I agree that power shortage is real, but what PM Modi is trying to achieve is spreading electricity to all parts of India.There are still millions in India without access to power, so the scheme is about giving them an electricity connection.
> It remains to be seen where the power to 'electrify' all households come from and who'll actually foot the bill for the 'free' connections and the lifetime free electricity.'
I don't think the later part of this statement is true, govt is only providing free connection not free electricity.
Also, India is 3rd largest producer of power after China and USA, however it stands 105 when it comes to per capita consumption. The problem in India is not power supply, its the transmission, India hasn't invested much on transmission lines, as a result its paying the price now.
>>I agree that power shortage is real, but what PM Modi is trying to achieve is spreading electricity to all parts of India.
How do you spread non-existent electricity uniformly to all parts of India. Last time I checked 0/anything is 0. Unless you are saying the prime minister has found a way to defeat laws of mathematics or can magically pull out energy out of thin air.
Frankly speaking I wouldn't be surprised if you believe in this too. Given how much this government is about Marketing.
>>so the scheme is about giving them an electricity connection.
The scheme is nothing. They announce these schemes every few years and then junk them, because of the infeasibility of executing projects of this scale.
>>The problem in India is not power supply, its the transmission.
Its more on the generation part. Rolling power cuts are common during summer even in cities.

I don't know what part of the infrastructure is to blame in India, but rolling power cuts can be caused by all parts, not just a lack on the generator side.
Without a sufficient transmission infrastructure, it doesn't matter if the generators even provides 100% of the required energy, some of it will go to waste (or at best: they run at fractional load) and you will still see blackouts simply because the generated energy isn't ending up where it's needed.
My respect for the community just grows day after day!
And, I'm happy that you feel better now, I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands who are touched by your story. Your story certainly helps them believe that it is possible to get out of depression and be happy.
Absolutely.Determination , hard work and commitment.This is what college taught, it doesn't matter how smart you are , if you don't work hard . It will all go waste.
unfortunately its only half true. i know bunch of people that were lazy like a beach bum and got rich whether because of work of other people or because of luck.
the sad truth is, that there are no set in stone rules how to become successful. perhaps its good, because otherwise if everyone would get successful, nobody would be successful.
think it this way: imagine solid set of rules how to hit jackpot in lotto. if everyone would read those rules and applied, then everyone would win... a dollar.
yes, hard work is important. yes, who you know is important. yes, idea and execution is important. yes, luck and timing is important too. but deliberating that you cant success without this or that is a pure waste of time.
Yup. Since you cannot (as far as I know) influence luck or good fortune, your only option if you want to succeed is to hedge your bets and make as great an intelligent effort as possible. I'm still struggling with the 'intelligent' part...
There is so much talk about SPYW and its evil implications. If google just adds a new tab , saying social search , wont that solve the problems. And if twitter wants to share its tweets , fine , lets get twitter on board as well. And I dont think facebook will let google access its data , and it might still say its evil.
