It is convinced that a change is required in all spheres be it social, economic, political, educational or cultural. Lok Janshakti party pledges towards working incessantly for upliftment of the downtrodden and disadvantaged sections of the society and for making them equal partners in the progress of the country. Lok Janshakti party is totally committed to the concept of secularism and social harmony and will work with all political parties and individuals committed to these values to preserve Indian values and make the country safe for democracy.

Ensure power to the poor through ‘Gram Swarajya’by according top priority to development of village infrastructure through the strengthening of political, social and economic linkages and taking a series of capacity building measures like
|
| (a) |
Village-Development Works
The party will ensure building of pucca roads in every village; electrification of villages, provision of safe drinking water; and provision of basic medical and health facilities. |
| (b) |
Development of Village Economy
Generation of economic activity in villages by making available easy loans of a small amount at a very low rate on the lines of ‘Grameen Bank’ being followed in our neighboring country. This will impart a sense of self-confidence, help in generating self-employment on a large scale and prevent exodus of people from villages to urban area. |
| (c) |
Irrigation
We are unable to utilize 89% of our water resources with the result that a large portion of our fertile land remains non-irrigated. LJP will give priority to water management immediately after coming to power so that within a period of eight years, irrigation facility is available for the agricultural land. |
