Thanks Tej for your tip. 

It is a totally different ball game in China. 

In Assam we lack leaders to take decisions and start working. For example:

            The 3rd Annual Conference organized of Assam Forum of Great
Britain took place on 13th September 2014 at the London School of Economics.
During the discussions Professor Arup Sarma of IIT Guwahati expressed his
frustration, and illustrated the fundamental problem of implementation of
projects by citing an actual example. 

            A thorough study of the Guwahati flash flood was carried out by
the IIT in 1999 and identified where the water flows come from; and
accordingly technical solutions were recommended. But because of the lack of
a central authority to implement the various construction works, the various
departments were willing to do only the bit that is in their administrative
purview. 

            There was, thus, administrative chaos without any department
taking the lead; and the plans were ultimately not implemented.

And what have China realised so far? Today's New York Times carried the
following article.

o-make-great-wall-feel-small-.html?ref=todayspaper

 

Despite economic choppiness, the country that built the Great Wall is
attaining new superlatives in bridges, tunnels, rail links and other
projects of immense size - and expense.
