0th Question:
Dear Hon. Mr. Ban Ki Moon, and Dr. Jim Yong Kim,
Warm Greetings.
Education to children and MDG goes hand in hand.
Please allow me to be honest on this question.
Educating the children requires pro-activism and it can be done with the help of NGO’s, SHO’s, Government and other non-government organizations and motivated honest individuals and technology and procedures and systems to support. It’s our experienced fact that, the little children migrate with their parents, while their work shifts to other cities in many cases in India and Bangladesh, if you take a case of millions of Construction Workers and casual labors.
Don't you feel it's the job of Government machinery to keep track and provide education system and procedure for these children, though, its job beyond 10 am to 5 pm office hours?
Why couldn't the technology and procedures be developed for these activities?
Why can't it be done in deadlines of 10 years or 25 years?
Trust me, if it's not done with deadlines, in the year 2100 we'll be discussing the same things.
Thus, don’t you feel UNO and WB should be Regulatory authority of the world by now to achieve it?
Hoping to include this point in your discussion, please, also if required, honestly, I can become part of it.
Thanks and Regards.
Yours Truly,
Dr. Ashish Manohar Urkude, (Ph. D. Management), India

1. We can talk about Social accountability, as much as we can, but "Who is to be held responsible(?)" for bad road conditions, non-working of the government machinery in some cases, insurance companies like Aviva Life Insurance threaten to collect premium from its customers, electricity is not there but bills are there every month, telephone doesn't function well but bills are there every month, many road and other infrastructure projects are left without completion, if common man goes to court/ legal the judge seems to be got manipulated by reach individuals or companies,...etc. It's not happening only in India but we've seen elsewhere too. What could be the solution? Who has to be held responsible? What will be the role of World Bank to correct this system in so many countries? How UNO, WB can fix this accountability problem?
2. We heard seating at their office few people can tell in some instances, who (with exact name and address) has done that poaching in that particular area or who has done theft in that particular area. It's a world known fact, by now, in many Jungle areas. Now, kindly let us know, the exact reason why it can't be stopped, if such a good intelligence system is available, cameras are available, and ....Who provides the loopholes in the system to poachers? Don't you think it seems fishy if someone says poaching can't be stopped? Dr. Jane, I hope you will touch this point, please.
3. It has been observed that while widening of roads, the trees that are in way could be up-rooted and then could be re-rooted at some other place, can be done, may be at night times, but do not happens in India. It's been standard practice at other places in the world. Hope you agree that, there would be imbalance in nature if it's not done. We've observed that, it also have provoked corrupt practices in India, hence, would like to ask, Have you touched this point in your book?
4. Many of the rare medicinal seeds, shrubs, fruits, flowers, roots, trees, ..., etc. are available in Himalayas. On the name of Herbal / Ayurvedic Medicines top MNC buy such medicinal shrubs at negligible cost here, we've seen, and they sell their medicines at million times higher prices in global market. Could you please evaluate cost and value of this till the day of this discussion and make a comment on this?
5. We in India have believed since millions of years that the knowledge that is necessary to survive must be available free of cost to everyone, otherwise, how would we survive? It's time, we make all the necessary and authentic knowledge and authentic data available free of cost, patent free and copyright free, and it's free to all and is available for any point on the globe and beyond. Hope these points will be discussed in this important discussion.
6. I think, it's not problem of Vietnam only. Even USA could not find a better Women Presidential Candidate yet, in their history. It's a Universal Problem. Probably Politics and ruling is not yet a clean job, in human history. However, being relatively smaller country Vietnamese can find the better solution over more women contribution towards the nation through it's parliament. It could start from a local or a corporate or a sports or an education institutional leadership and the candidate can be nurtured to the level of national leadership. We've tried it in India, and we had a women President, Chief Minister, governors of the provinces and perhaps the strongest woman Prime Minister till date, using this method. Mrs. Indira Gandhi was nurtured this way by her father and the well wishers, since her child hood, including Hon. M. K. Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi-ji). Hope this point may be discussed in this all important discussion.
7. At our locality, we waste 'Zero' food. The reason being many follow the concept called limited daily food consumption. However, it's been observed that it's the five star or above hotels those who waste more food. What can be done? Another observation is wastage of food while they are stored, even 1% of 100 million metric tons become 1 million metric tons of waste, if we take case of India. Don't you feel immediate action is required on it? What could be the modified role of the World Bank in future when it comes to all these activities?
8. We had hot discussion and SWOT analyses recently and we found that this world is not ready, at present for direct democracy and transparency and openness, though we all youth around the world in all countries demand it. What are your opinions on these? What could be the process to achieve it?
9. First thought raised by women here in India is, are women getting same position same wage/ salary or not? Another point is are they made part of decision or not? What are Health, Safety, and other short and long term benefits and facilities they are getting?
10. Why women are less active in politics around the world? Why even USA could not find a good Presidential candidate till date? Why can't be politics, ruling, governing of nations be made clean enough, around the world, to accommodate both the genders? If it happens then only human civilization can survive for b/millions of years, otherwise, corruption, environment and other problems will wipe it out on earth. Hope this question will be dealt in your discussion.
11. If gender gap has to be reduced it must be reduced in Politics and Governing of every country. Otherwise, inclusive growth, health to each child, education to all, better infrastructure, free will, and human progress, would be just terms used in Utopic language of Economics. Hope, you all agree on this issue and will have discussion on it, in your, all important discussion.
12. I've same question that I asked in the Gender Equality, why couldn't USA find a Woman President till date? My second question is, is it possible that we make a common foreign policy agenda for 100 years for all the countries that, there will be no war and will talk about development of this world at all the fronts, and we meet the MDG. Is it possible to modify foreign policies for USA or Veto Power Countries and all the member countries of UNO, for this no-war, only inclusive-progress? Please suggest/ guide.
13. Hope this diversification in development is also dealing with inclusive growth and favors all the regions in Eurasia? The reason to raise this question is may be after some decades later we'll be discussing, developed, developing and under developed regions in Eurasia despite the so called blessed natural resources. Hope you understand the crux and will add this point in your all-important discussion.
14. It has been observed that some Universities have more influence than others on Global Development, though, every University passes out millions of graduates in the course of time. Can we have a program in which every university can (in fact should) make a contribution? This will improve the quality of graduates around the world, hence this question. Otherwise, for millions of years graduation would be there, billions will graduate but, without any significant difference, value and impact on the global development on earth, and on further fronts, especially expanding human civilization on Moon, Mars and beyond.
15. Reaching to every village has always been challenge, similarly, transport in all whether conditions has always been a challenge to humankind. Do you think, that, in coming decade, we would be able to overcome these two problems in all countries? The reason raise this question is, many people feel technology is developing at faster rate than actually it can be implemented and used in daily life.
16. Probability of climate reversing seems to be nil, thus change will be the only constant in future businesses. Hence, my question is, how would World Bank develop its policies for sustainable businesses, with various countries? Also, how will world bank reach to SME's and micro enterprises and help them sustain? Computers and Internet are still inaccessible to them, as either they don't have employees who can operate Computers or they can't afford it, I've seen it in recent visits to SME's and small agro businesses in distant villages in India, hence, this question.
17. Congrats to Government of India for reducing the losses during and before the cyclone Phailin. However, when people watched the aftermath, they found that the people had nothing to stay and could not return back, as they had no shelter and living machinery. Hence, my question is, what is the future course of action for these cyclone affected people? Also, we've seen in Uttarakhand that some people are not willing to go back and stay at hills again. Is there any plan of government of India and the World Bank to reduce this fear psychosis among people affected? Also, it's high time we must plan no-living zones in India, where, we think there is chance of extreme disaster/s, is what I started feeling. This will also take care of Ecology as well, ex. Mangroves will be protected near sea; and the Hills and Forests will be protected in Himalayas, thus reducing the impact of future disasters. Do you agree to this, please?
18. We in India respect our Mother as Goddess. In fact, we treat our parents as our first Guru/ Teacher/ Coach/ Mentor in fact everything. In joint family we respect all the elders. We involve all, including mother, wife, sister, daughters, and even grandmothers, in every important decision, that we take at home. If same thing happens everywhere including homes, offices, government, public places, with all ethics and values, hope violence against women will vanish. Hope, all of us have similar views. Do you agree over this?
19. My first question is, can the World Bank take job of Train the Trainers of various countries, who are helping youths to start the business, so that more than a million Youth Entrepreneurship start within the span of next 5 years? My second question is, can the World Bank proactively help governments around the world to reduce the lengthy procedures to start the business in various/ respective countries? This question is obvious in case we have to generate more than a few million jobs/ year, in coming decade. This question also has its importance as the solution to this will also boost the spirit of youth brigade from various countries to venture for Entrepreneurship.
20. We're flushing out all the viruses and bacteria out of their dens, with chemicals, global warming, by deforestation and by encroaching their space. Then how will we define, impact on health measures we're taking today? It'll also have impact on our MDG on health issue.
21. Are we flushing/ pushing the viruses and bacteria out of their nest and inviting to our human domain? Same thing happened in India with Tigers, hence, this obvious question.
22. Obviously each and every country should take MDG seriously to achieve this goal. Do you feel this is not happening? Another point is do you feel the same that MDG are related more to the masses than the classes? The reason to ask both of these questions is, many television news channels claim that health issues of masses are not taken seriously, but health issue of classes is taken seriously, by all the governments around the world, with the exception of Pulse Polio Vaccination in India. Thus, my final question is, are we not trying inclusive growth and health for all, then how will it reach the grass root level? What's the opinion of World Bank on whole this issue?
23. Youths around the world are bubbling to go for entrepreneurship/ self-employment or even for a job. However, it’s becoming difficult for some people to start a business due to so many formalities they have to complete. Hence, self-employment is directly proportional to employment generation. If jobs are not generated then, how could new generation would get the jobs? So my first question is can WB help governments to reduce this process of starting business? One more concern is, we again need to balance human resource based economies and technologies based economies, then only it will be possible. Hence, next question is can the WB help governments in planning such socio-economic business and management models? Time is running out faster. We need to act fast.
24. Congrats to Latin America for Middle Class growing past the poor. Great Achievement by itself. My question is, are governments realizing their worth? Are the governments making them part of public services? Does view of a Middle Class family taken seriously by each government? If not then, how can Government people solve the problems? It's not PPP model that will solve the problem, but, it's the local community be made part of the solution then it can solve the problem is what I started feeling. Thus, Public Private Partnership + Contribution of the local common fearless, sensible and wise public of the area where work in progress of the project is going on can solve the problems. In fact, the local citizens may be made part of the project since its inception only, is what I feel.
25. Cell phone, Radio, Television, and the whole Information and Communication Technology is the fastest to reach at the grass root level. Then, why the idea of Millennium Development Goals (MDG) did not reach at the grass root level around the world. Where exactly UNO and its organizations like WB...are failing to reach grass root level? I've been to many MBA schools and those even MBA students do not know what are MDG, leave others (including governments who do not take MDG seriously) aside, hence, this obvious question. Hope the question is taken positively and UNO and WB will try to find out an innovative solution on this, to make MDG happen.
26. Since long, Inclusive Growth is been tried by every nation in their Annual Budget, however, they fail again and again. Can the World Bank act as a Regulator? Otherwise, even after 100 years we'll be talking these basic facts and humanity will face its biggest challenge at that time called hunger, education and health, as all have the same cause, and that is Poverty.
27. Though we are not against any nation or economy, still, we feel, why big economies always put a pressure on small economies? Can the small economies be made independent from this pressure? Can the world economy be made dollar independent? Why can't there be 10 accepted currencies around the world than only USD? The question is obvious when BRICS have got together recently to form their own cartel.
28. Please don't mind for such a basic question. I hope World Bank is very clear with what is poverty and about its definition. It is observed that statisticians and governments play with the facts and figures to show poverty is reducing, whereas common man observes juxtapose and that is Poverty is growing day by day. Hence, how would World Bank work in conjunction with such Governments around the world?29. India is facing extended Monsoon this year. Since, last 6 months it's raining. Thus, do you think, most of the funds of all the nations in future, might be devoted to infrastructure build up and maintenance only? The obvious reason being, roads gets washed away, telephone cables, water pipelines, electricity cables gets broken, hospitals got washed away, education institutes got washed away...thus, in that case, how could world bank help the nations and what would be its role? Will WB opt for going project by project basis or will it help the nations and work proactively?
30 How can we reduce the time between these utilities are planned and the time it is actually delivered to the end users? Also, what are the best practices around the world that World Bank is thinking to implement to improve this service delivery?
31. Many have tried to eradicate poverty in India and around the world. They failed. Hence, how feasible is this poverty reduction program? Also, what are the steps that we at World Bank are taking to avoid such failures again?
32.
33. Since decades, building roads, providing electricity, and construction of toilets for every household are part of every year's Budget of every country, but, it could not be achieved, is also a fact. Thus, according to Governments these things are interlinked and are equally important. Now, the question is, can the World Bank take responsibility of keeping track on budgets and helping countries to keep record of every dollar/ taka/ cent / rupee / money spent on these activities? If not then after 2200 A. D. i.e. after 100 years, same question and same discussion would take place and my great grand children will be asking the same question to your counter parts. Hope you don't laugh at this question. However, it's horrible reality of our lives, and hope you'll touch this point in your all important discussion.
34. Hope Right to Education is applicable to poor people in India. This itself is a big question. Now, take a live case, if Government chooses children of poor to be taught, and the parents of those children are construction worker, then? The parents are going to migrate for the job, even to other cities, isn't it? Then how can they keep a track on it? Government machinery can keep a track, but not these illiterate poor people. Also, parents can't leave their children behind....There are hundreds of such cases I know....and thus children are left illiterate and parents are forced to opt for job over education of children. Slowly, children also become earning source for parents in India and Bangladesh too. Also, education and coming out of poverty goes hand in hand in this part of the world. Thus, I believe that, trustworthy government machinery all across the country in conjunction with these poor people, and technology to support, can only alleviate these poor out of poverty. Hope, you'll touch this point in your lecture. Thanks.
35. Hope, while the production of Agricultural Produce in increased, the storage houses will also be built simultaneously, so that the hard work of Agrarian/ Farmers are not wasted and the grains reach at proper places. Hope this point will be touched in this all important discussion.
36. Is human civilization going to fight wars for millions of years? Why can't peace be restored in Africa? Why can't UNO and the World Bank become so powerful that they can keep the people/ organisations/ nations and other entities having vested interest away from Developing the Nation/ Region/ World? Sorry for direct question but, the day has come to call spade a spade, other wise, progress and development of this world will be stalled for ever. Hope you'll touch this point in this important discussion.
37. Hope, in Africa, while the production of Agricultural Produce in increased, the storage houses will also be built simultaneously, so that the hard work of Agrarian/ Farmers are not wasted and the grains reach at proper places. Hope this point will be touched in this all important discussion.
38. Are policy makers and implementer, slower than the economic down fall? If it is already predicted by scientists and researchers that in 2015 AD or 2022 AD, there will be economic down fall, then why the policy makers and implementer do not work over time to make the economies move smoothly? Don't you feel there is something fishy? Hope you'll touch this point in this discussion.
39. Most of the forest areas in China is getting destroyed due to planned and unplanned activities. Then how can this urbanization will remain sustainable, if imbalance in the nature takes place? My second question is, 'Is the formula of 33% land must be accommodated by jungles applicable in each urbanization projects'?
40. Hope this Universal Health Coverage by 2030 A.D. program will be as successful as 'Pulse Polio Drive' in India. Hence, my question is are their definitive weekly goals kept in this program from small village level to each country levels? Are all the steps and procedures and reach made transparent and visible on the World Bank website?
41. Hope Sanitation and Water will be provided to all human beings by 2050 A.D. Thus, they will be part of real human civilization and they will be treated as humans. Hope we've some concrete plan for that. Otherwise, I've started believing that my great-grand children will be asking the same question to the then President of WB and UN-SG. Hope this point will be touched by you'll Honorable members and decision makers of UNO bodies, in this all important high-level meeting, and will definitely leave a legacy for future generations.
42. These are the words of an almost 100 years old grand father. "Some of the uncertainties in economy/ world economies are manufactured one. They do not come due to natural ups and downs in the economies". Hence, my simple question is, if even USA, Greece, like rich economies could not face this uncertainty properly, how can we expect the Poor African countries can? Thus, what are the extra measures need to be taken care, in their cases?
43. Can we build large African firms? Is the atmosphere conducive for it? The competition, the negativity seems to be over powering the positivism, hence, this question.
44. Are policy makers and implementer, slower than the economic down fall? If it is already predicted by scientists and researchers that in 2015 AD or 2022 AD, there will be economic down fall, then why the policy makers and implementer do not work over time to make the economies move smoothly? Don't you feel there is something fishy? Hope you'll touch this point in this discussion.
45. Hope this Universal Health Coverage by 2030 A.D. program will be as successful as 'Pulse Polio Drive' in India. Hence, my question is are their definitive weekly goals kept in this program from small village level to each country levels? Are all the steps and procedures and reach made transparent and visible on the World Bank website?
46. I've come to the conclusion that, if the corruption persists for 100 years more, then, rivers will be polluted, then lands, then air, and then the human minds and brains, thus leading to the death of human civilization. Most of the environmental damage has been done through corruption only. Ex. Chemicals thrown by the factories in the rivers or oceans...do you agree with this?
47. Human beings are pushing the viruses and bacteria our of their den. same thing happened in India with Tigers. Tigers may vanish. However, don't you think, viruses and bacteria will end the human civilization if provoked? The reason being some viruses were discovered which are 6 million years existing in the oceans floors, and they might have sustained all the chemical and other atrocities by now, and cannot be destroyed by any chemicals now...isn't it a message to the human civilization, to not to disturb the nature too much? Thus, will it not affect the MDG especially the health goals?
48. How can these super rich be encouraged for 'giving more' (as per the other World Bank discussion)? Thus, what is/ will be the role of the World Bank in this 'Giving more' process to organise their hefty donation funds? Hope you touch this point in your all important discussion.
49. We're not against super rich, however, is it not a fact that only those can be super rich who can manage all stake holders, government and non government bodies and of course the negative elements in society? Have you touched these points? Also do you agree that sometimes, coercieve collaborations of super rich people even can take the toll of few countries' economies? How can it be tackled? Hope you'll touch this point in your discussion please. Millions are dying of hunger, millions are not getting employeed, etc. and since a century we could not find a solution over this, hence, also this question can be raised to super rich, as it's a same case where in Rome/earth is burning and ...these Kings are busy in amassing more wealth ...
50. Mr. Warren Buffet, donated billions of dollars. Why cannot The World Bank, influence, organise and encourage other super rich for 'Giving More/ Donate More'?
51. Right to Education (RTE) is an act/ law in 135 countries still we see lot of illiteracy, how can expertise from Finland help implement education to all at world level. (Discussion with Education Minister of Finland).
52. Humans should dream for 100% literacy, otherwise, humans migrating to Mars or Moon in 22nd century will call us those are living on earth, as the backward race among the humans.....you may laugh at this, but, if it happens then, they will laugh at us, in future.
53. "Nobody is willing to solve this problem, but, are interested to earn their own bread", is the comment of the grand old genius here. Statistician and Economists putting the facts and figures and are analyzing it as they are paid. Dictators and 'Rulers' just want to let their way go ahead. Poor are left to god....Nobody has 'will to implement real solutions provided by reality experts' due to their own vested interest...god bless this earth.
54. I have come to the conclusion that due to corruption, the environment will get damaged, then mind of humans will get damaged, now one will trust that some good people are really there on this earth, slowly, ....if corruption is not stopped then human society will vanish from earth. The reason, it's due to corruption only the chemicals are thrown in the rivers and sea, look at Yamuna in Delhi, and sea near Mumbai....thus earth/ land will be polluted, air will be polluted, skies will be polluted water will be polluted and lastly our mind will be polluted and we'll seize to exist....what is your opinion madam?
55. Why the classical decisions like union of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh similarly, union of North and South Korea like decisions are delayed that can solve the fantastic problems of the world? Why War and division of countries like decisions always win, also, are human beings going to fight for millions of years among themselves on caste/ race, country, religion like petty issues? Why progress of all the nations and whole earth is called utopian idea? Why only we talk about making literate one country only and why that country do not help other countries to get 100% literacy? Thus, why not MDG being taken seriously by all the states on the earth?
56. If Nobel Prize was not given to Mahatma Gandhi-ji, and the society repents on it, then why can't it be given posthumously? If Bharat Ratna can be amended why not Nobel Prize?
57. Why not UNO originations be made independent and decisions making bodies than just a kind of dependent NGO's like bodies and puppet in the hands of few nations, and thus, becoming regulator for politics/ progress / people's welfare decisions making body, to save this earth?
58. Are we going to just discuss and laugh at these problems and make fun of poor and needy people. We don't have idea, the super rich in this birth may born as poor in his next life....can happen, if they laugh may be punished by God/ System of this universe and law of nothing can be created or destroyed but gets converted form one form to another.....and Newton's third law of motion...applicable to life on earth....and law of energy...
59. My father, desires to put a question, unless the inflation is controlled at certain level the poverty can never be erradicated from most of the countries because, the purchasing power reduces proporionately compailing them to be in the poorer class. Do you agree with this? Hope you'll touch this point in your all impotant discussion.
60. Women are deprived from decision making bodies as top level men expect to continue the dirty politics, hopeless-economics, wars and terrorims, and dirty business. Otherwise, why USA couldnot find a Presidential candidate? Why women in India could not get 33% reservation in parliament? Similar cases could be found in Russia, China, France, Japan, and top countries around the world. Deprivation of women has stopped human evolution in recent times. If human civilisation has to expand to places, we need to evolve at this front, then only we'll sustain or we'll perish. Hope you'll touch this point in your all important discussion.
61. On Google Hang outs:
Youth around the world expect similar things as such, like good education, job, etc. However, time and again it's observed that some of them cannot achieve that. Will these hangouts help them achive their goals in their lives?
62. Women are deprived from decision making bodies as top level men expect to continue the dirty politics, hopeless-economics, wars and terrorims, and dirty business.

63. Social Strategy: How to profit from social media:
Will digital explosion and vested interests, benefit or dilute all our efforts?
64. The death of money: The coming collapse of international monetary system:
First question : Is it a death or evolution? Second question: Is it happening in organised way or in an un-organised way? Third question: Will it benefit rich or poor individuals/ countries! Fourth question: When will be death of next currancy (what ever that enetity be) be expected?
66 Finland's Experience in Education:
:It's time, we start dreaming for 100% educated human being on earth. Otherwise, in 22nd century the humans shifted on moon base or mars base would start calling us, backward race among the humans.....May be at this question you'll laugh, but, if it happens then, ...we'll be laughed. Hope Finland will share their expertise in implementing 100% literacy, at the world level....
66. Congrats for successessfully implementing education reforms to Finlanders. They were among the first to implement Right To Education Act (RTE) in their country, being small country and willing to implement, they seem to be successful too. Thus both corolaries are true. Now, the question is how can they help other countries? Also, why cannot their expert implementers help other 135 countries, where RTE is there but are not successful? If it doesn't happen then Education to all, will forever, remain Human Dream, and might be in 22nd century man will colonise moon, with highly educated beings, and back home on earth, those living on moon will call us, the relatively illitarate society. Hope you'll touch this point. Thus, each successful country will educate at least a million i n a span of a decate in ....not so educated countries....could be a better aim for human society in future. Sustainance of human civilisation is at stake hence also, I believe, you all would discuss, these points, please.
67. Discussion topic: Google Hangout...:
Youth around the world expect similar things as such, like good education, job, etc. However, time and again it's observed that some of them cannot achieve that. Will these hangouts help them achieve their goals in their lives?
68. Voice and Agency: Empowering women.....Hon. Hillary Clinton..
Women are deprived from decision making bodies as top level men expect to continue the dirty politics, hopeless-economics, wars and terrorism, and dirty business. Otherwise, why USA couldnot find a woman Presidential candidate? Why women in India could not get 33% reservation in parliament? Similar cases could be found in Russia, China, France, Japan, and top countries around the world. Deprivation of women has stopped human evolution in recent times. If human civilization has to expand to places, we need to evolve at this front, then only we'll sustain or we'll perish. Hope you'll touch this point in your all important discussion.
69. Is Uruguay Model for Latin America?:...
Can you please share some the best practices in Uruguay?
70. ...How will Profit from Social Media?:
Will digital explosion and vested interests, benefit or dilute all our efforts?
71: topic....Death of Money:...
First question : Is it a death or evolution?
Second question: Is it happening in organised way or in an un-organised way?
Third question: Will it benefit rich or poor individuals/ countries?
Fourth question: When will be death of next currency (what ever that entity be) be expected?
72. Infrastructure week goes global...How infrastructure built up can spur up economic growth in developing countries:
Question:
Why the railway projects like Kaba to Rome to Varanasi cannot be thought to connect all religions?
Why not north pole to south pole railway project is not been thought....ok....why not Delhi-Beijing-Moscow-....to London....to...Helsinki....project be implemented? Why not American-Russian Railways be thought they have only few hundred kilometers of sea in between them...Why Kolkata to Singapore Railways be planned? Why Mumbai to Karachi railway link is not there? Are Human-beings going to fight wars for millions of years? Are not our experts/ expertise and resources lost in wars?... Why human-beings do not implement no war pact for 100 years? Then if all these fantastic projects are implemented the earth will look like heaven. Trust me.
73. Top 20% and bottom 40% both have more than 95% of their children not studying at schools.
What are the steps the world bank is taking to help these African countries realize the importance of education?
74. Topic of discussion: May 16, 2014/ Friday:
Infrastructure Week Goes Global: How Infrastructure Investment in Developing Countries Can Spur Economic Growth:
Q 75: Why the railway projects like Kaba to Rome to Varanasi cannot be thought to connect all religions? Why not north pole to south pole railway project is not been thought....ok....why not Delhi-Beijing-Moscow-....to London....to...Helsinki....project be implemented? Why not American-Russian Railways be thought they have only few hundred kilometers of sea in between them...Why Kolkata to Singapore Railways be planned? Why Mumbai to Karachi railway link is not there? Are Human-beings going to fight wars for millions of years? Are not our experts/ expertise and resources lost in wars?... Why human-beings do not implement no war pact for 100 years? Then if all these fantastic projects are implemented the earth will look like heaven. Trust me.
Q. 76. Long lasting and Sustainable infrastructure built up is possible only if we stop wars, which not only destroy existing infrastructure but also expertise and humans who built it. Thus, it's a loss for that country as well as for the whole world. Do you agree on this? Is it possible that humans do not fight wars for 100 years, for such infrastructure built up?
Q. 77. Whenever, I talked about Railway route from Delhi to Moscow, Mumbai to Dubai, Nagpur to Shanghai, Kolkata to Singapore, London to New-York, Tehran to Tel- Aviv, Mumbai to Karachi, Cape of Good Hope to Antarctica, North Pole to South Pole, Macca to Rome to Varanasi, etc. ....people called me crazy. However, everyone agreed that Railway is safest and the most comfortable journey. Do you agree such projects are possible in coming future? I feel, with such projects this earth will look heaven, hence this question.

Q. 79.Can the all the financial records be maintained and made transparent by 2015 A. D. or say by 2020 A.D. on all the Hard earned, Tax Payers Money in many countries along with the Finance Fund by WB/ IMF on all the Projects? The reason to ask this question is, unless executives are held responsible as well as accountable, the fantastic non-productive activities will not stop, and this world will not be able to meet the deadline of MDG by 2030 A.D. is what we've started believing by now. Hope, you'll touch this point, in your all important discussion, please.
Q. 80. Topic of discussion: 1 in 3 Multi-Disciplinary Art Exhibition on Gender-Based Violence:::With President Dr. Jim Yong Kim, of World Bank on May 23, 2014/ Friday:
Education, right from early age, is the best solution to tackle problems of women, many believe this. May it be through moral education, and formal education. However, it's also true that if you claim here that, it's happening even in educated and high literate countries then, what could be the solution to this problem? Why can't it happen all over the world that by 1 January 2015 A.D. all women will be dealt or given equal status to that of men in all the Laws/ Legal framework around the world, in all the countries? Also, 'for coming 100 years (2015 to 2115 A.D. )there will be no war'....If such dramatic and drastic solutions are not implemented then trust me for millions of years wars will be fought and women will also be abused....which I believe none of us will like...Hope you'll discuss this all important point in your important discussion, please.
Q. 81. Municipal Finances the handbook to local government:
Please check many Municipal Corporations in the world. What irrigation department does is not known to the electrification department, what road building department does is not known to the electricity and irrigation departments....thus total chaos ruin all the budgets and hopes of the civilians.

Such questions are raised by many older friends from Detroit to Delhi to Dehraudn to Dhaka, Bandung to Bombay, Nagpur to Nainital, Kedarnath to Badrinath, .... Hope you will touch this point in your important discussion, as it's public money and hard earned taxes, that are wasted rather than invested.
Q. 82. Housing Finance in Emergency Market:
Many of my colleagues are willing to by house of their own however 85% loan criteria kills their dreams. Thus, my question is those who are serious to buy house, will be anyhow serious even if it's made 5% or 10% of own payment and 95% to 90% loan criteria. Then why not governments take such measures? Otherwise the infra boom will also burst like DotCom burst, is what most of us feel. This will also bring only white money in the market. Hope you'll touch this point in your discussion.

Q. 85. Digital Engagement and closing feedback loop:
Governance, Complince of the projects, and closing Feedback loop must go hand in hand then only true development is possible in all the Government and Non Government public projects right from village level to space age projects," Dr. Ashish Manohar Urkude, once proclaimed this in UNESCO conference in Budapest Hungary in 2006 and all the scientists agreed upon it. Hope you'll touch this point in your important discussion.
Q. 86. How climate change affect the global development:
This inpredictability of nature is human creation, hope you agree on this point, hence, hope you'll also agree that this is going to increase day by day due to selfish nature of egoistic human society around the world. Now, let's hope UNO and WB will lead and find out a permanant solution on this without any bias to any part of the world. Otherwise, most of the existing businesses would definitely ruined.

The Question: Since, 1982, I've watched all football world cup final gold cup match.

So calculations comes out to be not 9.5 Trillion Dollars but more than 12 Trillion dollars. So, at the end of the day, when you say no tranceperency in transactions are there, then, is this worth a investment? Hope you'll touch this point in this Google Hangout.

If it's called inclusive growth/ economy in case of USA, then, why it fails every now and then, was the obvious question I faced in the classes of international marketing I took. Once, I got tired of answering all the questions with all relevant economics and commerce and management answers. The class lasted for more than 5 hours. Students point was, "If the economy is inclusive and good and favorable to all, then it must be sustained by the people, and for the people". Thus, also, students felt that, only those economies go down, which are anti-masses and favorable to classes, and one of them was USA economy..... Your expert comment/s on these questions will be really welcome by the new generation students and citizens around the world.

Q. 101. (What Grades would you give to teachers in your country- 25th July 2014-World Bank)
I would rate my teachers who taught me till today as the best, right from Primary Education till Ph.D. Now, when future rating is concerned it should be holistic rather than just/only performance based. In India Guru is Guru, who is beyond rating and value, as s/he stands for legacy that has been there since ages. Hence, apart from her/ his basic qualification s/he must be have skills to build values and ethics in the students along with skills and knowledge s/he can deliver to next generation that leads them to live a wiser life. Hence, I'm recommending a holistic education and evaluation system, here for the next generations.
Q. 101. In Protugese Language: Same question:(What Grades would you give to teachers in your country- 25th July 2014-World Bank)
Eu classificaria meus professores que me ensinaram até hoje como o melhor, desde a Educação Básica até Ph.D. Agora, quando classificação futuro está em causa deve ser holística e não com base apenas / só o desempenho. Na Índia Guru Guru é, que está além da classificação e valor, como s / ele defende legado que existe desde as idades. Assim, para além de seu / sua qualificação básica s / he deve ser ter habilidades para construir valores e ética em que os alunos, juntamente com habilidades e conhecimentos que ele / ela pode entregar a próxima geração, que os leva a viver uma vida mais sábia. Por isso, eu estou recomendando um sistema de ensino e avaliação holística aqui para as próximas gerações.
Q. 102. Please comment on the artificial shortage and its impact on increase in food prices. Why not a permanent law and regulators be enforced around the world in all the nations over this issue? Why always poor, needy, and villagers suffer over food issue around the world? Are we going to find out a permanent answer and solution to/on this issue or are we going to earn our salaries over such discussions only? Sorry for frank question, but, I can see/ visualize....the year 3014 A.D. i.e. 1000 years later also same discussion going on this food issue, hence, these questions on food issue.

Q. 103.
The discussion
topic proves that almost all the governments around the world are almost
"close" i.e. are not willing listen, and are not so much
"responsive" too. Now. the question is are they willing to listen and
become responsive? Another factor, every 5 years government changes, then, can
the governments become open and responsive too in that period? Why not system,
processes be built up for responsive and open governments in all the countries
around the globe? Are we willing or just going to do lip services forever? Hope
this hottest issue will be touched by World Bank, for the welfare of whole
humankind, being a UNO body.
Q. 104.
I think, the
whole world requires a training on sharing riches. The increase in inequality
around the world shows, the knowledgeable or skillful or riches want to hold
their jobs at the cost of others, whereas, everyone must share his knowledge
and skills and wealth with at least one more person every year, in an ideal
situation. Thus within 10 years, this world can come out of inequality. Why
people have fear to lose their everything? In fact, by giving more you earn
more is experience of many, because the moment a person gives away his/ her
skills or knowledge the next moment s/he goes to higher position. Don't know
when the society will be more accommodative and sharing. At such speed, the day
is not away when, elite humans living on moon or mars will hate to come back on
earth, due to framework and mindset of earthiens.
Q. 105. The topic
suggests that African and South American nations with healthy natural resources
are getting exploited by technologically advanced and / or rich nations. Thus,
the governments in these relatively poor countries should realize the
importance of their skilled but poor workforce and plan a strategy for shared
vision and wealth. Otherwise after a century, neither wealth nor minerals,
neither oil nor gas, neither skilled work force nor will environment, neither
national resources nor their nation itself, be left with them. Hope this
question will be discussed here in the hot discussion.
Q. 106.
"With the
speed they are implemented around the world, MDG's seem to be pipe dream."
An elderly professional predicted this last month, further he said, "Every
time, World Bank and UNO pass on the buck of implementation on the states/
nations. Thus, no one takes responsibility of it's failure. This world will
remain like this forever." Do you think, by the time, a man grows older he
becomes negative about implementation ability of WB and UNO and Government of
any nation, especially over MDG issues?
Q. 107. "With the

An elderly professional predicted this last month, further he said, "Every

remain like this forever." Do you think, by the time, a man grows older he
becomes negative about implementation ability of WB and UNO and Government of
any nation, especially over MDG issues? I had no answer to his questions;
hence, I'm putting all these issues in front of you. Hope, to be answered in upcoming discussion.
Q. 108.
Still my last year’s
question is not answered, why not World Bank starts from itself, and make all
possible data open to public to let know, how, transparently they are working
for betterment of this world and gives account of each penny it spent on each
activity. Then it will become bench mark for nations/ states, and then there is
no looking back.
Q. 109.
Hope you'll
discuss on, how governments can avoid misuse of this Unique Identifications.
Q. 110.
One of the
biggest challenge of Renewable Energy is technology is known, however, cannot
be utilized as it is patented by some entity and also it's costly. Hope, you'll
touch this point. The reason to touch this point is, once the technology being
used many improvements are possible. However, if it is dumped as a patent,
further improvements will be hampered. Hope you'll discuss this major issue in
your all-important discussion.
Q. 111. Hope Detroit downfall has proved that not only
in USA but also around the world, also, not only in public sector but also in
private sector, only and only profit cannot be the motive of any organization.
E.g. For earning more profit only Big 3 started outsourcing to cheaper
manufacturers all over the world. Now, none of USA automobile giant is top
Automobile Company in the world. What we called BIG 3 as GM, Ford and DCX, has
been already looked changed Toyota, and Volkswagen, has become the top most.
China has more than couple of dozen auto companies which could be among the top
25 in the world soon due to, unique Chinese ability to connecting to poor and
manufacturing everything at cheaper cost by making skills known at the bottom
of the pyramid. Hope you'll touch this point.
Q. 112. There are every facts, and figures, known to the world. Still, for at least a thousand years, this world, I mean it, not only India but, this world will remain land of extremes, because, neither UNO nor World Bank, neither each country nor each province, neither politicians nor spiritualists, neither businessmen nor educationists, neither philanthropists nor socialists, neither rich nor poor, neither highly literate nor illiterate, neither military organisations not civil organisations, neither police not thieves, neither all so called good NGO's nor SHO's, neither all males not all females, neither environmentalists nor deforests creators, neither capitalists not communists, are serious about coming out of this problem. Everybody wants someone else to sacrifice and work hard, none wants to start from themselves. Sorry for frank remarks but, it is also a fact by now and hope this point will be discussed in this important discussion. This point I'm raising, because, last time when I asked the question about MDG, the buck of implementation was passed on the countries by Chief Economists of World Bank. This shredding of responsibility and saving job, has become common in all the organisations around the world, in all Government or non Government or even in WB and UNO. Hope, this teething problem will be solved soon by this world. I'm concerned hence, this question. (Discussion over http://live.worldbank.org/is-south-asia-still-land-of-extremes )
Q. 113. Hope at WB/ UNO level we do have a plan to stop the spillover or direct effect of 'fragile state effects/ affects' on the neighboring countries, otherwise, building a reliable business atmosphere will be difficult in future, and more countries could become fragile states, which could be daunting challenge and hence, this concern. ( Financing the fragile and conflict affected states http://live.worldbank.org/financing-fragile-and-conflict-states
Q. 114. It has been observed by many Economists and Statisticians that only some hundred odd political or business power houses in Africa have more benefited than riches reaching to common man. Later, these people also have become ruler or politically accepted leaders as well in those countries, and as these leaders have imperialistic mindset hence they cannot share their wealth with so called common man. Thus, proving, change in mindset is the best solution over this. Now, what world Bank is doing to change this mind set of leaders, businessmen and politicians of Africa? Finally, we feel, this is world over phenomenon, those who hold power and / or money, it may be individual or organisations or states, they do not want to share and lose their importance and want to remain special stars or persons or states or organisations. What UNO and World Bank is doing to let everyone including poor countries, feel that they are also important in this integrated world? Sorry for this direct question but my question was not answered last time, hence, raised this more direct question, as it has direct effect on African continent. Of course, I do not direct individuals but statisticians have quoted their names which I can include next time with proper references, if you wish. Come on, I 'm concerned and hence this question. (http://live.worldbank.org/africa-sharing-economic-growth )
Q. 115. It has been observed by many Economists and Statisticians that only some hundred odd political or business power houses in Africa and Asia have more benefited than riches reaching to common man. Later, these people also have become ruler or politically accepted leaders as well in lot of countries, and as these leaders have imperialistic mindset hence they cannot share their wealth with so called common man. The best examples are growing billionaires in India. Thus, proving, change in mindset is the best solution over this. Now, what world Bank is doing to change this mind set of leaders, businessmen and politicians of Africa and Asia? Finally, we feel, this is world over phenomenon, those who hold power and / or money, it may be individual or organisations or states, they do not want to share and lose their importance and want to remain special stars or persons or states or organisations. What UNO and World Bank is doing to let everyone including poor countries, and individual feel that they are also important in this integrated world? Also, why world bank do not target the governments of the states, for getting desired results over this issue? Sorry for this direct question but my question was not answered last time, hence, raised this more direct question, as it has direct effect on African and Asian continent. Of course, I do not target directly any individuals as I'm not against any individual, but lot of researchers have quoted their names which I can include next time with proper references, if you wish. Come on, and please note, I 'm concerned and hence these questions, as I've started feeling that even after 1000 years or 1000000 years also we'll be discussing these questions as none is serious to implement idealistic solutions that I want to implement or you want to implement as well. Hope these questions will find place in your discussions. (http://live.worldbank.org/making-everyone-count#question
Q. 116. ? Hope Detroit downfall has proved that not only in USA but also around the world, also, not only in public sector but also in private sector, only and only profit cannot be the motive of any organization and value chain. E.g. For earning more profit only Big 3 started outsourcing to cheaper manufacturers all over the world. Now, none of USA automobile giant is top Automobile Company in the world. What we called BIG 3 as GM, Ford and DCX, has been already looked changed Toyota, and Volkswagen, has become the top most. China has more than couple of dozen auto companies which could be among the top 25 in the world soon due to, unique Chinese ability to connecting to poor and manufacturing everything at cheaper cost by making skills known at the bottom of the pyramid. Hope you'll touch this point. Why none of Chinese companies find any value in Indian or Japanese or Russian or USA companies, however, everyone find China as destination in their value chain for 'high quality and value at cheap cost'? Thus, what kind of value chain are we talking about is also important. I'm not against China, but, China has hit the bulls eye of world Trade and hence has become number one trading nation on earth now, hence, this question, though this is the basic question, what kind of value chain are we talking about here?

Q. 117. It has been observed by many Researchers, Economists and Statisticians that only some hundred odd political or business power houses in Africa and Asia have more benefited than riches reaching to common man. Later, these people also have become ruler or politically accepted leaders as well in lot of countries, and as these leaders have imperialistic mindset hence they cannot share their wealth with so called common man. The best examples are growing billionaires in India. Thus, proving, change in mindset is the best solution over this. Now, what world Bank is doing to change this mind set of leaders, businessmen and politicians of Africa and Asia, because this has direct impact on measuring poverty and prosperity? Finally, we feel, this is a world over phenomenon, those who hold power and / or money, it may be individual or organisations or states, they do not want to share and lose their importance and want to remain special stars or persons or states or organisations either by holding patent even if world is dying of some disease or.....this or that.... What UNO and World Bank is doing to let everyone including poor countries, and individual feel that they are also important in this integrated world? Also, why world bank do not target the governments of the states, for getting the desired results over this issue? Are UNO, World Bank and Internet have become puppet in the hands of few countries, as Hon. Mr. Putin, has predicted some time back? Sorry for this direct question but my question was not answered last time, hence, raised this more direct question, as it has direct effect on African and Asian continent and measuring this prosperity or poverty or this or that . Of course, I do not target directly any individuals as I'm not against any individual, but lot of researchers have quoted their names which I can include next time with proper references, if you wish. Come on, and please note, I 'm concerned and hence these questions, as I've started feeling that even after 1000 years or 1000000 years also we'll be discussing these questions as none is serious to implement idealistic solutions that I want to implement or you want to implement as well. Hope these questions will find place in your discussions.
Q. 118. If it is predicted that Mumbai and Kolkata are going to be drowned in sea within 100 odd years due to global warming, then why Indian Government is investing trillions of dollars there and not in the safer cities like Nagpur, which is centrally located in India? Why not slow migration is planned in advanced to vacate these cities like Kolkata and Mumbai? None listens to me in India hence, raising question at world level, as it's matter of worth 10 trillion USD and lives of more than 500 million people, by that time. Similar things are applicable for Dhaka in Bangladesh, Male in Maldives, and other places. Are we so obsessed with short term goals that we are forgetting to invest in future of human civilization? Why idealistic, devoted, truthful and honest people like me are always sidelined? Why UNO and WB do not call us to serve them, and rather ask us to apply 100 times to serve them? Are the jobs in WB and UNO fixed and are not merit based and inclusive, for such cause too, and just to benefit few countries? Frankly, even if you don't call to serve, still, if such questions are being raised it means existence of UNO and WB itself is in trouble as people are losing faith in them, and it doesn't mind, even though their visibility it increasing still their contribution is being doubted by 'many' is the conclusion and is matter of greater to greatest concern. Hope, these teething question are touched in this discussion. As also a past citizen of Mumbai, I'm interested in inclusive growth hence also this question.

Q. 120. Also, I've a simple objection over here, the question which are asked first should be dealt first, but, some people bully over the live discussion and then his/ her questions are answered first. Any how it's up to you to decide which question you can answer and avoid, but, sooner of later, such teething questions, this world will have to take care.
Q. 121. Hope these genuine questions are answered in this important discussion, as I'm really concerned about future of this world, as I've already predicted long back that there will be depression in some part world over economies in the year 2015 i.e. next year, and then in 2022, and this cycle years of depression will reduce later from 7 years to 3 years, etc. unless some amicable solutions are not found out, and world is not freed from Wars and extreme inequalities, and if MDG are not achieved in prescribed time.
Q. 122. Please note, I'm not against any individual or organisation or nation, but, as concerned about this world hence, these teething questions....

Q. 123. Discussion on Adams Smith:
"Wealth of Nation" is a very big word and inclusive philosophy itself. If he forgets to write some part of it, that doesn't mean he neglected something....e.g. if he is not a Medical Practitioner or ....he will not write about that...hope...this point will be discussed well. Alfred Noble or Einstein or Gandhi or Buddha or ....all have made their mark and we've to move, think something higher and level further....with more inclusive and more conclusive ...let's respect the legacy set by our ancestors from which so ever country or race or religion or caste or creed or city or .....may be.
Q. 124: Youth Forum: 2015: MDG seems...: The Youth Dialogues: Post-2015 Agenda:
Since long I have been saying MDG seems to be pipe dream looking at the high handed approach. Why can't we've a realistic planning for extended time of coming 25 years, with transparency in planning and implementation at each and every micro level? Why can't WB itself disclose it's each and every penny spent on it's website so that it builds trust among people, the common man to the people who sponsor? Otherwise, it will continue for ever and MDG will be discussed by my great-great-great-great grand children with your counter parts. Like what we say in India UNO and WB will become decorative organisation unless and until, UNO acts as a Inclusive Super Government of the world and WB acts as a Inclusive Super Federal Bank of the world as regulator and policy makers and controller and implementer. Even if humans go to Moon or Mars, they will require such United but Democratic Government, then why not it starts now, so that MDG are achievable? If this world is serious then, please answer this unanswered question till date. I've been saying this (About super government by UNO) since my childhood that is since 1979 (The year it was declared international year of child-English/ Vishwa Balak Warsh-Hindi), when first time I came to know about UNO, but, people laughed at me, hope you listen to me now as expert myself, and, if you don't listen to me, take my prophecy we'll be laughed by next generations, hence, also, expect this question to be part of your discussion.....Dr. Ashish Manohar Urkude, India.
Q. 125: Question asked to President World Bank and His Highness Prince Williams, Duke of Cambridge: http://live.worldbank.org/take-on-corruption-ending-impunity-featuring-prince-william#question
I've the same question that I asked to Dr. Jane, which was unanswered till date. In most of the Metro Cities, it's observed that Police can tell who has stolen a person's wallet, with name, address and other details. Ex. in Mumbai it has already happened. Also, in Jim Corbett National Park also it has happened that a poacher was caught in similar fashion. Now, my question is, doesn't it look fishy if the real culprits are not caught with all kinds of intelligence available around the world and still corruption, poaching, terrorism, environmental damage continues in this world? Finally, are we going to end it ASAP or will this issue be discussed in the year 2200 AD by my grand-grand children and with your counter parts? Also, don't you feel UNO should be Super Government of the world and WB should be Federal Bank of this world, other wise, I have already made prophecy these things will continue forever and those who laugh at me would repent in future? Hope this issue will be discussed in your all important discussion.
Q. 126. I think, looking at the whistle-blowers been targeted by the great
corrupts, thus the laws/ legal systems in most of the countries failed/
fail/ will fail to protect them politically, administratively, and
socially .....Then, why can't there be one universal law for such
important things like corruption and environmental issues and terrorism?
Otherwise, it will continue forever and then these would be discussed
at least for one million years from now. Hope you include this important
point in your all important discussion, please.Q. 127. http://live.worldbank.org/live-chat-corruption-hunters-alliance

Q. 128.
......................................
and many more Questions asked and will be asked .....
other questions asked in the WB open forum/ speak up/ open discussion/ online discussions in the past requires some research as I lost them.....however, I raised those/ such questions through, research papers or news paper/ daily articles since 1996. However, after Ph.D. when I came to know about some realities of life, since, 2004 I'm active part of World Bank, World Economic Forum ....UNO...discussions, by God's Grace. I'm worried about this world. While thinking about this world, and it's well-being I could not sleep many nights. Even yesterday, I had a dream that I was trying to pursue few super rich people to give some food to the poor on one side, but in vain. The rich, who were drinking and making merry and enjoying life and throwing wine bottles, but were not, interested in giving as they felt by giving, the poor will start remaining dependent on them. Then, I requested these super rich .....but I failed.
God bless this earth and everyone, every entity and everything.
