Theory of Administration

January 22, 1983 Statements by the state government authorities indicate that they have realised that the problems of Bombay cannot be solved at local levels and that there is the need for planning at the regional level The organisations of industrialists have come out in open with problems that they are currently facing in managing the industries. Militant trade union organisations with their determination to continue with their agitation will help in hastening the action on the declarations of the government and the industrialists. One should not be surprised, therefore, if the UN projection of population of Bombay of 17 million for year 2000 does not come true and if one notices in the future out- migration from Bombay as is already noticed from the City proper. And this will not be a new phenomenon since it has been already experienced in Calcutta Metropolitan area.
