Delhi to B Made City of Dreams
DELHI TO BE MADE CITY OF DREAMS IN UPCOMING YEARS ,SAYS GOVT
Eyeing the assembly polls later this year, Delhi government promised to make the national capital a “city of dreams” by ratcheting up efforts to meet aspirations of all section of the citizens.
In this address at the assembly on the first day of budget session , Lt governor Tejendra khanna, while speaking about various initiatives of the government ,resolved to regularizes all unauthorized colonies and provide housing accommodation to slum dwellers in the city ,”The confidence in my government reposed by three citizens of Delhi has inspired the government to dreams big . We are not inclined to accept that growth and development have to be based on small incremental steps.” Khanna said in this half an hour long speech.
Claiming that the city has witnessed “unprecedented” and “sweeping changes” in the last 15 year,He said the government has aimed at making Delhi an “efficient, productive and caring city ”in the 12th plan period. “A whole generation that believes and takes for granted the metro, low floor buses, 24-hour electricity supply and even the increased green cove as features of Delhi life does not realize that these were non –existent 12 years ago. The fact is the these are result of major initiatives taken by the government over the last 15 years,” Khanna said. On the issue of unauthorized colonies he said all efforts are being made to remove the obstacles for regularization of all the unauthorized colonies. The government in September last year had regularized 895 unauthorised colonies. Nearly 50 lakh people are currently resident in 1639 unauthorised colonies which constitute a major vote bank .On the economy will continue to aim at achieving fiscal consolidation by series of initiatives including improving efficiency in governance. “Delhi continues to contribute a healthy 3.8 percent to the GDP at the national level. The per capital income of Delhi in 2012-2013 is about three times the

    As this novel so beautifully describes the constraints of migrants residing in the urban slums of Mumbai, development does not benefit everyone. In ‘Development and the City’ it is well iterated that India holds two-thirds of the world poor with a continually increasing population that is expected to surpass that of China in the next decade. Unfortunately this means that the current problems are only going to become even more exaggerated as development is unable to keep up with urbanization. Although there has been progress “in which many of India’s old problems- poverty, disease, illiteracy, child labour- were being aggressively addressed” many others have not, including “corruption and exploitation of the weak by the less weak” (28). Therefore, it would appear that the longer India avoids investing in their poorer urban population through development in infrastructure, heath care and education, the worse the situation will become.…

    Annawadi Gray Zones

    • 590 Words

    Like in the case of Mumbai, Boo describes how there is an overabundance of labor that have largely driven down the labor cost and created supporting gray zones such as Annawadi. In this case, the lack of infrastructure becomes a significant aspect to the problem as people are coming to the area while the basic necessities are still not up to par. In this case, the government have become focused on creating the opportunities without necessarily understanding how supporting factors such as ending poverty and providing basic services are an integral part of the solution. In a way, the fact that globalization have come so easily and so quickly have made the government lacking any awareness of such gray zones. Much like how Boo said in her paper, the idea now is that less government is the best government as the economics have made the wealthy able to provide their own services. In this case, the government have largely become ineffective and insignificant as the rich are the ones with all the opportunities and the power to dictate the directions of what the government should provide. The poor, on the other hand, thus becomes the cost of this opportunity as they are drawn in by the effects of globalization and are sacrificed for the benefit of the rich. Thus, gray zones such as Annawadi will continue to exist as long as the false sense of hope draws in people from poverty where they will linger in the gray zones as the cost of the economic success of the…

    Dreams are what keep people motivated. They drive people to work hard and continue pushing. Dreams are what lead to put into action. Dreams are necessary in the world and always will be because nothing ever will be perfect, something is always going to be unfair to some group. However, a lot of the time dreams are shot down and that is just part of the process. That is why change is not easy to accomplish. That is why it takes someone or something of great power to achieve change. Iconic civil rights activist, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote many moving speeches that displayed his dreams to the public. The reason that his speeches stood out and always will stand out is because those speeches inspired people…

    Progression is a necessary constant throughout all of human history. As we look back we can see the leaps and bounds we have made in technology, industry, and government; but while development is necessary it isn’t always the best route. Gentrification has been seen as one of those forms of necessary advancement, but when looking at it under a microscope you begin to see the truth behind the “progress”. Gentrification causes the rapid increase in property value, as well as the eviction of life long tenants, and the alterations of whole neighborhoods. On paper, it seems like it’s a great idea to take a neighborhood and give it a face lift, but there is a human element to the equation we are leaving out. Sternbergh (2009) notes that “Displacement…

    Notes: Poetry and New Delhi

    The identity crisis in the poetry of A.K.Ramanujan escapes easy categorization. The writer who is born and brought up in the Hindu way of life and who has educated himself as a world citizen, the conflict between the inner and the outer forms the core of his poetry. The poet’s self is the theatre in which are staged a host of incidents from the past, and across which move a number of personae like his grandparents, mother, father, cousins, wife etc. Bhagat Nayak remarks that, “It will be more appropriate to say that while the Hindu or the Indian milieu constitutes the ‘inner’ substance of Ramanujan’s poetry, the Western milieu shapes the ‘outer’ substance, and the two co-exist.”(Nayak, Bhagat. ‘The Axis of Hindu Consciousness in A.K.Ramanujan’s Poetry’, Indian English Literature Volume IV. ed. Basavaraj Naikar. New Delhi: Atlantic Publishers and Distributors, 2003. p. 5) The poem ‘Self-Portrait’ identifies this problem precisely when it suggests that the self is ‘more an absence than a presence’ (Dharwadker, Vinay. ‘Introduction’, Complete Works, Delhi: OUP, 1995, p. xxxiii) In the poem ‘A Copper Vat’ the memory plays the role of confusing the essential self:…
