Hope Not power cuts

Hope this deal bring good and the Nuclear Energy is used for generating power. Still many states in India have a very bad Electricity system. If this proceeds in a better way we would be able to generated Power more at a cheper price. Let all politicians work to achieve that,so far they were worried abt their power let them spend some good time to make their people enjoy some Power(Electricity) which is a basic need

It is sensible and noble hope! Alas N-deal will not solve it. The electricity tangle is lot more complex than N-deal! The issues like theft, pricing, distribution and generation of power needs changes to basic policies and laws, plus politicians giving up their deep-rooted control raj. Even IF politicians set up good laws and policies and become 'Noblemen', things will not change overnight. The market economy will take years to make necessary investments and build capabilites for reliable power supply. N-deal can only help in generation of power, that also atleast after 10 years.

Power problem is merely symptomatic of a larger issue. India has fairly good governance at Central and State level, the problem is at the third tier - local governance i.e. - municipalities, or panchayats, or city councils. It is this third tier fails to deliver primary civic amenities like power, water supply, sanitation, schooling, health services, local road etc.. The transformation of this third class third tier of governance to top class perhaps needs enabling of land markets. The appreciation of land by providing better services may lead to more and more land acquisition for expansion of domain of these amenities and such expansion would finance 'amenitisation'. Alas, our laws totally prohibit such expansion and constricts growth.
