Achhe Din

Hello India, our 16^th 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 1^st,  2^nd than 3^rd 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 3^rd 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।
