100 SMART CITIES
I listened to the speech of the Honorable PM Narendra Modi ji. As usual he started with Emergency clamped by Indra ji in 1975 and JP revolution which gave birth to 4 JANTA PARIVAR PARTY of today. He proposed a memorial for JP. So he is embracing all leaders of other parties. Now there are 52 cities over the population of 1 million. Delhi-NCR is clubbed as one in these 52 cities. But our real urbanization has taken place around Mumbai -PUNE, Delhi- NCR,
CHENNAI-BANGALORE, Kolkatta, HYDERABAD, AHEMDABAD, CHANDIGARH, only. Now PM is talking
of LUCKNOW/ALLAHABAD/KANPUR/ like cities which
have made very slow progress in 60 years. There are many other cities of other states like PATNA,COCHIN, TRIVANDRUM, whic may be in the 52 cities. While our main Industrial cities are JAMSHEDPUR, JAMNAGAR, INDORE etc. Ideas are all good. But focus should be 1.SKILL CREATION, 2. MAKE IN INDIA 3. JOB CREATION. 4. TVDP- TOTAL VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 5. BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE of Electricity, Roads, REFINERIES, WATER. 6. Root out corruption 7. ENERGIZING THE GOVERNMENT MACHINERY. Let the present system gear up to these needs and show results or perish. Dead woods should be shown door faster, Let us talk less and work more in a focused manner. more
