We the sitting ducks on an explosion



"Which is the greater danger - nuclear warfare or the population explosion? The latter absolutely! To bring about nuclear war, someone has to DO something; someone has to press a button. To bring about destruction by overcrowding, mass starvation, anarchy, the destruction of our most cherished values-there is no need to do anything. We need only do nothing except what comes naturally - and breed. And how easy it is to do nothing."

'220,000,000 & 400,000,000' first one  is the no of hungry people in India the next one is the no of uneducated people in India.If we combine them we will get another new set  that is the uneducated very poor people.This is the group that poses maximum threat to our country even more than nuclear armed Pakistan.In last 60 years all the state sponsored social welfare projects have been failed because govt has not given the importance to the core issue that is geometric population growth in this section.As the parents are uneducated and poor, their of-springs are many and uneducated-poor and in whole this is recursive.What ever fund we rise to implement their welfare project it remains less as they have grown their size.Yes main culprit are the people in power who are reluctant to  focus in main issue because it will hurt their personal gain.


My idea is why not we rise organisations with private body in line of insurance companies.We have to admit that government machineries  failed in this particular plan implementation. There is a scheme of financial gain for home with less children by govt but this is not working.So we must think for a new structure that is  agent-customer model of insurance company.Private people paid on basis of  success to pursue family to have a small family.Both the benefits for family and agent will taken care by government.Importantly companies must be private with govt funded looking at their performance. Initially govt have to take care of a  huge monetary burden but we can make it from the low expenditure on health,education,housing, employment etc in coming years.Yes there are many angles which are not taken care in this.

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.
