Reflections of Rajaram Bojji

Thanks to Sri Piyush Goyal , Railway Board and Govt of India a golden era now for engineers of India !! How? Almost all metro projects headed by IAS . Tendering and award of contracts by consultants , verified by consultants and paid by finance .. good easy model with no intellectual engineering input to improve .  Reg professionalism less said the better . Bridge engineering used to be top proud seat but got progressively closed down . Then new culture of prime consultants, consultants etc layers finally even to certify bills put in place to assure safety while paying contractors but still assure fair returns to stakeholders.  The system has become putrid . Anyway simple stores code application contract tender for design construction including engineering and trouble shooting in place,  every technical job is now open to non technical person. Management is key word .  So UPSC will scrap all engineering services for railways and include IRMS under alli...

How India is fooled by false promises and forced to part with thousands of crores of Public funds for metro rail projects! Most surprising even respected Dr Abdul kalam and Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, got brushed aside by the lobbies. Why Sri Narendra Modi too should be following in the footsteps of UPA policy of compromising the public interest, is irrational. At a glance : Existing metro rail design cannot do what India’s Skybus metro rail can do but Skybus can do what the metro ral can do very well. Promoters of metro systems often claim that one of the benefits of the metro is reduced congestion, due to the users’ shift from road-based motorized modes to metro systems. This mode shift is then claimed to result in reduced air pollution and road accidents. However, the experience of metro rails in low and middle income counties around the world shows otherwise (Mohan, 2008). Due to the induced demand, the available road space fills up with motorized vehicl...

Amazed that the leaders emphasize fear more than spending a few minutes at least to examine & mention support initiatives to easily arrest climate change using eternal omnipresent gravity powered systems. May be this disrupts entire fossil fuel based economy? No need to mine coal nor extract oil, if you accept this solution .  That’s not acceptable ?  Check :  May request for your support for eliminating fossil fuels for energy generation, eliminate chemical battery power storage and save up to 70% electrical energy in transport, conserve land in infrastructure development by invoking the fourth fundamental and enigmatic gravity force.  Peer reviewed papers summarising the work done, ASCE too published (APM2011) as well as some YouTube videos links I submit.  1.  https://drive.google.com/ file/d/ 0BwHemx70oqnEejRZWDJoUU9vRXE4b nlVNVJxaHFjWTc5Nlln/view?usp= drivesdk 2. https://drive.google.com/file/ d/ 0BwHemx70oqnENzlwNnpHdjRHV...
