Beware Corrupt Bureaucrats

    In the country it’s often seen that schemes started by Government for the benefit of citizen not reached its target fully and on the way more then three fourth money evaporated and residue money not enough to fulfill its purpose, thus leave average people robbed by his own, of whom he even not dare to complaint or object. India is ranked 84 in the list of Transparency International’s “Corruption Perception’s Index 2009”,below is list of fifteen countries whose rankings are first five, eighty four and last five in the list of 180 countries, top the rankings mean less corruption in the country -

    Even Late Prime Minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi had said that money spend by Government on social work often not reached its target and out of Rupees 1 only fifteen paisey reached to the public. To check corrupt bureaucrats, Government of India is considering to constitute special team officers, and these officers could be recruited next year, their main responsibilities would be to have eye on to the schemes started by government for society and they will make sure that these schemes reached at grass root levels. If everything will goes as per plan, then after getting green signal from planning commission, then three hundred officers will appoints as Independent Evaluation Officers (I.E.O.), and to recruit new cadre, bill will be present in the parliament, after the bill cleared by both the houses then in the next year, Union Public Services Commission (UPSC) will host, all India level examination, and these officers will be in Group A service of the country. Right now Government has started its most favourite plan National Rural Employment Guarantee (NREGA), now named after father of nation Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) but the reports reaching to the government relating to the plan are not encouraging and its not reaching to the poor people of the country, for whom this scheme have started. That is why Central Government is enthusiastic to recruit these new cadre which will look not only effectively into the government plan across country to reach its beneficiaries but also stop misuse of funds, at the same time there is opposition on to the recruitment of new cadre, they have opinion that already government has surplus of officers, so there is no need to go for fresh recruitment, instead government can use surplus officers for this purpose, and after scrutinizing honest officers can take responsibilities of this task. Government’s main focus is on development programme as U.P.A. comes into power for second time because of development agenda that is the reason government is going to spend 1.37 trillion rupees in the year 2010-11 which is 37 percent of budget. That is why Government trying to covers all the holes which it thinks can become reason of drainage of funds.
