WE HAVE NOT MISSED IT YET

You may have heard about a city called GIFT.If not then I am giving a short description on it. Gujarat international finance tech city or GIFT is an under-construction city near Ahmadabad which will come up with high quality physical infrastructure i.e wide roads,24 hour electricity,water,gas,telecom,broadband and even a centralized ac which will cool an inbuilt area of 85 Lakh sq ft on 500 acre city which can provide 6 lakh direct jobs in coming 10 years in financial,IT & IT-es sector . This is a Gujarat state government initiative to a compete with already established hubs like NCR,Mumbai and Bangalore.
So here my problem is that our state has not all kind of resources to initiate a same kind of project may not be that huge.Our Orissa government is too busy in clearing roads for projects based on mining sector as these makes a high gains for only concerned company and corrupt officials as well as ministers. Sufferer are the mass of Orissa who are losing valuable resources in very minimal price otherwise which must have used for all round development of state.we must not oppose the projects like Posco steel or Vedanta but should ask the question to the government yes some projects are stocked but why orissa government has stocked.Yes truth is very clear ,our politician and technocrats are too busy on these projects which they think will gain them personally.In last 10 years we see only 4-5 software farms have came up at Bhubaneswar.All the new plans have been held.City is growing but as a concrete slum with unplanned roads.Every year ground water level is decreasing with uncontrolled digging of borewells .No planning for efficient electrical distribution system.A growth of city does not mean how big area it covers but up to which height it stands. BDA is just busy to make ways to increase the earning of land mafias and small time builders.Where as they should take initiation to make huge residential buildings with wide roads ,open green area and other amenities.People of Bhubaneswar are voting blindly for a party but that does not mean they will always.Still we has a chance So Orissa have to compete with others.
