Mr. Mrunal Dholepatil in his welcome note explained why there is no cohesiveness between government and common people and how the reforms proposed by the party can change whole scenario drastically by strengthening the liberty of the citizens, by minimizing size of the government.
Mr. Sanjay Sonawani spoke on the plight of the farmers, poor rural infrastructure and tyranny of APMC’s. Also he spoke on need of bringing drastic changes in education system overcrowded unplanned cities with inadequate infrastructure. He stressed on the efforts to bring decentralized development and explained because of total lack of industries in many regions, migrations of the people from such regions is happening towards already overcrowded cities thereby burdening the already collapsing infrastructures of the big cities. He suggested various alternatives to eliminate such problems. He explained how the political vacuum is created because of the casteist, greedy and corrupt politicians of present day without any ideology or concrete plan for the better tomorrow. He concluded that SBP is the only option because it has solid liberal and visionary agenda.
Every participant too discussed on above points, raised many issues from their own studies, such as, unequal water distribution, student’s plight because of colleges demanding various unnecessary certificates for admissions and scholarships. Also the environment issues were discussed vehemently with suggesting alternative suggestions those can be taken up by Party. Local issues also were discussed and plans were charted out to find solutions through action.

1) Web portal and app to be launched soon for connecting farmers and end consumers so that both are benefitted.
2) Under RTI data to be collected on the irregularities of the APMC’s and action taken on them (if any) by the State Government, so that SBP will decide further line of the action in interest of the farmers.
