IDEB'S 14 Points

1.   Stop idea of exporting natural gas, establish gas-based industries.
2.   Stop export of brain & efficiency abroad. Expenditure for Education of Physicians, Engineers, Agriculturists and Scientists have been borne by public money, collected from the poor people of the country. So their export on job should be strictly forbidden.
3.   Use surface water for irrigation. Stop lifting of underground water and save the country ecologically, environmentally and from being a desert.
4.   To solve the flood problem, Water Development Board, Fisheries Development Board, Horticulture Development Board, Cotton Development Board, Forest Directorate, Agriculture Development Corporation, Agriculture Directorate and Roads & Highways Directorate be placed under single ministry.
