<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->So it is high time to examine the various aspects of the current economic boom so that a better deal can be ensured for the poorest of the citizens of the country.

Some section of society is seeing real boom, mainly educated or either in civil or IT are with surplus. Status gap is increasing and this will destroy delicate social fabric of India. Poor or rural India is still untouched by modernization or basic infrastructure. In place of opening offices in big cities or metro, they should open offices in rural India. Effort should be to use barren land, which will not only protect environment but will bring basic infrastructure in remote area.
Move out Government offices or public sector office from Delhi. Encourage private cooperate to open offices in rural area. USA is an excellent example where state Capital is always in a small town and industry or business is equally distributed.
US top most hospital; Mayo Clinic is in small town Rochester Minnesota. It sees more patients than its town population and nearest big city is more than 80 miles away.

Town where I live was known for its cherry and other fruit orchards. When I moved here there were lots of cherry orchards walking distance from my house. Now everything is gone in last 8-9 years because of IT dot boom and its location, being heart of Silicon Valley. Here government didn't force out farmer but economy motivated farmers to sell farms here and built offices and Apartment complex. Money they made, they bought lands in other area. They still grow cherry but not here.
By the way our area is very much environment conscious with strictest laws to protect environment.
