VOICE OF THE PEOPLE- A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE

The govt. bureaucrats may have been given targets- but are they in sync with

a)People-Demographic Dividend- perspective;b)Growth/improvement/Productivity & Value add perspective;c)Cost & Efficiency perspective;d)Trade, Industry and Service sectors perspective.

I am only trying to put some of my thoughts here on this.

For example, People perspective may contain 1)Targets, Plans vs Actuals for review of Basic Infrastructure requirements of the citizens whose welfare is supposedly in their hands;

2)the reviews may be done in terms of Quality, Cost and Delivery;

3)Local administration may be looked after, along with a Steering council to assist the Bureaucrats; this Steering Council may have nominated representatives with fixed tenure of 1 to 2 years, as suggested in the box below:

Equal weightage may be given to all Stakeholders.

the above matrix gives representation to all the Pillars of Democracy. This framework can also be used as a sounding board for the Policies to be passed by the Legislature.

Apart from regular interactions atleast once a month, whenever any emergency communication will have to be sent to the people also like in a Disaster situation, this Council can be convened for quick dissemination of govt. communication and for transparent functioning. Power when expressed through transparent communication at the ground level can build Trust in the long run.

The Govt can then have a motto which reads " In People we Trust"- Vox Populi, Vox Dei.

Why Indian Rupee is falling steeply against US dollar?

The Indian Rupee recently crossed the 97 mark against the US Dollar, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. If you've been tracking exchange rates or planning a trip abroad, you've probably felt the pinch. Everything from imported electronics to cooking oil is getting more expensive. And your money just doesn't stretch as far as it used to. This isn't a one-day blip. The rupee has been on a steady downward slide for months, and the reasons go deeper than most headlines suggest. It's a mix of what's happening inside India's economy and what's happening across the globe. Trade deficits, foreign investors pulling out money, rising oil prices, the US Federal Reserve keeping interest rates high — all of these are pulling the rupee in the wrong direction at the same time. In this post, we'll break down the key domestic pressures weighing on the rupee and the global forces making the US Dollar stronger. We'll also look at what the Reserve Bank ...

Hanuman and Ganesha!

The two major loved deities of the Hindu pantheon are Hanuman and Ganesha. Let us dwell into the concepts and significance of these two dieties. Ganesha, the son of Parvati and Shiv, is worshipped first before starting any new job or work.
