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

Its not easy to low down the expenditure on defense or to increase it for the social cause. Being a developing nation, India is on the verge of developing its relations with the developed countries for the betterment in the field of defense and also its people. Making friends all the time doesn't mean that there won't be any foes. We know that if we are making some good relations with someone it ll surely affecting some others interests as well. We still have some countries that are always ready for attacking us anytime.

So if we lower down our defense power we'll be surely defenseless one day. But it doesn't mean that we can ignore the settlement and the needs of our societies. So there is no need to decrease the expenditure or vice versa, we just need good techniques and strategic minds for the it.

From my point of view, reducing defense budget for social expenditure. It will not be work. As strengthening the power of country's defense system is very important. On other side social problems are rising because of the corrupt mentality of our countries politician and not the least all peoples. Diverting focus from Defense will make country weaker, and it will affect our development. If our politician behave sincerely towards the growth, will definitely minimize the social problems.

Defense budget is be kept high. If boarder is secured, then we can work religiously for society. Prime minister's highlighting make in India concept, we can go for indigenous weapons, provide easy training and development towards the Defense. The investment towards the defense so be mechanized, automated for overcoming the day to day intrusion.

We sleep well only because of 24x365 alert of our defense. If we are spending more on defense there is betterment of the nation and which reflect on society where people can able to gain sufficient time to think towards innovation, creativity, proper utilization of resources.

If defense is strong enough, Un-social activities like terrorism because of biasing by internal as well as external factors can be easily able to convert to social without pain and bring stability.

Both the aspects are equally important but if we are asked to select one then I would definitely go for the decrease of social expenditure because according to me working for the welfare of country is much more prioritized over welfare of the society and its people. We must never think our enemy to be weak.

So we must always be prepared for it should keep all preventive as well as offensive measures so as to protect our nation from its competitors because ultimately the society and its people belong to the country and how can a country be safe if it is not protected from the enemies.

So as a conclusion government as well as we people should invest on defence as much as possible so as to meet any kind of upcoming destruction and hence defense expenditure must be increased.

In my opinion, India should never be compromised with whatever it may be like social expenditure etc.

As we know, around the world so many attacks were happened. Recently in Pakistan 147 students died in Taliban attack. During 26/11 attacks Mumbai policemen were fighting with latish and pre-independence rifles against with terrorist laced with AK47's consequently several policeman had to sacrifice their lives.

In our borders millions of soldiers and personal guarding protecting us. We don't won't them to lose their lives just because we had poor defense equipment's and obsolete technology.

Yes, Social development is very important. In India we can see so many sachems for the people like PDS (Public food Distribution System) , fertilizers. For these schemes India spending corers of money.

Now a days every country would prefer to be advance in defense technology like US, China, Japan etc. Because they would prefer safety first.

For example if we spend a lot of money on social expenditure rather than defense expenditure. What should we do with schemes without safety? At the end, I am going to conclude is India should spend money on defense part.

Hello friends,

I feel addressing both defence and social front of the nations is the need of the hour. While defence is absolutely essential part for India to maintain its stronghold over the offensive nations and avert any future threat, it is also important to properly allocate the funds toward social development causes in order to improve the living status of people.

NOW THERE ARISES A QUESTION HOW A BALANCE CAN BE ACHIEVED ?

The answer to this is in house development of weapons. For this India needs to spend more on research activities and encourage the institutions like IITS, DRDO, etc to come forward for the development as it will help to save billions.

According to me eye for an eye is not a good approach but if one country always try to harm other neighbor by means of terrorism and other activities then increasing social expenditure is not a good deal one should go for enhancement of defense expenditure.

Must increase our defense proportional to our enemy our soldiers are spend their life in boarder. Our social sector improvement is not greater than the life of our soldiers. So first secure our nation then strengthen our infrastructure and social development.

Hi friends I would like to tell Indian should concentrate on both the defence as well as in social budget also, to achieve this by make in India project. Indigenously making missiles and aircraft's saves a lot of money being spent for imports which also gives job for the fellow countrymen. Amending stringent laws against corruption which decides the country's development. Security of the country is foremost priority than anything else.

I am not agree with increasing social expenditure at the cost of defense expenditure because of the situation of the our country as we are bothered with the neighbors like china & Pakistan, social development is definitely needed but for the integrity and sovereignty of country we need a strong defense structure that's why high defense budget is needed but one thing is also important that dependency on other countries must be deduced and concentrate on indigenous arms society will automatically get benefited.
