How good is your Road Safety Knowledge - Test your self against 170 questions

26 August 2008 - 2:17am — asj
For some time now I have been working towards making available an Interactive road safety quiz database for Indian road users.  
Here is the entire quiz database of 170 questions available as two interactive quiz e-book's to test your knowledge of road safety related issues. This is a free downloadable resource for all who are preparing to sit the theory driving test as a part of licensing procedure. The latter is rare as most states in India still have not implemented a mandatory theory test for learner drivers. Hope is that Road Traffic Authorities in India use the above as a starting point for implementing a mandatory theory test for all new learner drivers. This resource is also likely to be a perfect way of refreshing the knowledge base of those who have been driving for several years.

Medical Services for All

India is a growing economy with emerging intelligent and talented people who are rendering their services mostly to the west either directly staying there or offline from India, particularly Bangalore. Lot of Bangalore IT companies develop software for American, UK or German insurance companies. But, our own country is deprived of these kind of insurance to all. People who work in IT are covered by their companies. Government employees are covered by some schemes or the other. Few factories are covered by CGHS scheme.

Bangalore Traffic Woes, avoid ad hoc solutions please!

Bangalore, keeping in pace with other cities in the world, has grown exponentially over the past half a century. The Key question while planning traffic solutions for such a growing city obviously would be “how to account for possible future growth?” Bangalore has a very good example in the Kempe Gouda Towers. Kempe Gouda had in his wisdom estimated the boundaries of Bangalore and built the Towers known after him.

RTI through Consumer Clubs

25 August 2008 - 2:28pm — murali772

THE Right to Information Act makes it obligatory on the part of the Government to educate the public about RTI. By this time the Central and State Governments should have published user guides to help citizens use RTI effectively. Now after three years, there is talk of introducing RTI in the school syllabus.

A successful unique story in analysing, planning, developing and executing a city development plan of sorts. This exercise has to be one very good example to come out in the modern times... The Beijing Olympics 2008, and related infrastructure development.

Here is the Beijing Olympic Action Plan.

And to highlight the achievement, here is an extract from Section I.4.
