India 2020 - Will it be just a Vision?

Today I came across this article and was stunned!! The practice of 'Sati' still exists in India?? Whatever be the case, either the wife jumping into the pyre at her own will, or the family members pushing her, the bigger question is 'are we on track for Vision 2020 for India'? With almost 70% of India's population in rural areas, the faster we develop the rural areas, the earlier we will be reaching our aim.
I hope Mr. Abdul Kalam can steer the government's efforts in the right direction in the right areas!

My worry is, I am guessing the things that reported are only about 10% of the things that actually happen. We don't even know how bad the situation is. As KK said, the only option we have is to try to achieve as much literacy as possible.
