The transparent and accountable administration.. One Day Governance.. Swarnimsiddhi-31.

It has been a common prevailing belief that to get any sort of human resource related work, in the Govt. sector is a mammoth task. It has been a familiar practice that it takes months and sometimes years, to acquire simple documentations.
But,
The Gujarat Govt. decided to break this barrier.
Previously, elongated time, that was taken for completing such jobs, has been cut short to a large extent by modernizing the Governance Services by being techno savvy. The computerization of service has proved to be a boon and resulted in higher potential to offer. It can also decrease the expense of tele-communication and increased the transparency and accountability of Governance.
One sector that has been hugely advantageous due to this technological up-date, has been- Public Complaint dept. Formal procedure of launching carp, against Government service and department, used to be tedious and based on paper applications explaining the problem. This led to prolonged period being passed, without the citizens obtaining any justifiable services.
And,
This mismanagement rooted the foundation of ‘One Day Governance’ Scheme. The purpose behind establishing this mission, was convenience to citizens and saving time, money and energy of the common man.
For issuing Ration Card, Income Tax Returns, different licences, various documentation the process was unnecessarily time consuming and wearisome. The Gujarat Govt. initiated this service straight to the people living at the remotest corner of the state, from Taluka head quarters.
The institute known as ‘Nagrik Sewa Kendra’ was set up in Vadodara on Ist April 2003 and the execution of this institute began on the Gujarat Day on 1st May 2003.All together 29 days were taken for implementation of this scheme.
The entire procedure was conducted step wise.
In the first phase, the district collectors office was modernized with hi-tech equipments. This upgrading included Computerization, local area network, Gujarat State Wide Area Network [GSWAN] and e-mail facility. The staff was trained accordingly.
Special seminars and workshops were organized to educate the staff in Psychosomatic, Spiritual and Tele-Communication.
Vadodara model became the prime example and such institutes were set-up in every part of the state, thus accomplishing the ‘One Day Governance’ state wide.
To facilitate the citizens about the various services available, in Ahmedabad Jansewa Kendra, the Information Kiyoska was established. The citizen facility center provided Online service.
The citizens of Gujarat welcomed this initiative with open arms.
The ODG scheme has reduced the corruption in human resource services to a large extent, as there is hardly any face-to-face communication between the officer and the person seeking service. The entire procedure was authorized, thus the verbal false promises regarding the period to conclude the application, could not be raised, unnecessarily.
The procedure simplified, led to boost in payment of Tax.
The On-line facility and control encouraged the local municipal boards services such as Water supply, Tax collection, Road Lights preservation and Sewage Maintenance to get privatized.
This On-line facilities provided Paper-less administration saving valuable time, energy and money.
And,
Prevented the creation of scenario similar that was seen in tele-serial Office Office.
The following table projects the huge difference, this ODG scheme, the brain child of Hon. C.M. sdHRI Narendra Modi, who is ever constantly occupied in providing time and value based administration to the citizens of the state of Gujarat.

Gujarat creats novel dimension in Sports Culture.. Khel Maha Kumbh.. Swarnimsiddhi-30

The extreme western state of India, named Gujarat, is a region represent ting mainly business and trading class. Where the population, has been primarily engaged in small or larger scale industries apart from agriculture, as occupation.
And,
For time perpetual, the Gujaratis belonging to this land, carried an image that tainted their otherwise progressive illustration. They may have achieved excellence in every field like industrial, educational or agricultural sphere, but they lacked their dominance in Sports.
Sports had never been the forte of Gujarat and Gujaratis and hardly any noteworthy accomplishment were registered on the name of people hailing from this state...
But,
Not any longer..
Now,
The visionary C.M. of the state has taken it up as a challenge to take sports and games to every door of the state, weather that of rich or poor.
To accomplish this task, The Khel Maha Kumbh has been organized in Ahmedabad. On the event of Swarnim Gujarat, this is a exceptional fete, that Gujarat has achieved. Inaugurated by Hon. C.M. Shri Narendra Modi, on 20th November 2010, at Police Stadium of Ahmedabad. The flame, especially created from ‘Panch dhatu’ for this event., The world champion of Chess, Shri Vishwanath Anand, received the flame from the hands of Shri Modiji and commenced the event. The flame was passed on to Lajja Goswami, the winner of medal at recently concluded Common wealth games. Lajja hails from Gujarat. She led the Team Gujarat in the procession which would visit all 26 districts, 7 metro cities in 33 jeeps and 1087 motor bikes. The event was a spectacular show of culture and traditional dances. Those among the celebrities who marked their presence, were Anshul Kothari [Swimming], Arjun Award winner in Badminton- Parul Parmar, international Kabbadi player Tushar Arothe, Ami Ghia [Badminton], Ex. Olympian of Hockey Ajitsinh Pal, Ex. wicketkeeper of Indian Cricket Team and ex. Chairman of selection board of Cricket Shri Kiran More, Tejas Wakare and Aparna Popat.
The objective of organizing Khel Maha Kumbh, is to promote the hidden strength and capacity to excel in various sports among the poorest of poor. Those who are not so fortunate to receive the ultra hi-tech facilities to advance their potentials in obtaining superiority, can be presented with a platform to tap their sprouting ability.
Sports projects sportsman spirit, tolerance and respect for the competitor.
Sports is also the representative of physical fitness and ‘never say die attitude’.
Thus,
As a result of Khel Maha Kumbh, India will receive the next generation of Physically fit and mentally courageous Gujaratis, contributing their valuable skill to Brighter India.
Vande Gujarat..
Vande Mataram..

The Robber Raja and his collegues..

The BREAKING NEWS of every hour, on every news channel is same, same and same...
It is Raja, Raja, Raja...
Baja Raha hai baja, baja, baja..
Of Indian Economy,
Of Indian Tax-payers valuable and hard earned penny,
Of Govt. in the center
and,
Hon. P.M.’s so called ‘White than the Whiter’ image...
But,
The question that has arisen in each one’s mind..
Is regarding the accountability and tranceparancy in the conduct of PMO..
And,
As the head of the chair, in the demeanor of Shri Manmohan Singh.
The Hon. P.M. who has turned to be the prisoner of Coalition Govt. and the one who neither has the control over the deportment by his ministers , nor the audacity to begin the enquiry over the stained minister’s of his Govt. till the water crossed his head. It is rather shocking, not only surprising to note that the Hon. P.M. kept his mouth shut for a period as long as 11 months, in answering to petition filed by Shri Subramaniam Swami, seeking permission to prosecute Raja? Even the Hon. Supreme Court has solicited a question regarding mum by the Hon. P.M. when he could have taken action within 3 months as well as not allowed the permission.
But,
Instead he preferred keeping a alleged silence for 16 months, without considering any steps!!!
Now,
when the print media ‘PIONEER’ has revealed the scam..
When the opposition demands strongly for instituting JPC..
And,
The scam after scam, by the UPA-2’s ministers have tainted the ‘White’ Sherwani of the Hon. P.M. with Black spots, hardly leaving any so called ‘Whiteness’ to be spotted...
The Hon. P.M. has caught hold of bit of guts to at least ask for a resignation of Raja.
What should never have taken place, has already cost the Indian Economy by stipulated sum of Rs. 1.76 Lakh Crores!!!
The robber Raja, should have been long time back been impeached. In reality, the witness is as much to be blamed for allowing the robbery to happen, [Robbery of people’s money] as much as the robber himself.
And,
Our Hon. P.M. has conducted the role of witness with full force...
The question here is..
Is it only the existence of coalition pressure [which may be there, but it is crystal clear that DMK needs Congress support as much as Congress requires it to remain in power..
And,
even if DMK withdraws support, so what?
To lose the power due to withdrawal by corrupt coalition would have been any day preferred by the citizen of this country than tolerating such nuisance.]
But,
Can we forget that every cabinet minister has a MoS..
And,
In Telecom Ministery, Shri Jyotiraditya Scindhia, the MoS..
Is it possible that a MoS, is not aware of such colossal happenings that is taking place within his ministery?
That says a lot about the silence preserved by Shri Singh...
Whom to blame?
Just the already tainted Karunanidhi and his party men or the clear bystander, Congress men?

Vidyalakshmi Yojna..Kanya Kelvani hi Guru Mantra.. Swarnimsiddhi-29

A daughter is considered as Ma Lakshmi..
When a daughter is born into the household, the atmosphere of tranquility appears around.
But,
In the patriarchal society, the daughter is considered of lesser importance than the son, who is believed to be taking ahead the family name, as heir. The daughter leaves her paternal home and becomes part and parcel of the household she marries into.
Unfortunately,
The distinction between the daughter’s upbringing and that of son’s is drastically poles apart..Especially in the tradition bound society. The daughter is deemed as a burden.
And,
Imparting equal educational facilities, that would aid her in becoming financially independent and socially strong, is negated.
But,
In the changing scenario of current socio-economic configure, the disparity in the gender discrimination is decreasing day by day... Hence, the immediate need for education in the women has increased hundred folds.
Gujarat Govt. has taken up this call, for educating the daughters, on the priority base. The drop out ratio among the females is on much higher scale as the expense of education is not affordable. To overcome this deficiency, the Govt. of Gujarat has announced Vidyalakshmi Yojna, in the rural areas where the female education rate is less than 35%.
The prime motive behind this scheme is to ensure consistency in the ratio of girls seeking admission in the primary level and to make certain, that the education is completed. Under this scheme, the female child seeking admission, in std.1 is presented with a Narmada Bond of Rs. 1000, which becomes mature, when the child completes 7 years of primary education. At the end of seventh year, the amount of Rs. 2200 is received by the parents of girl child.
The Gujarat Govt. started this unique scheme five years back. Initially, the fund was collected from the donors and the expense was limited.
But,
Since last two years, the Gujarat Govt. bears the entire expense.
As a result, at certain places 100% registration of female child has taken place. It has also ensured maintaining the 100% ratio. This scheme has also benefitted urban population living below poverty line. In last 5 years, 6,99,000 daughters have been benefitted.
The welfare of daughters is very close to Hon. C.M. Shri Narendra Modi’s heart and he has made sure, the daughters receive the best possible opportunities..
Vande Gujarat..
Vande Matram.

The jealous soul can go to any extent.. The Rahul-Chidambaram story.

Yesterday, on Labh Panchmi day, an organization that has dedicatedly served for the upkeep of Indian culture and traditions for last 85 years, had to conduct a ‘dharna’ against the continues counterfeit accusation of being involved in terror activities.
RSS or Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was pioneered by Late Dr. Shri Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, in 1925, at Nagpur. Since then, this organization, which revere the Saffron flag as their guru, has swayamsevaks dedicating their lives to work for the uplift meant of the society. Be it calamities like cyclone or eclipse, flood or dam being wrecked... Irrespective of the nature of catastrophe, the team of Swayamsevaks have always been first to reach the mishap stuck place, wherever in the country, it may be.
And,
They commit themselves ceaselessly in the jobs like picking up dead bodies and doing funeral for them to starting ‘Anna kshetra’ for the grief stuck as well as creating shelters for them.
Weather it was Macchu Dam disaster at Morbi or Cyclone in Andhra Pradesh, Eclipse at Latur or Kutch, Kosi flood in Bihar or Sunami in Southern India, these dedicated Swayamsevaks, without differentiating between religion, caste or creed of the souls they are aiding nor with any expectation of remuneration, engage themselves in service of human kind. Sangh believes in Hindu way of life. Now, this term has been twisted by its opponants, according to their wish. Sangh believes that all those who live on the soil, where Hindu religion was born and nurtured and where majority of people belong to this religious belief, every person residing here is a Hindu, irrespective of the religion he follows, as the tradition and culture of the society, at large is similar. The cultural conviction is based on the surrounding atmosphere and occupation. Thus according to Sangh, every person living in Hindusthan is a Hindu. Sangh, also teaches physical strength and mental adjustments. Thus, a swayamsevak leaves his home as Pracharak to serve the society. He lives in the Sangh Karyalay and eats at different swayamsevak’s families, in whichever area he has been instructed to work. He learns their language, adjusts to their eating and living habits and works to strengthen the ‘sangathan’ [organization], sharing the localities sorrows and happiness, generating the feelings of ‘Vasudev Kutumbkam’.
But,
The so called secularists have, from time immortal been envious of the reputation that swayamsevaks’s devoted work has created in people’s heart. Thus, they accuse Sangh in every unnatural calamity that takes place in our country. Sangh was blamed for Mahatma Gandhi’s killing and the RSS ‘Sarkaryavah’ [the supermost ranking Sangh’s working hierarchy’ Late Shri Guru Golvalkar, was jailed for almost 8 months.
But,
He was found innocent.
And,
Now,
Shri Indresh Kumar in Ajmer Blast and Sadhvi Pragya Singh in Malegaon blast...
And,
Again, nothing has been proven and the Congress fed CBI is prolonging their case further.
While performing their duties during any of the calamities, the Swayamsevaks have always remain completely non-biased. Had there been venom against any minority community, do you think the swayamsevaks would have served them without differentiating in offering service?
But,
These devotion by Sangh has not been digested by the Congress men and it is history that they have opposed vehemently any good work done by RSS. During Indo- China war, in 1962, it was the RSS cadre, which were on their feet to provide any kind of non-military aids, which compelled Pandit Nehru to appreciate their efforts. The same scene was repeated in 1971 India-Pakistan battle. The then P.M. Smt. Gandhi, though at heart she was strong opponent of Sangh, paid tribute to Guru Golvalkarji, in parliament, on his demise in 1973.
But,
Both these P.M.’s though belonging to opposite party and beliefs, had Indian origins in their blood flow. Thus, somewhere down their heart, they were appreciative of the commitment that Sangh offers.
Now, Congress has gone back by 63 years and again is ruled by a White skin. It is irony that forefathers of these same Congressmen, who had dedicated their lives to free this country from the clutches of European rule, bow down to the wishes of an Italian lady. First Muslims, then Portuguese, then British and now Italian..
Wah! kya baat hai...
How is a White Skin concerned with betterment of us, Indians? Thus, her son Rahul has the audacity to compare RSS with SIMI, a terrorist’s group? The service done for all these years is presented with a tag of ‘Saffron terrorism’ by the Congress Home Minister, proves the latter’s envious vote bank mind.
Yesterday, first time in the last 48 years, the RSS combated against the constant attacks on their sincerity. It is rather pitiable situation, that an organization as devoted as Sangh, had to go to extent of sitting on a ‘Dharna’ [and it was completely peaceful and not a bit terrorizing, as the RSS is accused of] to shut the foul mouthed comments by Rahul and Company, who have no kinship with Indian culture and traditions.
Shame on such Govt. and shame on us for electing such mindless Govt...

The beginers of novel concept.. The Evening Courts.. Swarnimsiddhi-28.

Namaste..
On the auspicious occasion of Deepawali, heartfelt wishes that that the coming year is full of ‘Suvarnamaya Siddhi’..
‘Justice delayed is justice denied’ is a famous axiom..
Indian legal system has been victim of delay syndrome for ages. It is popular belief that the case that has been sub-judiced, will remain in court for years to come and the accused has a free hand for time unlimited.
And,
Especially, to conclude and produce verdict for small matters, the time taken is long and wasteful, resulting in losing of faith in the judiciary system.
Hon. C.M. of Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi’s vision with an idea of starting ‘Evening Courts’, to solve the pending burden proved to be a fresh beginning on the path of quick justice. In 2004, the plan suggested by Shri Modiji, came into existence and it was started in Ahmedabad and Vadodara, in the first phase. On November 2, 2006, the Gujarat Govt. announced ‘The rulebook of Evening Courts-2006’ and on 14th November 2006, Gujarat achieved the status of the first state to begin Evening Courts, in order to impart speedy justice...
The purpose behind formation of Evening Courts, is to communicate rapid justice, in the cases with charges of 3 or less years of jail along with monetary fine.
The evening courts has proven to be a boon for working class, as it saves a lot of their time and money. They need not attend court at the cost of their daily earnings. Moreover, the miniscule cases shifted to evening courts and they resulting in swift outcome, would enable the more important and cases with longer proceedings, with additional amount of time. Thus, the entire service would help in yielding fruits on both fronts.
Recently, Tamilnadu has followed the footstep of Gujarat and become the second state to start the Evening Courts..
In the first phase, Ahmedabad [rural] had 17 evening courts, 5 courts in the Metropolitan Magistrate Court and 5 courts in Rajkot were activated.
On the day of inauguration, Ahmedabad [rural] evening courts passed on 847 cases and in Rajkot 18 cases were given justice. The evening courts work from 6 p.m. to 8.15 p.m. The Gujarat Govt. provides 25% raise to advocates, judges and the court staff. In the beginning, the evening courts began with providing justice in non-major cases but eventually took up Criminal Cases too.
This working in double shift has majorly helped in removing the prevalent backlog of cases. At present, there are 78 such courts in action, around the state, which has aided in imparting justice to 1.64 lakh pending cases..
Vande Gujarat..
Vande Mataram...

Sadar Namaste, Shri Barrack Obama..

Namaste Shri Berrack Obama..
Suswagatam..
Bhale Padharya..[You must have heard of this term, Shri Obamaji.. as this is an expression of welcome by the community of Indian, who form the huge quantum of the population among the people, that you rule..
And,
Whose illustrious leader, from the soil they hail, has accomplished colossal progress of the state he rules, unlike the degradation of the economy that you and your ‘Team Democrates’ have been unable to restrain. Instead, he has contributed gigantic sum to amplify the GDP of the nation.
Yet,
You have caressed the grudge against the super personality and denied him a welcome..{but, does he care?}
Regrets, but No..
On the contarary,
The name Barrack Obama, who had created history of popularity, while being crowned as the first Black president of the United States and who had gifted in plenty, the promises to do wonders in uplifting the drowning economy of the country, which had ruled the globe for the entire twentieth century, attracting Wealth and Intellegence, from each part of the world..Had to face the failure and letdown, in currently concluded mid-term polls in United States.
The democrats have been rejected and dejected by the voters of the US, for a simple reason of not being able to create economic prosperity among people, that they have cherished for more than century. The real trouble lies in the Plastic Card dependency of the Americans, that they adopted during good times. The American has been addicted to Loan Economy and the main task that had to be undertaken by Mr. Obama, should have been modifying this borrowing inclination.
But,
His failure, in judging the root cause of the wound, has cost him and his party dearly. No doubt, Mr. Obama, tried creating more job opportunities for jobless Americans by discontinuing the Outsourcing that was done, in India and China by American Companies, as the labor from these countries used to turn out to be comparatively pretty cheap.
But,
To no avail.
Day by day, the people are losing faith from the mesmerizing personality, the Prez. The opposition, the Republicans had favored Outsourcing into India and China..
Thus, creating a favorable and welcoming situation for Indians, providing more opportunities for job and cheaper man power for the American companies and industrialists. The average American of today, has turned into lazy and zeal less and is occupied in gratification. Thus, the Hon. Prez. tried hitting directly at the laid back attitude perceived by the Americans, over the years.
Where as, the people of India and China, engage enthusiastically in development process, putting in boundless hard work. In the twentieth century, the American producers engaged in mammoth productions and exported to countries around the world and the American economy ruled the earth.
But,
with passing time, the producers found the Indian and Chinese labor cheaper as well as more efficient and the era of Outsourcing began, costing ample of job opportunities to local American. When Mr. Obama, came into power, he tried desperately to revive the economy and create more job opportunities for Americans. For which, he decided to bend the Outsourcing, which as a ruler of the sick economy, is his bountiful duty.
But,
The people rejected his efforts to revive the economy, through Ballot Box.
Now,
the same rejected-dejected Mr. B. Obama is on his way to woo Indian Govt. On his first official visit to India, the Prez. is accompanied by 250 American industrialists and their mission is ‘Market India’..
The Mr. Prez. wishes to be provided with Open Markets on Indian soil, for US producers and he also dreams of selling 125 American Fighter Planes, worth Rs. 50,000 crores to Indian Govt. [These are just a few glimpses from his wish list and the more will only be displayed, once ‘Abara ka Dabra’ opens up..]
The Indian Govt. has to take a close call.
Today,
The Asian countries have reached at certain stage in the financial world around the globe, due to their sheer hardwork and knowledge. The nineteenth century belonged to Europe and the twentieth century was ruled by Americans, the twenty first century has come to be dominated by the Asian countries. [In today, concluded survey by Forbes magazine, has revealed that Mr. Obama’s popularity chart has decreased considerably and the no. 1 position has been snatched by the Chinese Prez. Hu Jintao.]
Thus, on the eve of the Amrican Prez.’s visit, every Indian, including the Indian Govt. have a wow to take..
That is neither be awe-struck nor be mesmerized by the US Prez..as India, with ever-growing progress, is on the brink of bargaining the best deal from the US. The US needs India, to be in the friendlist as much as we wish have US as our friend. There is no question of any one-up man ship to be deployed on to India.
Infact,
The Indian people have a question to ask, Mr. Prez.
It is regarding the integrity of the American Prez. who has in words, proclaimed to be India’s friend,
but,
in action, have been hesitant to sternly call spade a spade and supported India’s foe, in their evident wrong-doings.
Are you worth us, Mr. Prez?
The ever-so secular, always believing in giving the enemy also, a benefit of doubt and yet highly intelligent and talented, we Indians refuse to be taken for a ride, by anyone.
Unless, you are a true friend..
Or else, you are just another guest, that we have..[Of course, we the believer of Atithi Devo Bhav, will definitely give you a Golden welcome,
but,
That’s about it..
Think about it, Mr. Prez..
