Traffic jams. Delayed flights. Crowded trains. That is the reality of any big city in India. The future could be much worse. The country's cities are expected to grow by an additional 250 million, mostly young people, over the next two decades. Without massive investment and thoughtful planning, chaos will ensue.
India over the next 20 years to turn that influx of young population into a quadrupling of per-capita income. This growth hinges on adequate investment in cities so they can handle the surge in people and the simultaneous increased demand on services. The urban migration, if properly handled, could generate 70% of net new jobs and produce 70% of India's GDP.
But how will that happen, So lets discuss what are the infrastructure plans that should we make for the next 2 decades and how are we meeting this high demand that will arise in near future??

If we really want to develop our urban areas we should give the priority of development of the rural areas. As the population burden on the cities are growing very much so the crime and other unfair trade practises are increasing. Emphasis should...

If you ask me, what is more important is urban decentralization. Look at Delhi. Is there any dearth of development ? Is there any shortage of money pouring in? How many flyovers have been constructed in the last 10 years?Did you find any...

This should be in the Ideate section. The starting point is issuing licences - in a country like Dubai , you cannot get a licence unless you can show you are a good driver , "good" meaning that you know all the traffic rules , and that you adhere...

Traffic management is not taken seriously & we are also responsible for making it a mess by violating the rules & arguing with traffic cop. & also not supporting whole- heartedly to their movement of teaching traffic rules.

The Traffic management is not taken serious in India. What ever the projects are taken by the government, going very slowly and more problems are raising because of the slow works.

Integrity of any political party and its worthiness is judged from the way they conduct themselves in the Parliament and make themselves worthy to the people who elected them. Democracy is strangled when elected representatives, ignore the needs and aspirations of the people whom they represent. Democracy is strangled, when the political parties stoop down to use the communal feeling of one group against other to come to power and compelled to oppress other communities to appease its supporters. Democracy is strangled, when ‘Playing dirty Politics’ become the main business and theme of the Government and Political parties that support and oppose the government. "The Bitter Pills for India Reprieve" I wrote this in this community in toosteps.com few years back. The article is available in the following link in www.wordpress.com http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-5I

India-Iran Drama Continues If Iran really was behind the February 13 attack on an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi, Indian officials need be asking one key question: why? After all, despite the fact that India has voted against Iran twice at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), New Delhi has seemingly continued to have friendly relations with Tehran. And why would Iran choreograph an attack like this at a time when India is seriously engaged in trying to negotiate a complicated arrangement with Tehran to pay for oil it has bought? (India owes billions of dollars in lieu of oil it has already received over the years). One suggestion has been that Iran didn’t take the West-led censure motions at the IAEA as well it seemed, and could in effect be punishing a supposed ally for challenging it in an international forum in this way. Regardless, the Indian media has been surprisingly quite on the sensitive question of Iranian involvement. The device used by the lone perpetrator...
