our population have uneconomic holdings or are absolutely landless. The green revo V* $ ^rT^T sprtf lution, about which we talk so much here, has perhaps touched only the upper and ffarc ?r f^r vt axtf middle strata of the rural population; the lower strata have been completely left out. ^ crtb fercsft qr It is time that land reforms were imple *£PC, mented expeditiously so that the tiller of the land betomcs its ownei too.

Fust is the unemployment in the rural areas. A massive rural works pro u c gramme must be taked immediately. Rural roads must be constructed and other things J — p . l? have got to be done. Along with these, rural electciiication is a must. Without electrification, the rural areas will not c / > develop and unless they develop, the jobs will not be there, therefore, something much (j) t j * more than what we have piovidcd in this interim Budget and the Vote on Account Bill have to bo done. O f- t i / ^ y'cI I s I We have got to see that the educated unemployed aie provided with jobs. There are two or three types of educated un employed. They can be doctors and other i f . ' t l O ^ professionals who can be given loans through the State Bank and other Banks and helped. Then there is a large number of matri culates and intermediates who arc absolutely unfit to do any other job execpt entering - 4 - t W scrvice. We have got to do something for them. I leave it to the Government to determine what has to be done. ‘‘rtSsU -4rj}> ?-■$-/C *M It is necessary and unavoidable in the Z'SZ/ present context that a ceiling has to be im 139 President's Address (M) APRIL 1 ,1971 President's Address (M) 140 [Ahemed Aga] which ever since its formation was returning We have to see that those who arc with communists and Marxists.
