I have always believed that we should think on 10-15-20 years from now basis. The infrastrucute we create can last longer than it does. This will always need lot of extra support but still won't it be helpful. Do you think the way we are planning our naion is appropriate in long term?

Most of the Construction Projects are funded by International agency or Central / State Govt agencies. Because of the inbuilt constraints, many a time, projects are executed. Or else, it may go to other population , say, different country or state. Out of compulsion & by virtue of its being to be introduced, in particular area, we do accept the project.

Political environment dictates this. Either the delay in approval or sanction of money causes this. Or even, the abrupt change in Govt  creates this delay.

 As far as the Integrity of construction is concerned, all projects ensures this. But, as far as the serviceability of the project is concerned, it may not serve the expected level due to the delay as I mentioned above. OR the sudden governmental plan to develop the township, industry etc.

The political climate is the main culprit. A project mooted , may be dropped by other & vice verse.

Had there been a concentrated effort to consistently develop the projects with the view of future development will certainly ensure its purpose. But, it is not happening.

We talk about widening roads we want better highways , we need more muti storeyed buildings but do we have that? We plan a 4 lane and by the time the construction is done our requirement increases to 6 lane!! So why can't we judge and develop infrastructure which will fulfill the future needs?

Hello! Pragya Kothari,

                       Your title of the Debate suggests a guide to more  profitable Construction  Industry while your tone  of the Debate phones on the  India Plans  ?

                     Have you ever been to any  nearest University Department in your recent past or not ?

                A written analysis describes and details the probable and possible effects of planned Indian industrial /civil  construction activation  on the ecosystem /resources/environment .The Indian Environmental Policy Act {IEPA}  first promulgated  pointers for impact assessment with the intention to appropriately  focus the Governmental Decision-making emphasising economic , social and political (?) priorities requiring major federal actions affecting environment subject to impact assessment known as EIAs --Environmental Impact Assessments . In this vien , Your implanted Film of the Chinese'   Longest Bridge in China in the present World does not stand upto the dignity of the proposed  WORLD BRIDGE connecting all the Nations in the World !

Scientists and Engineers apply scientific and engineering principles to assess reversible and irreversible impacts  including primary  and secondary  impacts besides short /long term effects . Fruits of scientific developments clubbed with judicious technological applications constitute the INDIA-SCOPE for Planning a World-Wide Scope even .

We cannot go to the future and talk about present.We have to be in the present and plan and talk about future.We can't ignore the present scenario and working conditions under government rule and support.In current period If a youngster wants to do some uniqye thingh then he/she doesnot get support from the older people coz elder people never did this type of thing and even never heard about these thinghs.He has to be very careful in his planning and act very wisely to implement his plan.The main problem arises during the execution but every thing will be more than favourable when the result comes. Same rule is applicable when you are planning for future in present youhave to be very careful and act wisely in your planning and execution and at last the govenment will came for taking the appraisal from the people and the work will also gives u appraisal too. An example is given in respect to my point that if there is a requirement of 4 lane road.I would say that plann for 12 way road but implement or execute for four or six way,but there must be consideration for additional lane in future.

The enlightenment / growth seen in India in recent years like the change in life style, number of vehicles, accomodation required and the supporting infrastructure with regard to housing, roads, water etc; it is the time to think and plan for long tern.Planners must see the pace and devise the blue print. There is no time to relax but to ACT immeadiately. We need to see further.

IT IS NOT ONLY CONSTRUCTION AND ANY MAJOR PROJECTS IN THE NAME OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CANNOT B ACCOMPLISHED OVERNIGHT. A LONG TERM PLAN REQUIRES PERIODICAL CHANGES TIME AND AGAIN AND TO KEEP PACE WITH THE RAPID CHANGING SCENARIO A GOOD GOVERNANCE IS THE ONLY OPTION. THANKS PRAGYA FOR REFERRAL

Planning, sustainibility, present growth, future demand, inhouse ability & resources are although to be improved a lot, however, we are still far from to develope a mindset. I cant say, it doesnt exist, however, it need a lot of improvement to impliment the best practices rather naming them or to have them in basket.

Thanks, Madam Pragya, for raising a good subject and probing the thinking of professionals. You did good thing by exhibiting Chinese  longest bridge. The debate definitely shows concern as why we are not able to think beyond. We are not able to show case infrastructural developments where as our immediate neighbor doing assiduously.

We definitely have to see further. Since the present planning done are still insufficient for today's requirement. We have to take the example of British which they had planned for minimum 100 years.

Last month we have read in Newspaper that some Sky walk Bridges which have been recently constructed have to be demolished as they were coming in way of Metro railways and other Bridges. This shows very weak planning specially in the field of Infra structures. Definitely  the PLANNERS have to do a LOTS of HOME WORK before implementing the schemes.

We need to see further growth of three to five decades then only the infrastructures can be sucessfull . As we see that old rulers of Jaipur planned it in such a way that after centuries we are able to manage the traffic. This is perfect planning.

Pragya a road call Strand Road made in Kolkata some 300 years back still holds good for today's traffic. See Parliament, Rashtrapati Bhawan.

The planners look forward to at least 100 years ahead and do in accordance I believe all the problems will be solved. 

The materials used should have such life span, if corruption allows.

Priyanka, Thanks for referral. In this era of uncertainly all over, long-term thinking in construction industry is a 50:50 option. Major infrastructure projects are controlled by the political masters. If any one fails to play to their tune, the project would not see the logical conclusion. Infrastructure projects are the life lines for the politicians' sustenance!

If we take example of widening of roads the scheme was presented in late 70 decade but the implementation of same was done from 2002. We must think for requirement after 20-25 yrs as if we start developement future requirement by this time we are able to do at very minimal cost and plenty of labour resources. In present scenario we are facing lot of funds problem / shortage of skilled labour strenght, lack of ideas, political background etc. All these problems are incrasing day by day so we must think as you suggested.
