Mr. N C Saxena Member, National Advisory Council and Former Secretary, Planning Commission gives a thumbs down to Government’s UIDAI / AAdhar project as it can neither improve delivery and efficiency of public services nor be used to identify deserving beneficiaries for government schemes.

He adds, Rural employment scheme (MGNREGA) is a “bad idea” as it does nothing to improve agricultural productivity or create durable assets.
Amitabh Kanth, CEO of Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor said – Urbanisation has been ignored by independent India. Last new city – Chandigarh – was set up in the 1950s.

The Government must definitely introduce reforms for Rural folks of India but without the dirty thought of vote bank politics and see to it they are implemented without any leakages. Stay tuned, India is headed into a quiet revolution 🙂
