November 17, 2023India, with its unwavering commitment to the growth and prosperity of the BRICS alliance, has put forward a visionary plan to elevate our cooperation to new heights.
Here’s a glimpse into these transformative suggestions:
1. BRICS Space Exploration Consortium:
Building upon our existing collaborative efforts in space, India proposes the establishment of a BRICS Space Exploration Consortium. This initiative aims to harness the power of space research and weather monitoring for the global good. By exploring the cosmos together, we can unlock boundless opportunities and enhance our collective understanding of the universe.
2. Education, Skill Development, and Technology:
To ensure that BRICS is future-ready, India emphasizes the importance of education, skill development, and technology. Initiatives like DIKSHA, Atal tinkering labs, Bhashini, CoWIN, and India Stack have already revolutionized education, innovation, and public service delivery. India stands ready to share these platforms with its BRICS partners, fostering a future-ready society for all.
3. Skills Mapping for Development:
Collaboration in skills mapping can enable us to identify and leverage each other’s strengths. By complementing one another’s abilities, we can accelerate our collective development journey, ensuring that no one is left behind.
4. International Big Cat Alliance:
Recognizing the shared responsibility of protecting our diverse ecosystems, India proposes the creation of an International Big Cat Alliance. Given the presence of various big cat species across all BRICS countries, this collaborative effort can make significant strides in conserving these magnificent creatures and preserving biodiversity.
5. Repository of Traditional Medicine:
Our countries boast rich ecosystems of traditional medicine. India envisions a collaborative effort to create a repository of traditional medicine. This initiative will not only preserve our cultural heritage but also provide valuable insights into holistic healthcare practices.
India’s visionary plan is a testament to our commitment to the spirit of BRICS cooperation. These suggestions, spanning space exploration, education, skill development, conservation, and traditional medicine, reflect our collective determination to build a brighter, more inclusive future for all BRICS nations. Together, we can transform these ideas into impactful actions, fostering a stronger, more resilient alliance that benefits the global community.
