  • RRP: Sector Assessment (Summary): Transport (Rail and Urban)
    Bengaluru Metro Rail Project (RRP IND 53326) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): TRANSPORT (RAIL AND URBAN) A. Sector Road Map I. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Urban transport in India. Efficient and sustainable urban transport systems and mobility are critical for the smooth functioning of India’s cities. Although national population growth has slowed to 1.02% per year in 2019 from its peak at 2.33% in 1974,1 the urban population continues to grow rapidly. It is estimated that more than 50% of Indians will be living in urban areas by 2050, compared with 34% in 2018.2 Growing urbanization will result in the total number of Indian cities with populations of 1 million or more growing from 19 cities to 71 cities by 2050. About 70% of net new jobs generated by 2030 will be in urban areas.3 2. Rapid urbanization is intensifying demand for urban transport. India continues to rely heavily on private vehicles for urban transport. From 2003 to 2017, the number of total registered vehicles in India increased 318%, from 67 million to 253 million, an annual growth rate of 10%.4 The rapid increase in private vehicles on the roads has led to congestion and severe air pollution, causing serious health problems in many cities. Severe traffic congestion in just four major metropolises— Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai—is estimated to cause $22 billion in economic losses annually.5 Consequently, the government is strongly committed to promoting public mass transport. Public transportation infrastructure in India needs high levels of investment and massive upgrading to spur a shift away from private vehicles to more sustainable forms of transport.

  • The Pioneer Prime Minister Atal
    Year 2002 Vajpayee Doublespeak 'GUJARAT BOOSTED SECULARISM DEBATE' December 26 2002 Source: The Pioneer Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee feels that the energy that had erupted in Gujarat needs to be properly channelised. He also thinks that the Gujarat outcome will help the nation understand secularism in the proper perspective. "Ab Shabdon ke sahi aarth lagaye ja rahe hain," Mr Vajpayee said in an interview with Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar, hinting that the true meaning of these words was being understood now. "Secularism had become a slogan. No attempt was being made to probe what the real form of secularism should be. It was not being debated. Little wonder, we remain fiercely secular for 364 days and launch an election campaign from temples on the 365th day," he remarked. "Unhe Deviji ke mandir mein puja karke abhiyan chalane mein koi aapatti nahin hoti," Mr Vajpayee quipped. He was probably taking a dig at Congress President Sonia Gandhi who had launched her election campaign in Gujarat after offering puja at Ambaji temple. He burst into laughter when asked if his Government, too, was surviving because of "Deviji", hinting that he faced no real threat from the Opposition as long as Mrs Sonia Gandhi remained the Congress president. Asked if the Gujarat episode would help him keep the country united, Mr Vajpayee said, "Ye jo urja nikali hai, use santulit rakhna hoga. Aur ise is yukti se nirman mein lagana hoga jisase hamare jeewan ke jo mulya hain, unki rakhsa ho sake (The energy that has been generated should be kept in balance.
