However, 2007-12, private sector contributed 36.6% in the overall infrastructure investment, leading to infrastructure investment rising from approx. 5% of GDP during 2002-07 to 7% of GDP during 2007-12 1 . But the gained momentum could not be sustained and it is estimated to have slowed down to 5.6% GDP during 2013-17. This decline in infrastructure investment is attributed to slowdown in overall private sector investment. However, some of the fundamental issues which have plagued private investment are related to shortfall of innovative & strategy project planning and execution, risk allocation and policy relate issues. Undertaking measures under these areas shall send string signal to the market about Government's commitment towards building a robust PPP framework. The paper shall discuss the problem areas where India does not compare favorably with other countries in executing projects. Our experience of executing PPP model especially in road & highways sector have been analyzed with focus on problem areas, possible alternatives to these issues and conditions of their applicability in short term and long term. Government and industry's data show that on average, each project takes from 20 to 25 percent time and cost-over runs, whereas in some sectors this is over 50 percent. Further Indian providers (EPC companies) often fail to utilize opportunities to reduce cost and time. Low investment in planning and engineering leads to selecting unviable projects or over estimating project scope and under estimating costs.

Java ME includes flexible user interfaces, robust security, built-in network protocols, and support for networked and offline applications that can be downloaded dynamically. Applications based on Java ME are portable across many devices, yet leverage each device's native capabilities.

When will I get there? GPS technology can answer all these questions. GPS satellite can show you exact position on the earth any time, in any weather, no matter where you are! GPS technology has made an impact on navigation and positioning needs with the use of satellites and ground stations the ability to track aircrafts, cars, cell phones, boats and even individuals has become a reality.
