@DeepMalhotra @YESBANK Everything has been digitised but the process of loan closure is still physical and its true with entire banking industry. Process involves multiple visits. In most of the good big banks, you cannot even get amount of outstanding on net. Time for rbi to step in

This is not just about Punjab, this is about India too.

Our image has been shattered because our roads are filthy and our cities are not clean.

Even countries that are poorer than us often look better.

No government can solve this problem if citizens fail to participate.

We need to change this, and we are starting with Punjab.

I am joining hands with @harjotbains in his mission to clean Punjab. With folded hands, I request all of you to join this movement, irrespective of your political beliefs.

This is not a political cause, it is our collective cause.

We will be releasing a banger Clean Punjab Anthem soon…

Punjab should be clean.

Maang nahi, zidd hai.

@harjotbains Once area is cleaned of garbage,make plan to sustain it by involving local residents. steps like this will make big difference. 70 of the garbage is organic waste. Pl think of plan to make manure through kitchen waste. Make it mandatory for bigger plot owners to begin with.

@anupjaiswal1958 @tavleen_singh @virsanghvi @ArvindKejriwal @msisodia Check what they are doing in punjab where they have got free hand to operate. We will see the results in next 5-6 years

In the TOI today

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@tavleen_singh Institutions, coaching institutes and prepare students for future life. Need to have skill centres in each school. We have to do it fast to prepare young generation to compete with best of the world. Make English mandatory. Let us work on our core competency .

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@tavleen_singh Banning is not the solution. Is is like banning DG sets, banning water purifiers. We need to work on where the real problem lies. Quality education. I think collaboration is the sol. Most schools in urban areas r having avg infrastructure. Need to rope in educator from pvt 1/2

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@tavleen_singh Thanks you wrote on the most basic and core problem india is not working on. Would have loved if you would have given credit to AAP . At least they are claiming and i believe doing excellent work in the area of education. Even if we start today, we will get results after 15 yrs

For me, this is a pivotal moment in my science communication career, from India perspective.

Probably the first time, a major national media invited me to write an fact-based piece on a completely rubbish alternative medicine system that enjoys government protection - Homeopathy.

Please make this your must read of the day. I dissect every common nonsensical claim from the homeopathy community and bury age-old myths associated with this 200-plus year old obsolete pre-science artefact that still enjoys an undeserving place in Indian healthcare and which also destroys many young careers.

Well done and thank you Indian Express and Ms. Rinku Ghosh, the lead on health, for this! I really welcome this change! No one should be afraid of reporting facts about health misinformation even if it is government supported or promoted. This is the people's right.

Full read:
Homeopathy survives for reasons that have little to do with effective healthcare.

@sabeer Unless we highlight what is wrong in our governance, we can never set it right

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@ShivrattanDhil1 @rwac48 Off late it is more to do with short term development which is bereft of any long term vision read master plan. We are so short sighted that we could not even copy paste. see the plight of mohali and Pkl. I rarely see the plantation of trees in mohali which suits local climate.

[Rattan Dhillon @ShivrattanDhil1]

What a Swiss–French visionaries imagined 78 years ago still puts us to shame. Le Corbusier and M. S. Randhawa showed what real city planning looks like.

India doesn’t lack land, climate advantage, or natural resources it suffers from poor planning. Across most of the country, except a few well-designed cities and pockets, we treat nature as a hurdle instead of an asset.

Shade-giving native trees are replaced with decorative plants in the name of “modern development.” Roads get wider, concrete keeps expanding and then we wonder why cities feel 5–10°C hotter every summer.

We don’t need more concrete jungles.
We need smarter, climate-conscious cities.

The real question is:
Are we building for the next 5 years… or the next 50? 👍🏻

#Chandigarh #LeCorbusier

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@dmuthuk It is simple equation of demand and supply. Quantity houses are not in abundance in good urban centres. When was the last you heard of planned city ( Chandigarh was the last i think in 50s). Imagine country with population of 140 cr can’t boast of city with clean water n low aqi

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@Gss_Views When it comes to claim, every punjab based party wants Chandigarh but when it is question of extending benefits to residents of Chandigarh on parity with punjab, no one is willing

[Veena Jain @Vtxt21]

If she had been a poor lady asking a BJP Minister to clear the road, Police would have dragged her away from the site within seconds

Since she was an English-speaking, wealthy woman, Minister & Police remained silent

This is how privilege works in India

By the way, kudos to her courage 🫡

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@dmuthuk It’s mindset change and again message has to come from leadership. You can’t show off power and autocracy and except public to behave differently

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@dmuthuk It’s difficult but achievable. Message has to come from top and should not be confined to mere slogans. Things may change very fast provided intent is there. Best case scenario if we see cleanliness and discipline is defence cants, ashrams, pvt societies. Reg vip culture 1/2

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@SiddharthKG7 Should never be done. On the other side, we should be doing away with ceremonial positions of governor and president in our democracy . Let their be some other method to govern as and when their is vaccum

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@ShivrattanDhil1 @VishalBhargava5 Another issue is common investor doesn’t know who else has invested and keep on fighting individually with builders and banks. In case they are able to form group, it becomes easier and builder will not be able to manipulate them

[Devraj Goel @devrajgoel]

@ShivrattanDhil1 be maintained. Despite all this no red flag from RERA and fin institutions, no public notice . In case of bankruptcy, isn’t RERA and banks are equally at fault and should compensate common public who have invested based on due diligence by RERA and banks. @VishalBhargava5 2/2
