Elephantine Deals of Maya Kin Under Lens......

Elephantine Deals of Maya Kin Under Lens...... Headlines, The Economic Times of 28th January 2013

Regret the issue of corruption has  taken centre stage, and Governance come to a halt.

While we know it was always there, it is now finding its spot under the light.No amount of legislation will curb this.
The only way to resolve this is to have a central website
where money when allocated to various ministries
the ministries in turn display the heads under which they allocate
this tree keeps growing down until it hits the root,
which is the last point of disbursement.

It is here that any member of society can verify if what is mentioned at the root is spent or not.
This is the best way to root out corruption from its roots.
This one act will change the face of the country and within 3 years of implementation we shall be within the Global Top 10 of honest societies.

We also need a law to be passed that if any Public servant / Businessman/ Professional is caught with money beyond his declared source of Income/wealth, then this money is credited to an account of the Central Government and the onus of proving the truth of the money lies with the individual if he has right over it.
This one Act of Parliament will take care of the rest.

Premji Throws a Cat among Pigeons,

Premji Throws a Cat among Pigeons, Supports Rich Tax.. Headlines, The Economic Times, 24th january 2013.

I think it is a better idea if an individual who heads an Institution / establishment earns cumulative in excess of Rs 100,000/- per day, then the Institution / Establishment must have a Fair wage scheme in place. 

Firstly it must be understood that the Company is a single entity.The Management and Workers are not in a Us....Vs...Them situation. All are working towards a common goal, of producing a superior product. All are expected to contribute their best towards this effort.

If all are contributing, then the rewards must also be shared by all in a defined proportion.

It is not anybody's right to exploit another- be it shareholder or worker. Once the output of all are defined, and their share in the Pie, then there can never be a bad situation. The solution therefore is about the receivables in any industry or situation. Currently the max perks are received at the top and the crumbs picked off the floor at the bottom of the pyramid. This is a misconceived notion that it is the top alone that deserves the credit for success. Success can be achieved when every player in the game plays his part and contributes to the targeted goal. We need to create a winning situation and a prosperous society where everyone who contributes gets rewarded. Let us assume these are the different levels in an industry.

Chairman & Managing Director,(10x)
CEO,(9x)
Manager,(7.2x)
Divisional In Charge,(6x)
Foreman,(4x)
Supervisor, (2.5x)
workers (1x)

If say x=Rs 10,000, then the CMD gets max Rs 1 Lakh. Once this definition is accepted / legislated, then in a given industry if the CMD thinks he deserves more, he has to ensure the value of x at the ground level in his organization changes. This one act will create a healthy environment within the organization, and within society.

This is the best way ahead both for the Promoter, The Organisation and The Worker. This is applicable to every Industry. The answer lies in equitable distribution of the wealth created without discrimination.

More non-potable water for SoBo in 4 to 5 months

More non-potable water for SoBo in 4 to 5 months.... The Times of India, 23rd Jan'2013.

While it is a good idea to also supply non potable water, it may be a good idea if the authorities concerned  have all large flush tanks replaced by slim line in residences. Also all residential flush tanks must have a smaller compartment, so that one need not flush 5 ltrs after a urine release, when 1 ltr would do.This one act could save the country of a huge waste of natural resource down the drain.

Eight bike racers arrested on WEH

Eight bike racers arrested on WEH...... The Times of India, pg 7, 22nd January 2013.

Racing beyond the specified speed on given sections of the street should be monitored by cameras, and those defying this should be heavily penalised. Suggest a fine of Rs 1000/- for the first offence, and multiples of Rs 5000/- for every subsequent offence and a Jail Term.

Secondly it is the State's responsibility to ensure the Good Health of its citizens. Healthcare is more important than Medicare. A drive down any street or road in the state, will cause so many jerks to the spine, the possibility of having a slip disc is far greater. 

Maybe we need to invest on a smoother ride, if we are to care for our populace.....
