old king type racha sabha...
starting from CM office in secretariat to small to small panchayat office in any village... every person would have access to what the government is doing, and they can raise their doubts and questions and ingenuity at that open office forum. This way it would have utmost transparency in governance. Not only the people who elect the government are involved in direct making, creating, implementing of policies, they can even check the quality of it.
Since it is open, media and all others have complete access and also it could be telecast to TV live. The bottom line is transparency and no corruption.
eg: issuing a ration card to a family will be known to each and every person in the community and that village and his family's data is entered in the govt. web database. This way, every family will get ration card or other utilities and also no person can dare cheat, such as a person already having a utility card can not apply for new card since his family data and finger prints and photos are there in database which would result as "MATCH" and since it is an open office everyone would know who is cheating who.
Same is with Driving license, College admission, class rooms, hospitals, operating theaters, engineering contracts, constructions, govt lease agreements, police inquiries and almost everything where govt is involved, and potential cheater organizations involved.
The implementation of this open office system might not happen over night.. its kinda project which I would test on select cities, towns and panchayats first and then expand and implement gradually over the whole state.
You might ask there are some disadvantages such as time, cost and security concerns. But if you think seriously those issues can be easily taken care off. Addressing those issues might need lots of money but then when the government becomes transparent, we would save crores of money in govt. treasury.
Comments welcome. |
Nice thoughts. But one thing - it is neither desirable nor possible that every government decision should be made 100% non- discriminatory. The solution is not corruption but open discrmination. Say all licenses will be done at same speed but you pay Rs1000 bucks you get it done in half time. Rs 50000 bucks you get it right now. It is very likely that the rich would rather spend money than go corrupt.
But then will poilitical parties accept ? In vijayawada they are not accepting meters to water even when it is told that metering is essential to get more funding. |
