As a civil engineer, i would like to clarify that, this is not being a column or foundation casting. Column or foundation is already casted which is not shown in this half video. This is going the locking process beside column or foundation by filling the PCC material which is work as a edge beam. Generally it is filled by sand or natural soil.
But here, Railways is doing good job by filling it with PCC to strengthen the foundation.
This @nehafolksinger is spreading fake anti Modi propaganda.

@Starboy2079 How is he responsible for adulterated fuel supplied by OMC’s ? Problem is not with E20, it is low quality fuel supplied y these OMC’s, it is government responsibility to ensue supply quality fuel

@WokePandemic What are they going to do with those two buckets of concrete ? Are they going to built a house ? Someone should really talk with these people and understand mindset behind it, then only there can be some remedy
The fastest way to earn a customer's trust...
Isn't when everything goes right.
It's when everything goes wrong.
A few years ago, we shipped two containers to the Gulf.
A few weeks later, our buyer called.
The product had a manufacturing defect.
He sent us videos.
The moment we saw them, we knew he was right.
We had rushed production and skipped proper drop testing.
The result?
Products were getting damaged in transit.
Over $120,000 was at risk.
We had only one choice.
Take full responsibility.
We called our buyer and said:
* Stop selling immediately.
* Recall every unit.
* Don't clear the second container from customs.
* Ship both lots back to us.
* We'll pay for everything.
It was our mistake.
We owned all of it.
Our buyer was furious.
He lost the biggest sales season of the year.
He didn't speak to us for weeks.
But a month later, he called.
He said:
"Any supplier can take credit when things go well. You took responsibility when things went wrong."
We redesigned the product.
Fixed the problem.
Shipped everything back.
That same product is still selling today.
Here's what I learned:
Trust isn't built by perfect products.
It's built by taking responsibility when things aren't perfect.
Corruption does not just make homes costly.
It makes factories costly too.
When black money flows into land, factory land becomes expensive.
Higher fixed costs mean fewer factories can compete with China or Vietnam.
Manufacturing does not compete on wages.
It competes on cost per unit.
Corruption quietly raises that cost.
- Expensive land.
- Delayed approvals.
- Higher interest.
- Higher rents.
Every product leaves the factory carrying the cost of corruption.
Then we wonder why imports are cheaper.
The economic and demographic effects of corruption.
Cost of land in our urban areas is far higher than what our GDP per capita would dictate. The ratio of land value to per capita GDP is probably higher in India than anywhere else. As an example, land prices in Chennai or Bengaluru rival that of cities like New York which has a vastly higher per capita GDP.
The key reason?
First, vast sums of political corruption money is parked in real estate. This raises real estate prices and high real estate prices affect everything downstream.
Second, corruption in building approvals and the like - the famous DTCP - raises construction costs, on top of already higher real estate costs.
Third, corruption in private school regulatory compliance enforcement raises school fees.
Fourth, corruption in private hospital regulatory compliance enforcement raises health care costs.
Fifth, household goods need sales outlets and those pay higher rents due to high real estate prices and construction costs.
So housing, education, healthcare and household goods - all of these now cost higher.
As a direct consequence, the economic burden on the average person gets worse. Young people, facing all these costs, postpone marriage, and postpone children or have fewer children.
That directly affects our demographics.
While this issue exists in many parts of India, Tamil Nadu, being the most urbanized of the bigger states, is particularly hit hard.
So corruption is becoming an existential threat to our society.
If you worry about the super-low birth rate in Tamil Nadu, way below replacement, understand that corruption raising our cost of living is one of the major causes, not the only cause, but a big one in our context.
