Country of Diversities?

Times of India reported today that there is a crisis looming as "godowns overflow with grain". With the godowns already full and the Kharif harvest to happen in the coming months, there is a possibility that the harvested grains may rot in the expected monsoon. The farmers, who are expected to benefit from the bountiful harvest are also frustrated and threaten to throw the paddy on the streets and declare a crop holiday. This being the case in places like U.P and M.P, the state of Bihar continues to get a short supply of food grains. There are also reported starvation deaths from other corners of the country. This, I remember, is not the first year we hear about the shortage of storage space. 


It is not an uncommon feature to hear about floods in some parts while the other parts of the country reel under 'unexceptional drought' and people in metropolitan cities buy water at Rs 15/= a litre?


The power position is never discussed until April/May and suddenly come summer, the authorities plan for power cuts ranging from one to five hours ! Can this be advanced with a better vision and power saved during Jan to March, could be better spread during summer peak, to avoid discomfort.


Is there a plan to bridge the gap?  We actually do not seem to have shortfalls but in trying to bridge the gaps, we seem to be falling short ! A better planning with a farther vision should make the living a lot better? Will the concerned authorities act please?
