It was an awesome experience for me to see NOIDA, which was a small town few decades back but now, everyone can see the pace of development there.
It all resulted in a great Indian Migration towards these newly developed cities. Information Technology has changed the demography of India. People from all over the country are now moving towards these towns, malls are there in each and every locality and no wonder, we are finding our Manhattan and New Jersy in Gurgaon and NOIDA like cities.
But all this is giving rise to another social problem. We have looked consistently towards the migration of great Indian minds towards west, but we are, somehow, shunning the internal migration. Now everyone wants to, or I can say is bound to come towards these cities, then what about those small towns. Those towns are consistently lagging in progress chart. India has now only one flagship industry- IT, which has made few towns of India as Real State Gold Mines, but what about others? This social and economic imbalance between North Karnataka and South Karnatka, Vidarbha and west Maharashtra, Eastern and Western UP, Kolkatta and rest of Bengal, North and South Andhra is very much visible to all of us. It is not only attributed to the boom of IT industry in those town but certainly, this single sided flow of money has added many feathers in this cap.
There is a desperate need of money flow in reverse direction also.The youth of those areas is only charmed or bound to come in other direction. We will have to create opportunities in those underprivileged areas otherwise with the rise of GDP of India and Software revenue, the rise in numbers of suicide of farmers will become unstoppable.....and raising incidents of regionalism is another indicator of intolerance of local people towards migrant.........
Time has come to think about it....
