Decreasing defense expenditure and increasing social expenditure is the need of the hour

Hello guys, according to my point of view there should be balance and proper management in the expenditure between the defense and social. As Indian Government should provide to our defense all necessary things that they want fulfill their demands to make satisfied them from our side rather than the Indian Government invests lots of money on terrorists.

On other side efforts should be done for social empowerment in order to uplift the status of every mankind. For social empowerment it is also social duty of person that he/she would be aware from what is going on currently and come ahead to remove disorders which are spread everywhere in India.

It is not that we have improve the social status and welfare of the people by decreasing the defence budget. If corruption is removed and the government ofFicials don't have an itching palm then surely the people of India will lead a healthy social life. The route cause OF SOCIAL ISSUES like poverty, malnutrition and unemployment are overpopulation and corruption that can be dealt differently and not by decreasing india's defence budget. First we need nation to live, which has to be safe guarded from our enemies, only then we need to think of the people. There is no point to invest money in a place where all people are dead or captured.

In my opinion the expenditure on defense should not be reduced because defense sector plays major role in development of the country. As we know that half of the region of our country is surrounded by water and half from land so India have to spend too much money on defense.

And if we reduce the expenditure on defense then the research on defense will not go in progress as it should be. And under the threat of neighbor country they all have nuclear power. And to tackle this threat India have to spend more expenditure on defense. And under the well programmed scheme and by reduce corruption we can tackle all social problem.

Thank you.

In my opinion, there is no need to decrease defence expenditure because India is a renowned country and decreasing our defence expenditure will left a negative impression on other countries and our enemies will get more chances to attack.

I think India does not lack of money instead that money is not properly utilized. Politicians themselves use that money which should be utilized for the welfare of people i-e for social expenditure. So by eliminating corruption we will get a perfect balanced nation to live so we should focus on eliminating corruption instead of compromising by decreasing defence expenditure or something else.

Reducing expenditure on defence won't do any good in building India as the superpower. I believe defence is the best attack and weakening it will harm us. Plus, India has enough money to work on the social front, just it is not utilized properly.

Unnecessary wastage of resources and imports should be cut down to raise money. Proper balance is required. Rich is getting more richer and poor is sliding down and down. Social expenditure is the need of the hour but not at the expense of defence. There are many other areas which can be cut down to raise money for the poor. We can tax more the rich guys.

As we all know that India is one of the most powerful country in the world and we are expecting tremendous growth in all the sectors in next ten-fifteen years. Now the new government is focusing on to reduce the cost of defense by manufacturing weapons and latest technologies equipment in India itself to avoid high import cost.

Defense is the back bone of any country and for that there should be any ignorance. Innovation leads to improve the things without extra burden on the budget and if there is requirement of extra funds for the country's defense that should be taken into consideration.

Too much talk is already done with both Pakistan and China. Now its time to show them we are not among those Nations who silently harassed by anyone. India emerges as the new world power, except china all 4 nations in security council i.e. US, Russia, UK and France wants India to be in the security council.

India's GDP growth in the next 2-3 years going to surpass china. All these above example shows that it is the right time to increase our defense budget as much as possible to heavily guarded our borders and and allow our military personnel to have some advanced equipment.

Ya, its right that one should reduce defence expenditure as its budget is very big. Had the money been used for social purpose it would have been better in the welfare of the society. But, india is surrounded by pakistan and china and these neighbours are not good one. In order to develop our society, its essential to save our country first.

In my view talks should go on and a starategic solution must come out of it. Once the peace establishes in the subcontinent area then obviously, we can decide to reduce the defence budget. At this point of time, its not possible at all.

Reducing the defense expenditure and increasing the social expenditure is not the wise idea. It is just like forcing ourselves stand at the verge of threat. Budget raised for social expenditure is good enough if it is used for the people in the right way. Though there is a need to improve our social economic status I think it is done initially by changing ourselves that is not going behind the imported goods instead if we buy Indian goods that really helps and there is a need to improve research & development in defense to stand among other super power countries.

In my opinion nothing should be increased or decreased. There should be a balanced form of expenditure in the two fields. We need social expenditure to increase strength of the bond with other countries, our friends, yet, we should not be weak in defense. If someone tries to back stab or threaten us, we should be equally prepared because no one can be trusted especially when our relations with neighboring countries are at sixes and sevens.

"The balanced form of expenditure is the need of the hour" in order to maintain development and safety.
