Suggestion for Good Planning

Government of India has expressed desire to seek suggestions and views from public to bring about reformation in planning and they have uploaded a discussion icon on t website of Planning Commission.


What is the use of seeking suggestions from public?


Any reformation is incomplete as long as human values are ignored and disrespected. Corruption can never be controlled by corrupt officers. Justice cannot be expected in time from corrupt judges. Corrupt ministers can never ensure good governance. Corrupt Chartered Accountants cannot stop malafide transactions and fraud in financial statements. Corrupt lawyers cannot ensure timely justice with the victim. Corrupt ministers and corrupt departmental heads cannot allow good officers to remain in and around his work place.


Economic reformation launched in1991 has helped in multiplying and aggravating the proportion of corruption in public life. Businessmen are given absolute freedom to earn profit as much as they like and this is the main reason behind relentless price rise and this is why price rise has gone beyond control of the administration and the government.


Labour reforms or judicial reforms are disliked by all politicians who believe in earning illegal money.


It is therefore not an exaggeration to say that none of the offices responsible for looking after welfare of working class is doing their job properly. It is bitter but undeniable truth.


Bribe based recruitment,whimsical transfer with malafide intention, bribe based promotion, forgery in examination, sale of examination question papers of all important examinations , bribe based setting with interviewers to pass the test, use of lobby to get good posting and before time promotion and so on , all these have become common and usual style of functioning and characteristics of all public organizations. Good employees are sidelined and corrupt employees are getting preferences in all government offices, Banks and PSUs.


Flattery and dishonesty has become the key to success in all fields.


In such position there is no use in framing policy or formulating attractive plans or asking for suggestions from the public to bring about reformation.


Until top ranked officers, ministers, public representatives, politicians and government staff in general become honest and patriot Indians cannot dream of getting justice in any field.


To add fuel to fire, Indian judiciary is corrupt, inactive and inefficient .It takes decades in getting judgments from courts in India. There is lack of adequate quality manpower in courts and hence lacs and cores of cases are allowed to remain pending for years together. Justice delayed is justice denied. Aggrieved person do not like to seek remedy from police department or judiciary. Everywhere bribe money plays the prominent role. In such position courts are used to perpetrate crime and carry out rule of injustice.


Even offices of Prime Minister and President of India do not listen to public grievances, not to speak of other offices meant to make effort for redressal of public grievances though there are several such departments. All such departments are working as forwarding agents or as manufacturerers of money. They simple forward the letter or complain to concerned office and sleep. None is at all bothered to serve the people though there are called public servants


What is the need of Interview or discretion in recruitment or promotion when most of the officers are corrupt?


What is the value of annual or periodical appraisal of employees or carrying out test for promotion when conducting officials are themselves corrupt .Who cares for merit?


None indeed.


All top officers keep flatterers and corrupt officials around them to earn more and more bribe and accumulate wealth as much as possible.


Central Government is allowing time bound promotion and seniority based promotion to staff. Why Public Sector Banks are allowing whimsical promotion, arbitrary transfer and fresh recruitment in higher cadres bypassing existing staff of experience of ten to thirty years in banking.


Are banks top executive earning money in recruitment, posting and promotion like other government departments?

Who is accountable for bribe based recruitment and bribe based promotions taking place in banking industry?


Why public petitions pertaining to corruption, injustice in wage revision and posting of corrupt ED and CMD in banks submitted to Prime Minister and Finance Ministers are ignored?


Why bank executives who have earned illegal money and accumulated wealth by lending to bad borrowers or writing off their dues are getting one after other promotion and cream posting.


Are all these possible due to strong lobby of corrupt officials?

Why government is unable to control growing NPA in banks and punish those bank officers whose ill motivated lending and ill motivated management of human resources resulted in increase in NPA.


This is the story of practically all departments under the control of the government. Everywhere criminals and defaulters are respected and given recognition.


After all why is PM silent on all vital issues related to erosion in human values?


Prime Minister wrote letters to Telecom Minister but did not act to ensure that his advice is followed in true spirit. Nation lost lacs of crores of rupees.


Is mere writing of letter or forwarding of letter to concerned officer or office enough to bring about reformation?


PM allowed Kalmadi to spend 70000/ crores of rupees and could not stop malpractice despite the fact that media highlighted various irregularities.PM allowed deal with Devos on S band and later annulled the same in fear of public anger.


PM has allowed public sector banks to increase NPA or conceal NPA or sell NPA in the name of banking reformation and causing loss after loss to bank in lacs of crores of rupees.


To add fuel to fire PM allows debt waiver of forces banks to opt for compromise and sacrifice bank’s assets.


What is happening in this country after all?


Who will save this country from corrupt people?


Can such PM be allowed to cause one after other losses only due to constraints of coalition government? Is it coalition religion to survive in power?


I would like to advice our honorable PM not to malign at least the word religion. Because none of the religions in universe will allow theft of money, or disrespect to human being or compromise with human values. Manmohan Singh should say that corruption is an art used by politicians to acquire or to remain in power.


If Prime Minister of the country can allow corrupt practices, how can he dream of good governance in other offices of central or state government?


How will our learned PM then punish corrupt people as he has been promising since long?

Flattery Culture & Corruption

Message for those who like flattery and who are expert in flattery

One cannot cure disease merely by applying ointment on the skin until they purify and modify the system, bring about u-turn in HR management, avoid direct recruitment in higher scale, and identify experienced officers who have been rejected in Interviews by officers of vested interest.

Abolish Interview system and ensure time bound promotions to motivate and judicious award to senior officers,

Don`t humiliate seniors by forcing them to work under juniors, inculcate work culture and avoid flattery culture, stop visiting branches and offices just to deliver lectures and punish officers who are constrained to spend lacs of rupees from bank account to extend red carpet welcome to visiting officers,

Those who deliver good lecture are not always good for health of bank.

Unfortunately banks have gone in the hands of a few executives who have acquired talent in delivering good speech but who are corrupt in their action.

Flattery to big bosses occurs only in India, not elsewhere in the world. Interview system has been abolished in many central government offices; stagnation word is removed from Central pay rules. Inculcate work culture like private banks.

It is shameful for 100 year old PSBs that in less than two decades business of private banks has gone higher than that of many PSBs and customers preference is not PSB but ICICI, HDFC or Axis bank. This should be clear indicator of some fault in HRM. Whimsical powers of transfer and promotion has adversely affected the work culture and it has gone worse than what existed before 1980.

If you do not believe on what has been said above you may compare the business profile of pre-nationalization, post- nationalization and post reformation and draw results to bring about positive change. Prosperity of any organization depends on pleasure index of workers and customers.

It is not pay structure which can create devotion and loyalty to the organization. Had pay been real motivator, PSBs would have remained in better position than private banks because average pay of employees of PSBs is little more than that of private banks.

I therefore always say that flattery culture has spoilt health of banks in public sector , also in all other government offices. BSNL and Indian airlines are facing the same sickness compared to new generation telecom companies and private airlines.

Ministers like flattery and money and hence they do not like poor and honest persons, they too like rich and corrupt who can earn and share their ill earned money with government officials and politicians.CBI and CVC all are victim of flattery culture. Good performers are allwhere sidelined and isolated from mainstream and hence all PSUs are almost sick.

Discard flattery and keep away flatterers, if you want to make your organization strong enough to compete with global giants. Otherwise you will like MMS and his team also prefers FDI for survival of the economy. Indira Gandhi became victim of flatterers and MMS along with Sonia is also suffering from same disease. This is why, India as a whole is rated worst on corruption index by Transparency International. Image of the country is getting eroded year after year only due to all pervasive flattery culture.

Internet Censorship

Now Kapil Sibal on behalf of ruling Congress party is trying to build pressure on CEOs of Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo etc to censor news pertaining to Sonia Gandhi and other leaders. But these CEOs have refused to accept the request made by Kapil Sibal taking plea that they cannot encroach upon fundamental right of Freedom of speech granted to citizens.

Now Kapil is trying to tight the screws of these social networking sites so that they may stop allowing criticism against their leaders. This is freedom of speech or democracy as preached by Kapil and his mentor Sonia Gandhi. Government is contemplating of introducing internet censorship. Of course the idea is good provided it is not used only for safeguarding prominent leaders of his party but for safety and security of the Nation.

It is ironical that learned advocate Sri Kapil Sibal is worried about comments made on FB against Sonia Gandhi and other leaders of Congress Party who are scam master and who act against the spirit of common men but Mr. Sibal is not worried about terror activities going on in the country through these social networking sites. Naxals, Maoist, foreign based terrorist are openly using FB to spread their dirty network. FB is openly used for spreading anti national message. There is no control on users and neither has it seems to be practically possible.

Learned advocate Sri Sibal is not worried about sharp fall taking place in cultural values in children due to misuse of FB like social networking sites. He is not aware how children of modern era are going away from study and spoiling their precious time on FB. He is perhaps not aware that even staffs in government offices are busy in chatting on FB even during office hours. The great flatterer is worried because dirty pictures of his colleagues in Congress Party are displayed on these social networking sites. He is not worried for the fact that even defense secrets are leaked to enemy nations through internet hacking only.

I intend to request our leaders like Kapil to discard flattery and perform fully in the interest of the country without any bias towards opposition parties or Team Anna or Ramdeo if their suggestions are in the interest of the country. Government is made by the people, for the people and of the people of India , but unfortunately Kapil is using the government powers as if Government is of the ministers, by the ministers and for the ministers.
