Here are the problems I think Trichy has -
Attitude of the people...There is a very narrow thinking and never thinks of productivity. Trying to be lazy. Not doing the work properly. Very conservative...Priorities are trivial and not very productive....Never allow others to progress...
Illiteracy....Not much education...Less awareness among people...
Health issues...Due to lack of awareness and poverty, there are many health issues... have already discussed as a separate topic in previous articles...
Population....Too many births...Not being aware about the population control programmes...
Poverty...There is a huge percentage still under poveryt line..Not even having the basic things like - food, water and shelter!!
Government....Till now there had been never a very good government for making the city productive...
Corrupt Administration...Administration had been corrupt at most of the times and things...Never been a very clean administration. Every point and node is corrupt in the administrative system of the government...Even if the administration is clean, the politicians never leave them alone...
Rowdism, Gangism...Not much law and order is maintained...Many Robberies, rapes, Crimes. Every one tries to take weapons - Aruval(Sickle kind of knife)...Police is corrupt even...So there is not much law and order maintained....
Definitely not environmental friendly...
Brain Drain...All the best human resources move out of the city...to madras/chennai, bangalore, hyderabad, mumbai, America/abroad....
Very few people follow rules...Even take for example traffic rules...very less people follow it...
Amidst all these, many are lazy and not being productive...just laze around and being a load to the earth's gravity...
I am sometimes very angry about the above facts...Sometimes I become very pity to the people...sometimes feeling like doing something for these people, which I will eventually do...
Sometimes I become emotional and even shed tears thinking about the situation...
Anyway, whatever it is - we should do some action to get rid of these problems...We should knock these problems out and become a strong city and stand as an example to the state, country...and in fact to the world...
If this continues in every city, we will never become a developed nation, and always remain a third world country...
in fact, most of these issues are discussed in newtrichy.in and aimed to be solved in a long-term. Check out http://www.newtrichy.in
I will be talking about the potential advantages in Trichy, in my next article...

Problems in Trichy - Part I
Here is a text from wikipedia.org, which states about the present problems in Trichy -
Though there is no dearth of talent in Trichy, thanks to the Engineering and Science colleges in the city, it has not been able to retain the pool of qualified professionals. During the years following the Information Technology boom that swept across the country, the city saw an exodus of professionals to other urban centers, such as Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai, which offered them better opportunities.
Many blame the state government for limiting industrial development to northern Tamil Nadu, Chennai and its adjacent districts in particular, and cite this as the reason southern Tamil Nadu is industrially underdeveloped. While this claim may not be totally invalid, the main reason Trichy is industrially underdeveloped lies in the fact that there is a definite lack of initiative and poor self-esteem amongst the local populace. The elite and professionals who ought to guide their fellow citizens into the new economy shrug away from their responsibilities, and worse, move to other cities looking for greener pastures and settle down there.
I shall talk about the problems and strengths I think Trichy has....
Unlike many other historical cities that have been reduced to small towns, hamlets and ruins in the modern age, Trichy still remains a "city" and a major regional hub of commerce. However, it is a concerning fact that it has failed to achieve the progress it should have and its city ranking has sunk in the past few decades. Not only has it failed to attract new domestic and foreign investments, but it has also failed to capitalize on its inherent strengths.

Trichy filled with Superstitions
Things should change. While there are many things to be changed or transformed in Trichy, here is one thing I would like to mention here in this article. Superstitious believes has to be changed and more rational thoughts has to be in people's heads.
Some of the instances are here -
1. If someone sits on a pillow, they say we will get into debts.
2. If we shake the lock of the door, father and mother would fight or argue on some point it seems.
3. If the baby bites her leg toes, then it is not good for the mother's brother.
these are just samples...Even very educated people are listening to vaasthu - changing their kitchen into reading room and reading room is becoming kitchen...I am not sure why do even educated persons change, due to the society. People are not rational in their thinking. This is probably due to societal pressure.
Still people are checking out ashtami, dasami, navami and checking calendars for doing things. If there is something good to be done, why do you check for good times. All times are good times.
These are some of the things, which block the productivity of the people, the state and the country!
These are definitely some of the reasons, we will remain as a third world country and never become a developed nation!!:-????

What a crazy idea?
Within 5 years timeframe, anybody who does not have a colour television will be given a colour television by the government!! This is what the ruling government respected Chief Minister Dr. Kalaignar Karunanidhi says to tamil nadu people.
In 5 years, there won't be anybody in tamil nadu without a color television, it seems. In total the budget seems to be 750 crores for this particular project.
What is the use? What a non-productive idea?! Will this make people work more and make the state and country gain more or even the people won't get prosperous? Instead people will become dumb...Will people understand what a flaw-filled policy this is?! Whose money is all these?! Who is approving this? Did People approve this? It's all tax money of the properly tax paying middle-class people.
Please think about it!! and open as many eyes as possible!
Watch this video for Respected Chief Minister's speech on this...
