India is already on its way to becoming a developed country. However, certain things are still lacking. Although, today the government of India may claim to be an emerging super power but the reality is quite different from what the government of India or the media of India portray to the world.

Eliminate Poverty

India may have progressed on paper and on screen but do we see the progress on the streets of India? Don't we still see people living in poverty. There are millions of people still surviving in India on an income of less than one dollar a day. India can never be considered a developed country unless and until the poverty, hunger and pain of the poor on the streets and those living in the slums is curbed.

Improve infrastructure

1) Roadways“If you want to be rich, you have to build roads!” Is an old Chinese Proverb. If you look at any developed country today, there is one thing they all have in common. Roads. Not two-bit highways like we have, but real 4 lane expressways stretching hundreds of kilometers without touching any major city and with real multiple grade interchanges and entry/exit points. Development does not bring roads, roads bring development. Infrastructure heaven.We have both type of roads. Good and bad ones. Turning bad ones to good will help our cause.

2) RailwaysA look at the Indian Railways will show you why biggest isn’t always best. A well-developed rail network is the hallmark of any developed country, one which allows people to travel in dignity, comfort, punctuality and space. And there will be no Tatkal system as it simply won’t be required.

3) City PlanningOur cities are usually dumps and masses of humanity. Imagine our cities being planned and built to put Singapore and Shanghai to shame with wide, clean, open roads and surroundings with plenty of open living space, cobblestoned piazzas, squares, huge parks, walkways, sidewalks, lakes with sparking water, spotless buildings and dustless atmosphere… Just think any city in the developed world.

Better Bureaucracy

One of the main things that will change the face of a country is a bureaucracy that works for it like a well oiled machine, and not a set of holier-than-thou uber-citizens who sit behind grilled and dusty ancient counters partially hidden by mounds of papers treating their salary-payers as dirt and work only at the smell of minted paper.

Better Transport facilities

Mobility will liberate India. Metros in all cities will be linked to mobility hubs where road, rail, water and air converge. This seamlessly integrated public connectivity will ensure that you will reach wherever you should in no time.

Clean rivers

It is not just the Ganga that is being choked to death. Look at any stream of water flowing through any of our cities. These will usually be stretches of tepid, stinking, toxic and stagnant black water. Now compare that with a river flowing through a city in a developed country.
