Swadeshiwali Diwali, Hon PM & Mr. Trump !!







                                             
















 --

“Maybe your country is only a place you make up in your own mind. Something you dream about and sing about. Maybe it's not a place on the map at all, but just a story full of people you meet and places you visit, full of books and films you've been to. I'm not afraid of being homesick and having no language to live in. I don't have to be like anyone else. I'm walking on the wall and nobody can stop me.”
 Hugo Hamilton

“The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land.”
 Abraham Lincoln

"Had we not abandoned Swadeshi, we need not have been in the present fallen state. If we would get rid of the economic slavery, we must manufacture our own cloth and, at the present moment, only by hand-spinning and hand-weaving." – Mahatma Gandhi.

Hugo P. Hamilton is an Irish writer, was born and raised in Dublin & no wonder his Irish genes can be seen in the way he put forward his thoughts about independence. And the other two names are like Father of the two countries which is the subject (object) of my sharing & reason is the way things have been happening on the world map recently! Well, I am not an expert on world politics or policies or economics or war but reason of this sharing is an appeal by our Hon PM about Buying Swadeshi goods & obvious the tunes which Hon PM is humming is being chorused by all his disciples i.e. party workers along with State govts which we are witnessing! Joke is, the quotes I used of the rest two greats, Mr Lincoln & Mahatma Gandhi, they both did the same nearly hundred years back for their respective countries & today leaders of both these respective countries are again playing the same song, Deja Wu, is it? While Mr Trump is all guns behind MAGA (Make America Great Again or something, what difference it makes anyway, lol) while our Hon PM has appealed repeatedly to “Use Swadeshi” goods. The only difference is only God knows (which I doubt) what has made Mr Trump suddenly reverse the gears of American philosophy of Openness & Quality in business to Only USA while our PM’s Swadeshi nara (Announcement) is the outcome of Trump's tariff war against our country!

On all such backgrounds, we have Diwali which is a festival of lights & happiness but more than that for the entire country, its Festival of Shopping, benefitting millions of families across the society, making riches richer & poor a shade better! Reason is, for ages Diwali is one festival in this 150 plus crore population country which is celebrated in all regions & States merging the boundaries of castes & religions which otherwise are impenetrable or bulletproof against any force, well one exception is team India’s win in the Cricket tournament! During this period everybody shops something as per his or her budget & the list covers home utensils like Broom (zadu) to IPhone 17 Pro as per the need & budget of respective person. And this shopping is for rituals, to make your loved ones happy & for commercial gains too (gifting) thus making Diwali a biggest turnover time for the markets of every commodity. And this is where our PM’s appeal for Swadeshi matters most as on the background of the tariff bomb which Trump tatya has ignited on us damaging our exports to USA, our Desi goods need buyers or will need buyers, is my understanding! And this appeal of our Hon PM, made me think about this sharing as Buy Swadeshi or Promote Swadeshi is definitely a good thing for the country but a lot is needed to make it reality, is what I wanted to share.

First & foremost, why people (those who can afford) buy a product which is made in the USA (or out of India) is the key question which our rulers (not just present PM) must have asked themselves decades back! The simple answer is, quality & value for money! This doesn’t mean Indian products are bad; rather where ever handmade things are the subject we beat any country in the workmanship but this is age of machines & technology & that means mass production, where we lack against the outside world! And this is not today when markets are open, our love for foreign stuff is there right from our independence, as check earlier Bollywood movies, the villains are usually involved in smuggling of foreign goods, gold to watches to liquor, we were always fascinated by foreign made things! Today also smuggling is there but when you can openly get Black Label whisky in the shop why to worry about smuggled stuff, right? Problem is in our policies towards the business or production at large & failure of “Ease of Doing Business” named joke! I am sorry but today ask any businessman in any commodity, what is his biggest problem & the answer will be govt policies or dealing with govt named system! I am not blaming any particular govt’s dept but the entire system which wants fruits of an Industry but does nothing to ensure the atmosphere or surroundings necessary for right growth of that fruit, something which we call infrastructure!  May it be Auto Industry or IT industry or Agriculture & even real estate (how can I miss it), show me One Window permission or inaugurated supply of the necessary things like water, roads, electricity & yes, law-enforcement, which plays a vital role in mental peace of personnel working in any production system & you yourself will get the answer!

Here, our farmer’s crops get ruined due to dry drought & due to flooding also, & once in a decade I can understand this happening, but every alternate year crops are getting damaged & yet if we blame nature, then we only are at fault & not nature! And, if this is the case of the farmers then the so-called riches of the society (Industrialist) are also not escaped from the wrath of the system if not nature. Right from not having proper roads for their employees to reach at work places to inadequate basic needs like water supply, every front related to businesses is in problem, is a fact which nobody accepts openly (barring few blue-eyed business houses or people who knows how to mend the system). And if business class has some respect, then the people who are involved in making homes (read as builders) don't even have that respect too, & this is the reason why we are failing to provide affordable homes like the basic thing which is hundred percent Swadeshi! Thank God, the Chinese can’t export land or homes here or else even real estate would have been running for life (which is any way doing for a while)! And the on the top of it our laws & tax systems which includes GST, Income tax & hundred types of local taxes & charges & premiums (visit PMC some-day) & their refund system, well then you will realise may it be making a Wada-Paw or a Car, its equally difficult & to sale it in the local market!

And, last but not the least, aspect of Skill-Development as well attitude of the man-power available for any production as this doesn’t happen overnight. Right from the education system to quality of education to its affordability for the masses, so many factors are involved in developing a skilled workforce, & where are we on this front? This is the reason every boy & girl, whoever can afford talentwise or moneywise is running towards USA, Europe or Singapore as the world doesn’t believe in our education system or what? Agreed in any system employee & employer will always have their grudges against each other but scene in the most businesses/ productions is, if on one side industries are not getting right work force then on other side millions of youngsters are jobless, “Daya, Kuch to Gadbad Hai” (plz google for meaning of the phrase)! At the same time attitude (read as awareness) of our countrymen & women towards this aspect of economy is equally important as when our country is being charged heavily on our exports to USA, masses in our country were queuing in front of Apple stores to book new model of IPhone at its launch, what a contrast! What to buy is very individual subject & I don’t want to enter in it but somewhere please do mind, USA or any western country didn’t become great or developed overnight, it's not just govt’s policies also which made it possible for them, but it's everybody’s efforts to make their respective country great has made it possible! And for that each of us must adopt some discipline & ownership of our work at hand, is my point of sharing!

Well, sorry to darken your mood on the occasion of Diwali but Hon PM sir, please look into all such aspects of the society (I am not saying, just businesses) also, while you appeal our countrymen to buy Swadeshi! Sir, we all want to be independent, we all want our country to be strong & fearless against any trade war of any so-called Super Power Country & most of us are ready to stand & fight & deliver just the way our Army does on the border! And just like the Army, we too need our weapons to fight this war of Swadeshi vs USA, & our weapons are, Infrastructure, Right & Clear Policies, Transparency in Working, Speed of Clearances & a Govt with Attitude to Make/ Build something great! Long back, during China War, our then PM has given us a slogan (nara) “Jay Jwan, jay Kisan;” today, it’s time for a new slogan in continuation of the earlier one i.e. “Jay Kamgar, Jay Karkhandar”! Hon PM Sir, that’s the way by which every working hand will have work & every product made here will have a buyer, as that’s the way to be strong & united country & thanks for your appeal as that’s first step & what better Diwali Gift it can be for the entire country where we share what we make, by virtue of gifting or buying, “Happy Diwali Swadeshiwali”!

MTDC, World Tourism Day & Wildlife Tourism!

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
― Marcel Proust.

“Do go to the forests or else, how you will know what wonderful gift the god has given to mankind, which is our responsibility also”- Me.

Author of the first quote is, Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust was a French novelist, literary critic, and essayist best known for his novel À la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past). And later words are from Me, & they are my feelings not a quote about wildlife tourism, which is the subject of my sharing. Wildlife has not only given me immense joy but it has also given me an opportunity to do my bit for conservation which in turn has given me lots of satisfaction & more than that, by being associated with wildlife, I have got recognition & honour which as a builder I would have never got! I have no shame for being a builder, rather I am proud of it but unfortunately the image of that profession (real estate) is like a Black-Hole (google for meaning) whatever touches it, that thing also gets painted black, so be it! But wildlife, thanks to the recent flood of self-proclaimed wildlifers & photographers, is an in-thing & Me being tagged with it, gets honours also along, this also I accept with same enthusiasm the way I handle taunts for being a builder! Ok, enough of sociology but in such honour, I got a call from MTDC (Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation) which is our State’s official tourism handling agency about sharing my views with their entire team on the occasion of World Tourism Day, which happens to be on 27th Sept!

You can google about MTDC, so you will understand the scale of their operations, with 29 resorts spread all over Maharashtra, it also has 27 restaurants, 3 Adventure sports centres & 25 experiences, which means expeditions & trust me that's a big volume. And then with backing of govt it’s a trusted name for not just the masses but upper classes of the society also & such organization calling me for sharing my views about wildlife tourism is indeed an honour though I was tense a bit as the audience was team of MTDC from all above centres & to address them means I needed to be thorough. The problem with engineering profession is they don’t teach you how to give service while tourism is hundred percent service industry yet with whatever travels I have done for my work but more for wildlife I tried to formulate few pointers & then to go on sharing my views about the same, so will cover in that fashion only…

1.What is tourism or why do people travel?

In any service industry it’s a must to understand the purpose of service as well as what your clients want from that service as then only you can deliver whatever he or she expects from you in a righter way. People travel for many reasons but when we are referring to tourism, it’s not mere travel but the goal in simple words is have a break from routine & some good time spend with self or the company along. This is where tourism is different from business travels or some event-oriented travels or say career related travels. And once we know this then the person coming to any resort of MTDC is here to have some relaxed time so our entire setup should act for this one goal, may it be room service or food or any assistance to the guest, we must try to make the guest feel good & nice so he will come back again!

2. Wildlife Tourism

When the purpose of tourism is wildlife, which is core subject of today’s sharing then this is very recent trend in tourism as there has been famous destinations since long for wildlife across our biodiversity rich country but the tourists there were fix & repeat classes & not the masses, because we haven’t yet understood the potential or true fun of wildlife tourism! Many people know Kanha, Ranthambore, Corbett when it's wildlife tourism, though most of them have never gone there or just a single safari (ride in the forest) type visit, as the first question which many people ask about wildlife is, what to do there! And then for sake of curiosity if some tourists visit the forest but unlike Goa or Dubai, they rarely visit the forests again as the second question is, what to see again at Kanha or Corbet (add Tadoba in the list now), we have been there already! These two questions organizations like MTDC need to take as the biggest challenge in front of entire wildlife tourism as if we can answer these questions & promote them in the right way then wildlife tourism is a treasure which will never go dry but we must make masses aware about it. As in the wildlife, not just every day but every morning, afternoon & evening is new & can give us immense joy or pleasure which are the two main reasons for which we travel as tourism, but most of us are ignorant about this aspect of wildlife tourism! For e.g. I have been visiting places like Kanha & Tadoba for the last twenty years & each time I am more excited to visit them & come back rejuvenated as well with some new knowledge also! So, MTDC via its existing resorts as well as using the media can take on this aspect about awareness regarding wildlife tourism, as there lies the future of revenue also!

3. Identifying Wildlife Tourism Destinations

Our Maharashtra State is blessed with such a wide range of biodiversity (wildlife) that very few States in the entire country can match us on this front. Right from the Central Indian forests like Tadoba to hilly forests of Melghat to evergreen forests of Pench, we have Grasslands in Pune & Solapur & dry forests in Marathwada as well western ghats & Sahyadrian forests in western part of State & we have coastal forests as well with 700km coastline at our service! In short, practically we have some type or many types of forest in nearly every district of which MTDC must take advantage & identify such spots & make resorts there. This will make a two-fold impact, one is revenue increase with low investments as in many places land is available at cheaper rate in comparison to established wildlife centres & other is this way the locals will get earnings which in turn will help to reduce migration of people from these places to the cities! At the same time this will be indirectly a protection to the existing endangered wildlife as all these people involved along with MTDC in wildlife tourism will become protectors of the forests which we have witnessed in & around Tadoba! And this will create more options for the tourists at lower costs, which again is a major aspect of the tourism industry.

4. Encashing the Exiting Wildlife Centres

MTDC was first to enter Tadoba, today which is probably on the top of every wildlife tourist’s list with its resort at Moharli & same is with Melghat in Chikhaldara. When there was no option for accommodations in these places it was MTDC which provided that option but then barring extensions of existing resorts nothing has been done later & while other private players which includes big chains along with individual investors took advantage of popularity of wildlife tourism at Tadoba MTDC’s share in tourism got reduced. When MTDC opened its resort at Moharli in Tadoba there were only 3 gates to enter into the forests & today there are 22 gates for entering in Tadoba but MTDC still has only the same one resort. It must take lead & have its satellite resorts on all sides of Tadoba as this will increase in revenue of MTDC at the same time it will provide earning to more locals as well value for money option to the tourists which at present are paying highly for the accommodations to the private players which operates only for profits! This approach also must be implemented at all such wildlife destinations!

5. Wildlife Tourism & Infrastructure & MTDC’s Role

The important (or weakest) factor in wildlife tourism is, as most of these spots are remote & cut off from urban facilities the infrastructure which is an essential aspect for tourism & is either missing or is poor at wildlife destinations. And this is why many tourists refrain from repeating the trips at wildlife spots. And obviously as tourism itself is a service industry but to train the staff is a big headache & then to make them visit & stay at these places is a real challenge where MTDC can make a difference as it has govt’s backing. MTDC can take lead & start training institutes at District level all over the State in collaboration of local or central professional institutes so staff of all types i.e. from cook to waiters to janitors will be available & it will not only help in getting local youngsters earning avenues by skill development it will reduce the overheads burden also of the resorts, thus we can lower the tariffs, means more tourists! At the same time take example of forests such as Tadoba, Pench, Nagzira & Umred Karhandala which are 90km to 100 km distance from Nagpur where most tourists come as a connecting hub for wildlife tourism. But connectivity from Nagpur to all these places is an issue & the only rational way is private taxis which costs a lot, breaking the budget for a family of four people. Here again, MTDC can take lead & by joining hands with State Transport can arrange an AC Bus Shuttle to all these destinations from Nagpur, thrice a day at least. This will definitely help tourists in saving money as well as comfort level also which is an important aspect in tourism. Last but not least, today costliest aspect in wildlife tourism is Safari tickets & charges, here too MTDC being a govt establishment must tie up with forest dept & get own quota for 15 to 20 peoples mid-size vehicle for safari, which will definitely act as a boon for pockets of middle-class families. Unfortunately, wildlife tourism especially at popular destinations like Tadoba & Ranthambore has been only for rich people, is a fact with the charges of every factor related to it skyrocketing & which is actually cutting off  the masses from this very important segment of tourism. This is restricting common people to visit wildlife destinations thus not only affecting entire economy around these places but keeping large part of the society unaware about importance of the wildlife itself & is a great threat to the forests because you don’t care about the things which you don’t know exists in the first place, that’s why wildlife tourism is so much important & role of MTDC in it!

 This all, only MTDC can do & strike a win-win situation for itself as well for the wildlife though I know it’s a long shot & for many it will be “Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapane” (plz google) but if MTDC won’t do it then who will, is the question I will ask to conclude my sharing!

Irresponsible Urban Planning & Fate of Pune Region !!

 






                                      






--

“To say you have no choice is to relieve yourself of responsibility.”
― Patrick Ness.

“The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.”
― 
Steve Maraboli.

Steve Maraboli has electrified, inspired, and entertained a wide range of audiences in over 30 countries with his unique style of bridging cutting edge Behavioural Science & such. Patrick Ness FRSL is an American-British author, journalist, lecturer, and screenwriter. Born in the United States, presently he lives in England. I always wonder about the diversity of thoughts & ideas in the USA, maybe that’s why they are the Land of Opportunities (well, at least till Trump Raaj, lol)! The quotes are about responsibility & the subject is not Forest (definitely not Tadoba), not Traffic or any such thing but about our urban policies or say responsibilities & many of us doesn’t even know what it means as Irresponsible Urban Planning (I too don’t claim I know, disclaimer) yet we all suffer every day because of it, that’s why thought of taking this topic. As usual, newspapers (I do read) & one message from a civil engg student Arwind Kadapure of CoEP about civic issues & their willingness to tackle the same, is the cause of this sharing (read as frustration). The returning monsoons are creating havoc in rural parts of our State & if the fields are getting flooded with water, then our cities (now as Smart City Mission is wrapped, so can’t even say Smart Cities; sarcasm!) are flooded with vehicles & outcome is the same, chaos! With due respect I am not comparing traffic jams or vehicle problems with farmer’s problems, the comparison scale is only to show the damage to both segments & cause also is the same, irresponsible planning of infrastructure! And as I am not agriculture expert (nor I am urban expert also but at least I see these issues around & is part of it) but I have been in rural parts & come from one such in Vidarbha though city life I live daily & my profession also deals with it directly, so can say few words about it!

Ok, the news was about the mess (sorry that’s the most decent word I could use) of so-called infrastructure especially around Pune city, more specifically the newly (that also is old now) merged 33 villages in PMC (Pune Municipal Corporation) which actually are already suburbs of Pune & few such which are not yet merged in PMC or PCMC & behold, the world-famous Hinjewadi is one of them. The rains caused disruption in electric supply, road network, created flood like situation & even water supply issues, to such an extent that few of the IT companies threatened to quit the Pune region. On top of that there was news about many of the road infra projects (flyovers connection to these suburbs) are not getting into operation only because big leaders of ours have no time for their inauguration, which added to fury of the citizens. And then the Hon Supreme Court cleared the local public body’s election process & every political leader suddenly realized these infrastructural problems to the citizens of Pune & started visiting these localities, for obvious reasons! Suddenly Twitter (now X ), Insta & FB accounts of political leaders are flooded more than the rains with reels about how they are meeting people & taking their complaints & sorting them right on the spot vis mobile call to the authorities (it's good entertainment though) & its such visits of our leaders (read as rulers) which is my subject of sharing! As such trips, sorry visits, whether they have helped in solving citizen’s problems or not that time will tell but they definitely have exposed our (read as govt’s) irresponsible approach towards the city & entire infrastructure because we are irresponsible in our urban planning itself!

If you are confused with this IUP (irresponsible urban planning) term then let me tell you what happened during one of such visits from a high-profile self-proclaimed Man of Action leader from Pune region only. When he called to the authorities about agitation shown over residents of Sus / Mhalunge (western suburbs of Pune) then the reply from the officers was plans of the new projects are sanctioned by PMRDA (plz google) but responsibility of providing infrastructure to these projects is of PMC! The leader was zapped by this answer (I am more zapped as he didn’t know this basic fact before visiting such locations, anyways) the leader fumed & announced this ambiguity will be dealt & now the plans of the new projects in these villages will be sanctioned by PMC only! Great move, but two points (rather many), what difference this makes that who passes the plan, as citizen’s problem is not plan passing but they need water, drainage, garbage, roads (I don’t even dare to mention now public transport, education & public health too, are part of citizen’s needs) & uninterrupted electric supply! Who is going to provide that & the answer with the authorities is simple, the developer is supposed to provide that & then dashing leader instructs (read as, orders) take action on these builders, stop their works, simple, problem solved, media also get breaking news & people are happy!  For once, ever someone has thought what is all this tamasha (sorry again the best gentle term I can think) going on, that too regarding development of not just a city but entire region which we are looking at is, the future of the State in terms of economy, is my subject of sharing!

First of-all, may it be PMC, PCMC & now PMRDA, the govt keeps on sleeping over the delays of making DP (plz google) of all these establishments & don’t do anything to control the growth while the DP is in making & then one fine morning cancels the DP again without thinking (needless to say) what will be next. In the entire world, planning is about making Plan-A & then keeping ready Plan-B & Plan-C if Plan-A doesn’t work but the joke with our urban planning is, we don’t have Plan-A in the first place, now what to do! And this is what I call IUP (refer first para) & this is the key to all our civic problems which we are not accepting & are busy in finding solutions which are applying bandages on the skin while fact is, the bone itself has been fractured, of the body names city! At the same time, we have not thought (cared to think) that growth won’t stop for your DP as because of our failure on planning front people keep migrating to Pune region as here at least they get a job to earn their bread & butter & these all migrants need home which eventually needs other infrastructure. So, whether you make DP, don’t make DP, cancel DP, make TP schemes, or delay them, this all won’t stop making people to shift their base to Pune region (or any such region) & chaos will keep on multiplying is a fact unless we improve our urban planning & its execution. And even when we cancel DP of PMRDA, we make jokes like merged villages & outside area by applying two different rules of plan passing for them, the list of our irresponsible errors is increasing faster than growth of Congress Grass (plz google for meaning) & outcome is, suffering of citizens on civic issues. We plan to build two ring roads at a time & then we reduce width of one of the ring roads & again as DP is cancelled the plan passing authority is in question what width to be considered for this second ring road now i.e. 110 m or 65 m, making future of thousands of projects along this ring road not just hanging but dark, for no fault of theirs & then we say illegal constructions are increasing! Do mind, whenever the laws are wrong & impractical, crimes are bound to increase & for that the govt is more at blame than the criminals, which is what has been happening on our urban planning front! And now govt is saying Structured Planning (new term, I also don’t know what it meant, hope govt knows) for first stage as DP of PMRDA in which basic reservations like Roads, STP (drainage treatment plants) etc will be finalized & in second stage finer details will be finalized! Great, just great as I have never seen or heard of such a way of planning that too for an area more than 5000sq km & what is the fate of all the lands till this two tyred planning gets through, has anybody thought of it? At the same time, what about the needs of the already existing citizens in these suburbs, what target we are setting for them as what’s their fault that they don’t have a clear idea about who is their governing body, right? Finally, while I was completing this sharing (for now) the powerful action minister told to the media that Baramati (a taluka place in Pune) will also be part of PMRDA! Well, with all due respect to good intentions of the minister sir, urban planning doesn’t go by impulse & emotions but with meticulous study & research of the region & then such decisions are made or else we are experiencing the merge, demerge & cancel game which only leads to total mess of the planning on the ground! Oh, yes, one more last, nobody is uttering a word about Water supply & provision for the same for the population in the entire PMRDA as well as merged 33 villages which now are part of PMC as nobody either cares for it or realizes the importance of it!

Need of the time is, form a special task force of competent people, & give them a dead line task of making DP of Pune region, & at the same time make specific guidelines for sanctioning as well governing authorities for the same & monitor all these developments by one single body, which itself is missing at present! And please do it fast because time doesn’t stop for your planning, which is what a good planner always knows! To conclude I will share a similar story from the movie Deewar which is probably one of the most famous dialogues in the history of Bollywood…

In the movie Deewar, Bachchan teasingly says to his Inspector brother Shashi Kapoor (that time even Police Inspectors were supposedly poor), aaj mere paas Bungala hai, Gadi hai, Daulat hai, Shoharat hai, Ijjat hai, tere paas kya hai? And we all know the iconic reply by Shahshi Kapoor, but going with today’s genre, a meme is trending on the social media, that Shahshi Kapoor also replies, Mere paas bhi Bungala hai, Gadi hai, Daulat hai, Ijjaat hai,! On this, Bachchan says, Ayae, fir Maa kiske paas hai!!

On the same line today, PMRDA & PMC, both will say, mere paas Planning hai, System hai, Minister hai, Budget bhi hai, but citizens will ask, Bhai fir Infrastructure ki Responsibility kiske pass hai, adios with a laughter (what else we can do)!
