Can technology fix India's filth and corruption?

India has big problems with dirty streets and corruption. Dense, overpopulated, urban communities have led to huge issues with sanitation, and according to Transparency International's corruption index, more than half of Indians say they've paid a bribe in the last year.

In Bangalore though, India's "Silicon Valley", there are people who think that tech can be the solution to India's problems. But in a country where just over 11% of the population are connected to the internet, is this really possible?
 
These are knee jerk reactions on a very small scale to issues of dirt ,sanitation and corruption

Technology cannot do much .

Unless the basic issues of slum eradication takes place - See every apartment block needs a slum colony nearby with labour to service these apartments for house

work and other civic services. Unless slums are upgraded with good living rooms with water ,sanitation,power supply there can be no solution. Dirt if once removed will collect

again and how long can cleaning be done thru smart phones. Corruption can be eradicated if goods and services are available in plenty at reasonable rates.

poverty eradication should have the highest priority . who is bothered about cooked up figures of GDP when there is no percolation of money to poorer sections of

society.the difference between the rich and the poor has only increased with reforms and opening out of economy. who has gained from it ?. not definitely the poor
 
Clean India or "Swacch Bharat" can never be attained unless our total population comes down significantly and, side by side, urbanization and urban crowding also gets drastically. Both these are not in the forward visions of any political party and hence, both these will remain mere slogans like satyam vada, etc.

Technology will only add to the non-bio-degradable and hazardous waste, for the systematic and safe disposal of which we have absolutely no ideas or plans. Technology will not be helpful, therefore.
