LETTER TO A COLUMNIST


Dear Anjuli Bhargava,

Read your article “hold them accountable” with interest; actually all reports on Aviation Industry was getting dull and duller just like the Industry itself. I have noted down the excellent experiment with the health system in Tamilnadu which is offering efficient healthcare in 220 Govt. hospitals. A good news and hope more such projects would follow in other parts of the country.
 
I have a counter argument: Knowing the size of Govt. in the country (approximately 1.5 crore employees) how many systems/ how big systems would be required at what cost to make all Govt. transaction productive. What we would actually require is a “shift of mindset from colonial to freedom” not only in Govt. but in other areas also. As you would know; the relative productivity of private sector vis-à-vis public sector and Govt. is precisely due to the prevailing mindset in the two sectors. We will need just a “bold leadership” which is hard to come by; keeping in view the current political situation. Opinion makers like you should think about it.

 Regards,

Bikash Choudhury
