Formula 1 or Tour De France

Utter Pradash state government  acquired about 2,500 acres of land for private investor Jaypee Groups for the development of industrial projects. 

The larger part of this land is developed for sports and leisure purpose. The question arises, Is sports and leisure Industry too ?  yes it is a industry too , the society at large has to broader its definition of understanding towards  "industry" as entity

The selection of sports and leisure Industries over the agriculture industry is question for argument  when it comes to employment ship for bigger population in local contest and its replication towards the existing parallel industries. 



The advocacy for the Formal one sports , is that it would give a edge to India's image of  highway of development in global transport system. 


To organise events  tour de france  in India would have been more relevant for encouraging public transport and urban road safety policy , larger shear for component sector in global  industry for urban transportation and of course the sports and  leisure for the 1.71 billion.
    




According to figures form the engineering exports promotion council, in 2007-08' India exported bicycle and components worth US $ 185.42 million , and the auto components  has been exporting around 13 per cent of its output. In the year 2009-10, the industry exported goods worth US$ 3.8 billion


 The shear of auto component is bigger in size of revenue.  Further analyses of auto market /component shows , lager shear is comes form two (- three ) wheeler 


On an average a daily commuter travels 11 miles ( about 18 Km) by spending  24 minutes in its private owned vehicle ( POV)

The dependence on motorised 2/3 wheeler in India  for commuting is largely from the lack of inefficient public transport and  difficulties either that outcome  where the mobility of pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles is impaired, but also because of a blatant lack of consideration for pedestrians and bicycles in the physical design of infrastructures and facilities.

Urban productivity is highly dependent on the efficiency of its transport system to move labor, consumers and freight between multiple origins and destinations.



Its the need of 1.71 billion population to have a transport policy and infrastructure for efficient , safe,  cost effectiveness and environmental green that is lacking in India.
