    "content": "One of these approaches could be that the programme which has been ably initiated, which is NYS programmes becomes a base to feeding county employees. These are people who will have a national approach and will be skilled towards security matters. This will have to be a programme that is pushed by this House. The second approach is to remove the pressure from the Internal Security docket and ensure that all Ministries and Government agencies have a certain percentage; even if it is 10 or 15 per cent of the Budgets that we pass in this House. That way, we will have sectoral initiatives towards security and the responsibility of security starts with all of us. It has broadly been handled by the Government, but the Government is the people. People carry this burden of becoming your brother’s keeper. We should take it a step further, that in terms of the risk and threat assessment of our citizenry today, we are mostly Alice in Wonderland. You see a problem approaching you, you think it is a problem, but by the time it is next to you, it has already gobbled you. These were the incidents that were already happening and it is a rendition of the Nazi Germany when millions of Jews were being led to the chamber by just two or three officers and yet people were not thinking of elements of self sacrifice; that a mob of 20 would be willing to die and save many. I am saying this because we have to see each other as part of one problem such that if we can inculcate within the school curricula from Standard One, from the lowest of learning institutions, the element of risk and threat assessment, it will become something which increases our state of alertness. Countries like Turkey, Israel and a majority of the known world have mandatory military service. Where we do not have the capacity - and we are growing that capacity by growing our economy - we can do this through the education sector. We can do this by revamping the scouting movement."
