[Assam] Hamilton Court

[umesh sharma]

The govt should provide for the people. Thats what the govt is for. If private individuals or corporations take it up on their own - then is it back to the good ol' days of East India Company running India?

Is that what we Indians want? That make it the job of the corporations to run the country's infrastructure. We citizens want to avoid all duties and only talk about rights. 

Mridul-da what are your plans to do something for these "displaced" people - I ask since you stay in Delhi ( I presume).

  The following is directed to all our friends here:-
   
  ? Are the land deals of the real estate business aboveborad? In India, some governments are taking over land from small landowners for pittance called compensation on the plea of developing SEZs. Then, such SEZs do not come up. When the dispossessed demand the land back, they are not returned their land and instead those are handed over to real estate business for considerations other than those that are reflected.
   
  VP Singh too raised the question of allottment of land to the Ambanis at lopsidedly low prices near Delhi in a TV program recently.
   
  This is what is called 'private enterprise' in India and of course in Russia or any other countries where suave economic extractions give way to the extra-economic ones that may include intimidation, threat, murder etc (A recent Delhi killing of an encounter specialist is a pointer). It seems Balzac is still not irrelevant about crime behind great fortunes. You can be comfortable with honest money, but not that rich anyday, apologists notwithstanding.

  Yes, they (DLF, UNITECH etc.) are doing some work but those are not proportional to the money they are making. Further, in almost 50% areas, major constructions are going on and the migrating labour poulation along with others are putting a heavy burden on the limited infrastructure. So, the population growth out numbers the facility requirement. Even I know of many NGOs, many individuals, who are also contributing for providing better life & education to the poor. If the Govt. make some social obligations (school, roads, health care for the migrant labour population working under these companies) mandatory for these companies while granting permissions to their ventures, the situation will definitely improve.

I did a little checking on Hamilton Court and its developer DLF Properties. If
what they claim they are doing for corporate responsibility, they are on the
right track and there should be more of them. Can we believe what we see on
their website? May be someone from Delhi can tell us.

There should be no shame in their making money from the high income earners,
if they also donate part of it to the community around them.
