VVIP Convoy on Roads

Many times we seen that traffic is stopped on roads as some VIP or VVIP convoy is about to cross the road, first a pilot car comes to check security and after that whole group of cars passes and this whole process takes enough time to create big traffic jam. Today I seen a video at NDTV.com that BUS had been included in the fleet of Indian President Smt. Pratibha Patil and the initiative had been taken by Madam President herself to reduce the expenses and less burden for public. It will not only reduce the expenses of VVIP Convoy but also reduce the consumption of petrol and diesel on roads during traffic jams. If all other VVIP like Prime Minister, Opposition Leader, Cabinet Minister, State Ministers , Chief Ministers etc. On any given day if 150 VVIP moves on roads and approx. 2000 vehicles stopped for say 2 minutes on average for every convoy, then the wastage of petrol will be 225 ml. per vehicle and total wastage is 450 Litre for every VVIP.

For 150 VVIP it will be 67500 litre and cost of 67500 litre petrol (40%) and diesel (60%) is Rs.1336500 + Rs.1350000 = Rs.2686500 Wastage of One Day.

Jam in minutes	Vehicles stopped	Wastage per vehicle	Total wastage	No. of VVIP*	Total fuel wastage per day	Total amount of wastage per day	Wastage in 1 year
2	2000	225 ml.	450 litre	150		67500

Per day fuel Wastage for one VVIP	Approx. no. of VVIP moving	Total fuel wastage in a day	Total cost of per day wastage (60% diesel + 40% petrol)
450 litre	150	67500	2686500

And if this much of oil is saved regularly then it will also helpful in reducing prices of oil according to demand & supply rule which furthers brings down prices of other things.

Whole year wastage will be approx. Rs. 100 Crore which can be saved easily and other facts like burden to public will be also less if some more means and ways looked into.

All figures are approximate and do not indicate anything in particular.

Real Estate Prices

In last three – four years prices of property have increased many folds and reached a level that EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category flats constructed by government are out of reach of a common man. A middle service class person can not afford to buy the EWS category flat than how the poor peoples will purchase same. In previous decade government generally constructs the houses through Housing Board Department but now government also constructs flats because of increasing pressure of population density and increasing inflation. Private builders are earning too much of money by purchasing land at cheap prices and selling flats at very-very high prices. All around the Delhi or we can say in National Capital Region most of big companies are engaged in constructing many projects for different types of flats and selling them at good profit margin ratios. Companies are making fool to customer by even promising luxury facilities but actually delivering only low standard facilities. Cost of single bedroom/ studio apartments are approx. Rs.15-20 lacs depending upon location, city and facilities offered. If a person is earning approximately Rs. Ten thousand per month how he will purchase the above flats even if he takes loan he is eligible for approximately 30 to 40 percent of his salary i.e. Rs. Four lacs maximum and he have to repay the loan as per month loan installment of approximately Rs.1000/- for every lac he/she borrows or approximately Rs.4000 in above mentioned case. In last 6 months even home loan interest rates have also move upwards. So what will happen with the projects which are selling flats in the range of 50 – 70 lacs and even more than that and about villas I can not make a comment.

In 2001-02 prices of houses in my area constructed by housing board is four to five lacs but now the rates are 13-14 lacs.

The reason of high prices is due to commonwealth games in Delhi, Construction of Metro rail, Black money investment by Politicians, Bureaucrats and Businessman’s.

Year 2075

Whenever I think about future the first things comes to my mind is competition between India, Pakistan and China. If we estimate according to current parameters available to us we found that India and China are growing economy of the world. Although Pakistani economy is not at par with these two economy but future is unpredicted and I hope if Political, Law & Order situation got stability in coming decade than Pakistan also have the dearth of resources under its knees beat these two economies as India young work force will be old after 2-3 decades but if Political and Civil situation doesn't improves in Pakistan, it is hard to predict the scenario for Pakistan. India also dealing with many problems like inflation, unrest in North-East, Terrorism, J&K Problem and disputes of borders with China & Pakistan and problem on Bangaldesh border. China also facing problems like Tibet Issue, Inflation, Border Issues with India, etc.

All these countries also face natural calamities problems like flood, storm, earthquake, tsunami, etc. from time to time. Generally India face problem of flood every year in many of its states.

Overall India's future looks good because of its peace based policy and recent initiative for trade cooperation with China despite non faithfulness of China and border issues, Co-operation with USA for Indo-US nuclear deal if successful will also provide India a source of energy for its growing energy needs to maintain its development.

Indo-China Relations

Relations of India and China are bitter since the war between two countries in 1962 but currently both countries are pursuing for economic, diplomatic and trade relations. Although many issues surround the relations of these countries like finger point area in Sikkim, Indian Territory in Arunachal Pradesh, border area in Kashmir and issue of Tibet. I think India should be very careful when dealing with China as we can’t forget the incidence of ‘Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai’. According to me India have made many compromises on international issues and we can see the same in the case of China.

Both countries should start with trade relations and follows other solutions suggested by experts, as India and China are the emerging economies and co-operation between these two will bring betterment and prosperity to our world.

Price Hike in Petroleum Products

As we all knows that recently government increased price of Petrol, Diesel and LPG cooking gas due to increase in international market from last many months and increasing pressure of Oil Companies as the companies are going through very rough phase. The question arise here is how this price hike will affect the common man especially the middle class of our semi-urban and urban cities who is already under tremendous pressure due to high inflation rate. Prices of all basic commodities have increased in last two-three months. Even though the government is planning to implement the sixth pay commission norms but it is not finalized yet and what will happens with peoples working in private sector.

One of the factors behind increase in prices of crude oil at international level is trading/future trading of the same according to views of some experts. But I don’t understand why all the governments are not taking steps to stop/ban/control trading of same.

I think government should have control the prices of LPG because it is a essential basic commodity and must start the research of alternate energy sources on urgent basis to save the nation from future crisis. In alternate sources we should not depend only on nuclear energy but some new initiatives need to be taken care.
