Sir,
Your innovative idea of publishing MLAs’ Report Card in the esteemed paper will go a long way in the development of J&K State. You deserve congratulations and thanks from the crore of heart of the people. It is quite natural that a man performs better when he is in competition and under evaluation. The MLAs will try their level best to develop their constituencies if the reporting is done on yearly basis.
On similar pattern Department wise performance of Ministers can also be evaluated.
However, while evaluating the performance of an MLA, some set procedure need to be adopted. For instance Report Card of MLA Kathua constituency published on 24-7-2014 has not covered all the achievements made by the MLA. The Heading was not in consonance with the material published in the paper. Out of 10 persons interviewed, eight spoke in favour, one mixed and one against. Then how can we say that the MLA was not upto the expectations. Moreover, out of 10 persons, six belonged to Kathua city, two were college students and two belonged to Palli area.
About 2/3 of the constituency remained unrepresented during evaluation. Hence, a few of the achievements made by the MLA Kathua constituency are given below :-
Road connectivity, digging of tubewells, establishment of infrastructure in health care sector, upgradation of schools, distribution of electric polls etc was done purely on merit basis. Denotification of Jasrota wild life century for road, Khokyal checkdam, bridge over Kathua Khad connecting Khokyal with Narolian thus reducing distance from 15 Km to one Km of some of the villages, Ghatti Industrial estate, 3000 kanals which will provide employment to local youths.
Yours etc…
