Haphazard distribution of population and the population explosion consumes lot of economy in the name of infrastructure, this leads the governments to fail in providing quality infrastructure with long life span to all the people of its country and thus we lose lot of money in this way. Poor infrastructure has got its own disadvantages in terms of maintenance and it leads to lot of accidents and may consume many lives in various ways through trauma, infection, pollution and so on. In this chapter some of the facts and figures related to the infrastructure are mentioned. As the population increased, the need of infrastructure increased many folds. This type of disproportionate increase in the demand on infrastructure is due to haphazard distribution of population, population distribution in small hamlets away from the main stream due to various causes like caste, but the government need to provide all the basic infrastructure even to the small population of 200 or 300 people with 30 to 40 houses like good connecting road, good school building with all the needed facility, electricity connection with power station and maintenance infrastructure, water supply system and its maintenance infrastructure, revenue department, public work department and so on. Thus with the increase in the population and increase in the number of villages without any plan for future infrastructure made the government to invest more money on the infrastructure, but increase in the number of villages made the large fund to divide in to smaller and smaller amount, which lead to poor quality in infrastructure. Poor quality infrastructure lead to accidents, more money on maintenance, more waste generation, pollution and so on. So to decrease the investment on infrastructure and to increase the quality - safety - durability of the infrastructure, it is very much essential to decrease the number of villages and make the people to live together. Making the people to live together is not the simple thing to do, caste - practices - god - diet come in the way. So the leaders of the world need to think seriously to save this earth, to stop converting the agriculture lands and forest lands in to concrete forest - high ways - train tracks and so on, where these things will lead to deforestation, desertification, pollution, global warming and threat to the biosphere. In this chapter some of the facts and figures related infrastructures are mentioned.

Infrastructure.
7.1. F&F - Development of infrastructure was completely in the
hands of the public sector and was plagued by corruption,
bureaucratic inefficiencies.
[Infrastructure
Developmentof infrastructurewascompletelyinthe handsof the public sector and was plagued by
corruption,bureaucraticinefficiencies, urban-bias and an inability to scale investment. India's low
spendingonpower,construction,transportation,telecommunicationsand real estate, at $31 billion
or 6% of GDP in 2002 had prevented India from sustaining higher growth rates. This has prompted

which has helped in a sustained growth rate of close to 9% for the past six quarters.
Some 600 millionIndianshave nomainselectricityatall.While 80 percentof Indianvillages have at
leastan electricityline,just44 percentof rural householdshave accesstoelectricity.According to a
sample of 97,882 households in 2002, electricity was the main source of lighting for 53% of rural
households compared to 36% in 1993. Some half of the electricity is stolen, compared with 3% in
China. The stolen electricity amounts to 1.5% of GDP. Almost all of the electricity in India is
producedbythe publicsector.Poweroutagesare common. Many buy their own power generators
to ensure electricity supply. As of 2005 the electricity production was at 661.6 billion kWh with oil
productionstandingat785,000bbl/day. In 2007, electricitydemandexceeded supply by 15%. Multi
Commodity Exchange has tried to get a permit to offer electricity future markets. Source [148]

Not only the money, but the man power participation in developing infrastructure of all the
segments like power projects, construction works (MV), transportation (CRS – CRTS),
telecommunications through VPA, will bring down the establishment cost to the greater extent.
Material needed,skill trainings,incorporation of technology and accuracy in the infrastructure will
be lookedafter by the qualified and skilled people from the government side. RCS will be able to
generate anyamountof electricity,throughits,hydroelectrical projects, a safe and environmental
friendlymethodof powergenerationascomparedto other method of power generation. VPA and
MV will make all the houses to have sufficient, continuous and safe electrical supply, thus 100%
houses will get the electrical connection. No one will be able to steal the electricity as all the
connectionsinthe VPA become officialsanditissupervise andmanagedbytheirownassociation.If
someone stealsthe electricity,thenitbecomesthe lossforthe VPA,andlossforthe people whoare
not involvedinit,thusthe people whoare not getting the benefit will protest against such type of
activity in the village. The mater reading at the port of the village should correspond to the
cumulative reading of all the meters of the village.
7.2. F&F - Broadband lines in India.

Every VPA will have a web of its own, and it will be desighned at the national level, which will
contain and provide all the activities of the VPA and its people.

With VPA – MV – MN, most of the urban slum will go and reside in some VPA, from where their
elder generation came, thus the people may not stay in places like urban slum with poor
infrastructure whichishazardoustothe health.Withmanypeople movingtothe VPA, the traffic in
the urban area will come down.

We also have poor infrastructure like pipelines running beneath the road and often getting the
damage. This leads to seepage of contaminated water in the drinking water.

Wildlife in India
India,lyingwithin the Indomalaya ecozone, hosts significant biodiversity; it is home to 7.6% of all
mammalian, 12.6% of avian, 6.2% of reptilian, and 6.0% of flowering plant species.
In recent decades, human encroachment has posed a threat to India's wildlife; in response, the
systemof national parks andprotectedareas,firstestablished in 1935, was substantially expanded.
In 1972, India enacted the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Tiger to safeguard crucial habitat;
furtherfederal protectionswere promulgatedinthe 1980s. Alongwith over500 wildlife sanctuaries,
India now hosts 14 biosphere reserves, four of which are part of the World Network of Biosphere
Reserves; 25 wetlands are registered under the Ramsar Convention. Source [151]

MV will be constructedawayfromthe forestarea andthe national parks. VPA will see that, none of
the people will involve in any activity which disturbs the biodiversity.
7.8. F&F – We lose lot of agriculture products.

The processing field constructed in the MV will prevent such losses, and make the processing of
agriculture products a more certain procedure.
