Government role in nation building

I had a very detailed discussion with Bilal (office colleague and friend) about government role on promoting or say building industries in country. My argument is that government needs to provide infrastructure and environment that help flourish need ideas into practical. Like you can not produce good students out from school or university unless institute provide him the environment that brings out the creative soul of that student, where s/he can put ideas into reality without any fear, either that fear comes in shape of loss, dogmas, traditions.

If you do not provide a fair playing ground, not every player in the team would be lucky to deliver and perform. You've to engine next generation in a way that it becomes a prolific unit of the country. Every country has its own traditions which differ from others; similarly we can not expect that an engineer, doctor or scientist can deploy/implement strategies which were successful in US or UK. Every country has its own economical, political and regional dependencies that might effect the outcome.

Civil society alone can not do nothing, it's the Goverment which needs to put financial muscles to utilize manpower according to its needs.

The change must come from within, it can not come from outside.
