There is a biblical benchmark I now use. We will refer to this criterion for every hard question, big idea, topic, assessment of our own obedience, every “should” or “should not” and “will” or “will not” we ascribe to God, every theological sound bite. Here it is: If it isn’t also true for a poor single Christian mom in Haiti, it isn’t true. If a sermon promises health and wealth to the faithful, it isn’t true, because that theology makes God an absolute monster who only blesses rich westerners and despises Christians in Africa, India, China, South America, Russia, rural Appalachia, inner-city America, and everywhere else a sincere believer remains poor. If it isn’t also true for a poor single Christian mom in Haiti, it isn’t true.

I am talking of a place in India, at least a third of the country, a fertile place, full of rice fields and wheat fields and ponds in the middle of those fields choked with lotuses and water lilies, and water buffaloes wading through the ponds and chewing on the lotuses and lilies. Those who live in this place call it the Darkness. Please understand, Your Excellency, that India is two countries in one: an India of Light, and an India of Darkness. The ocean brings light to my country. Every place on the map of India near the ocean is well off. But the river brings darkness to India—the black river.

I have grown up listening to my grandparents’ stories about ‘the other side’ of the border. But, as a child, this other side didn’t quite register as Pakistan, or not-India, but rather as some mythic land devoid of geographic borders, ethnicity and nationality. In fact, through their stories, I imagined it as a land with mango orchards, joint families, village settlements, endless lengths of ancestral fields extending into the horizon, and quaint local bazaars teeming with excitement on festive days. As a result, the history of my grandparents’ early lives in what became Pakistan essentially came across as a very idyllic, somewhat rural, version of happiness.

The British succeeded. India deindustrialized, it ruralized. As the industrial revolution spread in England, India was turning into a poor, ruralized and agrarian country. It wasn’t until 1846, when their competitors had been destroyed and they were way ahead, that Britain suddenly discovered the merits of free trade. Read the British liberal historians, the big advocates of free trade—they were very well aware of it. Right through that period they say: “Look, what we’re doing to India isn’t pretty, but there’s no other way for the mills of Manchester to survive. We have to destroy the competition.

A man opposite me shifted his feet, accidentally brushing his foot against mine. It was a gentle touch, barely noticeable, but the man immediately reached out to touch my knee and then his own chest with the fingertips of his right hand, in the Indian gesture of apology for an unintended offence. In the carriage and the corridor beyond, the other passengers were similarly respectful, sharing, and solicitous with one another. At first, on that first journey out of the city into India, I found such sudden politeness infuriating after the violent scramble to board the train. It seemed hypocritical for them to show such deferential concern over a nudge with a foot when, minutes before, they'd all but pushed one another out of the windows. Now, long years and many journeys after that first ride on a crowded rural train, I know that the scrambled fighting and courteous deference were both expressions of the one philosophy: the doctrine of necessity. The amount of force and violence necessary to board the train, for example, was no less and no more than the amount of politeness and consideration necessary to ensure that the cramped journey was as pleasant as possible afterwards. What is necessary! That was the unspoken but implied and unavoidable question everywhere in India. When I understood that, a great many of the characteristically perplexing aspects of public life became comprehensible: from the acceptance of sprawling slums by city authorities, to the freedom that cows had to roam at random in the midst of traffic; from the toleration of beggars on the streets, to the concatenate complexity of the bureaucracies; and from the gorgeous, unashamed escapism of Bollywood movies, to the accommodation of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Tibet, Iran, Afghanistan, Africa, and Bangladesh, in a country that was already too crowded with sorrows and needs of its own. The real hypocrisy, I came to realise, was in the eyes and minds and criticisms of those who came from lands of plenty, where none had to fight for a seat on a train. Even on that first train ride, I knew in my heart that Didier had been right when he'd compared India and its billion souls to France. I had an intuition, echoing his thought, that if there were a billion Frenchmen or Australians or Americans living in such a small space, the fighting to board the train would be much more, and the courtesy afterwards much less. And in truth, the politeness and consideration shown by the peasant farmers, travelling salesmen, itinerant workers, and returning sons and fathers and husbands did make for an agreeable journey, despite the cramped conditions and relentlessly increasing heat. Every available centimetre of seating space was occupied, even to the sturdy metal luggage racks over our heads. The men in the corridor took turns to sit or squat on a section of floor that had been set aside and cleaned for the purpose. Every man felt the press of at least two other bodies against his own. Yet there wasn't a single display of grouchiness or bad temper

The root of disaster means a star coming apart, and no image expresses better the look in a patient’s eyes when hearing a neurosurgeon’s diagnosis. Sometimes the news so shocks the mind that the brain suffers an electrical short. This phenomenon is known as a “psychogenic” syndrome, a severe version of the swoon some experience after hearing bad news. When my mother, alone at college, heard that her father, who had championed her right to an education in rural 1960s India, had finally died after a long hospitalization, she had a psychogenic seizure—which continued until she returned home to attend the funeral.

The destruction of artisanal industries by colonial trade policies did not just impact the artisans themselves. The British monopoly of industrial production drove Indians to agriculture beyond levels the land could sustain. This in turn had a knock-on effect on the peasants who worked the land, by causing an influx of newly disenfranchised people, formerly artisans, who drove down rural wages. In many rural families, women had spun and woven at home while their men tilled the fields; suddenly both were affected, and if weather or drought reduced their agricultural work, there was no back-up source of income from cloth. Rural poverty was a direct result of British actions.

The Swedish author and journalist Lasse Berg wrote an excellent report from rural India in the 1970s. When he returned 25 years later, he could see clearly how living conditions had improved. Pictures from his visit in the 1970s showed earthen floors, clay walls, half-naked children, and the eyes of villagers with low self-esteem and little knowledge of the outside world. They were a stark contrast to the concrete houses of the late 1990s, where well-dressed children played and self-confident and curious villagers watched TV. When Lasse showed the villagers the 1970s pictures they couldn’t believe the photos were taken in their neighborhood. “No,” they said. “This can’t be here. You must be mistaken. We have never been that poor.” Like most people, they were living in the moment, busy with new problems, like the children watching immoral soap operas or not having enough money to buy a motorbike.

The first to go hungry were the landless ‘labourers, the workmen, the manufacturers and people employed in the river [boatmen]’ as they ‘were without the same means of laying by stores of grain as the husbandmen’.5 These, the rural artisans and the urban poor, unprotected and with no safety net, were the first to sicken from malnutrition, then, one by one, to begin dying from starvation or disease. By February 1770, when around 70 per cent of the usual rice crop had been lost, and the price of rice was ten times its normal rate, the hunger started to become much more widespread.

But there was a lacuna in Nehru’s concept of science: he saw it exclusively in terms of laboratory science, not field science; physics and molecular biology, not ecology, botany, or agronomy. He understood that India’s farmers were poor in part because they were unproductive—they harvested much less grain per acre than farmers elsewhere in the world. But unlike Borlaug, Nehru and his ministers believed that the poor harvests were due not to lack of technology—artificial fertilizer, irrigated water, and high-yield seeds—but to social factors like inefficient management, misallocation of land, lack of education, rigid application of the caste system, and financial speculation (large property owners were supposedly hoarding their wheat and rice until they could get better prices). This was not crazy: more than one out of five families in rural India owned no land at all, and about two out of five owned less than 2.5 acres, not enough land to feed themselves. Meanwhile, a tiny proportion of absentee landowners controlled huge swathes of terrain. The solution to rural poverty, Nehru therefore believed, was less new technology than new policies: give land from big landowners to ordinary farmers, free the latter from the burdens of caste, and then gather the liberated smallholders into more-efficient, technician-advised cooperatives. This set of ideas had the side benefit of fitting nicely into Nehru’s industrial policy: enacting them would cost next to nothing, reserving more money for building factories.

Generally, it is clear that things that make life less boring are a priority for the poor. This may be a television, or a little bit of something special to eat—or just a cup of sugary tea. Even Pak Solhin had a television, although it was not working when we visited him. Festivals may be seen in this light as well. Where televisions or radios are not available, it is easy to see why the poor often seek out the distraction of a special family celebration of some kind, a religious observance, or a daughter’s wedding. In our eighteen-country data set, it is clear that the poor spend more on festivals when they are less likely to have a radio or a television. In Udaipur, India, where almost no one has a television, the extremely poor spend 14 percent of their budget on festivals (which includes both lay and religious occasions). By contrast, in Nicaragua, where 58 percent of rural poor households have a radio and 11 percent own a television, very few households report spending anything on festivals.33

THE GLOBE | Unlocking the Wealth in Rural Markets Mamta Kapur, Sanjay Dawar, and Vineet R. Ahuja | 151 words In India and other large emerging economies, rural markets hold great promise for boosting corporate earnings. Companies that sell in the countryside, however, face poor infrastructure, widely dispersed customers, and other challenges. To better understand the obstacles and how to overcome them, the authors—researchers with Accenture—conducted extensive surveys and interviews with Indian business leaders in multiple industries. Their three-year study revealed several successful strategies for increasing revenues and profits in rural markets: Start with a good distribution plan. The most effective approaches are multipronged—for example, adding extra layers to existing networks and engaging local partners to create new ones. Mine data to identify prospective customers. Combining site visits, market surveys, and GIS mapping can help companies discover new buyers. Forge tight bonds with channel partners. It pays to spend time and money helping distributors and retailers improve their operations. Create durable ties with customers. Companies can build loyalty by addressing customers’ welfare and winning the trust of community leaders.

If it isn’t also true for a poor single Christian mom in Haiti, it isn’t true. If doctrine elevates a woman’s married-with-children status as her highest calling, it isn’t true, because that omits single believers (whose status Paul considered preferable), widows, the childless by choice or fate or loss, the divorced, and the celibate gay. If these folks are second-class citizens in the kingdom because they aren’t married with children, then God just excluded millions of people from gospel work, and I guess they should just eat rocks and die. If it isn’t also true for a poor single Christian mom in Haiti, it isn’t true. Theology is either true everywhere or it isn’t true anywhere. This helps untangle us from the American God Narrative and sets God free to be God instead of the My-God-in-a-Pocket I carried for so long. It lends restraint when declaring what God does or does not think, because sometimes my portrayal of God’s ways sounds suspiciously like the American Dream and I had better check myself.

MY DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH makes it crystal clear that emerging countries, outside of China and a few others like Thailand, will dominate demographic growth in the next global boom. But the even more powerful factor is the urbanization process, with the typical emerging country only 50 percent urbanized, as compared with 85 percent in the typical developed country. In emerging countries, urbanization increases household income as much as three times from its level in rural areas. As people move into the cities, they also climb the social and economic ladder into the middle class. With the cycles swirling around us for the next several years and the force of revolution reshaping our world, emerging markets are in the best position to come booming out the other side. That’s why investors and businesses should be investing more in emerging countries when this crash likely sees its worst, by early 2020. My research is unique when it comes to projecting urbanization, GDP per capita gains from it, and demographic workforce growth trends and peaks in emerging countries. It’s not what I’m most known for, but it’s the most strategic factor in the next global boom, which emerging countries will dominate. As a general guideline, those in South and Southeast Asia, from the Philippines to India and Pakistan, have strong demographic growth, urbanization trends, and productivity gains ahead. This is not the case for China, though. Latin America has mostly strong demographic growth, but limited continued urbanization and productivity gains. Much of the Middle East and Africa have not joined the democratic-capitalism party, but those regions otherwise have the most extreme urbanization and demographic potential. One day they’ll be the best places to invest, but not yet.

Fasal is an online system that connects farmers in rural India directly with market agents and other buyers. Via Fasal, farmers can quickly learn the price of goods at a number of nearby markets, choose the sales location most advantageous to them, and use the data to negotiate a better deal, a challenge that exists around the world.2 Sangeet Choudary, one of the authors of this book, led the commercialization and launch of the Fasal initiative. One of the challenges facing Choudary and his team was figuring out what kind of communications infrastructure they could use to enable producers and consumers to share value units. They realized that the big advantage working in their favor was cell phones. More than half of Indian farmers, even the poorest, own and use cell phones. In fact, as in much of the developing world, cell phone use in rural India has spread rapidly. Cellular telephony, with its instant communications capability, became the conduit for the market data the small farmers so desperately needed.

Expand your egg business through latest technologies
In India, poultry farming is still lagging behind in terms of infrastructure, skilled manpower and resources. Government has tried to overcome troubles but still egg farm owners in semi-urban or rural areas aren’t utilized technologies due to lack of knowledge and training. On the contrary, farmers in foreign countries develop smart egg processed plant to produce better quality eggs. Technologies are playing keen role to expand egg business sector. Indian farmers should be trained on modern-day technologies to increase productivity.
Fast-growing population demanded delicious egg dishes, thus people who are interested to run a restaurant probably sell eggs. Here also you can use technology to develop effective management system, inventory solutions and check product quality as well. It goes without saying that egg industry encompasses varies business categories but you should involve technology to make most advantage and profits. There is trend among foreign countries to cut down cost on unnecessary labours thus they are concentrating on emerging technologies.

Masters are under no cosmic compulsion to limit their residence.” My companion glanced at me quizzically. “The Himalayas in India and Tibet have no monopoly on saints. What one does not trouble to find within will not be discovered by transporting the body hither and yon. As soon as the devotee is willing to go even to the ends of the earth for spiritual enlightenment, his guru appears nearby.” I silently agreed, recalling my prayer in the Benares hermitage, followed by the meeting with Sri Yukteswar in a crowded lane. “Are you able to have a little room where you can close the door and be alone?” “Yes.” I reflected that this saint descended from the general to the particular with disconcerting speed. “That is your cave.” The yogi bestowed on me a gaze of illumination which I have never forgotten. “That is your sacred mountain. That is where you will find the kingdom of God.” His simple words instantaneously banished my life-long obsession for the Himalayas. In a burning paddy field I awoke from the monticolous dreams of eternal snows. “Young sir, your divine thirst is laudable. I feel great love for you.” Ram Gopal took my hand and led me to a quaint hamlet. The adobe houses were covered with coconut leaves and adorned with rustic entrances. The saint seated me on the umbrageous bamboo platform of his small cottage. After giving me sweetened lime juice and a piece of rock candy, he entered his patio and assumed the lotus posture. In about four hours, I opened my meditative eyes and saw that the moonlit figure of the yogi was still motionless. As I was sternly reminding my stomach that man does not live by bread alone, Ram Gopal approached me. “I see you are famished; food will be ready soon.” A fire was kindled under a clay oven on the patio; rice and dal were quickly served on large banana leaves. My host courteously refused my aid in all cooking chores. ‘The guest is God,’ a Hindu proverb, has commanded devout observance from time immemorial. In my later world travels, I was charmed to see that a similar respect for visitors is manifested in rural sections of many countries. The city dweller finds the keen edge of hospitality blunted by superabundance of strange faces.

One of the standing examples of Gujarat strides in solar power is the Charanka Solar Power Generation Park in North Gujarat which was raised in just one year. The park, which is today Asia’s biggest single-point solar generation facility, produces 225 MW of solar power by 22 private producers who have invested Rs 3400 crores in the park. A work force of 5,000 worked on it for 1 year during peak hours everyday. Says D.J. Pandian, Gujarat’s Energy Secretary: ‘Charanka is a shining example of Gujarat’s enterprise and efficiency.’ What is more, the governance in the energy sector is not marked by just goal setting and achieving. It is a reflection of farsightedness of a rare kind that isn’t visible elsewhere in India. It is best demonstrated in its steps to control the depleting water table with an eye on future. In an age in which populism and vote-bank politics are the norm in Indian democracy, the Modi Government has purposely kept the supply of agriculture power to 8 hours though it can afford to give more power with an eye on rural votes, power being surplus now. The reason is simple, the more the power to the farm sector, the greater the exploitation of groundwater by farmers wanting to earn more by producing more. Striking this fine balance between the farmers’ needs and balancing the natural resources is seen as a fine example of precise planning and farsighted governance free of populism. Interestingly, Modi has been able to maintain this balance even in the face of electoral pressures. In 2012, an election year, the Modi Government did allow new bore connections to farmers in 40 banned tehsils but with a rider: those taking new connections would have to adopt drip or sprinkler method of irrigation which consumes less water and therefore less power.

This could be due to differences between religious calendars and secular calendars, or it could be that the religious birth date is selected for other reasons. Depending on how you ask people for their birth date, you may get either their actual or religious birth date. In other situations, the government may assign a birth date. For example, in some rural areas of India, children are assigned a legal birth date based on their first day in elementary school. So you need to exercise caution in using birth date as an attribute in matching individuals, and you also have to consider how information is gathered. • Names can also be challenging. In some cultures, people have official and religious names. So again, it is important to understand how and why an individual might give one or the other and perhaps provide the capability to support both. • In some countries, there are multiple government identification systems for taxation, social services, military service, and other purposes. In some of these schemes, an individual may, for instance, have multiple tax ID numbers: one that represents the individual and another that might represent individuals in their role as head of household or head of clan. • Different languages and cultures represent family relationships in different ways. In some languages, specific terms and honorifics reflect relationships that don’t have equivalents in other languages. Therefore, as you look at understanding relationships and householding, you have to accommodate these nuances. • Address information is country-specific and, in some cases, also region-specific within a country. Not all countries have postal codes. Many countries allow an address to be descriptive, such as “3rd house behind the church.” We have found this in parts Europe as well as other parts of the world.

During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries about 85 per cent of the population of India lived in its villages. Both peasants and landed elites were involved in agricultural production and claimed r i g h t s t o a s h a r e o f t h e p r o d u c e .

At the same time agencies from outside also entered into the rural world. Most important among these was the Mughal state, which der ived the bulk of its income from agricultural production. Agents of the state – revenue assessors, collectors, record keepers – sought to control rural society so as to ensure that cultivation took place and the s t a t e g o t i t s r e g u l a r s h a r e o f t a x e s f r o m t h e produce. Since many crops were grown for sale, trade, money and markets entered the villages and linked the agricultural areas with the towns.

Rather than a state of equal brotherhood and sisterhood, Kim had introduced an elaborate social order in which the eleven million ordinary North Korean citizens were classified according to their perceived political reliability. The songbun system, as it was known, ruthlessly reorganized the entire social system of North Korea into a communistic pseudofeudal system, with every individual put through eight separate background checks, their family history taken into account as far back as their grandparents and second cousins. Your final rating, or songbun, put you in one of fifty-one grades, divided into three broad categories, from top to bottom: the core class, the wavering class, and the hostile class. The hostile class included vast swathes of society, from the politically suspect (“people from families of wealthy farmers, merchants, industrialists, landowners; pro-Japan and pro-U.S. people; reactionary bureaucrats; defectors from the South; Buddhists, Catholics, expelled public officials”) to kiaesaeng (the Korean equivalent of geishas) and mudang (rural shamans). Although North Koreans weren’t informed of their new classification, it quickly became clear to most people what class they had been assigned. North Koreans of the hostile class were banned from living in Pyongyang or in the most fertile areas of the countryside, and they were excluded from any good jobs. There was virtually no upward mobility—once hostile, forever hostile—but plenty downward. If you were found to be doing anything that was illegal or frowned upon by the regime, you and your family’s songbun would suffer. Personal files were kept locked away in local offices, and were backed up in the offices of the Ministry for the Protection of State Security and in a blast-resistant vault in the mountains of Yanggang province. There was no way to tamper with your status, and no way to escape it. The most cunning part of it all was that Kim Il-Sung came up with a way for his subjects to enforce their own oppression by organizing the people into inminban (“people’s groups”), cooperatives of twenty or so families per neighborhood whose duty it was to keep tabs on one another and to inform on any potentially criminal or subversive behavior. These were complemented by kyuch’aldae, mobile police units on constant lookout for infringers, who had the authority to burst into your home or office at any time of day or night. Offenses included using more than your allocated quota of electricity, wearing blue jeans, wearing clothes bearing Roman writing (a “capitalist indulgence”) and allowing your hair to grow longer than the authorized length. Worse still, Kim decreed that any one person’s guilt also made that person’s family, three generations of it, guilty of the same crime. Opposing the regime meant risking your grandparents, your wife, your children—no matter how young—being imprisoned and tortured with you. Historically, Koreans had been subject to a caste system similar to India’s and equally as rigid. In the early years of the DPRK, the North Korean people felt this was just a modernized revitalization of that traditional social structure. By the time they realized something was awfully wrong, that a pyramid had been built, and that at the top of it, on the very narrow peak, sat Kim Il-Sung, alone, perched on the people’s broken backs, on their murdered families and friends, on their destroyed lives—by the time they paused and dared to contemplate that their liberator, their savior, was betraying them—in fact, had always betrayed them—it was already much, much too late.

There is also a long tradition in developing countries of governments using price and tax policies to benefit the urban sector at the cost of the rural. Many countries in Africa in the 1970s created what they called agricultural marketing boards. This was a cruel joke, since many of the boards were intended to prevent the marketing of produce so the board could buy it at the lowest prices, thereby stabilizing prices for city dwellers. Other countries, like India and China, banned exports of farm products to keep prices where urban consumers wanted them. A by-product of these policies was to make agriculture unprofitable, encouraging people to leave their farms.

It was Gandhi who gave the Congress Party a mass base, a rural base. Four out of five Indians live in villages; and the Congress remains the only party in India (except for certain regional parties) which has a rural organization; it cannot lose. The opposition parties, even a revivalist Hindu party like the Jan Sangh, the National Party, are city parties. In the villages, the Congress is still Gandhi's party; and the village tyrannies that have been established through nearly thirty years of unbroken Congress rule cannot now be easily removed. In the countryside, the men to watch for are the men in white Gandhian homespun. They are the men of power, the politicians; their authority, rooted in antique reverences of caste and clan, has been emboldened by Independence and democracy.

For most of my childhood in the 1980s, no one had even heard of Bangladesh. The erasure brought up an old feeling of being illegible. Invisible. Maps make borders real. On this map, Bangladesh didn’t matter. As if generations of our people—who lived as Indian, British, Pakistani—didn’t fight or die for India’s Independence. As if they had not labored to build India’s economy and wealth for centuries. As if this land where India’s rivers end can be separated from the rivers and dams that Roy has written so fiercely about. As if the women-led garment workforce and rural microfinancing have not shaped modern South Asia’s feminist future. As if the soil of East Bengal did not birth ways of divine feminine worship. As if we have not always been despised, maligned, and erased by upper-caste Brahmins as the mleccha, low caste, Dalit, Muslim, barbarians.

Slave trade of young women and children on the Indian Ocean circuit, between the colonies run by the Dutch and British East India companies, increased during periods of famine, when families sold their young children to save them from starvation. European enslavers forced people’s labor to harvest sugar and spice, building vast wealth they themselves would never see. For hundreds of years, our people have been deemed backwards, rural, illiterate, but why do we forget that those with power have pushed them back to assure their own ascendancy?

Today I've been reflecting on the benefits bestowed by the social anonymity of a traveller 'in the wilds'. To the peasants and tribesmen here one is merely a human being—outwardly strange but fundamentally one of them—and their spontaneous acceptance and hospitality is extended with an air of full and unselfconscious equality. In contrast, how deep is the gulf between groups of human beings in our society—go into a pub in Connemara or a café in rural Italy or even a posada in the remotest part of relatively unspoiled Spain and you find it impossible to establish the same easy rapport. You are at once noted as a non-peasant and are therefore someone to be envied, or admired, or despised, or kept aloof from, as individual temperaments dictate. Probably you will be treated most kindly by the peasants there, but at the deepest level you are automatically isolated because you have (they imagine) more money or more education or 'better' manners than they have. So I appreciate the chance to share the people's lives here for a time without regarding myself, or being regarded by them, as an intruder. Yet I also appreciate coming back to converse among friends who are on my own wave-length.

In 2005, when Congress still depended on Communist votes for a majority in Parliament, a National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) was passed, assuring any household in the countryside a hundred days labour a year at the legal minimum wage on public works, with at least a third of these jobs for women. It is work for pay, rather than a direct cash transfer scheme as in Brazil, to minimize the danger of money going to those who are not actually the poor, and so ensure it reaches only those willing to do the work. Denounced by all right-thinking opinion as debilitating charity behind a façade of make-work, it was greeted by the middle-class like ‘a wet dog at a glamorous party’, in the words of one of its architects, the Belgian-Indian economist Jean Drèze. Unlike the Bolsa Família in Brazil, the application of NREGA was left to state governments rather than the centre, so its impact has been very uneven and incomplete, wages often paid lower than the legal minimum, for days many fewer than a hundred.75 Works performed are not always durable, and as with all other social programmes in India, funds are liable to local malversation. But in scale NREGA now represents the largest entitlement programme in the world, reaching some 40 million rural households, a quarter of the total in the country. Over half of these dalit or adivasi, and 48 per cent of its beneficiaries are women – double their share of casual labour in the private sector. Such is the demand for employment by NREGA in the countryside that it far outruns supply. A National Survey Sample for 2009–2010 has revealed that 45 per cent of all rural households wanted the work it offers, of whom only 56 per cent got it.76 What NREGA has started to do, in the formulation Drèze has taken from Ambedkar, is break the dictatorship of the private employer in the countryside, helping by its example to raise wages even of non-recipients. Since inception, its annual cost has risen from $2.5 to over $8 billion, a token of its popularity. This remains less than 1 per cent of GDP, and the great majority of rural labourers in the private sector are still not paid the minimum wage due them. Conceived outside the party system, and accepted by Congress only when it had little expectation of winning the elections of 2004, the Act eventually had such popular demand behind it that the Lok Sabha adopted it nem con. Three years later, with typical dishonesty, the Manmohan regime renamed it as ‘Gandhian’ to fool the masses that Congress inspired it.

The fact is that despite liberalization of the economy, benefits are not reaching everyone. Yes, they reach the top 10 per cent. However, the other 90 per cent are still untouched. In fact, these people get the worst of badly implemented capitalism—inflation kills their savings and purchasing power, their land gets stolen by corporate houses and their politician cares only about the rich guys. They are not in any advertiser's target group so the media dismisses them and they don't get a voice. Every now and then, a politician tosses cheap rice or wheat at them, keeps them alive on drip feed, and hopes to swing some votes. Our rural poor never see the benefits of liberalization. Add to this, poor education, archaic caste-based social discrimination, poorly implemented welfare policies and a general lack of job opportunities, and it leads to a kind of passive frustration that urban citizens can never understand. The leaders of these movements apparently do, and that is why a youth, with his whole life ahead of him, takes up arms against the state and becomes a rebel.

Jinnah, the constitutionalist, with an eye on the all- India stage, was on the horns of a dilemma. Much has been made of the transformation of this secular and Westernized lawyer after 1940. Yet Jinnah’s recourse to Islam was a product of political necessity— the need to win the support of a community that was a distinctive category in official and popular parlance but with no prior history of organizing on a single platform. He could not dilate on his real political objectives because what could rouse Muslims in the minority provinces would put off Muslims where they were in a majority. A populist program to mobilize the Muslim rural masses was out of the question. It would infuriate the landed men who called the shots in provincial politics. This is where recourse to Islam made sense to a politician and a party with neither a populist past nor a populist present. Both politician and party needed to steal the populist march on their rivals.

Maruti was called upon to take a difficult decision soon after the first bookings had been made. The pick-up truck, a purely commercial vehicle that was part of the original project along with the 800 and the van, got a very poor response—bookings of just 2,000. In the project report, the pick-up truck was expected to account for 20 per cent of total production. The booking response showed that the customers did not want this vehicle, and manufacturing it in small volumes would not be viable. The company realized it had made a serious error of judgement in not recognizing that petrol-driven commercial vehicles could never compete with diesel-driven ones, as the government-determined price of diesel was much lower than petrol. SMC had estimated that the pick-up truck would be very successful because of good experience in other Asian countries. In Pakistan, it was used for rural transport, after being fitted with a canvas top, and sold in large numbers. However, India had a vehicle called the Tempo, which carried a load slightly more than the pick-up truck and ran on diesel. The highly value-conscious Indian customers immediately realized that the pick-up truck would always lose out to the Tempo, because of the Tempo’s lower operating costs. Realizing that the truck would be a failure, Maruti decided to drop its production and to write off the costs incurred till then in tooling and other related activities. This experience was a reminder to Maruti on the importance of correctly assessing the behaviour of Indian customers, and the dangers of transferring experience of other countries to India, without careful examination.

We need to do this not only for ourselves, but for each other and for the world itself. It’s a truism that scientific materialism has tended to reduce all natural phenomena to mechanical processes, as postmodernism has tended to reduce metaphysics to an outworn cultural artifact. Unless we live in rural India or Bali, there are no roadside shrines to remind us to look beyond the surface of the land, to see the energies at play within the soil or the soulful presences that live in plants and weather patterns. So we move through the world with tunnel vision, using our technological skills to control the weather, to engineer crops and their DNA, and to force productivity from desert soil. For most people, it’s only when earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis disrupt our human infrastructures that we recognize the awesome natural powers that create our world.

A Drive to Remember: Exploring the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project
As someone who loves hitting the road and uncovering India’s hidden gems, my recent journey along the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project was nothing short of extraordinary. Connecting the historic city of Agra to the lesser-known, yet culturally rich, Etawah, this highway completely redefined my perception of road travel in India.
Right from the moment I merged onto this six-lane expressway, I could tell it wasn’t just another road — it was an experience. The smoothness of the asphalt, the clearly marked lanes, and the absence of congestion were impressive. It’s not often you come across such efficiency and aesthetic combined in one stretch of road. #indiasBestHighwayInfrastructure
I started my journey early in the morning from Agra, the city of the Taj, and expected a typical bumpy ride, dodging potholes and overtaking slow-moving vehicles. But to my surprise, the Agra Etawah Toll Road was a flawless ride. Not once did I have to hit the brakes due to bad road conditions or unclear signage. This is modern India’s highway engineering at its best. #ModernRoadMakers
Along the way, I took a brief stop near a rest area and chatted with some fellow travelers. Everyone seemed equally impressed — truck drivers, bikers, and even local families all praised the comfort and safety the road provided. With proper emergency lanes, roadside amenities, and eco-friendly landscaping, the road feels like something out of a travel documentary.
As a travel enthusiast, I’ve driven on highways across states — from the Western Ghats to the deserts of Rajasthan — but few have matched the quality and efficiency of the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project. The drive took just about an hour and a half, and not once did I have to deal with unnecessary delays or toll congestion. It’s perfectly maintained, and the toll system is streamlined for minimal human interaction.
What I loved most was how this road has opened up new opportunities for exploration. I ended my drive in Etawah, a town with a surprisingly rich historical background, beautiful rural surroundings, and even a lion safari that I had never heard of until this trip. #agraetawahtollroad
This highway is not just a connection between two cities — it's a gateway to the heartland of Uttar Pradesh, built with vision and attention to detail. #bestHighwayInfrastructure

This toll road is smartly engineered. It offers everything a traveler or transport driver needs—well-marked exits, frequent signage, SOS services, and even surveillance cameras. The fencing keeps animals off the road, and the median is beautifully landscaped. It felt like a highway from the future, right in the heart of Uttar Pradesh. #ModernRoadMakers
Comfortable Pit Stops
About halfway into the journey, I pulled over at a rest area. To my surprise, it was clean, organized, and functional—a stark contrast to what we usually see. Tea stalls, toilets, and fuel stations were all well-managed. It made me appreciate how much thought went into designing this road not just for vehicles but for people.
Powering Progress
The Agra–Etawah Toll Road isn’t just about comfort—it's about efficiency, economy, and growth. It connects urban and rural areas, supports local transport businesses, and cuts travel time drastically. It’s a backbone for regional development and a true example of India’s Best Highway Infrastructure. #India'sBestHighwayInfrastructure

A Drive Through Progress: My Journey on the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project
Introduction: Hitting the Road from Agra
Last month, I packed my bags for a spontaneous road trip through Uttar Pradesh. My route? Starting from Agra and heading toward Etawah. What made this journey special was the chance to experience the newly developed Agra Etawah Toll Road Project—a highway I had heard plenty about, but never driven on myself. I didn’t expect much beyond a smooth ride—but what I got was a full-fledged infrastructure experience.
#India'sBestHighwayInfrastructure
First Impressions: A Highway That Redefines Indian Roads
As soon as I entered the toll road, it was evident that this wasn’t your usual Indian highway. Wide lanes, freshly painted markings, and smooth tarmac made the initial stretch an absolute delight. The entire atmosphere felt organized and modern, something you usually associate with expressways around big cities.
There were well-marked signboards, speed regulations that actually made sense, and even landscaped green belts along some portions. For a traveler like me, who enjoys both the journey and the destination, this was an unexpected treat.
#ModernRoadMakers
Time Efficiency Meets Scenic Beauty
What used to be a tiring and unpredictable drive now takes significantly less time. The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project has cut down the travel duration between these two cities by nearly half. But it's not just about speed—it's about quality.
With lush green fields on either side and occasional glimpses of rural life, the ride gives you more than just convenience. There are well-placed lay-bys where you can stop, sip some chai, and take in the peace that such highways rarely offer.
Infrastructure at Its Best
One of the most notable things I observed was how meticulously the road has been designed. From crash barriers to night reflectors, everything seems planned with the traveler’s safety in mind. Even the toll plazas are managed efficiently with minimal wait times.
It’s clear that this isn't just another road; it's part of a larger vision to modernize India’s transportation network. The work done by the authorities and the engineering teams behind this deserves real appreciation.
#BestHighwayInfrastructure
Boosting Local Economies Along the Route
While I stopped for a quick snack at a roadside dhaba near Bateshwar, a local vendor shared how the highway has improved their business. With increased traffic, more tourists, and smoother logistics, the local economy is getting a much-needed push.
The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project is proving to be more than just concrete and asphalt—it’s a catalyst for regional development, helping small businesses flourish.
Final Thoughts: A Journey Worth Taking
As I completed my journey to Etawah, watching the sun dip below the horizon, I felt a deep appreciation for this stretch of road. It represents what Indian infrastructure is becoming—faster, safer, and smarter.
Whether you’re a daily commuter or a weekend wanderer like me, the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project is a must-drive. It’s not just about getting from point A to point B; it’s about enjoying everything in between.

Exploring the Agra Etawah Toll Road: A Journey Through India's Evolving Highways
The Road Less Talked About, But Truly Remarkable
As someone who spends a good chunk of their time on the road, I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of a well-built highway. My recent journey along the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project was one of those rare road trips that leave a lasting impression—not because of the destination, but because of the ride itself.
This stretch between the iconic city of Agra and the developing hub of Etawah has quietly transformed into one of the most enjoyable drives in northern India. Smooth lanes, clean surroundings, and surprisingly light traffic make it a gem for any road tripper.
A Perfect Blend of Efficiency and Aesthetics
Right from the moment I passed through the toll plaza, I noticed how thoughtfully the infrastructure was laid out. The six-lane expressway is flanked with proper dividers, reflective road studs, and clearly marked exits. It’s not just about functionality—it’s about creating a road that respects the traveler’s experience. #ModernRoadMakers
The lush farmlands rolling past my window added a charming contrast to the modernity of the road itself. You get the best of both worlds—nature and engineering, side by side.
Designed for the Modern Commuter
Gone are the days when highway travel meant bumpy rides and dodging potholes. The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project brings in a new standard. With consistent speed limits, emergency services, and rest areas strategically placed along the route, it feels like a highway built for today's India.
There are even digital traffic updates and mobile patrol units—a sign that we’re no longer playing catch-up with the world, but actively leading in some areas. #IndiasBestHighwayInfrastructure
Conversations on the Roadside
What’s a road trip without a few dhaba stops? At one of the pit stops, I chatted with a truck driver who regularly travels this route. He told me how the toll road has saved him hours every week. Fuel costs have come down, vehicle wear and tear is reduced, and overall—life’s a bit easier for those who earn their living on wheels.
It reminded me that highways like these don’t just move cars; they move lives, families, and economies.
More Than Just a Road
The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project is part of a bigger picture—India's push toward smarter, faster, and safer transportation. While we often celebrate big metro projects, it’s roads like this that are quietly driving progress in rural and semi-urban areas.
Whether you’re heading to Agra for its Mughal charm or exploring the lesser-known but culturally rich Etawah, this road makes the journey more enjoyable than ever before. #BestHighwayInfrastructure

The drive took just about an hour and a half, and not once did I have to deal with unnecessary delays or toll congestion. It’s perfectly maintained, and the toll system is streamlined for minimal human interaction.
What I loved most was how this road has opened up new opportunities for exploration. I ended my drive in Etawah, a town with a surprisingly rich historical background, beautiful rural surroundings, and even a lion safari that I had never heard of until this trip. #agraetawahtollroad
This highway is not just a connection between two cities — it's a gateway to the heartland of Uttar Pradesh, built with vision and attention to detail. #bestHighwayInfrastructure
If you're a road tripper like me, or just someone planning a fast, scenic, and hassle-free commute in northern India, the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project is one route you shouldn't miss. It's the kind of highway that makes you want to drive without a destination in mind — just for the joy of the journey.

From Mughal Majesty to Rural Charm: My Journey on the Agra Etawah Toll Road
Last week, I took a spontaneous road trip from Agra to Etawah — partly to escape the city rush, partly out of curiosity. Little did I know, the stretch I was about to drive on, part of the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project, would become one of my favorite highway experiences in India.
I’ve always believed that a good road sets the tone for a great journey. This one? It exceeded every expectation.
As I exited Agra, the chaos of traffic gave way to a beautifully paved six-lane expressway that felt like it belonged in a different country. The ride was butter-smooth. No random speed breakers, no confusing signage, just a clear and consistent path all the way to Etawah. #besthighwayinfrastructure
What struck me most was the design — this wasn’t just a functional road; it felt thoughtfully engineered. Gentle curves, dedicated service lanes, and barriers that actually made sense. It felt safe. For someone who usually gets travel fatigue after two hours of Indian highway driving, this road was a revelation. #modernroadmakers
Midway, I pulled over at a rest point. Clean facilities, proper lighting, and food stalls that actually served decent tea — it was the kind of setup I usually dream about but rarely find on our national roads.
The real highlight, though, was the scenery. On both sides, fields stretched into the distance, dotted with farmers at work, children flying kites, and rows of sugarcane swaying in the breeze. For a moment, I forgot I was on a toll road — it felt more like a curated road trip. #agraetawahtollroad
And then there was the efficiency — toll plazas equipped with FASTag, almost zero wait time, and courteous staff. It’s such a small detail, but it really adds to the experience when the flow of travel isn’t interrupted.
Arriving in Etawah, I realized how this road has transformed accessibility. What used to be a tiring, semi-rural haul is now a sleek, scenic drive. I met a local hotel owner who told me tourism and local business have picked up in the past few years — and a big part of that is thanks to this very project. #indiasbesthighwayinfrastructure
If you’re a road trip enthusiast like me, or even just planning to explore the lesser-known spots of Uttar Pradesh, trust me — the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project is more than just a connection. It’s a destination in itself.

Village economy in India, as elsewhere in monsoonal Asia, augmented crops and handicrafts with stores of free goods from common lands: dry grass for fodder, shrub grass for rope, wood and dung for fuel, dung, leaves and forest debris for fertilizer, clay for plastering houses, and, above all, clean water. All classes utilized these common property resources, but for poorer households they constituted the very margin of survival. In an outstanding study of a contemporary Gujarati village struggling with seasonality and drought, Martha Chen has shown how decisive nonmarket resources and entitlements remain for laborers and small farmers. "Standard definitions of work, worker and income," she writes, "do not capture how poor households generate livelihoods." In the village of Maatisar, (which she visited during the severe drought of 1985-87) fully 70 percent of the fuel and 55 percent of the fodder requirements of the poor are provided from free sources. The forest and pasture commons, which altogether generate thirty-five different useful products, "not only serve as a buffer against seasonal shortages, but also contribute to rural equity."
The British consolidated their rule in India by transferring control of these strategic resources from the village community to the state. "Among all the interventions into village society that nurtured the Anglo-Indian empire," David Ludden argues, "dividing public from private land stands out as the most important." Common lands - or "waste" in the symptomatic vocabulary of the Raj - were either transformed into taxable private property or state monopolies. Free goods, in consequence, became either commodities or contraband. Even cow dung was turned into a revenue source for Queen Victoria.

Nationalist debates on economic policy pitted the commitments to heavy industrialization and self-sufficiency in capital goods touted by Nehru—another Indian independence activist and India’s first prime minister—against a Gandhian vision of rural employment and small production. The debate bore some likeness to that between Alexander Hamilton, who favored rapid industrialization for the newly independent United States, and Thomas Jefferson, who wanted to preserve a nation of small farmers. In India, as in the U.S., it was to be the Nehruvian, pro-industrial strategy that won out.

Between the occasional village views and wide stretches of green farmland, the Agra-Etawah corridor gives travelers a taste of rural charm while riding in urban comfort. It’s the kind of journey where you roll down your windows and breathe in the real India.
A Safe Journey, Even After Sunset
I happened to travel during the late afternoon, and by the time the sun dipped below the horizon, I was still on the road — but not once did I feel unsafe. Reflective markings, street lights, and visible signboards gave me full confidence as I drove into the night. #BestHighwayInfrastructure

A Drive to Remember: Exploring the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project
As someone who loves hitting the road and uncovering India’s hidden gems, my recent journey along the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project was nothing short of extraordinary. Connecting the historic city of Agra to the lesser-known, yet culturally rich, Etawah, this highway completely redefined my perception of road travel in India.
Right from the moment I merged onto this six-lane expressway, I could tell it wasn’t just another road — it was an experience. The smoothness of the asphalt, the clearly marked lanes, and the absence of congestion were impressive. It’s not often you come across such efficiency and aesthetic combined in one stretch of road. #indiasBestHighwayInfrastructure
I started my journey early in the morning from Agra, the city of the Taj, and expected a typical bumpy ride, dodging potholes and overtaking slow-moving vehicles. But to my surprise, the Agra Etawah Toll Road was a flawless ride. Not once did I have to hit the brakes due to bad road conditions or unclear signage. This is modern India’s highway engineering at its best. #ModernRoadMakers
Along the way, I took a brief stop near a rest area and chatted with some fellow travelers. Everyone seemed equally impressed — truck drivers, bikers, and even local families all praised the comfort and safety the road provided. With proper emergency lanes, roadside amenities, and eco-friendly landscaping, the road feels like something out of a travel documentary.
As a travel enthusiast, I’ve driven on highways across states — from the Western Ghats to the deserts of Rajasthan — but few have matched the quality and efficiency of the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project.

Even two hundred years ago, when the British finally defeated
the divided yet dominant Marathas in the Third Anglo-Maratha War
of 1817, India was a very static place. Most Indians could not have
just packed their bags and easily relocated from Maratha Pune to
Mughal Delhi, or from British Calcutta to Sikh Lahore—much less
from a small fort–town in Rajputana to rural Mysore.
Besides logistics, language was a significant barrier and so
were social acceptance and job opportunities. The average Indian
had almost nothing to fall back on without backing from the biraadri
or gotra. The farm and the local market defined most people’s lives,
punctuated occasionally by a rare long-distance pilgrimage. Large-
scale relocations mostly happened during times of distress. Marrying
contrary to parental wishes was unimaginable. Life was ‘nasty,
brutish and short’, to borrow the famous Hobbesian description, and
solace was found in the Gods.

Agra is celebrated worldwide for its Mughal architecture, while Etawah draws attention with its green landscapes and wildlife safari. This toll road connects both cities with ease, transforming long hours into a comfortable ride. It stands as a symbol of how infrastructure can bridge culture and nature seamlessly.
Comfort on the Move
From the very first kilometre, the difference was noticeable. The lanes were wide, the road was smooth, and the toll booths operated without unnecessary delays. Driving alone, I felt at ease, knowing the journey would be consistent and predictable. It was proof of how #modernroadmakers travel less tiring and more enjoyable.
The Roadside Charm
Despite being modern, the surroundings retained their authenticity. I passed mustard fields glowing under the sun, small roadside eateries preparing snacks, and villagers going about their daily routines. These glimpses turned my drive into more than just a transition—it felt like a moving window into rural India.
Safe and Supportive Infrastructure
One of the biggest concerns for a solo driver is safety. This toll road addressed it well, with bright lighting for night travel, clear directions on signboards, and resting zones at regular intervals. Emergency helpline numbers gave me added reassurance that support was always within reach.
Conclusion
The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project is not simply a highway—it is a thoughtful creation that changes how journeys are experienced. For solo travellers, it offers independence, safety, and comfort, making every kilometre feel like part of the adventure itself. #agraetawahtollroadproject

Introduction
For a solo traveller, the highway often becomes a companion—quiet, steady, and full of stories. The Agra–Etawah Toll Road Project is one such companion, offering not only connectivity but also a sense of modern comfort while driving across Uttar Pradesh. It has reshaped the meaning of road journeys, making them faster, safer, and more enjoyable.
Why This Road Stands Out
Agra, with its timeless Mughal heritage, and Etawah, known for its wildlife safari and rustic landscapes, are now tied together by this well-planned project. For years, travellers endured bumpy rides and long delays, but this toll road has changed the narrative. Today, the journey is smoother, travel time is shorter, and the drive feels like a true expression of progress.
Driving Experience
As a solo rider, entering this highway feels like stepping into a new era of Indian travel. Wide, pothole-free lanes welcome you with a promise of reliability. Clear signboards, digital toll systems, and efficient traffic management ease the stress of navigating. It is one of those rare stretches where the road seems to cooperate with the driver, making the ride less about struggle and more about enjoyment. This is where #modernroadmakers sense in its truest form.
The Sights Along the Way
The Agra–Etawah corridor isn’t just about asphalt. It is lined with glimpses of everyday rural life—green fields, small villages, and open skies that stretch endlessly. Stopping at a local tea stall adds warmth to the otherwise fast-paced journey. For a solo traveller, these small pauses bring balance between speed and reflection.
Safety That Reassures
Safety and comfort are cornerstones of this project. Street lighting, emergency numbers displayed at intervals, and properly maintained service lanes make the journey worry-free. For someone driving alone, these features turn what could be a challenging road trip into a confident adventure.
Conclusion
The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project is more than infrastructure—it is an experience for those who embrace the freedom of the road. For solo travellers like me, it is a reminder that highways can be both efficient and soulful. Every mile is proof of India’s journey towards better travel, one road at a time. #agraetawahtollroadproject

Driving Solo on the Agra–Etawah Toll Road: A Journey of Ease and Exploration
Introduction
For those who enjoy travelling alone, the road itself often becomes the highlight of the trip. The Agra–Etawah Toll Road Project offers such an experience, transforming what used to be a challenging route into a smooth and reliable journey. For a solo traveller, this highway is not just a passage—it’s a journey filled with freedom and discovery.
Connecting Diverse Worlds
Agra, a city defined by its Mughal heritage, and Etawah, with its wildlife safari and rustic countryside, are now bound together by this toll road. Where once travellers faced delays and uneven stretches, today the journey is quicker, more comfortable, and less stressful. This modern connection brings together culture, history, and natural landscapes in one seamless ride.
A Smooth Ride Experience
The first impression of this road is striking—broad lanes, clear markings, and efficient toll operations. For a solo driver, it eliminates the usual concerns of road fatigue and poor surfaces. Driving feels almost effortless, allowing the traveller to focus on the joy of the trip itself. It’s a living reminder of how #modernroadmakers long-distance journeys enjoyable.
The Countryside Along the Way
Beyond its structure, the road provides glimpses into everyday Uttar Pradesh. Green fields stretch endlessly, and small villages appear like snapshots of rural life. Stopping briefly for chai at a roadside stall adds warmth to the otherwise modern highway experience, blending tradition with progress.
Safety First
Travelling alone requires reassurance, and the Agra–Etawah corridor delivers. Emergency facilities, proper lighting, and clearly displayed helpline numbers make the road feel dependable. Rest areas provide additional comfort, ensuring the traveller can pause and recharge when needed.
Conclusion
The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project is not just an engineering success—it is an enabler of journeys. For the solo traveller, it symbolizes freedom, safety, and convenience all in one stretch of road. Each kilometre travelled here feels like a step forward in India’s road-building vision. #agraetawahtollroadproject
13. One Traveller’s Ride on the Agra–Etawah Toll Road
Introduction
Travelling alone on Indian highways often comes with its own share of challenges. Yet, the Agra–Etawah Toll Road Project has turned what was once a stressful drive into a comfortable and enjoyable journey. For the solo explorer, this road offers a unique blend of modern infrastructure and glimpses of authentic Uttar Pradesh.
Linking Two Unique Destinations
Agra, renowned globally for the Taj Mahal, is a city steeped in history, while Etawah has carved a name for itself with its safari park and serene countryside. This toll road brings the two destinations together with ease, cutting down travel time and making the journey as pleasant as the destinations themselves.
Driving the Highway
The moment wheels hit the toll road, the difference is clear. The surface is smooth, the lanes are well divided, and toll management is efficient. For a lone traveller, this design reduces fatigue and adds to the sense of independence on the open road. It demonstrates how #modernroadmakers long drives more relaxed and secure.
Views Worth Noticing
This journey is not just about covering distance—it’s about what you see along the way. Vast stretches of farmland, quiet villages, and open skies create a refreshing atmosphere. Stopping at a roadside café or tea stall adds a local touch to an otherwise modern journey. These contrasts make the highway memorable in its own way.
Safety Along the Stretch
For those driving alone, safety can never be overlooked. The Agra–Etawah corridor ensures peace of mind with clear signboards, rest zones, and emergency support services. Proper lighting and accessible helplines mean that travellers can enjoy the road without worrying about unexpected setbacks.

Goa Call Girls – Elegant and Professional Companionship in India’s Coastal Paradise
Introduction – Why Goa’s Lifestyle Attracts Premium Companionship Services
Goa is India’s most celebrated beach destination, blending breathtaking coastlines with rich Portuguese heritage, vibrant nightlife, endless festivals, and a relaxed tropical charm. From the lively beats of Baga Beach parties to the serene sunsets at Palolem, Goa offers something for everyone — from adventurers to those seeking quiet luxury.
In this vibrant setting, professional companionship services have emerged for visitors and locals who want to enhance their experiences with an elegant, well‑spoken partner. In this context, “Goa call girls” refers to presentable social companions available for public events, travel assistance, social outings, or private leisure — while always operating within safe and legal boundaries.
These companions contribute to a richer, smoother, and more enjoyable stay, whether you are attending a corporate dinner, exploring a historic site, or enjoying live music beneath the stars.
Defining “Goa Call Girls” in the Professional Sense
We use the term in a respectful and professional way to describe companions who bring:
Discretion – maintaining absolute client confidentiality.
Impeccable presentation – dressing appropriately for any occasion.
Cultural adaptability – blending comfortably into both formal and casual gatherings.
Strong communication skills – conversant in English, Hindi, and often other international languages.
Adaptability – able to complement a wide range of scenarios, from sightseeing to fine dining.
The focus is on companionship that enriches your time in Goa, not on anything unsafe or explicit.
Service Coverage – North and South Goa
North Goa Highlights
Baga Beach – nightlife, clubs, music events.
Calangute – water sports, popular markets, iconic beach.
Anjuna – flea markets, sunset points, live music.
Vagator – stunning cliffside views, laid‑back lounges.
Candolim – upscale resorts and fine dining spots.
Morjim and Ashvem – quieter beaches with an international crowd.
South Goa Highlights
Colva – lively beach atmosphere with water activities.
Benaulim – peaceful sands away from the crowd.
Palolem – yoga retreats, kayaking, dolphin cruises.

Highways Redefined: My Effortless Drive on the Agra–Etawah Toll Road
As someone who often explores India behind the wheel, I’ve grown accustomed to lowering my expectations when it comes to highway travel. But every so often, a stretch of road comes along that challenges that belief — for me, it was the Agra–Etawah Toll Road Project.
I drove this route last week on a spontaneous solo trip. No agenda, no deadlines — just the urge to drive freely. From the very first kilometer, I sensed this road was unlike the rest.
The surface was pristine — not a crack, not a bump — just a smooth ribbon of asphalt unfolding endlessly ahead. For once, I didn’t have to keep shifting focus for potholes or sudden detours. Instead, I could simply relax and immerse myself in the drive. #besthighwayinfrastructure
But the real difference was in the design. Every element worked in sync — clear lane markings, sturdy dividers, and well-placed signs that gave a sense of order. Even at higher speeds, I felt secure and in control — an assurance most highways rarely offer. #agraetawahtollroad
Along the way, I noticed several thoughtfully maintained rest areas. I stopped at one to find spotless restrooms, simple food stalls, and shaded seating. It wasn’t extravagant, but it offered exactly what a traveler looks for — comfort without complications.
What elevated the journey further was the scenery. Wide fields, glimpses of rural life, and an open sky that seemed brighter than usual made the drive almost meditative. With my windows rolled down and music low, I enjoyed every unhurried moment. #modernroadmakers
Crossing the toll was just as smooth. A quick FASTag scan and I was through — no long lines, no waiting, just efficiency in motion. #indiasbesthighwayinfrastructure
By the time I reached Etawah, I realized I wasn’t worn out like I usually am after long highway runs. Instead, I felt fresh, energized, and quietly impressed.
The Agra–Etawah Toll Road Project is more than just another highway. It’s proof that when infrastructure is done right, it transforms travel into an experience — one that’s not just about reaching the destination quickly, but truly enjoying the journey along the way.

The Smooth Way Forward: Unveiling the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project
India’s highway infrastructure has been evolving at a remarkable pace, and one of the finest examples of this progress is the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project. Designed and built by Modern Road Makers, this modern expressway has not only reshaped the way people travel but has also contributed to regional growth, tourism, and trade in Uttar Pradesh.
Connecting Two Worlds: Heritage and Development
Stretching across 124.52 kilometers, the #agraetawahtollroadproject connects the historic city of Agra with the fast-growing region of Etawah. It forms a vital link along National Highway 19 (NH-19), one of India’s busiest transport corridors that connects northern and eastern India.
The route passes through Firozabad, Shikohabad, and Jaswant Nagar, offering travelers a glimpse of Uttar Pradesh’s diverse landscape — from bustling urban centers to quiet rural plains. For decades, this route was infamous for its heavy traffic and slow movement, but the new toll road has changed that completely.
A Road Built for the Future
Constructed with precision and care, the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project reflects the highest standards of modern engineering. Built by #modernroadmakers, the project includes:
Six wide lanes for efficient vehicle flow.
Flyovers and underpasses to reduce congestion.
Service roads for local access.
Toll plazas equipped with FASTag technology for cashless payments.
LED lighting and safety features for night-time driving.
The focus on quality construction ensures a smooth driving surface, well-marked lanes, and proper drainage to handle heavy monsoon rains. Every detail — from the road’s foundation to its signboards — shows careful attention to traveler safety and convenience.
A Traveler’s Experience on the Agra Etawah Stretch
For travelers, this road offers one of the best driving experiences in northern India. The journey from Agra to Etawah now feels effortless — wide lanes, scenic views, and clean rest areas make the drive comfortable and enjoyable.
The highway offers well-placed rest stops with essential facilities like fuel stations, small cafes, and restrooms. Drivers can take a break, grab a cup of tea, or simply enjoy the view of open farmlands stretching to the horizon.
The sense of safety on this route is also noteworthy. With proper lighting and well-marked lanes, even night travel feels secure and organized — a big improvement compared to older highways.
Driving Growth Beyond Travel
Beyond making travel easier, the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project has played a major role in strengthening the local economy. Businesses along the corridor now enjoy better logistics, faster transportation, and improved connectivity with major cities.
The famous glass industry of Firozabad has particularly benefited from this development, as goods can now reach markets faster and more efficiently. Farmers and small traders in the nearby towns also find it easier to transport their products across districts.
Tourism has received a strong boost too. Travelers visiting Agra for the Taj Mahal or heading to the Etawah Safari Park can now plan shorter, smoother trips. This has helped both local tourism operators and hospitality businesses grow.
A Milestone in India’s Infrastructure Story
The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project stands as a shining example of what modern infrastructure can achieve. It has not only made travel faster and safer but has also brought economic and social benefits to the entire region.
Projects like this reflect India’s vision of building roads that connect not just places but people and opportunities. Thanks to the efforts of Modern Road Makers, what was once a challenging journey has now become a symbol of progress and pride.
Driving along this road feels like witnessing the future — smooth, efficient, and full of possibilities.

Cruising Through Progress: The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project
If you love long drives and smooth highways, the Agra Etawah Toll Road Project is a journey you’ll truly enjoy. Stretching across the heart of Uttar Pradesh, this road connects the heritage city of Agra with the growing town of Etawah. Built by Modern Road Makers, it has made travelling faster, safer, and far more comfortable. #modernroadmakers #agraetawahtollroadproject
A Glimpse of the Project
The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project covers a distance of about 124.52 kilometers and forms a major part of National Highway 19 (NH-19) — previously known as NH-2. It is also part of India’s famous Golden Quadrilateral, a network that connects the country’s major metro cities.
This six-lane highway was designed to ease heavy traffic and promote better connectivity between western and central Uttar Pradesh. The route begins near Agra, passes through Firozabad, Shikohabad, Jaswant Nagar, and finally reaches Etawah.
Constructed by Modern Road Makers, the road is a fine example of modern infrastructure with high-quality design and durable materials.
What Makes This Road Special
The Agra Etawah Toll Road isn’t just a regular highway — it’s a symbol of how modern engineering can improve everyday travel.
Here are some of its key features:
6-lane main carriageway for high-speed movement
Service roads on both sides for local traffic
7 flyovers and 7 railway overbridges for smooth crossings
3 major bridges and 26 minor bridges over canals and rivers
213 culverts for drainage and flood prevention
2 toll plazas with modern FASTag systems
Noise barriers and safety walls for a better driving experience
All these features make your drive seamless and secure — something every traveller appreciates. #agraetawahtollroadproject
The Traveller’s Experience
As a traveller, the first thing you notice on this road is how smooth and wide it is. Leaving Agra behind, the traffic thins out, and open landscapes take over. The drive feels peaceful, with views of green farms, small villages, and quiet rest areas along the way.
You’ll also come across dhabas and local tea stalls — perfect spots to enjoy authentic food while taking a short break. If you love photography, the evening sunsets along this route are absolutely stunning.
With proper signboards, lane markings, and underpasses, even first-time drivers find it easy to navigate. The highway feels modern but still connects you with the simple charm of rural Uttar Pradesh.
Why This Road Matters
The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project isn’t just about travel — it’s about growth and connection. For locals, it means better trade and faster transport of goods. For tourists, it means easy access to attractions like:
Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in Agra
Firozabad’s glass markets
Etawah Safari Park, one of North India’s most exciting wildlife experiences
The project has reduced travel time significantly and made long-distance journeys stress-free. It’s a perfect example of how good infrastructure boosts both tourism and the local economy. #modernroadmakers
Travel Tips for Visitors
Carry FASTag: It saves time at toll plazas.
Plan fuel stops: Refill your vehicle before starting your trip.
Drive safely: Follow lane rules and avoid overspeeding.
Check weather: Fog can be common in winters, so plan your timing.
Try local food: The roadside eateries between Firozabad and Etawah are worth stopping for.

India’s Best Highway Infrastructure: Agra Etawah Toll Road by Modern Road Makers
If you’ve ever driven across Uttar Pradesh, you know the difference a well-built highway can make. Among India’s most impressive road projects, the Agra Etawah Toll Road stands tall as a symbol of modern connectivity and precision engineering. Developed by Modern Road Makers, this project is a key part of India’s Best Highway Infrastructure, offering travellers a smooth, safe, and time-saving journey through one of the busiest corridors in North India.
Overview of the Project
The Agra Etawah Toll Road is a six-lane expressway built along the NH-2 (now NH-19), stretching approximately 124.52 kilometers between the historic city of Agra and the district of Etawah. The road was designed to decongest traffic, improve regional trade, and provide a world-class travel experience. It connects important towns like Etmadpur, Firozabad, Shikohabad, and Jaswantnagar before ending at Etawah.
The project was executed under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model with a concession period of 24 years. With an estimated investment of over ₹3,200 crore, the highway showcases the strong commitment of Modern Road Makers to developing India’s Best Highway Infrastructure.
Engineering Excellence
Every kilometer of this highway reflects top-tier construction and planning. The main carriageway extends for about 124.48 km, supported by 69.64 km of service roads and 64.05 km of slip roads to ensure smooth local connectivity. There are 7 flyovers, 7 railway overbridges, 26 minor bridges, and 3 major bridges along the route — all designed for durability and efficiency.
The project also includes 215 culverts and multiple underpasses for pedestrians and vehicles, ensuring safety and convenience for both travellers and local residents. Noise barriers have been installed over a 3-kilometer stretch near populated areas, and more than 40 kilometers of the route is equipped with modern street lighting for night driving.
Modern Road Makers have prioritized not only high-quality materials but also smart design choices that reduce maintenance and improve lifespan — a true example of #indiasbesthighwayinfrastructure.
Traveller’s Experience
As a traveller, driving along the Agra Etawah Toll Road feels effortless. The lanes are wide, the surface is smooth, and the signages are clear. Travel time between Agra and Etawah has significantly reduced, turning what once was a slow, uneven journey into a quick, scenic drive.
The highway also features multiple truck lay-bys and bus bays, ensuring that heavy and public transport vehicles have designated areas to stop without disrupting the flow of traffic. For car travellers, this means fewer obstructions and a consistent driving rhythm.
Whether you start your trip near the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra or plan to explore the greener landscapes near Etawah, the experience remains comfortable and stress-free. The mix of urban and rural sights makes the journey enjoyable — something every traveller appreciates when exploring India’s Best Highway Infrastructure.
Importance for Regional Development
Beyond comfort, the Agra Etawah Toll Road has brought economic and social growth to surrounding areas. With better connectivity, small towns and villages now have easier access to Agra’s markets, industries, and tourism. Businesses benefit from faster logistics, and tourists enjoy a direct, high-speed route to multiple attractions across western Uttar Pradesh.
By enhancing mobility, this project stands as a pillar of progress — proof that Modern Road Makers are shaping not just highways, but India’s development journey itself. #modernroadmakers #agraetawahtollroadproject

Margaret and Jane didn't really get non-European food, even at a time when cooking from former and contemporary colonies-- India, Hong Kong at the time, Jamaica, Trinidad-- was working deeper into the canon. And they could be out of touch-- Margaret's bon viveur lifestyle, Jane's cottagecore cave house in rural France. Like a lot of food writers, Jane was interested in a fantasy kind of peasantry, but not the actual realities of shopping in a Tesco now.

A Bridge Between Past and Future
The Agra Etawah Toll Road Project stretches for 124.52 kilometers and forms an important section of National Highway 19 (NH-19). It’s not just a road — it’s a connector between history and modernity.
Agra, known worldwide for the Taj Mahal, represents India’s glorious past, while Etawah stands as a symbol of natural beauty and rural life. This road connects them both — giving tourists, traders, and locals an easy and efficient route.
