| Summary, etc. |
The successive efforts at reforming the administrative structures of the country have proved not only ineffective but counter productive at times. A little has been done to weed out corruption, simplify rules and procedures and to make punishment exemplary and deterrent. The Utopian discourses at good governance have hardly been matched by sincere endeavour to put them in practice and prevalence. As a result we have witnessed development schemes being drawn and implemented on the basis of fragmented, half-cooked and sometimes fictitious data that is doled out by an uninspired and lethargic system down below. Nothing can be more distant from field truths and ground reality. Some realistic and basic changed nee d to be formulated to wean the system away from its aimlessness and lack of purpose. Such a formulation should encompass training as a continuous process, transparency in working and quick decision-making. - Reproduced. |
