C A USES O F T H E P R O B LEM The main reason behind the “la c k o f w or ld c lass c i v ic am e n i t i e s i n u r b a n In d i a ” can be traced to the development of urban citiesas important political and economic centers of the country. People are fascinated and attracted in large number from the rural and small town areas to the big cities.Moreover, disparities in India take on various hues – there are disparities across geographical regions (States, districts, rural-urban),disparities in the fund allocation to various states, level of corruption in different cities and states, lack of sensitivity of the politicians towards the welfare of the common people, lack of awareness among the people and so on. R EA S O N S F O R S E L E C T I N G A S P E CIFIC P R O B L E M IT COVERS EVERY SEGMENT OF THE SOCIETY IN THE WHOLE OF INDIA! Ensuring world class civic amenities in Urban India is important because it will ensure the following:•Satisfying basic of needs•Works with components•Direct bearing on investment decisions•Exhibits intent towards development
