Abstract: This article intends to remind and convince India and international community (sympathizers of Myanmar) that the present constitution of Myanmar does not guarantee to lay down concrete democratic foundation and institutions that can achieve complete transition, prevent the resurgent of the military rule in future as well as to resolve all socioeconomic and political problems that Myanmar faces today. In fact, Myanmar needs a large number of democratic leaders who could be a solid foundation to the democratic institutions in the country. In this context, at least 10,000 students from Myanmar should be trained in India with the help of Indian Government, Myanmar enthusiasts and international sympathizers, and democratic leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and pro-democratic leaders from Myanmar should approach the Government of Myanmar, India and pro-democracy Maynmars to take up the initiatives seriously. India should take the leadership and convince all Myanmar pro-democracy activists to divert 1-2 percent of their aids to support the initiative. This project requires a tentative expense of 150 million US Dollars for duration of nine years. If this project materializes, the students who receive education on democracy will fast-track the transition of Myanmar in to a stable and meaningful democratic country without resorting to violent means. A democratic Myanmar is the goods of its people and for the world peace at large.
