Engineered Development

By Rajesh Pradhan

Aug. 15, 2008

I do not know which engineering school Nitish Kumar went to and what degree he received, but it is amazing to know that he feels that development implies construction and construction implies engineers. Therefore, according to him, everything in Bihar would be fine if he inducted hundreds of engineers.

All said and done development implies growth and equity. Which means development implies culturally-sensitive investment where benefits trickle up or trickle down.

If you look around the immense poverty in small towns, villages, and remote areas of Bihar, you will understand that having more engineers is hardly the answer. This state of affairs is so entrenched for generations that political leaders need to fix the past before promising any new future, with engineers or otherwise.

 

Comments:
Respectable chief minister of Bihar is doing a great job along with other ministers. He seems to be very proactive. In stead of appreciation, you are criticizing... it will be good if you state some idea how to take care about the people residing in village under poverty.

Nitish is a qualified engineer from BCE (Bihar college of engineering) Patna. He is an electrical engineer.

Jai Bihar...Jai Bharat.

We are looking forward a developed Bihar with positive attitude all around in Bihar. - Dheeraj Kumar, New Jersey, USA - Aug. 18, 2008
