In view of the Times story about the VIR projects by MSSRF, before publicizing the story will it not be better that ground realities be ascertained. I came across Gyandoot project implementers even in the last month, they were singing only praise & from their perspective project was not even the failure. Whole world today acknowledges that the Gyandoot and likes of it are total failures. Please take precautions to prevent publicity for only those projects which are good only on paper, with no regard to ground realities.
