Why our major metro cities in India lacking in infrastructure.

Why our major metro cities in India lacking in infrastructure.You take cities like Delhi, Bombay, Chennai, Kolkatta, Bangalore, Pune or any other city of IndiaWhy it is struggling to cope up with growing population.Where are we going wrong? What is the problem?

I was thinking on this and I feel the problem lies with all.
First we can put all the blame on politicians. But still can we put all the blame on just politicians.
What responsibilities does our Bureaucracy have? , what is our judicial system doing?
Why the private player does not take part in town planning? And finally why our common man does not stand out and demand for the needs.
Actually the problem lies with every individual. The attitude is "why should I need to fight for others?" and feeling is “what ever I do it is not going to change.”
Most of our so called Corporate People (Multinational Companies) are just bothered about themselves.

A Company in electronic city just want the Hosur Road to be fixed and similarly A ITPL company want there road to be wide and nice. This attitude won't take us anywhere. Why can't we have a consortium of all multinational companies which would address all issues related to infrastructure? Why our corporate heads give individual statements in press.
Why the big companies which are making millions of dollors Profit, put some amount into the infrastructure development.
We need to get united, and then no government can escapes from our demands. The problem is we all are divided and politicians are enjoying this.

hi
You have posted an intresting article.
I would say its not MNC /Corporate people want good road or good infrastructure. Its every citizen wanting to have good infrastructure, and why should they be deprived of it.?
I think we are to blame of ourself, if we have not got the best of things,its because - we dont want to change ourself.(best example for bangaloreans will be to check abt hydrebad, or mumbai and way they have improved)

Hi DV,
A thought provoking post. But honestly, everyone knows that they have to do something about the infrastructure, but simply cannot do anything. Inspired individuals might protest against the government, but that's about all they can do. As regards corporates, they are not obliged to do it since they pay taxes to the government, and therefore, expect the government to ensure adequate funds are allocated to improve infrastructure. NRN might want to go out of his way to help Bangalore, but the likes of Mr.Deve Gowda would never let it happen since that would portray their governments in bad light. After all, when an MNC does the work that the government is supposed to do, politicians will feel slighted and insecure. The only solution is to eradicate corruption, and instill ethics in our leaders. And that is a truly mammoth effort.

Happy New Year

I wish all my blog readers a very Happy New Year, Let the year 2007 bring in all the success and happiness to you all. This year I felt the New Year celebration in Bangalore was more colorful and I could see more people on streets compared to last year. I received many SMS, with messages saying that the network will be jammed on 31st December. But in fact our service providers were all set for more traffic for 31st December. They could manage it. I guess Airtel, BSNL, HTUCH, Spice, Reliance, TATA & other mobile/Telephone service providers made good money on this New Year occasion. It is estimated around 1 Billion rupees!!!. This reminds me the Hutchison-Essar deal; it is estimated to be around 17 to 18 billion dollars. So if you make right calculations, 10 such New Year occasions will make the company go past break even and make more profits.

India needs Revolution.

Have you ever renovated your house while staying in it. Believe me it is a mess. In early 90s, my father was did a small renovation of our house and we stayed in the house while extending a part of kitchen, bathroom and dining hall. I was not comfortable during those 30 days of renovation. There was no privacy coz, workers were every where doing the job. The entire place was full of dust. The small tiny particles of sand and cement were there in all the places. My mom used to clean the house all day long to keep it clean. Once the renovation completed, there was sense of relief and I particularly was happy because of no dust. I am telling you this story because this exactly fits the current Indian system. Be it the Nair Radia tapes, Telecom Scandal, common wealth scandal,political parties, etc. By seeing India from a distance, as i am currently outside India, i feel India is still in process of renovation, there is corruption every where. Everybody know all political parties and bure...

Nostalgic about food.

Have you ever experienced in your life a certain addiction to a particular food with particular flavor and taste.No matter you eat that food any where in the world you will never ever get satisfied and you constantly miss that taste.And sometime you regret that you could not eat as often as you could, simply because we could not afford it. It was way back in late eighties when i used to live in beautiful Bangalore. Unlike today Bangalore was so peace full and a calm place my brother and me used to ride a bicycle and go to a mobile shop(i.e a small shop on wheels) and eat "Masala poori" and "Pani poori" which used to cost us just Rs 1.50 a plate, together we both would spend utmost 6 rupees. we used to go some where around 7:30 and 8 PM in the night relish the great stuff.  I agree it was not the most hygienic food. After seeing the way food is prepared and eaten across the world i don...
