its very very gud project. but one small story one boy asked his father what is river connection ,for that the father told that if river is connected india gets wealthy and their is no poverty. after the son grown up and he became father and his son ask to him when all rivers will be connected, for that he told its in process stage their will a lot of issues so it will be over come and then its implemented ... his son also grown up and his son (2 father son) asked is it possible to connect all the rivers???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

so the question is asked asked asked by many father and many son but in the 2012 father asked to his son "u know the project the river connection"son replied wat??????????????????????????????????????????????

father:::"""THIS IS INDIA"""

GQ is getting delayed due to land acquisition, utility shifting,corruption and land acquisition cases pending in courts , tree cutting etc. First 75% of the any project (whether it is building a house, building or road) is easier to complete, the tail end will be delayed and will cost almost as the initial phases of the project. As of today 99.7% of GQ is complete.

Political will is required.  Do you believe that this Govt. has it. Even if it is taken up, it may not be completed even after 50 years.  Segmenting the project to each state and complete the project in a stipulated time.  Mr. Vajpayee did it. He wanted to connect all metros with "Golden Quadrilater".  More than 80% of work, he could complete during his tenure.  To complete the unfinished 20% of work, UPA took six years yet it is incomplete.  Everything is possible if you have the will.  At the same time we need to look at the other side of the coin.  The Cons of the project.  They have also to be addressed  before taking up this project.  Indians are good planners, Americans are good at implementation. Now you can find the difference of it. 

I remember my father telling me that a draft plan and report was prepared in during mid 60's to conect all the rivers in India, by one Dr. K.L Rao who is an eminent scientist. If I am not wrong he was Union Minister for irrigation in Nehru's cabinet. It was suggested in the report to link all the rivers so that floods can be avoided, more land can be irrigated, water is available to every region in India. It was shelved for unknown reasons.

Dear Mr Pande,

It is a good idea to connect some rivers and better canal networks, yet  before embarking on such projects we need to protect our rivers from decay & extinction, and need to develop a sense of belonging with our natural and national assets.

No city repeat no city in this country has adequacy of installed capacity in sewerage treatment. The polluting industries are allowed to use countries natural resources without a blink saving millions for their owners and of course the cheaply available entrusted custodians, at huge cost to billions of powerless souls be it human or animals. The icing on cake being huge sums of money is allocated for doing the same job from exchequers pocket time and again yet no one from these taxpayers feel concerned as earning repeat earning somehow is of prime importance and not valuing what they earned else there would be concern for where it gets wasted. 

Well, you are very right in saying that the project is 2 complex and BJP deserves the credit for "HIGHLIGHTING" the project, but than we are still lost due to absence of political will.

most of us will accept that this is a vital project for country whose economy has been based on irrigation for past several years.

for example I belong to MP, here Narmda is regarded as the Ganga of Satpura , it has surpulous water and Sardar Sarovar has added to its water capacity on the other hand we have Kshipra , which is completely dried out due to variouse reason. Now I don't now sceintific and eclogical implementation of it but it is a general feeling in our region  that it should be done. and there are rumours that BJP goverment is keen on it as both the originate in MP

Moreover the real problem still is political will as we sa in Krishna Godavary river dispute and alos we dont know what the religouse leaders have to say on it. Because they can realy ignite things with one speech

Overall nice project and my suggetion is instead of blaming on goverment and arguing like a tipical Indian why dont we kick start a campaign on internet itself , I am in whenever you all want

My apologies if I have heart any one in connection to prject
