April of 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the personal finance classic Rich Dad Poor Dad that still ranks as the #1 Personal Finance book of all time. And although 25 years have passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published,readers will find that very little in the book itself has changed ― and for good reason. While so much in our world is changing a high speed, the lessons about money and the principles of Rich Dad Poor Dad haven’t changed. Today, as money continues to play a key role in our daily lives, the messages in Robert Kiyosaki’s international bestseller are more timely and more important than ever.

Milestones:
While there is a milestone to commemorate ― and a new section in the book on Why Milestones Are Important― preserving the integrity of the original content is testimony to the fact that this book has truly stood the test of time. The sidebars throughout the book (that were updated for the 20-year anniversary edition) have been updated again, but the core principles that parents and grandparents ― those who embraced Robert’s story and messages 25 years ago ― are sharing them with new generations who have found that its timeless wisdom and no-nonsense lessons can be applied to anyone’s life and their vision for a future that includes taking control of their finances.

People of all cultures and countries celebrate milestones. We use them to measure time, mark progress, reflect on the lessons we’ve learned, and celebrate accomplishments… and they give meaning to our life’s journey. They are a way that we integrate past, present, and future… looking back at where we started, where we are today… and the promise of all that the future can hold.

हमारे देश में प्राथमिक शिक्षा और शिक्षण संस्थानों को चुनने की बात आज भी जब होती है, तो देश के 33 सैनिक स्कूल अग्रदूत की तरह टिके हुए नज़र आते हैं। और मेरी पढाई भी ऐसे ही एक सैनिक स्कूल, सैनिक स्कूल तिलैया से हुई है। इस स्कूल ने मुझे क्या-क्या दिया है, इसका वर्णन शब्दों में कर पाना बहुत कठिन है लेकिन मैं अपने छोटे भाइयों जो ऐसे ही किसी स्कूल की तैयारी में लगे हुए हैं और उनके माता -पिता जिनके मन में फीस, रैगिंग, छुट्टियाँ आदि तमाम चीज़ों को लेकर ऊहापोह की स्थिति चल रही है, के लिए जरूर कुछ कहना चाहता हूँ। मैंने इस स्कूल में 2001 से 2002 तक पढ़ाई की और यहाँ से दसवीं की परीक्षा उत्तीर्ण की। दसवीं की बोर्ड परीक्षा की बात इसीलिए क्योंकि वह वक़्त अब भी मेरे जहन में चलचित्र की तरह चलता रहता है। मैं, मेरे दोस्त सलिल सरोज, जो अभी लोक सभा सचिवालय में कार्यकारी अधिकारी हैं, के साथ बोर्ड परीक्षा से तीन महीने पहले से रोज़ लगभग 14 घंटे की पढ़ाई साथ-साथ करते और हर विषय के सेम्पल पेपर्स सॉल्व करते और यह सिलसिला लगातार बोर्ड परीक्षा तक चलता रहा। हम दोनों एक साथ पढ़ते तो थे लेकिन प्रतिस्पर्धा भी उतनी ही थी। वो मेरी कॉपी चेक करता और मैं उसकी और इसका परिणाम यह था कि हम दोनों ने बोर्ड परीक्षा में बेहतरीन अंक हासिल किए। यह स्कूल दोस्ती, प्रतिस्पर्धा, सहयोग, साथ और एकता सिखाने की मिशाल है। यहाँ हर बच्चे को खेल-कूद, पढ़ाई, स्पीच, सामाजिक कार्य जैसे श्रमदान आदि के लिए तैयार करते हुए जीवन की कठिनाओं को पार पाने की तरकीबें भी सिखाई जाती हैं। कमोबेश ऐसी गतिविधियाँ हर स्कूल में होती है।

मेरे स्कूल के जैसे अन्य स्कूल में घटी कहानियों को किताब के रूप में संकलित किया है मेरे दोस्त सलिल सरोज और अमित झा ने। इस किताब में हास्य, रूदन, क्रोध, ईर्ष्या, मोहब्बत हर भावना की कहानियां एक बच्चे की नज़र से लिखी गई गई जो कहीं ना कहीं आपको अपनी कहानी लगेगी। मैंने अपनी प्रति खरीद ली है। आप भी सहयोग करें और इसे खरीदें और अपने दोस्तों को भी बताएँ। किताब आर्डर करने का लिंक -

धन्यवाद।

All of us love to spend. But before we can do that, we have to have earned or saved some money. Only sovereigns don't have to: they can print money, or borrow; in our country, where they own banks, they can use our deposits to lend and splurge for goals that may not always be economic in nature. Many rulers have succumbed to the temptation, with dire results - inflation, debased currency, payments crises, bankrupt banks, economic stagnation, loss of public confidence. After centuries of ruinous experiences, some governments learnt, others haven't, to control themselves, create self-governing Central banks and let them manage money and regulate banks.

Sometime in 2015, news of unsustainable bad debts (non-performing assets or NPAs) in the Indian banking sector started to first trickle out, and then became a flood. In the forefront were some of India's largest government banks, and a series of tycoons who were running their empires on unpaid debts. The banks' problems landed on the table of Urjit Patel when he became Governor of Reserve Bank of India in September 2016. Based on thirty years of macroeconomic experience, he worked out the '9R' strategy which would save our savings, rescue our banks and protect them from unscrupulous racketeers. In this book, he explains the problem and how it blew up; and how he would have resolved it if he had not been prevented.
