These projects take more than 5 years to complete. The political life of a government is only 5 years. Why should present day politician take such steps which may benefit the next lot after the period of 5 years. Big thing can be initiated by bigger people only. Where are they ?

I think this is not correct perception. Such opinions could be out of disillusionment. The long gestation periods of developmental projects have deprived large areas with downstream development which causes disillusion in the minds of common people. The river linking project is a “giant” in terms of its layout and funding besides center-state politics.
We need this project, in fact we are late by about 40-45 years.
The Govt. perhaps has not forgotten it, but the political dimension outweighs the designed objectives of the project and this is the reason it has remained dormant.
India as a sub-continent needs it and needs it fast, it would be a technological wonder for re-locating excess discharges to areas deficit in water, with it drought and floods would become events of history.
The nation has many problems like literacy, poverty, shelter, health-hygiene etc. besides civic amenities inclusive of transportation, communication etc. Each is a priority item and has common linkages to many of the associated or ancillary problems. We are a poor nation and money has always been in short supply due to our low productivity levels, poor planning and execution of obsolete infra structure etc. Besides corruption for this sorry state of affairs is also selection of poor or in efficient flow sheets and time lines. I think things are changing fast now, I am quite optimist, collectively we would be able to enhance our productivity levels gradually by a little change in our mindset. The change required is to consider it our nation and public property. It is wrong to say that the Govt. has to do it. We are the Govt., the citizens of this free nation are the Govt. The preamble of our constitution says so – “We the people of India…….”
Remember, If we want our nation to flourish then we have to work and work more and bring the change that we want and we aspire. The linking of river basin is not alone a project that needs peoples will for planning and execution. Linking of river basins is a highly technical subject and needs expertise of geologist, civil engineers, surveyors, hydrologists, environmentalists, planners besides funding sources etc. in an integrated way. We have all the expertise and technology minus the funds. May be soon we would be able to interlace this project with other developmental schemes which are being executed in isolation. I think a holistic developmental programming would be required to implement river basin linking project, it should not be planned in isolation. The linking has to be integrated with existing and future infra structural development or else we would end up in a huge wasteful expenditure of public money.

These projects should be taken up at the local level , with initiatives from the people. I have lost faith in the politicians for doing any worth while good to the people. The time has come for the people to do direct action to ameliorate their own suffering in their own way.

The policies of government is not based on priorities. The apparent need of the people keeping in mind future is never the policy of governent. Its time that people have some power to force the government to attend priorities.

Indian government is more concerned about elections.They spend money for the elections but never try to set up projects, because they are not benefited by it.

They forget... or better they put those priorities aside... because of what the government sees as other more important things to accomplish.
