Gifts, freebies and votebank poliics
Introduction:
Many a times, it is essential to advocate many welfare measures in order to attract girls to return to school for education as it is principal part of life as the better gender needs to be educated more so that all the conventional blind beliefs would be slowly removed from the perception of individuals. It is always said that it is ladies who always deal with many restrictions to their juniors and in order to find the right way of living one should always read and unite all these ideas. In the recent attack on a social activist while she was inside one small village nearer to capital, she was vehemently opposing the child marriage which was been conducted there, and then within seconds she was attacked by a group of people, think of a situation where she is alone and is being attacked by a small mob yet she carefully comes out from that situation.
Solo strength:
How she was rescued, as no one there to save her, she is good at karate, and was learning and mastering this art and she used her skills to protect herself from the attacking mob who were in support of child marriage out there. Though she was hurt, the injuries are not fatal and critical yet she succeeded and saved her own life and then she came back and reported the incident. This is one such brilliant example where one can find a way out in such recent traits of attacks on ladies, this is one answer and that is to enhance the basic power so that while in danger you may be injured but still you can come out clean and secure from the endangering situations and in this way, the basic tenets of security is not to depend upon others but to empower oneself so that one can still fight against all the odds and in this manner the basic tenets of security is managed with it in full scale.
Braveness of Rani Laxmi Bai:
In the history of India, we can find numerous example, illustrations and legends where we can find that ladies have played the pivotal role in determining the strength and in this way the perfect example is Rani Laxmi Bai, who single-handedly defended British, East India company and halt their progress, she could do it successfully, if not there were traitors inside of her own army, otherwise with her courage even modern weapons of East India company still could not reduce her power to advance against them. So, in history one can find numerous examples where ladies have shown their braveness and other acts of courage so it is high time, girls should learn how to combat if at all they fall prey to such situation and for this it is essential for all parents to look and think of such situation in serious.
Bicycle gifts fiasco:
Still, there are some instances when some tries hard to cheat the system and it is true that a system able to know it and for this they also advance some fences while performing and dealing with welfare measures. There is one scheme of government is to distribute bicycles to girls who are appearing for class ten board examinations as this is the prized possession where most of girl have left school after class seven or eight and for this in order to motivate them and their parents in order to send them to school this scheme is nice one and also it has shown rich benefits in earning reputation of completing education of girls there. It is also true that there are some instances where the parents are sending their girls to school till the tenth board examination at the time they will be getting bicycles. Sometimes, what is appalling is that some of them do not reach class on time, and after certain specific time, when they will have to reach school, they tend to come in order to get the attendance and then they receive bicycle by appearing for examination.
Then, they receive bicycle and then they tend to sell it for hand some money to shop keepers and receive money from them, what I am telling here is that it is not permanent in each case but it is prevalent and this trend is there for all the time and for this government should look this aspect of life as with proper prevention mechanisms they can control this phenomena. As the sole aim of government in giving out bicycle to girl students is to convenient them while reaching at school as with bicycle they can easily reach at home without any sort of difficulties and for this it is a sole matter of urgent importance as government should look this in strict manner so as to check this after getting bicycles these should not be sold to shop keepers.
Proper check and balance is the need of the hour:
This is an example of how a sound decision making can sometimes turn into some other way when the proper check and balance have not been carried out and proper mechanisms have not been done in a secure manner. In order to constitute a proper law is not the sole discretion with it one should look into how these laws should be properly executed and also how these laws are taking shape after implementation as government must see the third party should not be getting rich dividends from all of these welfare policies. It is the duty of government to check whether girls are coming with bicycle or not or they have sold it somewhere.
All these need to be taken seriously with due heart and mind. While implementing policies government must looked into the economic and financial part of it so as it will not be making any such disturbances to the entire economy with any such of widest part of imagination otherwise if economies suffer while implementation of these policies as these can have long standing impact on social and economic structure of any country and in this manner the entire back bone of economy can face stiff resistance from everywhere without any such doubts and limitations.
Micro level management:
In short it is high time one should properly review the entire policy matter of how it is performing at the micro level as well as macro level, in the micro level the beneficiaries should be observed and how their improvement to life should be done and for this it is important to keep a strong look on how these beneficiaries are protecting these welfare schemes or they are simply entering into the frame in order to get these freebies, all these need to be carefully considered and amended and for this it is entirely a part of importance is to watch what you have circulated and how these people are benefited from it and from it you can get some valiant and important information which no one knows can work wonder and this can lead to a complexly new set of freebies administrator can find and then can implement.
At the macro level one should think of entire expenditure structure of how much you are going to spend on any scheme and how this will affect yours ongoing economies, as all these will be done from tax-payer’s pocket and for this it is of utmost importance is to search for nice investment opportunities coupled with benefit schemes that will not hurt your economy from the wildest sense of imagination. There is opinion due to some welfare scheme the state of economy is in feeble state, it may be true or may not be but one should diagnose about it and find the way out from it in order to get back to express way instead of a slow and steady muddy road of economy. One should always think about the path to recovery otherwise slow the country could face the black hole of borrowings which has endless meaning and no one can revive the economy from that state.
Roadblocks:
It is of some importance to find the relevance of any scheme and how it is performing. Here, is one latest example of how a sound intended scheme can go in a wrong way if not was introduced with sufficient proper preparation. In Orissa, a fresh scheme introduced by the state government is all about improving the nutritious value of children, mostly minor school going children. This scheme was started at a micro level as the government wants it as an experiment and for this it started in three governments run schools in three districts.
This scheme is all about giving one tablet which will give enhance nutritious elements within children’s health and one more tablet for curing and preventing children health care and diseases. This is a noble intention as for world health organization, children in India especially girls consume less nutritious food and this is a path to improve health care of them, as we know in government schools most students come from poor sections of society and they hardly have food and cloths and for this school is giving them free food and clothe and in addition to this the vitamin tablets would have improve their health to a greater extent. It is fitting government distributed tablets to three schools in three different districts, predominantly coastal regions.
The circular is all about giving students one tablet of nutritious vitamin and the other for good health, but the teachers gave students three or four tablets as most of nutritious vitamin tablets are consisting of irons and other calcium and for this with the advent of high degree of irons their health deteriorated and they were admitted to hospital on time, and all the students are now healthy but there are some side effects due to high degree of dosages. The government should have first appointed some medical professionals before implementing such schemes. Otherwise, a seminar concentrating on teachers should be allowed where, concerned teachers were taught about procedures in giving medicines as well as they should be educated about pros and cons of using such medicines.
Reactions:
What is known from the first investigation of authorities that teachers have given three doses of medicines to students instead of one and this lead to overdose of medicines and causing various side effects and other illnesses. One thing the government has done admirable is to introduce these medicines in schools which are nearer to town, in which the hospital is the only ISO certified hospital in the state. Ambulance rushed students to hospital within no time, and the essential treatment available for them and diagnose by many doctors out there and within minutes the side effects are controlled. Here, the question is about implementation procedures which can be best in the circumstances when this program should have been implemented prior to very satisfactory preparation and managing pros and cons of any project in earnest investigation.
In another instance, there is one scheme in which it is declared that the town roads are to be converted into model roads at par with cities and for this such and such amount is sanctioned from higher authorities. Paper advertisements are circulated to vernacular dailies as well as local cable channels airing appeals to people to kindly cooperate with them. This all goes to prove that something concrete is going to be done and we all are ready for it and dreams are there for talented high class roads in the making near to our vicinity. During one month, concretes, and other essential elements to prepare roads have been brought with trucks and tractors, and yet disastrous roads in and around areas are now becoming narrower day by day. Months passed, the same materials are scattered there, now dogs and puppies are climbing on these as for them it seems to be the cleanest place. Already narrow streets roads are now becoming a road just like a tiny patch inside farm lands.
Road politics:
There is no sign of new roads. On the other hand owing to all these derbies the road is slowly getting into narrower one than ever before. Responsibility lies to which authorities, road building ambition is not there, then why such fallacy of incidents of creating and designing a wholesome ambition inside minds of people, which are not a reclusion considering the state of affairs in which administrative authorities are following. There are slogans of building infrastructure and other forms of construction to existing and ease the moments of citizens and it is also true that with the development of infrastructure related development and with it comes the renewed form of industrial progress that ensures employment opportunities. With faster development, more and more vehicles will run amidst those roads and they will need water and lunch and other essential things and for this there will be many more shops, and in between if any hotel gives good food in honest manner, then it becomes popular.
Slowly, it employs many persons and in this manner the employment opportunity grows, and when real-estate agents realized that these localities are now more important than others, which might not have been in the recent past, they will buy and sell lands there, more and more people will buy those lands and civilization will built up there within no time. Within a short span of time, there would be more and more markets and shops and if the demand is high then shopping malls will reach there within no time and big shops and shopping malls will be standing up there and that will generate huge employment. All these depend upon the state of roads and availabilities of basic amenities and other forms of meeting citizen’s wants. Welfare government should think of totality and here they should work for the overall development of all aspects of life and how to meet people’s demand should be the motto for them. If people will find their life is as easy as they cannot think of it then they will praise the government, and in this circumstances there will not be any such gifts to the people to buy their votes or other forms of amenities as people will so motto comes to voting booth to support their welfare government in their fullest capacities.
The cable news era:
In the advent of private news channels through cables in the first part of 1990s, there are huge surge of news channels all around and they seems to be creating news in order to improve their TRPs and with an increased TRPs, advertisers will come to their channels in large numbers to get a complete new trend of revenue generation. It is all about to give the news faster and for this they rely heavily on sources instead of getting authentic news. The benefit from sources is multi prolonged as they will say that this news is not genuine, if it is found untrue in reality on the other hand they will see it the truth if it eventually becomes the authentic news. All these are characteristics of yellow journalism which we have read in social studies while at school as this are like to be toppling the elementary concept where the news should be in the line of truth and nothing else.
There are some instances where some news channels are now showing sponsored programs of particular political party which is unwanted and unnecessary. It can be questioned when political parties are showing advertisements of their achievements as these can be questioned but still these can be accepted considering the minimalists time in which they are showing the program, on the other hand now some channels are showing almost half an hour sponsored program as it is not necessary.
Now, in most cities, consumers have to pay for channels, if they are with satellite televisions or with cable television through boxes, and these customers want to see the program that should be neutral and not custom made or sponsored programs. Here, some one can say that there are channels which show exclusive sponsored programs and what should be done to these channels, these channels are home shop marketing channels and people can buy jewelry and other ornaments from there through are paid or post money paid basis. But the sponsored programs telecast by parties, on news channels for more than 25 minutes does not justify it as these can be avoided by news channels. People will definitely look beyond this and want to find out, what are genuine programs which the news channels are broadcasting from the studio.
Future of democracy:
In every electoral systems, there are many more facts and related attributes which are controlling the basic shape of the future of its development as the mature political system. In order to become a mature and vibrant political system, the entire spectrum of people as well as civil society should lean towards making the democracy vibrant and illustrative, some where we find some part of civil society is against the basic tenets of democracy as they are supporting the destructive part of democracy in large numbers. Many a time, when there are agitations in and around capital lead by eminent civil society members, they are more shouting against parliamentary form of democracy and against current politicians instead they are forgetting on the subjects they are shooting for.
Soon, the entire mass will shout against deliberative form of democracy and they soon forget about on what motto they are united with. This is one sort of the bad side of these agitations in which they are trying to find a single trait in which they can criticize the government in a huge manner. In this manner part of media channels as well as civil society is moving towards the path of other side of democracy which is not only deviating the theme of agitation on a theme to protect certain kind of masses on the other hand, the proper motive behind agitation of creating a pressure group situation is slowly beginning to slip and the main motive of welfare of masses is not being utilized properly in this form of pressure groups.
