It is time to switch. About 70 per cent of all electricity produced is coal-based and less than 5 per cent comes from renewable sources.With India's abundant sunlight and wind power, new private sector projects in these areas should be given incentives. Villagers should be given grants to set up solar pumps and windmill farms to cut down the load on the conventional power grid and step out of the Edison era. State electricity boards will also have to reduce pilferage and transmission losses that stand at a staggering 45 per cent.

Over 60 per cent of Indian homes do not have tap water.

THE PROBLEM

It is called blue gold and in the very near future, wars will be fought over it. By 2020 the world is expected to fall 17 per cent short of water. In India, as of now, only one in three households has piped water. The future looks drier.

THE WAY OUT

There is enough for everyone's need, but not greed. In Karnataka, for instance, most towns get 67 litres of water per head, though citizens in Bangalore use an average of 135 litres a day. If water is priced higher it will be used sparingly. Encourage cities to invest in water recycling plants. At the micro level, promote innovative solutions like that of Bangalore-based architect couple Chitra and Viswanath who incorporated rooftop rainwater harvesting in their home in 1995. The process now yields 80,000 litres of water every year3 Family matters

Population control is an emergency.

THE PROBLEM

Even if every couple decided to stop at two children, our population would overtake China's in 10 years. It has 7 per cent of the world's land, India has 2.4 per cent.

THE WAY OUT

Enforce family planning. Give incentives in government and the corporate sector to those with small families. Fine those with more than two children. Promote contraceptive use. Discourage early marriage.

Heritage is not about inanimate buildings. It is about a way of life.

THE PROBLEM

India has 45,000 historically significant buildings and sites that do not figure on any list. Only 5,000 are protected by the ASI, another 3,000 by state governments. In England, 5,00,000 such buildings are listed.

THE WAY OUT

The National Culture Fund which encourages corporates to adopt monuments should be popularised. The price of entry tickets should be raised to pay for maintenance. Citizens should be made aware of their heritage.

30 million is the number of domestic tourists who travel across India despite the hurdles5 Destination India

Last paradise or lost paradise?

THE PROBLEMSo much to see and so few to see it. Five million Indians travel abroad every year. Only 2.3 million foreigners return the favour, a million less than in diminutive Sri Lanka.

THE WAY OUT

Make India a magical, mystery tour. Have more budget hotels, better airports and an effective rail network. Promote niche, especially cultural, tourism. Public-private participation should make dining at monuments and cycling at historical sites a reality.6 Metro magic

Build 57 model cities across the nation.

THE PROBLEM

Urban India is a landscape of putrefied planning. Two-thirds of Mumbai are slums, Delhi is crisscrossed with jhuggis, Chennai has little water and almost no power.

THE WAY OUT

Create 57 new cities to serve as examples of urbanisation-these should provide benchmarks in civic amenities and eco-friendliness. It can be kicked off in Madhya Pradesh.7 States of expansion

Raise the number to 57.

THE PROBLEM

The United States of America, with a population of 300 million, has 50 states. But India's population of one billion is squeezed administratively into 30 states and five Union Territories.

THE WAY OUT

A second States Reorganisation Commission. Divide Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh,West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka into smaller, more manageable units. If the progress of Uttaranchal is anything to go by, it should work
