Bring in systemic changes PM

Pune

It is time to bring in systemic changes PM

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the home minister of India said, "I think we should take serious note of concerns expressed by captains of industry and business. There is indeed a governance deficit in some areas and perhaps there is also an ethical deficit."
 
This is a very serious comment by a person seating in the government. If we loose on the ethical base of our actions and the governance, what is left? What is government doing to improve the situation?? I think systemic changes must precede all administrative reforms. 

Appoint a permanent commission (like UPSC, Election Commission), with adequate constitutional authority, to continuously review all systemic provisions in the public administration. The Commission should be authorised to review all provisions of law, administrative systems and procedures and bring in permanent  changes across the board.

Reflections: Food Food


Food Food: The celebrity Chef, Sanjeev Kapoor has  launched India's first Hindi 24x7 Food Lifestyle Channel 'FOODFOOD'. It will feature, for the very first time, Hinglish content that will be produced and packaged in India, making the shows relevant to the Indian audience. In order to connect to their audience in India, FOODFOOD will feature shows about food and food lifestyle like 'Sanjeev Kapoor's Kitchen', ' Firangi Tadka ', ' Sirf 30 Minute ' and Ready Steady Cook. Prominent personalities form the entertainment and food industry such as Chef Chinu, Chef Harpal, Chef Rakesh Sethi, and more will feature as part of the varied offerings on the channel. FoodFood is also the first Indian channel that's entirely shot in high definition.

It is indeed fun watching this channel. All those who love food must watch FoodFood.

Governance by Mafia: There are three tapping points in a state's distribution chain from where cheap kerosene meant for sale through ration shops is diverted, more often than not, in collusion with civil supplies officials and police.
 
Although quite disturbing but not surprising. All public dealings appear to be full of rackets. Why not legalize rackets and mafia dealings. That will save trouble of investigations.
