Maha Kumbh Mela Was Organized Better Than 2014 FIFA World Cup, Says Havard University
After this news, all those who have doubts in their mind about India’s management skills will get shocked and surprised.
A team of academicians and students from
Harvard University along with Architects and Town Planners of high
global standing have declared that in terms of organizing Maha Kumbh of
2013 was better than FIFA World Cup, Brazil and Commonwealth Games, New
Delhi.
A 449 page book, named “Kumbh Mela –
Mapping the Ephemeral Megacity” talks in detail about the World’s
Biggest Religious Gathering and its management of a different style. The
book says, “For a country notorious for its ‘lethargic’ bureaucracy,
the success of Maha Kumbh is truly noteworthy.”
The two events which are compared with
Maha Kumbh were in news for improper administration and arrangements,
despite the fact that the funds allotted were more than enough and they
had complete government support. The Commonwealth games in New Delhi
were in news for the scams and corruption while the FIFA World Cup in
Brazil was a national protest.
Some mind-blowing facts about Maha Kumbh:- The population of Manhattan will be very less if compared to the tent township.
- Over 100 million stay in such a small place for 55 days.
- Almost 5 million people took bath in the sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati.
- 390 million communication events (calls, messages, etc)
- 146 million (145,736,764) text messages
- 245 million (245,252,102) calls
The book was launched by the Chief
Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav on Monday, the researchers of
South Asia Institute of the Harvard University, US have compiled the
book.
The book reads, “So is India, which has
high ambition to provide everyone everything from farmers to migrants to
factory worker. Its ambitions are very high but capability very low,
and then it generates disappointment. But the Maha Kumbh management and
success belies this notion.”
