Powai Lake to store more water to clean up dirty, stinking Mithi

Powai Lake will store more water to clean up dirty, stinking Mithi... 22nd July 'Times of India' pg 7..

I would suggest that the State procure land 100 mtrs on either side of the river.

This is done without much fanfare.

Once land is procured from the Powai lake point upto Mahim Bay, the current residents are provided accommodation under the SRA schemes.

Industrial Units are debarred to operate along the banks of the river.

All refuse being currently discharged into the river at various points are blocked and high penalties levied on those flouting rules.

Once done the land is demarcated into small plots, they are landscaped and sold to the highest bidder who can build a 1000 sq. ft villa by the river side.

There will be a promenade for the common man who can use the walkway and enjoy an evening by the waterfront.  

Cafeterias can be allocated along the way. An Open theater, an Artist's corner, 

Ideas can be borrowed from some of the best waterfronts worldwide and incorporated here.

The Money so generated can be used to better the City. 

450 Doctors skip rural stint in state this year..

450 Doctors skip rural stint in state this year..  Page 1,The Times of India, 16th July 2013

I have been writing on this service Doctors need to render to Society since 1970. The only way to remedy this is similar to Engineering students need to do an In Plant training prior to Graduating, Doctors too need to do a six month or one year training as service to society in a designated rural area. It is only after this rural stint can he/she appear for the Graduation Ceremony and receive the Degree.

This rule must also be applicable to students of other disciplines who must do a six month rural stint before being awarded their Graduation Certificates. Focus should be on Each one Teach one, and the evaluation of the student reflects in the scores of the student teacher. Subjects taught can be Languages / Arithmetic / Social Sciences.

Commerce students must assist the Government in conducting Economic Surveys. Government can create many formats for a better understanding of how better they can serve society. Once all citizens are digitized, all properties, and other fixed assets digitised, it becomes easy to nab the Tax evaders.

Once Tax net spreads to include the defaulters, relief can be given to the salaried class, and the retired.
These are the people who have slaved their lifetimes, and the rich enjoy the fruits of their labour. These are the people who after 40 years of service even after retirement cannot enjoy a square meal in peace.
