Hello India, our 16th Parliament has crossed 100
days milestone and it is time to reflect on what changes you see around. As per
latest statistics available in media, a vast majority of our nation is under 35
years of age. And for those of us still in our 20s, for the first time in our life
we are having a Prime Minister whom we can TUNE-IN to. :D .
The first direct consequence I encountered was the “Cleaning
Drive” we had in our own semi-sarkari office. I don’t know how many of you came
to know of it? Just few days into the government, prime minister conducted a
meeting of all cabinet secretaries, a copy of MOM was sent to all ministries including
MoPNG to which my company EIL report. From there, the copy of MOM was sent to
all Oil Sector PSU’s C&MDs for implementation. And so on ...... finally at
the bottom of the chain my boss forwarding the mail in our group. J Given the willingness and effort, that how
fast communications can be, in fact should be.
The story doesn’t end there, the letter from the ministry required
Chairman(s) to send a compliance report within A TARGET DATE! Office cleanliness being of of the points. That’s
why our office broke out of the annual Diwali cleaning/weeding schedule in the
middle of the year. In general we can see that all the new schemes being
launched are having narrower time schedule. Take the example of
Jan-Dhan-Yojana, less than 6 months to include all households to our banking
networks. Even if you remove all the fan-fare, we have a good start. That’s the
business culture we need everywhere. That’s what our PM is capable of, India is
capable of.
Second in the series of feel-goods (finally NDA 2004 slogan
shaping real) is the presence of someone with the Gut required at top levels to
take strong decisions. Somebody remember Planning Commission. I remember my
arts stream seniors in high school Navodaya vidyalaya, discussing the merit and
demerit of 1st, 2nd
than 3rd and so on .... of
our 5 year plans. I am not saying we don’t need it, but point is even today it functions
mostly same as it used to in newly independent India. Somebody had to take the courage to FORCE IT evolve.
The king has ordered, departments would follow. One of the Deputy General
Managers from our company was recently called by the MoPNG cabinet secretaries, to explain “why they
need it?, how can they have it?, and IN WHAT TIME THEY CAN HAVE IT?,
ISO9001:2000 certification!” It is any body’s guess who have told all the
ministries to get one :D.
Finally the 3rd and most important point, the
inspiration and positive attitude Mr. Modi is constantly spreading. India and
abroad. Though too early to say, sentiment quantifier, our bourses are already picking
new heights. And We have GDP growth rate accelerating. Match has started with
good early score. He would get the best out of real players. The emphasis and
empowerment Mr. Modi is putting on the young-India is awesome. The real
strength which can transform it’s own fate given the sufficient time and opportunity.
To those of you who are still just waiting for the “अच्छे दिन”, He has a clear message, we Indians can do it and
shall do it. Actually अच्छे दिन आने
वाले नहीं, हम
सब मिल के
बनाने वाले है. जय
हिन्द।
