Hi every body! Its very relavent,I am a doctor my self and feel doctors must go to rural areas but there are other relavent matters related to it. what is the infra strusture to make the doctors work handy and for that the IAS, IPS,well qualified engineers and other people responsible for creating the infrastructure and up lift the rural life must set up their seats in the rural areas.This infra structure includes water supply, electricity,roads schooling/higher education,of course the top of all good medical infrastructure where doctors get liberty to work if not in a world class professional jargon but atleast bare minimum to carry out professional/clinical work so that doctors are also not professionally & sociallyfrustrated,they have environment to better their knowledge to benefit their good orders and the society.

Ask those Doctors who got medical seats because of reservation to go and serve in rural areas. Anyways, they got the seats at the expense of other meritorius candidates just because they belong to the downtrodden castes-so they should not have any objection to go and serve in rural areas as they already got the benefit of getting medical seats which they dont otherwise deserve.
All these activists such as Aruna Roy are driven by media attention and the being at the center of public attention. What they may say may be partially correct, still can they say the remedy for their problems. Its always easy to point out the mistakes rather than give the solution for problems. She may have got the Magsaysay award, so what even Obama has got the Nobel peace prize award. Being an IAS officer she would have been kicked around by various politicians and now it looks like Aruna Roy wants to take it to the politicians.

Its not that she attention monger. she has a commie brain, she will make sure even the farmer get paid like the ceo of a mnc or vice versa.
Please do not oppose development. Yes, try and ensure a better deal for the farmers and the workers - but please do not oppose the project starightaway. Because, if we lose the project, the farmers or workers will not have any deal at all!
Some of these people opposed Nano Project at Singur, which resulted in untold miseries in the lives of those who looked forward to livelihoods centring this project. So, do these people really care for India or the Indians?
These people fail to understand the basic character of our economy. Our economy is still heavily loaded with agrarian features and a thrust ie required to move over to the industrail mode for rapid and effective development. How can that be achieved eccept with a set of new laws and new approaches - for instance, the SEZs?
Such activists who don't understand the hard dynamics, the economics, and make irresponsible and superfluous comments about anything are the National Nuisance. Condemn them! Rediff stop bearing such crappy articles about shitheads.

Parliament is not absolute and the same was convincingly argued by Nani Palkhivala in defence of fundamental rights.
1. Here we have a farcical govt who backtracks to put a flyover because a filmi songstress says she will leave the city if you put it there; and the same govt doesn’t hesitate to run flyovers through the poor peoples apartments so close that if a vehicle loses control it will ram directly into the bed room of the denizen living there.
2. The Govt doesn’t hesitate to shift tribals and adivasis from their own lands where they were living thousands of years to some other places just to provide water to a Kutch region hundreds of miles away from these tribals regions. And they call it development; this development is for whom? These tribals are not the beneficiaries of these projects the so called wealthy people in Kutch are the beneficiaries and these tribals are forced to migrate to foreign lands where they have to live in alien conditions amid strangers in inhuman conditions.
3. Who gave the Govt the power to ruin farm lands to create SEZs and give them away to private industrialists who later sell to Real Estate Developers and pocket 50% of the proceeds in cash in their pockets?
4. You already have seen this happening in cities like Bombay where Industrialists who were granted lands for factories long ago selling them to real estate developers and pocketing the 50% cash deals and relocating the plants to somewhere else and getting subsidies from t

You are right. But, I think they should be exposed in this manner as is done by the Rediff, so that these eople may be identified and isolated.
WE NEED MORE JOBS.STOP GIVING LECTURERE.THOSE PEOPLE HAVING SUFFIECENT WEALTH MONEY COMEFORRD TO SUCH AGITATIO ILLIEGAL LAND OCCUPIED PEOPLE SHOULD DEALT WITH LWA VERY STRICTLY DEVELOPMENT SHOULD NOT BE STOPPED WITH CORDINATED EFFORT TO GIVE JUSTICE SOME PEOPLE WANT PUBLICITY
SEZs are like giving up the rights to small pockets of land, by a nation to foreign controlling interests. The neta's are slowly selling our country piece by piece. The typical strategy is to introduce rules and laws that border on stealing rights of a nations citizens, assure the gullible public that rights violations will not happen, then hoodwink them on the sly by slightly altering the laws to favor vested interests a few years later when nobody's looking.

The reason why investment flow into India is slow is because there are numerous red-tapes which need to be overcome in order to bring in any money. These hurdles cost an average company nearly 8 to 10 months to just get a license to do business. In order to overcome this impediment and not to sound very liberal at the same time, the government decided to make SEZs. The best example of success of doing business through SEZs is in the UAE, where they hae made Jebel Ali, Hamriyah, SAIF, Ajman, et.al Free Zones. These by themselves generate billions of dollars of revenue to the UAE. If India follows the model, and with its large land resources, there would not be a question regarding the economic success of this decision.
SEZ can be islands of excellence and productivity in an otherwise chaotic place.SEZ per se is not at all a bad idea.However it can be ensured that fertile land is not given for SEZ.I request these activists to stop being a nuisance and clearly give out what they want.I do not think any SEZ is getting free water and electricity,nor should they.If unrestricted access to every place is a right then everyone should have the right to stay in Aruna Roys home.Kindly send all the tribals and poor to her place for free accomodation and food.

SEZs are important for rapid development of IT and many MNCs which wants to set up r&d and keep a quite place for all their work, still its better they do so in places which donot affect the life of others. Whats the use of acquiring fertile lands and converting them into sez. Just because the lands are cheap its not implying they can be used for other means.

Any concept such as the SEZ can yield the desired results for the commoner (whose interests are prime and important to the exclusion of everything else) only if there is little or no corruption in policy formulation and implementation.
Which is why such concepts will never work in countries such as India unless commoners realise the extent of danger posed because of their tolerance to corruption in public life !

I do not think that they are separate issues. I do not think that corruption can be de-linked from any economic issue in India.
You are probably young or have not had much experience with the way the administration works here in India. But you will realise it yourself in time.
If you know the ways of the govt. and still like to maintain that corruption is a 'separate' issue, then probably you are one of the beneficiaries of corruption yourself !
It is our open, transparent and tolerant democracy that enables such people to carry on their activities and also claim national headlines.
Maybe the way to grab headlines is to espouse radical issues !
Lakhs of people head to the Gulf countries in search of jobs and a better living. That has never been opposed by any activists. The living and working conditions, not to mention democratic and constitutional issues are abyssmal. Still they have enabled these communities to improve their economic conditions.
If the same can be emulated in India itself by allowing companies to function in fenced areas which do not have the negative factors present outside, what is the problem ? If you do not allow SEZs, very few companies(either local or foriegn) would like to invest in India. The result is enduring poverty.
Of course this does not mean forcible occupation of farmer's lands or paying him a pittance.
Such mistakes should not be allowed to distract from the main goal, which is: SEZs are capable of acting as powerful engines of economic growth and jobs.
Let us not throw out the baby with the bath water.
the real issue is that SEZs shud not be build on fertile land becuase we will then fall short of food grains, they have taken commission and blindly approved thousands of SEZs without even examining their project reports; SEZs shud only be allowed on barren and infertile land, as far as the benefits are concerned that is what an SEZ is for (SPECIAL ECONOMIC GROWTH); for promoting industrial development which will lead to employment generation and higher GDP becuase population keepps on increasing WHAT IS THE AUNTY DOING ABUT IT....
