Interview with friends and family
who migrated to western countries have of the opinion that apart from better
career prospects they chose to pitch their tents in developed countries due to the
better City life and City Infrastructure. Not only in India ,
but all across South Asia , Cities are crumbling under
population pressure due to the onslaught of migration from rural areas and also
due to lack of optimum public or private investment and non deployment of
technology in City Infrastructure. The toil and tribulations of a Mumbaites is
equally shared by people living in Karachi
and Dhaka ; if not more. This is a huge and big business
opportunity that India Incl. can’t afford to miss. I live in a small city like
Bhubaneswar and wish to live in garbage free city with spotless roads and with
smooth traffic flow in and around the city with designated parking place and
planned vending zones in all business and residential districts; and, am ready
to pay little more in city taxes and same holds good for the residents of all
cities in South Asia. A few top India Incl. with deep pocket can apply their
mind and persuade GoI and State Govt. to make enabling policies for outsourcing
the “City Management” services to the private sector; even,
private sector could become the implementing agency for State Govt. & GoI
programs in a transparent mechanism drawn for the purpose. With domestic experience
in City Management Services, Indian Incl. could also export such services and
expertise in South Asia and beyond for a fast buck while
enhancing the soft power of India .
