India's infrastructure


India's infrastructure could be frustrating and amazing at the same time.

I think we have great fundamental infrastructure. The post offices, hospitals, rural schools, the ability to take electoral votes from every nook and corner, the railways, the ration shops, police stations, agricultural offices - are all pretty impressive.

All it requires is little more effort to make the government staff work more. If Postal department has effectively run courier service, so much of the private couriers' revenue will be Government's now.

I think, India can become 60% better just by making Government staff work as they would work in a private company. Even if the corruption stays at its current level, just by making people work will bring a great difference. Making Government Staff accountable for errors itself will help us to go to a better state.
