Dr. Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister of India
New Delhi
Esteemed Dr. Singh,
Greetings for the New Year 2012 for your kind self, the first family and officers & staffs of PMO. I feel our Prime Minister must be seriously thinking about top five issues to be dealt with on priority in 2012. Finance Minister, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee recently conceded that “need creative solution” to appropriately deal with current economic situation and challenges. There can’t be two opinions about that; however, we may need an entirely different “political discourse” and willingness to unlock value, cut unproductive expenses and to invest in the areas which will return a handsome dividend with multiplier effect on the economy in short to medium term and beyond.
Unlock Value: (a) Urgent need to add a tinge of entrepreneurship into Public Sector to do justice for the public investment. One way is by appointing Co-Chairperson in PS board of directors from suitable and competent panel private sector CEO without any conflict of interest with a mandate to add value.
(b) House wives and unemployed men in urban areas could be trained in manufacturing job skills in arrangement with private sector (CII & FICCI) and offered part time jobs of 2-4 hrs a day for suitable products to cut manufacturing cost and add value while better prepared for competition with China.
2. To Cut Unproductive Expenses: Out sourcing the management, maintenance and development of top 50 cities to private sector with a suitable business model on a transparent bidding process. Private sector could bring best of management and technology with abundant capital to cut cost with better service while expected to generate profits (surplus). This is some thing GoI & State Govt. could collaborate on.
3. Investment: GoI, State Govt. could launch a Village Cluster Economic Development Scheme under DRDA in all 500 districts with 5 clusters each and each cluster in turn having 10-15 villages with an outlay of Rs. 2500 crores. The main objective of program should be to grow the Gross Cluster Domestic Product at substantially faster rate with Integrated Economic Management by dedicated and professionally qualified team in collaboration with cluster residents.
