If we look back in the 1950s,our approach was not wrong.The five years plans were well studied program and gave us fruitful results.But we missed to address some vital problems.
1.The British red tapism was and still is a mess.If you want to build an Industry in your town one file travels miles from table to table within a department for years. Ultimately the Industrialist gets fed up and moves his industry to some other county.
2.The first problem takes us to another severe disease,the great corruption.More tables,more delay and more bribery.
3.Now,when the files have been passed you have gone to the locality for next step of your industry,here comes the members of the local political party,forcing you to buy materials from their companies,hiring incompetent workforce from their party.If you fail to satisfy them not a single brick moves.
Health and education sector is bound to improve if our Industrial growth meets proper results. Dr.Bidhan Chandra Ray,a great visionary of this century developed two Industrial zones in Bengal in 1960s. Today,even after enough political mess and lack of administrative competence these two zones are still delivering great results in the region.
There are thousand other reasons for why we never could meet our goals what we have dreamed one day unless we change our attitude and study our present deadlocks. That is why this is not time to match the Chinese.They have their own problems with different methods to deal with and we have ours.
