State Governments - Whats not working
Dear Friends:
Based on your inputs on What's not working in State Governments, below is a summary of the key points.
Kindly review and if you have anything additional, please add it as a comment to the post.
We will soon be compiling this and sharing with PMO, Central and State Government leaders so they understand the public view.
One thing that is clear with all the recent election mandates is that status quo, lack of engagement with citizens is not acceptable and progress is the only option.
I look forward to any additional inputs!

It is high time that Government of India is so aware and trying to clean India. But I hope equal attention should be paid to the recycling system or else where will you keep the garbage? Thanks.Regards Dr. BhattacharyaDLIS,University of Calcutta On Saturday, 14 February 2015 10:32 AM, Rajendra Pratap Gupta wrote: more

Central & State Governments should plan for development of Holy Places. Famous annual festival in KHATU from 24 Feb to 2 March attracts 30 Lac+ people. Holy places across India desperately need development especially Roads, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Education, Tourism, Hospitality etc. I hope the Central & State Governments allocate some money for development of religious places like KhatuShyamJi. In Northern India (Khatu Gram, Sikar District, Rajasthan), one of the famous annual festivals held every year is 'Shri Khatu Shyam Falguni Satrangi Mela 2015'. It will be celebrated from 24 February to 2 March 2015. More than 30 Lacs visitors are expected.

The Subject covered by Mr. Dayananda Kamath is in-deed the Subject and Quality that to be Shouldered by a Politician. The Candidature to be opted by the Election Commission is simply enlightened in his heart-full spread. Social Nature , Civic Sense , Moral Conduct only are the simple bare minimum qualities to be a Political Leader. Let us hope such in all of us representing the people of our Society. more

Can Delhi Police start an Online System for lodging FIRs ? Delhi Police allows to file online police report of article and document lost (http://www.delhipolice.nic.in/register.html). Can Delhi Police have an online system to file FIR for other issues also ? All developed nations support this feature. It is very helpful because the complainant gets the time and peace of mind (no harassment faced because no police stations involved) while submitting the online complaint. Such online FIRs lodged can be further followed upon by a dedicated team of police professionals by calling the complainant or reaching at his/her address. This will actually stop the Bribe Problem in Police Stations. It will also save complainant from facing any harassment at the hands of Police while lodging FIR in Police Stations. Extra cost incurred would be, - Cost of implementing such an online system. - Having a dedicated team of Delhi Police Professionals to review Online FIRs and then Call/Meet & get more info from the complainant. - Having a Grievance Team for looking into complaints against this above said dedicated team (for reviewing online FIRs). In India, the biggest problem is that people do not report because, - Afraid of Police Stations. - Prestige in society and neighborhood. - No hope that something will change and others may benefit. I remember that speech of Modi Ji where he said that there should be a unique website for every police station, a website dedicated to the listing of martyrs so that their names are not lost in history. But what about those who are suffering today ? Will this step of giving an online portal to citizens for making Online FIRs, not solve the basic problem of corruption in Police ? Most of the developed nations provide online filing of FIRs for speedy action by Police. This also saves the effort cost of a Police representative noting down all the details from the complainant. Overall, this might also save some money/effort for the Delhi Police. Because the work for the Police Station officers who write the FIRs will be reduced considerably. This could increase Crime Reporting to a significant extent. With the increased use of internet, this option of online filing (and also mobile apps) of FIRs will go a long way. Metros will see maximum such online FIRs being reported. more
