GD/Case study Topic : Should interlinking of rivers be undertaken. what are its benefits and harm if any.
GD/Case study Experience : great group. every1 got a chance to speak. very little interruptions. hifi points about PPP and feasibility analysis were made (went over my head, hence hifi). consensus hi thi group mein, dat yes interlinking of rivers should be done as there are more benefits than harm.
i enterd quite a few times. gave generic points like its gonna help in irrigation, transportation (ppl, freight). said canals should be built. ppl spoke about diversity in people of india, diffrent flow characteristics of rivers in different regions, hence there should be a proper analysis of wether the interlinking of rivers is required. floods were talked about. 1 chap mentioned the cauvery river case but it went unnoticed!
overall a cool gd. i did significantly well. the report at the end was also carefully and neatly done :)
