Need more Nilekanis to revolutionise irrigation in our country

It is nice to see that corporate India is getting actively involved in shaping the future of our country. It is indeed commendable that Nilekani took up the responsibility of getting every Indian a unique identification number. He might have choosen to go to UK or US and enjoy the rest of his life. But he decided to do something about setting things right in our country..

There is one more area where Dr. Manmohan Singh has to find a dedicated person to lead. That area is that of agriculture & irrigation. Even though crores of tax rupees are spent on these projects every year the results are negligible owing to piferage and mis use of funds. we need someone like Nilekani to take leadership and make our country reap the benifits of ample rain fall that our country gets annually and improve the lives of millions of Indians who are dependent on agriculture. One important aspect of setting right irrigation is that of linking the rivers of north with the south. This will bring down the instances of natural desasters that our country faces every year and the assoiciated loss of life.

Can we make full use of our roads!

Privatise Traffic & parking rules enforcement. This will not only start a new line of business but also keep the BMC/ Traffic department's budgets in control while keeping the vehicles moving smoothly.
