power Supply

We should produce power from Renewable source of energy like Sun,Wind and ocean instead of using thermal and nuclear.IN long terms they are less expensive.

I think the key danger is our politicians who are dividing the society for vote banks and Opposing any policy eventhough it is good just because they are in opposition.

Do we have Indians in India. I am surprised. We have divided Indians into various groups, viz. SCs/STs/MBCs/OBCs/Minorities/Leftists/Rightists/Forwrd Communities etc.etc.Unless we treat all citizens equally without any bias for any particular group for the sake of getting their votes, we can never improve the Nation as a whole. We can only grow in some certain areas, and only a small percentage of the Citizens of our Country will be able to grow.

Exactly said Venkat, its to be said as unity in diversity, but it more diversified unless a national crisis comes and always want to curse the second person.

But electing the politicians, no good person who is willing to bring the best of Indian and best of Indians are not coming forward to help India. incase anyone comes, either he is being side tracked or being moved away from the track and made as alone.

I have an opinion on this fragmentation of our society. Before britishers came to India our country was fragmented in a similar fashion, britishers used it for their advantage as well. But more than that they gave little hoot about caste or religion and did whatever they think was right. Gandhi who is literally abused by us now and many others like Bhagat Singh, Swami Vivekananda etc each had a vision and they knew in back of their mind that after Britishers left again India will crumble and fragment. Alas they tried hard to create a sense of Nationalism but failed. After 60 years of independence politicians exploit this in the name of religion caste but why should we blame them. We ourself feel proud to fragment ourselves in saying I am Brahmin, I am Thakur, I am Baniya, I am SC, I am ST, I am OBC, I am Muslim, I am Sikh, I am Christian, I am North Indian, I am South Indian, I am from West/East part of India, I am UPite , Bihari, Marathi, Gujju, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, Telugu. Imagine atleast 20 fragmentations i must have told and there exists in people's mind millions of them. How will we progress without any sense of Nationalism. Oh God just help us to raise from these fragmentation to some sort of constructive Nationalism first.

Good that we are worried about the downside!
by Sanjaya Mishra on Sep 11, 2007 09:07 PM

We must mention the risk factors which can be minimised by our active awareness given the power of Indian people acquired in sixty years of democratic hobble.
First is lack of capabilities on the part of our industrial leaders in whom the nation has reposed a great trust post-liberalisation.Bajaj in closing Akrudi plant has just shown a lack of imagination.
Second is keep the movement of people upwardly mobile in the income pyramid i.e.more and more people should travel up from marginal existence to lower middle class,to middle class and up.
Third, the political parties which can execute and deliver results as per prosperity road map must be supported and not the people who find wrong in all moves.

SCAM under organised chain of malls is most dangerous
by dipesh bothra on Sep 11, 2007 08:45 PM  | Hide replies

The most danger of all is what u call organised retailing, Reliance fresh or be it other malls they are dangerous in every sense... its not a secured economy anymore... just imagine what one such mall does to the rest... well the same product for eg a britannia 3 biscuits pack when retailed in local market from a simple vendor costs around 60 rs and the same in other malls would be in range of 45-49 rs !!! which is not the buying cost of the local vendor too!!! hows he gonna compete?????? this is a big scam and we indians think these malls are cheaper but what if it closes 100s of shops by its sheer monopoly and unethical business tricks and political support.. where would the bhajiwalas, the milkwalas, and other kirana stores people go? if 100s of shop close down where is the employment whos gonna afford to buy things when there would be no one in the house to earn??? only the IT sector job doing persons and the engineers or doctor familes?? others will get poor like anything... please stop this SCAM .... its very very dangerous... the same manufacturer and products are givena t so low prices than MRP to these malls then why not at the same price to local vendors though their quantity is low but when added together doesnt a distributor who distributes them gives more business to the manufacturer than a subhikhsha or reliance fresh mall or chain ??? MBA brains are u listening? MR. finance minister are u listening i got limitation of words so cant write more technically

i agree with bhaskar..u r simply not understanding this..the conceptof retailing is fabulous..if u r considering it as a monopoly, thn the kiranas n local shops in ur neighbourhood were also enjoying monopoly since independence..wat happnd then?? where were u all these days to fight against monopoly??if one door closes for a man, then if he has the balls he will definitely try to open the other door and pave his way to sucess..and not cry like u against the big vendors..reliance neva stopped u from opening any store like it has done..then go ahead and open such a store..sir dhirubhai ambani builded a massive empire from a scratch..he did not have anything that time..but he knew the way to sucess and was sincerely hardworkin n committed accompanied by an excellent brain..he neva complained abt the monopolies which existed that time..it was a bigger scam then and not now...so better educate ur self..quailty of living is improving day by day in our nation and u want to decline the growh of the nation..wat a pathetic indian u r..employement is generating at a massive scale...u see the figures of employment..and ur bhajiya walas and other guys wud have to work somewhere or make such a quality product that is ur bhajiya so that it sells at a premium...and mr finance minister is more brainy n he can think betta than u..thats y he is there n u r here cribbing abt the malls..

N then local shops have pathetic in service and cleaniness ; its a culture change .. u need to accept , an yea Jobs how many jobs does shops generate... Retail's employ people in huge numbers so don worry!

I agree to some extent. But it is the double pricing..MRP is way higher than agreeable price. Many are sold on MRP. No body seem to question or shun from buying..Lets start questioning the price..and know what, they will just increase the MRP price on the label..I strongly feel we all should oppose vehemently and get knowhow of the actual cost of producing and judge better the MRP in right or not..Then , next step, just STOP buying from them totally

Dipesh,
Retail consolidation is good for consumers. Think about poor people that can benefit from the price drop. Though lot of people blame wal-mart, it helped control inflation in US and became the store of choice for low-end consumers. With the growing economy, there will be opportunities everywhere, and entrepreneurs with small stores are going to find a way. It is not a SCAM at all.

When big retailers come,they can work with farmers will closely.they can build storage for vegetables,fruits,they can cut down middleman and make it more organized.such expt started in punjab,with this farmers will become entrepeneurs,we will see more R&D in farming and farmer can directly sell his produce to big retail companies.I have seen how farmers growing vegetables throw tomotoes when they can't preserve them anylonger,even mangoes and lot of other fruits.With the entry of big retailers like reliance,walmart they pay taxes,framers can cut brokers,they stay entrepeneurs,more research into agriculture,already the agri land is so exploited,we fell 1970 levels of foodproduction,like russia we become in shortage of rice and roti,unless we commercialize agcriculture.power is the most dnagerous thing,communists shud let manmohan do his job,we can generate nuclear power cut the shortage on this front.people r willing to invest on infrastructure like roads,we have telecom revolution,please guys take india to next level,invest in education of masses,we r going to fall short of skilled people.improve police,intelligence,courts,throw out corrupt politicians,privatise all govt.

7th danger
by pankaj ruparel on Sep 11, 2007 06:59 PM

There is always ups and downs in the market. No one see how and when the up will come and the down will come. As per today's share rate they are overvalued compare to their EPS. This is the big game of money Gaint. If market not come down then their is no option for that gaint to earn a lot. So within few days definately the down will come. Our market movers don't require any reason to fall dawn or ups.

above all
by anand lingaiah on Sep 11, 2007 06:52 PM

each and everyone knew that indian agriculture poteltial is back bone for indian economy...
Govt, or concerned people or media should highlight how to increase agri production rather than concentrating on entertainment things as only one main thing.

Lot of mediators are screwing farmers and making black money which is not accountable.

still agri family is illiterated.....
bring up in education policy...
why partition in schools, colleges, hospital, and other public instititions.......
if u keep debating u will lot of other points.........

Other dangers!
by Ashok S on Sep 11, 2007 06:47 PM  | Hide replies

What economy you are talking about?
Just a few thousands (or lakhs) of IT people and similiarly high worth individuals from other sectors are earning heavily.
With this money, they have purchased flats/lands/cars/mobile/LCD TV/computers etc only to see that the prices of most of the things (esp. housing/travel expenses) have touched the skies.

Other than these people, do you see any signs of your damned economy?

Microeconomy and Macroeconomy should be the terms used when all the people in the country have at least two if not three full meals a day.

The congress as well as other political parties (previously BJP)have succeeded in giving an impression that Indian economy is doing well.

The reality is only this: Some people becoming rich and spending heavily. The rest of the country is cashing on this spending.

Ashok,
Economic progress does not hit all 1.3 billion simultaneously. IT and BPO processes brought a lot of international investment in to the country. As operations teams of these companies see low-cost skilled labor, they will come up with other businesses that can move here. Employment will grow. Anybody who owned land already benifited from the capital inflow. Government revenues will grow as well, which can be used for other programs. We should certainly aim higher, but should not ignore the progress in last decade. Yes, there are a few political and law-enforcement developments that I dont see happening either, but the overall picture is significantly better than 15 years back.
