for the 70 crore rural population of India only 500 cities will not suffice but it needs 5000 sub urban towns with all infrastructure facilities to be developed. I had read Dr. prahlad's famous book 4 years back and by now developed the vision of intigrating 100 - 150 villages of around 1000 population into 1 town of 1-1.5 lakh population, which will work as interface between villages & cities and in long term will rise like a reknowned cities.
India has aroud 600 cities with 40cr population and 6Lakhs villages with 70 Cr population on avg 1200 people village for which many welfare scheme of food, education and health are run but due to very small scale of economy most of them fails & the money allocated for them goes waste in corruption, so if around every city, in all directions 10 towns are developed encircling the cities with medium scale industrial units for generating suffecient employment for the population will help in an structured development of the town also helping the administration to monitor and control various welfare schemes.
also at present quality of education has been totally deterirated and moral education has been depleted from it. for improving it, we need to revive the 'Vanprasthashrma' of vedic system. you will agree that the 90% of the people aged above 50 in offices, industries etc. just Pass time to retire & often become hinderance to system if retired at 50& deployed for prm. education can teach rather educate the little children better way

i do not under stand what u trying to say. in my view no one from outside will come to help you, it is only you who have to clean and reconstruct your place, if someone from outside comes he will have his own vested interested like "east India Company". about my view on retiring at the age of 50 was not the complete retirement but the role changing i.e. what ever they were handling directly need to hand over to youngsters and play a role consultant, coach, trainer and so a teacher who can prepare next generation of India to take on the world. you will agree that teaching needs best talent but best talents do not opt to become a teacher but only those who do not get main stream jobs become a teacher,and so our students get second grade teacher. many report tell in india we only give degree and not the education. so if the best talent of the field after doing 10-20 year of main stream job adopts education profession can prepare 100 of better professional in next 20 years or till his body allows, while a person retired at 60 get jobless on next day of retirement & at that time he do not left with energy to start some new profession, our policy makerks should think over it while planning new education policies. i'll always welcome positive views, for your information i'm a 34 years Engineer working for navratna PSU more then 10 years,and i'll adopt education profession at the age of 50 to share my all aquired knoledge with next Gen.

"east India Company" !!!??? is it indian company or from out side. When it started its operations in India. "Is there any openings there???"!!!!!
India is a lazy country.they have no agination.I feel that before building cities they should take a survey of exiting situations hare required to be built up around the extiting raliway tracks.I mean they have growing areas in and around railways.For instance,we live at bordi village which is 160 kms from mumbai.Certain fast trains can take a stop at bordi stan and increase the mobility of people to mumbai town.we have one train at Golvad stn at 6am,& therefter,one train at 8am. followedby 11am;2.30pm what huge gap of over 2 or 3 hrs.People from this western track go to work to mumbai.Important places on this track are Dahanu,vangoan boiser;palghar safale etc and are haning no facility to go to work as not a single train gives halt at these places,similarly on the western ahmedabad express high way roads are in bad condiions and traffic can not move fast.why not create lines more,i mean fast moving tracks,by adding more road facilities.All these facilities will go a long way to develop these small villages into TOWNS, and rlieve the congestation of Mumbai.Rlys should look at these routes and take he quick decidions.they can be good and prime mover as they have already built the life line.Railways were to star local from Dahanu to Mumbai in June 2007 and as yet no sign is that it will start.I mean again we are lzy Indians;we do not realise the imporance of development.we are good talkers & no more.

How can you ignore the ever growing need of toilets in India that you jumped to suggesting building new cities? Did you ever travel by train in Mumbai, Delhi or for that matter anywhere in India? You will see so many dead middle legs hanging to say good morning to you! hahahahhahaha
Govt cannot ask businesses to build residential areas because this is not businesses' job. Also, given the IT and other popular industry salaries, i do not think employees would even want to stay in these remote complexes. And, businesses are not part of town planning process. It is govt's job to create these zones (they they do India), and promote residential growth by encouraging real estate owners to build malls and apartments close that area. People will automatically move when they see livable conditions.
The fundamental reason for migration is jobs and busniesses.
What I propose the businesses which employe say 5000 people should create a Residential complexes along with offices and factories.
This will help in multiple way. Employees will get residence to live and office to work in the same premises that helps in property rates and congestion. Reduces pollution as less number of vehicles needed. Gives a culture which is INDIAN not north indian, south indian, me mumbaikar etc..
Look at the colonies built by SAIL, BHEL, NTPC ACC and other similar companies mostly in manufacturing. The same model has to be created for IT/Knowledge/BPO sector as well as these companies employ thousands of employees.
If these business will create these complexes, builders will compete for that instead of creating small building and complexes. This gives opportunity to develop india from the scratch and doesn't burden the existing cities and there poor infrastructure.
We don't need Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad like few names..we need multiple cities with best in class civic infrastructure. Which is possible only when businesses are required to create the residential colnoies. This will help in more job satisfaction and less pressure on salaries also.
LET THERE BE A NEW BANGALORE, NEW MUMBAI, NEW DELHI AND NEW CHENNAI AND MANY MORE WITH SOFISTICATED ROADS, AND CONNECTING THESE CITIES WITH VERY HIGH SPEED (450KMPH) TRAINS. GO INDIA GO...BE A SUPER POWER
to our great govt and so called leaders, just to show your efforts give one city of our India full facility of clean rinking water, proper sanitation facilities, road, electricity, security & trafic management, if you all can do it in next 20 years it would be great, I am not discouraging but its the bitter truth.
In US if you go remote cities like Dayton, Columbus, Salt Lake City the infrastructure is great and every one want to come out there instead of only staying in NY or SFO. In India too time for us to develop cities like Kanpur, Kota, Warangal, Hossur, Satara,etc. If we can develop those tier-3 cities then NO ONE CAN STOP INDIA.
Yes. He is right. This way we can bring down the sky rocket real estate under control.
Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi (Except the offcial areas), Kolkatta and other major cities in India became slum.
You know... Upside NewYork city and sorrounding places like brooklyn, New Jersey, Los Angeles are really worst. These cities are also look like slum. very very dirty. But they don't have the waste water flows in open land.
In this way India will look ugly soon except villages and small towns.
Buying a apartment cost 1 crore in Chennai slum...
So, the development should be diversified and also people will get good life.
