Bandra-Worly Sea Link - Too little too late
The much hyped bandra worly sea link by HCC is opened by sonia, a free way beyond commom man's reach (toll charges are too much), connects to edges of Mumbai suburbs without entering in to Mumbai. India is too late in planning the transportation infrastructure, when the other asian countries are far ahead, we are just celebrating a single bridge. The first ever national freeway started 10 years back is still to be finished, we are way behind the developing nations who are much better in panning their infrastructure development and thus enabling a greater economical perspective.

Hey Author,
ReplyDeleteThe whole world says were are a developing Nation (one among the cream - BRIC). But matters like these disprove that.
can you please list some facts and factors based on which our growth is truly showcased ?
- Are we really growing ?
- Growing at the required pace?
- Is the growth automatic or by good planning by efficient advisors ?
Apologies for the typo
ReplyDelete*we are
I would say our nation is never a growing nation. A growing nation should do the following in strict order:
ReplyDelete1. Assess current situation
2. Think of the future impact
3. Plan to minimize the future impact
4. Review the solution
5. Implement the solution
6. Follow step 1.
All our "Developments" are need based. The people cry for these changes for decades. The government does this in a hasty pace. They never assess before planning. They never plan before implementing.
What do you all think?! If our nation (we included!) follow these steps, we make use of all the intellectuals. If that is so, the Development is not solely dependant on Politicians' discretion.
I strongly believe our country's Governance is strongly reactive. Strongly reactive to the pressures on the politicians by their relatives.
If it is a real "Developing nation", the Governance would be pro-active, based on the people's pulse!

ReplyDelete- Are we really growing ?
- Growing at the required pace?
if this "we" includes all the indians then answer is NO. 42% of the inidans are below global poverty line, this was 60% when we got freedom. The chinese where 58% then and now less than 10% .... Chinese are growing and in good pace and we are NOT.
