We're getting better: Kanda

Making a strong case for Hyderabad, chief secretary Mohan Kanda on Tuesday said that the city had been growing much faster than its ‘friendly rival’ Bangalore if we go by the last year’s figures. “It doesn’t matter how we are growing as long as we are growing and I think we have picked up that end of the stick and growing further,” he said at the My Hyderabad My Destiny IT Conclave organised by The Times of India-Virtusa India in association with Taj Krishna and Jet Airways. “The important thing to remember is we have been struck in some sort of developmental persuasion for a long long time and it is necessary for us to come out, break free and to do things differently. The carrying capacity of the eco system has to be substantially enhanced and that will require not merely some sort of linear or incremental effort but we should see the way we are doing things — holistic, inclusive, participatory — where everyone holds a joint effort. I believe that’s when we see things changing,” he said. tating that one should accept objective criticism and that there are messages to be learnt from other cities like Bangalore, he cited the example of a reputed Hollywood actor who applied for a membership of an exclusive Hollywood club. He was apparently given the membership but he rejected it by saying, “I do not wish to join a club which accepts people like me.” Kanda hoped that Hyderabad would get out of that kind of situation and that he was eagerly looking forward to be a proud Hyderabadi in the context of being seen as tried and succeeded in wooing capital and productive investments into the city. He concluded with two stories, which his father narrated to him, to say that those who come to Hyderabad would come again and would not leave the city at all.
