The current state of affairs happening across the State is dismal and the proposed government’s objective towards achieving the ten billion dollar economic dream still seems a little unrealistic of many factors and reasons best known to some within the government machinery.
Major critical sectors ranging from healthcare, poor penetration of IT education, rural development, lack of housing, land and water scarcity including bombed out roads all of these portray a very different picture to anyone who has an understanding of the State.
The officials manning the various crucial departments have no idea of finding long term solution but are good in applying just temporal cosmetic solutions thinking that it will solve the first five years of problems which is absolutely wrong.
Temporary solution in management terms is called recourse improvisation which is not helping the unemployed towards long term neither are we even an investment friendly state for reasons best known to pressure groups and those in the government.
Another factor is lack of the ready availability of local skilled workers which is crucial in the industrial, farm, real estate and construction sector. If we talk of our roads, the less we speak the better. Let tourists see the state of our highways and then possibly we can all think of achieving the ten billion dollar economic progress.
