Improvement in infrastructure must therefore be an important component of any regionally inclusive development strategy. • Accelerated development of Hydro-Power potential is critical for our economy……. • Even in some of the States with comparatively small geographical area, the levels of development are very uneven, especially in the Himalayan region of Nagaland….Uttarakhand. • Border areas should have a high standard of living so that they serve as a demographic buffer. Infrastructure should not only cater to the current needs of these areas but also include scope for further expansion. EAC to the PM (Review of Economy) The ICOR has shot up from its historical level of around 4 in 2007-08 to much higher level (Page No- 2, Point – 8). • Bottlenecks in infrastructure, particularly Power, as also Roads emerging as a major constraints (Page 14-15, Point-34).. • Capital investment that is dependent on Government decisions, as also that on Government funding, are experiencing difficulties on account of a slowing down in the approval process for projects (Page 14-15, Point-34).. 20 Many Voices Delay in clearing projects especially that of Forest and Environment, is causing delay, time and cost over runs (Page 14-15, Point-34). • If one were to pick up the most important element in play, the Principal source of the problem is the issue of clearances that have stalled projects and undermine conditions for investment and therefore for economic growth going forward. (Page 15, Point-46). MoEF • Declaration of Eco-Sensitive Zones (ESZ) without following the consultative processes declaring large areas as no development zones. • Suspension of Major Hydro –Power Projects on environmental grounds. • Indiscriminate delays and Iarge pendency of Forest land transfer cases of Roads, Drinking Water etc. 21 Situation of Uttarakhand : •Negative Investor sentiment due to an atmosphere of uncertainty created by Notifications under Green Statutes . •Migration of population from Hill Districts to Plain Districts due to non-availability of economic opportunities resulting in demographic vacuum as well as demographic substitution in vulnerable and sensitive border areas.
