Money is thrown at issues in India when there’s a direct individual (or a few) beneficiary from that money throwing and the solving of that problem was not even the last point on the agenda.
So I’ll present an example. Let’s talk about a 10km road that needs repair. The discussion would start at points like how much the contractors would make, what will be the cut of tie engineer, chief engineer, MLA, MP, district administration if they are involved. Whether a cut has to go to the CM too? Or tje party fund. Things of practical interests.
How strong the road will be, how safe it would be, quality assurance etc are a matter of formality and routine which also ensures there’s another repair after a year or two and everyone is happy again.
However if the intention is to really solve a problem then it takes years - committee after committee, studies after studies - became no one is interested.
