CONCEPT OF NEW PARTY BASED ON HUMANISM

Goal of The New Party tentative name as Humanist Party is a progressive party
based on the principles of New or Universalist Humanism. These principles can be
summarised as:

“Putting the value of all human life as the central value and concern, higher than money
or institutions. Promoting non-violence as the only way to achieve results. Fighting
discrimination in all its forms; racism, sexism, ageism, and homophobia.”

Corruption is the main source of diversion of development funds from needy to greedy
people. The judiciary has failed to give justice and book culprits due to flaws in our
laws and poor governance models. We need system change at all levels with zeal to
take India forward to a Developed nation.

The erosion of moral values by political leaders has lead nation to unrest seen, today
everywhere. We need harsh measures, to sensitize the leaders, to make them
nationalists and work for welfare of the people for what they are meant and not to rule
the people thru wealth and power. For this to happen, the government needs new
policies, new systems which deliver and are not just eye wash. Here are some ideas
how systems can be changed.

1 EDUCATION REFORMS

1.1 Compulsory Value Education in School/ Colleges

1.2 Compulsory Rural Internship or Military Service as Interns before awarding
degrees in all UGC Bachelor programs.
2.0 Free School Education
To nationalize all public and private schools and let rich and poor children study
under one common roof till High school. This will make a cast less, equitable
society in future.
2.1 No to privatisation of public education be allowed and no to government
funding of private schools.
2.2 To Ban Tutorial classes for entrance examinations to medical and IIT
admissions, and let children be selected on their natural own merits and aptitude.
This will also reduce economic burden on parents and unnecessary stress on
students, who can now spend more time on extracurricular, social and sports
activities.
2.3 SOFT LOANS FOR HIGHER STUDIES
For higher studies like engineering, management, IT, health care Government
should provide education loans to students at lower rates and recover the loan
amount when the students start earning. However, parents won’t be asked to
share loan amount. The loan agreement will be direct between student and
government. This will make students more independent and responsible for their
career in place of depending upon parents. This practice is very much success
in advance nations.

3.0 New Political System

Non- Partisan system of democracy is a better alternative to party-based system. This
is not new. It existed in Greece and practiced even now in few nations in the world. The
need is for searching leaders who can work selflessly to make a just and
equitable society. There is need to allow only selfless, knowledgeable, dedicated
persons who vow to renounce, can dedicate their life for betterment of their
respective area. The new party will have its manifesto on these lines
