Etah-The eternal Misery

First of all I would like to apologize from the people of Etah who love it blindly and get hurted on the comments over it. I affirm my intention is never to afflict any citizen of India. I would like to high light the problems and difficulties of the people of my Etah. I love the district of Etah. I was born in a small village ‘Chandanpur’ of district Etah where there was no road or electricity. I have not seen but heard about that the electrification has been done and the power supply still a problem. In the name of education since a long ago there is a small primary school in the population of around 1200. I don’t say that the people are not educated, there are. But the person who got a job outside never came back to this village. The people of this village are settled down in Etah, Farrukhabad, Agra, Kanpur Delhi etc and outside the country in Canada also. The people who left over here are 80% uneducated. Certainly I am the part of them who could not make the village beautiful. Now I would like to come to Etah. Etah is the district HQ in the state of Uttar Pradesh, situated at the National High Way (NH-91) in between Delhi and Kanpur. I have been monitoring this city for the last 25 years. I have seen the change here only the people from rural areas have come and settled down, nothing else. The roads and streets are in the worst condition. The main road which passes through the city is GT Road but after seeing it nobody can say it is a National Highway. Most of the time, it is difficult to pass a bus because of extortion. Drainages are always choked so whenever there is rain, roads and streets are flooded. Even if there is no rain some of streets are always flooded. In the name of cleanliness, people are throwing garbage on the roads, streets and also in the gutters. It is not enough, some people are doing latrine on the side of roads. It is shame to the educated people who are spitting all around and making their own as well as public places colorful. Electricity, the beauty of any city, is the basic need of the people to survive. But in the city of Etah, there is hardly 12hrs power supply out of 24hrs. And out of 12hrs there are so many breaks due to faults. At night time it is difficult to reach safely to its own house passing through the dark streets somewhere filled with mud. In the name of education, there are so many schools and colleges. There are around 8 degree colleges, 20 inter colleges and many more middle schools. In almost every street there are the private kids’ schools. They are not made to educate the kids but their main motto is only business. The students studying in such schools can’t name the subjects they study. In the field of IT and IT education, I don’t say that it is nil but certainly we the people of Etah are lagging behind. For the computer education there is an NIIT and many private computer education centers but most of them don’t have competent instructors. At the same time problems of power supply. There are some net cafes running in the city, but charges are double/ triple of the normal. Poor people are cheated by the clever ones.

The transport facilities in the city, rail and road both are available. The passenger train, from and to Tundla runs twice in a day which takes a long time to reach. The people, who have value for time, prefer to go by bus and others who don’t want to pay can travel without ticket in the train. There is a roadways bus stand which can be identified by vehicles parked in front and on the road creating jam. Inside the stand there may not be any bus but certainly jam at entry and exit. Still the bus facility can be said satisfactory. 24Hrs bus service for Delhi and Kanpur. And other cities connected by the service are Agra, Kasganj, Bareli Farrukhabad, Ganjdundwara Mainpuri, Etawah, Shikohabad etc. But the U.P roadways service requires much more improvement to serve better, especially drivers conductors and the maintenance of vehicle. Roads are the major factor which requires lots of improvement.
