BJP Govt.'s Honeymoon seems to be over

It seems that the public at large in HP has realized that their changing the govt. (one time to Congress and the other turn to BJP) is not yielding the desired results. The big promises made at the time of elections remains upto the manifesto and the ground realities remains the same. There are few creative brains those too are not deployed at right places. There is paucity of right people at policy and planning level.
There is no dearth of money with different departments of central govt. There are no worthwhile projects put up for sanctions. The files remains in bureaucratic tangles. Social welfare deptt. of central govt. has abundant budgetary provisions for various schemes. This is just an example. There are many departments with huge budgetary provisions but there are no takers from HP.
Claims of creating employment to youth in new industries are exaggerated. About 12 Lac educated unemployed youth are feeling frustrated.
It is high time that the govt. takes effective and innovative steps to engage this asset, create and find avenues for this unemployed force. They will not only contribute to the GDP of the state but also be inspiration to ever increasing peers and youngsters.

Govt. of HP should try and get most of the funds from central govt. schemes. A separate pool of intellectuals from respective fields should be deployed to identify and get such assistance.

General electorate is getting fed up. It is high time for the present establishment to act.

Govt of HP not doing enough for Tourism

Govt of HP is not doing enough for the tourism in the State. The natural resources are huge. It needs to exploit the resources. The flora and fona of Himachal is unmatched in the hill tourism. It can be compared to any good destination in world. If late Ch. Bansi Lal can do it in a state like Haryana which had no natural tourist attractions, surely HP can exploit its virgin tourist destinations. There are places like Janjehali valley, Chuhar valley, Bharmour, Naina Devi (Sarkidhar) 7 lakes-Rewalsar, few other unexplored places in Kangra, Hamirpur and Kullu.
Govt can seek help of specialists and professionals. Locals can be involved by educating them and this sector can become a major employment generating venture for the huge unemployed educated youth of the state. Some incentives and getting funding through banks etc will do the trick. NGO'S can be involved. Cooperatives can be formed for the purpose of small ventures, hotels, resorts, camping sites, tracking places etc..
This will create employment to the surging unemployed young people and boost the economy of the state to a great extent.

Airport for Big Aircraft landing in HP

I appreciate the initiative taken to construct a new airport at Mandi (HP) by Airport Authority of India. This should be taken to logical end. Aircraft carrying high end passengers will give boost to economy and will create direct and indirect employment for about 10000 unemployed youth. High end tourists will bring revolution in tourism. I have been also fighting for this for some time now.
All is well that ends well. Govt. should take this up at the highest level to take it to a logical end and complete the airport within next two years.
My best wishes.
