If we were to read history, we would see many examples of circumstances when young people with ideas were regarded as arrogant. And this is not because they are, but it is because it was difficult for the elders to accept that someone with less experience can have the necessary knowledge to run a community, moreover a country.
Even literature depicts how traditional communities listen to only what elders say; and whatever they have suggested must be carried out by all members of the community. But today, developments in Panvel are breaking that tradition because people are starting to realize that even the young bloods can rule with a certain degree of maturity that will bring benefit to the community.
Panvel development is a great example of how young Indian politicians are able to make a big difference. Panvel used to be an ignored city and was overlooked for its potential, but today, the city is hopeful of surpassing expectations and performing better than Navi Mumbai through the development it is currently going through. And those hopes are becoming more real because now, the city is attracting a lot of infrastructure developers, especially because the government has approved the construction of an international airport in the area. Once Panvel development is done, it is expected that the cost of land in the area will be more expensive than it is a few years ago.
The following are some of the Panvel development projects done on the city.
- The government has given approval for the construction of an international airport that will handle some two million passengers who will be flying in and from Mumbai. Most importantly, this airport is supposed to complement another international airport, Chatrapati Shivaj so that the current massive number of flights is handled properly.
- The flow of traffic will be better because of the construction of an elevated bridge that goes across the city.
- In addition to this bridge, a six lane road was constructed from Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) to NH 17 in order to lessen heavy traffic flow to and from the city.
- The city has opened its doors to people looking for opportunities of townships in the city through land acquisition and large infrastructure companies.
- There have been grants from the government and the MMRDA for the concreting of roads. There have been incentives for agriculture as well.
Further more, young Indian politicians are taking the initiative to work hard for further improvements and developments. They have been regularly doing charitable activities such as providing notebooks for school children who need them most, and taking care of the aged people by providing them with umbrellas, among others.
Indeed, young Indian politicians are proving themselves in the public eye by getting involved in social problems. In the past, citizens have cried for the government to take action and not simply to listen to their grievances. Today, citizens of Panvel are enjoying the benefits of being led by the younger generation of politicians because so far, they have seen many improvements which have made the city more promising.
