Dialogue Frame Work

Bikash Choudhury



The founding father of our constitution designed our democratic system and public institution to reflect the will of the people in day-to-day administration of the country. However, due to substantial growth of population and ever growing scope of administration has made the process of framing public policy and its execution increasingly complex;therefore, in spite of best intention some time political & bureaucratic leadership fail to respond to the need of tax payers appropriately and adequately. A frame work of continuing dialogue can be established to bridge the information gap between top policy makers and ground realities at State & District level. If the top leadership in Govt, Opposition, NGO, Media and even Private sector meet once in a month at State Capital & identically, in district head quarter and take stock of situation,issues and events then we can have better information driven public policies and their execution. Currently, generally administration takes lot of time to identify problems and more time in framing suitable policies to address the issue and still much longer to implement policies and unfortunately if the policies were turn out to be defective; it takes long long time to revise and rectify. Therefore, a continuing dialogue frame work would be helpful to frame right policies and their execution in their first attempt. However, Govt, should approach this subject in open mind in the larger interest of the State and its people.
