The challenge before India is how to lift the standard of living for 500 million people to sustain the great challenges of the future including climate change. Imagine what if the Govt of India(or an organization) made Physical robotic agents for 400Million+ farmers (most of whom hold miniscule land < 1acre or are day laborers) specifically allowing them to do a myriad of tasks and customize them to an extent? It could eliminate major causes of poverty. The brilliance of this idea is: 1. Bottom up empowerment: Building such agents does not require massive supply chain and operational nightmares that other job, income creating manufacturing industries like Cars or Battery manufacturing does. 2. Force multiplier: This is way better than keynesian monetary ideas of just giving people money. An agent that allows you to make food, build a house and get education is infinitely better. It does not give you wealth alone it gives one hope. In india 6.25% of people pay income tax(https://incometaxindia.gov.in/Charts%20%20Tables/Why%20should%20I%20pay%20tax.htm https://incometaxindia.gov.in/Charts%20%20Tables/Why%20shoul...) and statistics on people who are near the poverty line are grim(though we haven't had a National census in 11+ years to really measure progress on poverty). But I have great hope for the future...
