Sir,
Ref to your Editorial regarding implementation of CSR dated 10-06-2016 on the subject matter. This article has shown mirror to the authorities who want to bring transparency in the administration but lack implementing it themselves. All the regimes come with a promise to improve the public services and removing corruption. But if we see history of our administrative systems, we won’t find much difference being brought in the basic machinery of the governance. Employees are the machinery of any governing system, but every successive government has just used it, but not to its true potential. How can you expect that an employee will do justice to his work and to the public when he himself is the victim of all the injustice on various fronts. OPG is one of the top tortures to the employees when they are given higher responsibilities but with no pay scales. Most of the employees work on OPG during their entire service period and retire at their selection grade or one grade up.
It is not that new rules are to be made to do justice, even if existing laws and rule are implemented with letter and spirit, it will be a great achievement for any Government.
As has been said in your article that “The Government should appoint a Revision Committee comprising law and technical experts to re-examine the entire corpus of CSR and suggest profound and exhaustive reforms in regulations and make these compatible with the needs of current society and services.” Instead if Government appoints department wise committees to investigate that why CSR is not being followed and bring to task the culprits of all the mess, it will be a huge step towards transparency.
In the end, I want to point out one bad thing that has crept into our system that “there is punishment if you commit mistakes while doing your job but there is no punishment of not doing the things at all : No work No Punishment”
Yours etc…
