New BPL criteria.....A Big joke by Government Agency...

खुश हो जाइए आप अमीर हैं अगर आप रोज़ खरीद सकते हैं -


0.44 रुपये का फल

0.70 रुपये की चीनी

5.00 रुपये का गेहूं

5.00 रुपये का चावल

1.00 की दाल

2.30 रुपये का दूध 85 ग्राम

1.80 रुपये की सब्जी

याने अगर आप रोज़ 32 रुपये रोज़ खर्च करने की हैसियत रखते हैं तोआप अमीर हैं... आपको कोई सबसिडी नहीं मिलेगी...योजना आयोग (अध्यक्ष मौनमोहन) ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट को बताया है की गाँव मे 26 रुपया और शहर मे 32 रुपया कहर्च कर सकने वाला व्यक्ति गरीब नहीं है... चार लोगों के परिवार को महीने मे 3860 रुपये पर्याप्त होते हैं ... अब आप हिसाब लगाये आप कितने अमीर ? .....
I feel pathetic about data collecting and analysing agencies in India which are far far away from ground realities...This is the reason behind the failure of maximum developmental schemes....An Aeroplane approach towards making developmental policies will never help India...We have to be realistic and adopt helicopter approach for developmental policy making to bridge the gap between INDIA Vs BHARAT...Keep on blogging..

Eye opening report of CVC....Anna Effect???

 THE Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) disposed of 1681 cases during July 2011 referred to it for advice. Of these, 1263 complaints were sent for necessary action/ATR whereas 94 complaints were sent for investigation and report. No action was required on 287 complaints.
      The Commission advised imposition of major penalty against 165 officers including 22 from Ministry of Railway, 17 from Union Bank of India, 13 from Punjab National Bank, 11 each from Corporation Bank and South Eastern Coalfields Ltd., 9 from Employees Provident Fund Organisation, 8 from Ministry of Urban Development, 7 each from Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Surface Transport and Central Board of Excise & Customs, 6 from Syndicate Bank, 5 from Oriental Bank of Commerce. 4 each from Central Board of Direct Taxes, Central Coalfields Ltd. and United India Insurance Co. Ltd. Remaining 30 cases pertained to different departments of the Government of India and PSUs. Recoveries to the tune of about Rs.5.94 crore were effected after Commission conducted technical examination of some departments.
          But I am surprised to see no names from IAS,IPS,IFS,IFoS.....from the above report it seems major irregularities are in Banking sector...I doubt....what about state bureaucracy???....or it is only matter of chance that other service officials are an easy prey of CVC and IAS,IPS,IFS and IFoS are powerful enough to be touched by CVC..

CBDT vs CBEC

THE two specialised Boards under the Revenue Department – the CBEC and CBDT are expected to work with close co-operation and co-ordination for an orderly tax administration in the country. But it is a sad fact that there is hardly any communication between the Boards. Some crucial legislative changes brought in by one Board are not informed to the other Board with the result that there is an inordinate time lag between identical amendments.
Of late, there seems to be visible rivalry and petty squabbles between the Boards. A pretty building named Rajaswa Bhavan is coming up in Delhi to house the headquarters of Indian Revenue – both the Boards. It seems the CBEC is getting a few hundreds of square metres of more space in the new building than the CBDT. Office space is scarce in Lutyen's Delhi and every babu would like to have as much of it for himself. It seems CBDT has complained to Revenue headquarters that CBEC getting more space is unfair.
DDT 1633 - 20.06.2011 had reported that the Customs tableau would be part of Republic Day Parade 2012. Now the CBDT has pitched in with its demand for its own tableau.
There is nothing wrong in a department asking for its share, but both the Boards would immensely benefit if they put in a combined effort. It should be ‘together' instead of ‘against each other'. After all the time tested British scheme of ‘divide and rule' is always available for the administration.

Should Sri Anna Hazare get Bharat Ratna or Nobel Peace Prize???

Hello everybody....during last few months, India is witnessing turmoil in socio-economic-political milieu..At one hand, country is witnessing increasing crime against women,old age,weaker sections, fake encounter,etc...on the other hand, common people is suffering hugely by increasing prices,inflation,corruption,etc and on the political front, instability, blinking leadership,corruption allegations, Dharnas etc.

     I was closely monitoring the recent development specially during Anna Hazare's Satyagraha which was 100% peaceful and on the lines of Gandhian Styagraha...We must appreciate the way the battle against corruption, maladministration and trust deficit between government and civil society is being fought in the context when several countries are undergoing political turmoil, clashes between the ruling and opposition,etc...In our country also, common man is suffering from all malice due to red tapism,corruption and inefficiency but still He has the patience and manner to fight his battle with peaceful means despite myriads of provocation. The credit to this show of  peaceful protest must goes to the founding father of the nation, freedom fighters as well as Team Anna headed by Sri Anna Hazare Ji....Anna ji has become a popular ICON....Indian youth has found him as their Ideal after a long time. Country is looking towards him with lots of Hope and aspirations to make this country corruption free and livable place.

  I think after JP movement in late seventies, this was the second largest peaceful protest staged across the country despite having any overt political or organisational steering....Civil society voluntarily came forward to carry forward this movement. They all were united behind Anna ji who was preaching non violence method of protest. As a result of JP movement several new leaders came on the political canvass and people of this country blessed them power at the Centre...on the same line, I think Anna ji has done lot of good things to the society and in future also he is going to be an inspiration to numerous paradigm shift in the institutional arrangements in the country. Therefore, I strongly advocate 'Bharat Ratna' award to Sri Anna Hazare Ji...Who else can be a better option to this award ?? This way, Indian citizens will definitely blessed Sri Anna ji in real sense.

        Besides, if we see the global context where institutional changes are being carried out through violent means or through BIG BOSS intervention e.g. regime change in Iraq,Egypt or Syria, Indian peaceful protest to change the systemic faults under the leadership of Anna Ji is a beacon to rest of the world. He shows to the world that how a powerful centre can bent before the peaceful protest of millions of citizen of the Country..How a dictatorial attitude of leader can be changed without shedding a drop of blood. In the real sense Anna Ji is a messenger of World Peace.. Therefore, I firmly believe that Sri Anna Hazare ji should be honoured by Nobel Peace Prize...

       One may not be agreed by the views expressed above but at some corner of his/her heart must be feeling obliged towards Sri Anna Hazare ji who at the age of 74 yrs fasted for 12 days for common cause.

Now I invite responsible readers of this blog to comment on Should Sri Anna Hazare ji get Bharat Ratna or Nobel Peace Prize Award for his work?....keep on blogging...
