Abstract: As power is an essential commodity, with more demand investment bankers serving the rich, investors, politicians try to make their best out of it. The perspectives of investors, politicians are different but that could be served together in the process of making money and fame. Consultancies, Insurances get fed in the process. Two major issues that are overlooked 1) Process of Production 2) Responsibility towards future generations.

Power is what drives every moment and movement of this world. So this has become an essential commodity besides the famous three Food (Roti), Clothing (kapada) and House (Makaan). As the saying in business goes "If you are afraid of commencing a business start with essentials which need small investments". So what should a well established businessman aim at if he/she doesn't want to take much risk but can make huge investments?? The answer is simple, invest in Power Sector.

Power is what drives every moment and movement of this world. So this has become an essential commodity besides the famous three Food (Roti), Clothing (kapada) and House (Makaan). As the saying in business goes "If you are afraid of commencing a business start with essentials which need small investments". So what should a well established businessman aim at if he/she doesn't want to take much risk but can make huge investments?? The answer is simple, invest in Power Sector.
Any production requires a source to produce and a resource/s to consume. The most consumed natural resource to produce power is so called Coal. So provided the abundance of coal any potential investor can establish the source 'a Power Plant'. What else could be a better and possible way for the government or politician/s in order to make the most out of this sector than capturing coal mines.
Investors and politicians have their own perspectives. Former strive to manifold his/her money while the latter strive to build his/her empire (mostly dark) apart from making huge money. The common perspective in both of them is "They (most of them) don't bother the means of achieving their objectives". Investor is defined as "a powerful vampire that sucks anything that smells like money". Money is the common form of all resources, valued based on its demand, characteristics, beauty and availability. That means without resources money is merely a paper or a metal. So the strive exists for this common form "money".
The fact and responsibility that has been overlooked is what happens if we become excessively extravagant in spending that would make our future generations resource-less? We cut trees, burn coal, produce power with an efficiency of less than 40%, build homes and use air conditioners to comfort ourselves from heat whereas we can sit under the same tree and relax, which is harmless and healthier.

Politicians work very hard for country's development (economic) but the only problem is the fruits of development is completely savoured by them. They use the most powerful anesthesia called "patriotism" to capture and motivate people to feed them (for country). I happened to attend a politician's speech in Hindi that went like this "Hum Kuch Bhi Kar Rahe He Dhesh Keliye Hi Kar Rahe He... Ooo Driver Gadi Dhesh Ko Aage Badaane Keliyee Chala Raha He... Yee Security Vaale Dhesh Ki Raksha Keliyehi Kaam Kar Raha He" (whatever we are doing we are doing it for our country. Truck drivers drive to take India ahead. Security people work to protect our country).
A good speech had a loud round of applause but I got a few questions. If so as he said "Why is the driver getting 3.5k per month and security guards much less than that, while he is getting more than a few crores per month? He roams in a chopper while drivers and security people don't even have a bicycle? I am quite sure everybody knows the answer including him.. The answer is most probably what I said "Hum Dheskeliyee Kar Rahe He Lekin Ush Kaam Ka Phal Me Khud Lelunga" (Yes we are doing everything for the country but most of the outcomes will be taken by me).
So investors collaborate with politicians for coal to generate more and more money while in the process politicians also gain considerably. He builds a plant on his name and claims it makes the people's life brighter. But more than 90% of the power is spent on making money and 90% of villages having huge amounts of coal reserves suffer power cuts. If a forest is full of cows and goats, it is wolves and vampires job to ravage them. So as long as people awareness and moral standards are meager, plundering of people's resources is bound to happen. Our team, Engineers, Leaders all serve as a feeding system to these wolves and vampires. Investment banking, Consultancies, Insurances act as small scale intermediate consumers of this feeding system. But only thing that bothers me is I also became a part of this feeding system. Hope I can show this world a better class of businessman in the future.

Good work. You've shown the total picture clearly. I appreciate your efforts to try and bring awareness among people about the present power scenario.
I wish to add a few more lines.
Talking about our present politicians and investors we can categorize them as people who are too much greedy and ones who are greedy respectively. They neither bother about poor people's happiness or welfare nor about reducing pollution and rebuilding a green world. We cant either change them or expect a positive change from them.
We the so called power engineers also can be categorized into two sections, people who are aware of these facts and the ones who are not. Lets Talk About the people who belong to the first group. Considering the availability of number of engineers and their percentage increase every upcoming year and comparing it with the present demand in indian market the existing gap is only expected to increase substantially. In this scenario, unless a person is really bothered about welfare of the living poor or safe living conditions for the coming generations, he never gives a thought about whether to work in a power plant or not. And of this the ones who're really motivated enough will succeed in finding a new alternative career and the remaining will have to forget about this entire thing and satisfy with the existing job. I here by request all the power engineers to think about it.
@both thanx for ur inputs..
