[1]               INTRODUCTION:

 It is indeed very shameful, criminal on the part of most of the elected representatives (ER) and some of the civil servants (CS), who otherwise are repeatedly talked about, repeidly, regarding mitigation of corruption, unearthing black money is nothing but deliberately cheating the public openly, bluntly, for their gains by them during elections, for being in public circulation, also largely for individual self gain, their family self-aggrandizement only, as they themselves are not fully accountable and transparent to common public who elected them to serve them as their representative, so cannot be consider almost all ER/ CS as straightforward, honest, non corrupt and are really service-oriented, which was the perception of most of the common people and most of educate people who are having intellect, wisdom. Since most of the ER & CS who otherwise accumulated, accumulating wealth, leading luxurious life by themselves & their family members, certainly openly, most of them are showing undervalued assets, concealing their ill gotten wealth in the beanami names with the knowledge of the relatives/ close aides; it is in open truth that the Most of the ER & CS individual and their family members life styles & quantity of assets they were possessing has no match/correlation to the official earnings and real value of the assets, with limited salary, none of ER / CS without corruption can earn such a huge assets in limited time.

It is fact that for every one rupee earned in corrupt way by ER/CS, the government exchequer loses more than 100 rupees, which means just for the illegitimate self aggrandizement of most of ER & CS due their self centred selfishness, people of the country are suffering with poverty, acute lack of infrastructure facilities, lacks inclusive growth and quality living?.

Is it not appropriate, to fix the root cause of corruption and ensure the scope for corruption get marginalised, is the only best solution to contain corruption, rather than simply taking about mitigation of corruption?, since all the existing anti corruption mechanisms, are again under the direct / indirect control of the same ER & CS (it is open secret that the real meaning of so called autonomy is not true, even if it is true these institutions are run by same CS), after all these elite ER & CS are one and same when the matter of fixing the same fraternity people comes try to help by using the loop holes in the law, errors in investigation?, this perception of common people is getting substantiated by the fact that even when some of the media being extensively covering corruption cases, forcing the government of the act up on corrupt, but still it the majority of the elite corrupt who has done millions and billions of loss to government are roaming freely, but shockingly only those who got convection are small / petty corrupt persons, at most clerical level people whose corruption all put together may not be more than 5% of the total corruption in the country? Do ever media/ people know that how many big ER/CS caught in corrupt got convicted in the last two decades?, what is the approx amount lost in the corruption, what is the amount recovered from the corrupt?, where did all the money gone, do small time employees are able to loot the way big corrupt looted?

Also when the political party leaders, elected representatives are engaged in giving lectures about eradication of corruption, by admitting that only fraction of percentage of government expenditure is reaching the beneficiary? Then where did this money got missing, amounting to several lakhs of crores ? Is it get sublimated just like that? Or just the so called ER & CS who are in limited numbers are just a miniscule fraction of percentage of total population got eaten in the form of food, so the money lost is not traceable, not recoverable?, do how come after becoming CS or ER in few years they are building luxury houses, leading lavish life by their children, also their family members starting business with few thousands and lakhs of rupees of initial investment and within few years (4 to 10 years) their business turnovers are reaching several hundred/ thousands  of croes, growing in exponential rate with rocket speed? When lakhs of small entrepreneurs are becoming un employed or doing small jobs and also small farmers with small and marginal holdings who are sweating for providing food for 1.29 billion people are becoming agricultural labour leading a miserable life in pathetic conditions, suffering from hunger?, Does any magic wand come to the hands after becoming ER/CS? if yes, the same magic wand should be given to the poor to become rich like them? 

Is it not criminal on the part of most of the ER and most of the CS to give hope over billion people making them to live with hope till they die due to lack of amenities, live in poverty with anticipation that the ER and the government, CS will do some development really and make their lives meaningful as was promised by them during elections and are living in anticipation in last 66 years of independence, more specially after 1991 economic liberalisation?

Do media or so called anti corruption crusaders or NGO’s claiming working for betterment of people, preventing corruption, good governance etc, and also common people ever thought of what is the quantity of the accumulated wealth of the ER & CS and their family members? at least after 1991, the year of economic liberalisation, from then the growth of wealth of most of the ER & CS and political party office bearers and section people who are close to ER & CS wealth grown in exponential progression when conventional business grown in geometric progression, {1+1=2, 2+2=4, 4+4=8, 8+8=16 is geometric progression, where as 2x2=4, 4X4+16, 16X16=254 is exponential rate}, when the Dy Head of planning commission of India recently expressed very categorically  in one of the Television News show that “by today’s standards what all government policies during initial stages of economic liberalisation are corrupt”; so integrity and up rightness of all the sitting ER, Ex ER & current working CS and Retired CS after 1991 is questionable?

As such in order to prove the integrity of elected representatives and civil servants it is very need of the hour, ultra high time to make themselves (all ER & CS, JO) if they have real respect for democratic governance and the constitution of INDIA, by being accountable to common public by providing the details of their family tree, in addition showing transparency at present in their daily activities in the form of “daily dairy”, revealing the time spent each day from the time the ER/ CS got up from bed in the morning to going to bed in the late evening, all the people who visited them, the purpose of the meeting, the phone calls made, received from various people, the letters issued, received, the details of family tree, the details the of assets possessed in the name of ER/CS and their immediate family members, date of possession, the financial position at the time of possession of assets, the source of income, (who are other investors, what is the relation between the investor and the individual, do the investors got any government work in the territory of the ER/CS) the growth of assets, the growth formula of assets, the luxury items wearing/possessing by the ER/CS etc, from 1991 onwards, with re assessment of value of the assets possessed by the ER& CS at the market rate when they possessed the assets to prove the uprightness of the ER&CS. let the common people in the territory, the NGO’s who are fighting against corruption, bringing change, should act as vigilant-arians in unearthing the discrepancies of assets of ER&CS; all excess wealth should be confiscated by government, the ER and their immediate family members should be barred from contesting elections for life time, the CS should be dismissed from service and their immediate family members should be barred from holding any government jobs/ ER positions for the life time for deceiving, cheating millions of people for decades, being cause of misery of common people.

It is a universal principle of accountancy, that A class Items are very less in volume, but more in value, like wise B class items are moderate in volume, also moderate in value, where as C class items are more in volume and less in value; the same analogy applies to elected representatives and civil servants.

The A class elected representatives are less in number, more in power (territorial jurisdiction), they can be considered as Member of Parliament, where as B class Elected Representatives are moderate in number and moderate in power, they can be considered as MLA/MLC, where as C class Elected representatives are more in number, less in power, they are Local body elected representatives, Similarly in civil servants All Group A and above are considered as A class, as they are limited in number in the civil services hierarchy, who have more powers vested in them (even discretions, jurisdiction); whereas Group B officers are moderate in number with moderate powers vested in them, can be considered as B class, Where as all Group C Civil servants are more in volume, less in power, they can be considered as C class.

The rate of corruption, the volume of corruption depends up on the jurisdiction the individual having control over, also the power/ discretion the individual’s position providing/possessing, with this it is very clear that the corruption done/ loss to the government exchequer is maximum in value on account of corruption done by A class Elected Representatives and A class Civil servants, similarly the B class elected representatives and B class civil servants corruption is  moderate (however some of them may do more corruption than the A class, but the cases are less), similarly the C class elected Representatives and C class Civil servants corruption even though appearing  more but the value of the corruption in the total corruption / loss to the exchequer of government is very less (less than 5% of the total value of corruption// loss to government).

     If we look at the business accountancy in an establishment the total 100% volume of all assets =100% value of all assets, then in that A class Items are 5% in volume with 75 % of total value, where as B class Items are 15% in volume with 20% of total value, where as the C class Items account for 80% in volume with just 5% of the total value; the same will apply to corruption by the elected representatives and civil servants. The A class Elected representatives & A class Civil servants they number very less (less than 5% of the total elected representatives and civil servants), but value of corruption is more than 80% of the total corruption happened/ happening in the country; similarly the B class ER&CS are less than 15% of volume, but the value of corruption is more than 15% of the total corruption, where as the C class ER&CS account for 5% in volume where as the value of corruption done/ loss to exchequer due to C class is less than 5%, which means it is very clear that by controlling the corruption of A class and B class, the country can reduce the happening of over 95% corruption/ loss to the government; as such in the first instance making the accountability and transparency of A class & B class elected representatives (MP & MLA) and A class & B class civil servants (Group A and Above & Group B) to common people will yield the desired results.

     This means there is acute need for unearthing of corruption done till date what has happened/ occurred & also bring systems in such a manner that by default the scope to doing corruption can be minimised to a great extent in future, and the corrupt got exposed automatically without scope to get hide using loop holes in investigation & law, by ensuring under compulsion the A class and B class elected representatives & civil servants in the first instance and later the C class elected representatives and civil servants (in addition the Ex ER, Ex CS of A & B class in the second phase) be accountable to common public, after all ER/CS are meant for serving the public and public are masters where as ER/CS are taken up the job of serving the people so should be answerable to people when the systems of governance (so called anti corruption mechanisms and checks and balances within the organisations in government) in the last 66 years did not yield the results to a fraction of what they supposed to deliver, predominantly because these anti corruption mechanism systems are under the control of ER/CS directly/indirectly; so accountability (answerable) to common public is the only way that corruption can be marginalised/mitigated (of course let the anti corruptions institutions, judiciary take its course, but common people will act as vigelintarians and create the sufficient evidence to bring the culprits to justice, compelling the government to act without any bias, favouritism to the elite ER/CS?),  development and inclusive growth can be achieved by ensuring drastically reducing the leakages in the government spending whether for welfare or infrastructure sector.. without which all tall/ loud talking about the mitigation of corruption is trash, nothing but deliberate cheating of millions of people, especially youth, more specifically downtrodden sections belonging to Dalit, Adivasis, OBC, EBC and Minorities, for the self centred selfishness and self aggrandizement of the so called ER & CS of A class & B class, by giving false hopes to millions of people especially youth regarding mitigation of corruption, to get mandate for the ER during elections for being in power and they themselves indulged and indulging / immersed in corruption to accumulate more wealth for their future generations? When the ER & CS are enjoying all amenities which are being paid from government revenues from the taxes paid by the common people though their hard earned money? (even daily wage earner paying tax on tooth paste, soap, match box etc?) all ER & CS should be answerable to common people.

     It is very necessary that in order to reduce the corruption by ensuring prevailing of the real meaning of democracy as laid in the preamble of INDIAN CONSTITUTION Prevail, which clearly states that “government of people, government by the people and government for the people”. In the simple language let the elected representatives, and civil servants be accountable and be transparent by revealing the details in full, (after all they are representing the people, serving the people?) to the common people and subjected to scrutiny to some extent by the common people, so that in case the common people find/ observe any deviation of principles of law, find fault declaration by the ER/CS, or in case found concealment of income/ assets by the ER/CS , also in case found excess assets of kin kith in the family tree of the ER/CS, which is a breach of trust common people kept on these ER/CS, then the common people will bring such people to justice by alerting the constitutional systems (government machineries like ACB, CID, CBI, ED, COURTS) takes its course, in a transparent manner. Without which simply banking on the anti corruption units will never yield the results because of the limited infrastructure, man power, also partly due to lack of fully dedicated honest up right committed officers in the anti corruption units (only few officers are fully dedicated/committed/honest, certainly not all), and also certainly there is some kind of control/ influence by the ER & CS in one or other manner whether pre or post registration of case. Also in the absence of special courts with fixed time frame to decide the cases against ER&CS without making the ER&CS accountable to common public directly in transparent manner, mitigation of corruption is a mirage. If the ER & CS are non-corrupt, has faith/ respect for INDIAN CONSTITUTION, then they should not have any hesitation to be accountable to the common public, let the anti corruption units of government do its duty simultaneously?.

     The process of brining accountability and transparency by making common people as vigilant-arians is the simplest way of ensuring accountability and transparency in the governance and administration, by bringing simple changes in the existing systems, making every elected representative and every civil servants adhere to standard, uniform accountability & transparency norms, through default settings in the systems, exhibiting their integrity and service oriented-ness, by making themselves accountable to the common public, in a very transparent manner. This process will not only prevent occurrence of corruption to a maximum extent, but also brings back the lost money / corrupt money from the corrupt elected representatives and civil servants to a maximum extent, leaving what so ever corruption happened is happened and intended to prevent happening of corruption in future, will not yield the desired results, as why people of the country lose their hard earned money?  if a cancer or any decease occurs to human being or a crop in the agriculture filed, the root cause of the disease has to be found, and start treatment to eliminate the root cause of disease, otherwise there is every possibility the decease may occur in future, the same applies to preventing corruption.  The process of making elected representatives and civil servants accountable to common people in a transparent manner will certainly eliminate the root cause of corruption decease to a maximum extent, after all the corruption is originated and loss due to corruption is maximum due to A,B class elected representatives and civil servants, and also the old say” what the king do the the people follow”, if the kings are corrupt, the employees in the kingdom also corrupt, if the king is straightforward, the employees in the kingdom are bound to be straight forward?. The above process making the decision making authorities and implementing authorities at the top is made accountable to the people; everything will be in order, over a period of time.

[2]               VERY BASIC STEP IN BRINGING ACCOUNTABILITY OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES IS CREATION OF CONSTITUENCY WISE WEB SITE, MAKING MANDATORY FOR CONTESTANTS TO SUBMIT MANIFESTO FOR THE CONSTITUENCY, PUBLIC TO CHOOSING BEST CANDIDATE BY COMPARING THE MANIFESTOS, TIME BOUND FULFILMENT OF PROMISES MADE IN MANIFESTO, FAILURE TO DELIVER SHOULD LEAD DISQUALIFICATION ,

The very basic measure is creation of web site for each MP and MLA constituency maintained by election commission. It should be mandatory that each candidate contesting election, in fray should prepare a manifesto for the constituency, their idea of the issues, how to overcome them,  what are the development activities going to do if given mandate by the people of the territory in each sector wise, like education, employment, health care, electricity, roads, housing, drainage, agriculture, women & child development and yearly planner/ yearly target, etc and any additional plan, this should be submitted along with election affidavit. The website will have vision, mission of each candidate for the territory; it is for the people to choose the best candidate. Now after getting mandate, the onus lies on the candidate. The elected representative should make efforts irrespective of the political party in the government to fulfil the promises made in the election manifesto affidavit. The elected representative should up date every month the progress on the election manifesto in the website of the position of the elected representative both in the form of letters/ correspondence made, any photographs of the work in progress (like stages of construction, finished infrastructure, installation of equipment etc and not the photographs of handing over the memorandums to persons in government) etc.

     In case the elected representative fails to fulfil 50% of the promises in each year as specified in the affidavit in the manifesto of the constituency, in addition overall average fulfilment of over 50% of the commitments made in the manifesto in the the tenure then the elected representative should be  disqualified automatically due to lack of quality efforts/concrete efforts on the part of the elected representative, barring the court cases, in addition the ER and their immediate family members should be barred from contesting any elections in their life time for breaching trust of lakhs/millions of people. Even in case the elected representative resigns in the mid of the tenure, the quantity of work done is decided on yearly target/ plan for achievement in different sectors should decide the performance of the elected representative. The elected representative should be in ”perform or perish” catch, they should perform as promised in constituency manifesto or perish;  this measure will really fix the accountability, certainly make the elected representative to act in a responsible manner from the day they file nomination, make them not to give false promises, rise aspirations  with un achievable, impossible promises and vanish for five years and just before elections of next term will come with new catchy promises and manage to get mandate with money power and muscle power by making the people give mandate, instead the elected representative will be realistic in making the promises and work dedicatedly to reach the promises goal/ target oriented manner in the larger interest of the people of the territory in order to stay in power.

    

[3]               FIXING RESPONSIBILITY TO THE POLITICAL PARTY WHICH NOMINATED THE CANDIDATE, IN CASE AFTER GETTING ELECTED, THE ER FAIL TO DELIVER THE PROMISES MADE IN MANIFESTO OF THE CONSTITUENCY

     Also the political party nominating the candidate should also be made accountable by making the political party also equally guilty/responsible for failure in case the ER from that party failed to fulfil 50% of the promises made in the manifesto, then the ER should get disqualified, in addition the political party which the ER belongs to also face disqualification for a two terms to contest election, this measure will enable the political party to ensure the elected representative from their party work in the direction of fulfilling the promises made in the manifesto.  This measure will bring a sea change in the development of the territory and the country in due course of time.

[4]               NEXT IS CREATION OF DATA BASE CONTACT DETAILS ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES AND CIVIL SERVANTS IN HIERARCHY FROM VILLAGE LEVEL TO MANDAL TO DISTRICT TO STATE/NATIONAL LEVEL

     In the next measure simultaneously needed is  the government must make simple website of containing the details of elected representatives and civil servants from in each State wise, district wise, mandal/ block wise/ village wise; i.e the details of name, age, gender, caste/religion, belonging to which political party, contact number (to be provided by government), land phone number; e mail id (to be created by government); of elected representatives from gram sabha members to sarpanch to mandal parishad elected members, zilla parishad elected members, MLA, MP; also the civil servants government officials from VRO, Tahisldar to BRO/MRO, DRO, Joint collector/Dy DM to District collector/ DM in revenue department, likewise in other department like police, judiciary, education, health care, agriculture, electricity, rural/urban development, other officers of various department having territorial jurisdiction; also the list of MLA territory mandals, villages; the list of MP territory MLA. This will give first hand information to the people of the territory.

     This measure enables the common people, the educated children of the people living in villages, who are educated and working in cities can immediately contact the concerned officials in the event of/case of any grievances that need immediate attention/redressal by the local authorities, who otherwise mostly exhibit negligence/ callousness in solving the grievances, or in case need to complain to the higher authorities for corruption of the lower civil servants etc. The government must ensure the e mail of all ER/CS at all levels are working, operated by the ER/CS daily, by alerting them every day, also keeping a default back up e mail, ensure that each e mail received by the elected representative or civil servant is seen within 24 hours of time, else by default the e mail will automatically get forward to the next level in the hierarchy and so on, till e mail request/ representation was read and sent acknowledgement to the common person who sent the e mail, this in addition to SMS alert to the concerned elected representative or civil servant mobile number who got the e mail from public or any other quarter. 

     This website creation/ data portal creation is the very beginning stage in the process of bringing accountability of the elected representatives and civil servants.

     ACCOUNTABILITY OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE:

[5]               CREATION OF WEB DATA BASE OF PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION RELATED TO ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES EACH CONSTITUENCY WISE/TERRITORY WISE

   The next step in this process is to ensure all personal information and professional work related information of the elected representatives  district wise, Constituency wise/territory wise should be digitalised, made online,(family tree, income & assets of family tree for all EC from Gram Sabha member to MP), in addition day to day work, updating of the information daily for all  ER (MLA, MLC & MP’s), each ER should be provided with Internet enabled tablet PC devices, a personal assistant from government side with default simple programme to up load the details daily.

[6]               PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR THE POSITION OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE IN THE CONSTITUENCY

   In order to ensure better day to day working of ER, it is very necessary, that the ER must stay in the constituency, as such the elected representative’s position should be provided with standard residence in the territory by government, and in addition the elected representative position should have a permanent office. It should be mandatory on the part of the elected representative to stay in the government provided residence/ house and visit the government provided elected representatives office in their respective territories all the time during non session period, for all official purposes. So that processing of information is accurate.  Also it should be mandatory that all ER should stay in the constituency/territory at least 80% of the time in each calendar year excluding the period of secession of the democratic institution where he/she is a representative like parliament or legislative assembly/council or any local body institution.

[7]               PERMANENT OFFICE FOR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE IN THE CONSTITUENCY/ TERRITORY

     All elected representative permanent office setup (at first phase MP, MLA elected representatives, second phase ZPTC/MPTC, third phase WARD/SARPANCH) should have standard equipment like computer, printer, Xerox machine, fax machine, high speed internet connection, CC camera survive-lance. It takes maximum of 7 days to built the office with RCC foundation with pre fabricated structures and pre manufactured readymade concrete walls (ref: my “SHELTER FOR ALL” document)

[8]               PERMANENT STAFF FOR OFFICE OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE WORKING UNDER ELECTION COMMISSION

     All the elected representatives should be provided with permanent staff from government side for the position of elected representative, to work in the office, the number of staff members depending up on the number of population in the constituency.  The staff should not be related to the elected representative (not blood related to, not  related to in laws also), also The staff should not belong the caste, religion of the elected representative by and large, in order to ensure balance of harmony, for  preventing to some extent non indulgence in biased, favouritism and nepotism towards any section of people by the ER, after all the elected representative should behave like representative of all sections of people who are living in territory. Also it should be mandatory to maintain gender equality in the staff of the elected representative to ensure the females in the constituency can visit the office of the elected representative and discuss freely about any gender related grievances with the female staff.

     The staff of ER should be transferred mandatorily every two years from one constituency to other, and also subjected to inter district transfer every 8 years. This measure is necessary in order to ensure that the elected representative is alert, not indulging in any kind of special treatments to any sections with the support of staff, by changing them every two years, the staff also works more professionally rather than tuning to the elected representative acts, also their survival is not at the mercy of the elected representative but based on the conduct in discharging their duty like any government servant.

     The staff of the elected representatives should work under the control of election commission; The election commission to do transfers and postings of the staff of the elected representative.

[9]               ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES MUST UTILISE PERSONAL ASSISTANT, TAKE THEM ALONG WHERE EVER THEY MOVE OFFICIALLY.

       

   Also in order to make sure the information received in the office of the ER should be processed correctly, ensures accurate entries in the online date sheet of the elected representative who are otherwise busy (Class A, Class B elected representatives, i.e MP, MLA’s), they should have personal assistant (PA), who are appointed by government. The PA should pass the eligibility test, having minimum qualifications of graduation, with computer knowledge, office administration, file maintenance, with local language, English language command. The personal assistants of elected representatives the pay, salary are equal to Group B officers with rank of Group B officer in government. Also the personal assistants should be transferred every two years from one ER in the territory to other ER in the district, after 8 years of serving in the district, the personal assistant should go to other district all transfers should be follow the method of NEWS i.e North, East, West and South of the territory and that too by lottery system. This is necessary as till date most of the elected representatives get the deals (corrupt practices, who are the conduits of the corruption by ER so they keep their trusted people) through their personal staff who are otherwise private employees, also some of the pity greedy elected representatives are drawing the Personal assistant allowance from the government by showing their relatives, kin as their PA but in some cases their own kin / relatives never knows that they are being PA for the ER on the records. In this matter, there should not be any concession to elected representative and certainly take the personal assistant posted by the government, and since unlike private personal assistants and private staff of elected representative who do not fall under government, as such indulge in wrong/corrupt practices, tune to the ER, but whereas government appointed staff of the elected representative since are under CCS conduct rules, by and large they adhere to straight forward ness.

[10]            MANDATORY THAT ALL ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE USE OFFICIAL PHONE, OFFICIAL E-MAIL FOR ANY COMMUNICATION

       

     Also in order to ensure the information provided by the elected representative related to day to day work activities is accurate, it mandatory that all elected representatives should use only the official phone (land line, mobile) provided by the government to make any calls, receive any calls for all oral communication.; in addition all elected representatives uses only official e mail for receiving and sending any information during their tenure as elected representative.  The Elected representative or his/her PA should note down the details of the calls/e mails made to any government officials, Judiciary, police etc, any calls/e mails received from any quarter; the purpose of the call/e mail, the outcome of the response from the government official etc. Every day and up load to the web site next day in brief, so that common public are aware about the activity of their elected representative. Also the elected representatives should be barred from making oral orders/request/representation for any government officials unless otherwise emergency.

     Also it should be mandatory that all elected representatives should reveal to public the call data of the official phone (both mobile, land phone in office, residence) at the end of the month and the daily updates should match with calls list.

     Also elected representatives are barred from using any personal phone other than the phone provided by government, in case of use of personal phone the elected representatives should mandatorily inform the election commission their personal phone numbers and the call data of all personal phone numbers should be submitted to election commission, no communication from the personal phone to any government official, all communications to government officials (CS) & public should be through official phone only. In case any call made to CS from personal phone the ER should immediately explain to the EC and Common public the reason for calling from the personal phone, otherwise subjected to disciplinary action.

     Also it should be mandatory that elected representatives should provide the phone numbers of their family members, their personal staff to the election commission for scrutiny appropriately, in case of any allegations of corruption charges, misuse of power by the kin kith of the elected representative influencing the concerned authorities in the respective territory or elsewhere, the EC can take into account and make it public for public scrutiny.

            

[11]            ALL GENERAL MEETINGS OF ER WITH COMMON PUBLIC SHOULD BE OPEN FOR ALL IN PUBLIC ON DAILY ONE HOUR, ALL SPECIFIC MEETINGS IN ANY WORKING DAY SHOULD BE ONLY THROUGH E MAIL / SMS REQUEST IN STANDARD FORMAT

                    

     All the elected representatives should conduct their daily activities of meeting people, in the official office only, whenever the ER stays in the constituency non touring period, non secession of the assembly/parliament, all meetings without appointment i.e general meetings should be for one hour daily, and on weekends for more hours, if any section of people wish to meet the ER separately and discuss any issue they should seek special appointment, it is for the ER office to fix time or advise the person to meet in the general meeting, this measure is necessary to use the ER time judiciously. All the visitors meetings should be under CC camera surveillance.

     All the visitors of the elected representatives who visit without any appointment, or who just want to submit their representations/ petition letters, also should enter in the designated register their details, which should contain named, address, voter ID card, Phone number (mobile number of individual or their family member) the purpose of the visit in detail with brief description of the grievance, if possible the copy of the grievance letter with any documentary evidence. It should be mandatory on the part of the office of the elected representative to provide acknowledgement immediately, with mention of e-grievance number by up loading the same on the computer, so that the grievance holder can see on the website of the elected representative after few days about the progress of his/her request,  all updates on the requests can be sent to SMS to the mobile phone number given by the visitor, also the visitor can send remainders once in three weeks either through e mail or through SMS to the ER office in a standard format.

     All the elected representative position should have a specific e mail Id (not e mail id in the personal name of the ER, after all he/she may not get elected permanently?), which can be used to receive the grievances. All specific appointment requests should be through e mail only, for the specific appointment there should be a standard format with mandatory parameter is voter ID card number, online for each constituency/each ER position, in which those who wish a specific appointment fill and submit, it is the prerogative of the ER to give specific appointment or not, else advise to visit the general meeting without appointment. But it should be the responsibility of the elected representative to provide time all the people who requested time, after all they elected him, the first preference should be given to requests of the people of his constituency who elected the elected representative, then to those who has specific plans to invest in the constituency for infrastructure development/ employment generation.

     Also the people of the territory can send their requests/ grievances through E mail to the ER, it for the ER office to provide acknowledgment and process the request/ grievance officially.

     The above measure eliminates the middle men, brokers, fixers fixing appointments with the elected representative to a great extent, as this measure will eliminate intervention/ recommendation by the local political party workers taking people to the elected representative and expecting some bribes for organizing a meeting with ER or obtaining a letter from the elected representative to the local person in the constituency of ER which is illegal/ illegitimate and nothing but bribe/ corruption.

    

[12]            MANDATORY FOR THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE TO ATTEND THE OFFICE OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE

     Also it should be mandatory that elected representative should visit the office of the elected representative, the office should should be open from 9 am to 5 pm on all working days (6 days a week).

[13]            ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE OFFICIAL RESIDENCE/OFFICE SHOULD BE BARRED FROM BECOMING HANGOUT PLACES FOR TOUTS/ INTERMEDIATERIES

     Also the people of the territory /private visitors who are aides of the ER who are regular visitors should be restricted to enter the residence/office of the ER, as it ER office should not be the hangout place (adda) for these aides, otherwise some of the aides are becoming touts to make deals, if any aides of the ER/ political workers of the ER party, they should visit the ER only as a normal visitor with a valid reason for specific appointment or as a general visitor in the office of ER, the ER should not provide any special treatment to any person either political or non political,  the ER also need to spend time evenly with all the people of the territory, no way can entertain few people for hours every day, wasting time, neglected lakhs of people who elected.. the ER office or residence should not be the hangout place for the so called aides, as most of the aides are becoming touts over a period of time. The staff of ER should make a note of such regular visitors (without any real valid purpose of the individual), inform to the EC, EC should ban entry to ER office if the aides enter without any valid cause every time to ER office otherwise treating as trespassing, action should be initiated on both ER as well as the aide of ER for entertaining trespassing, Otherwise there is every possibility that these regular visitors may act as touts and squeeze public by pretending they are close to ER and the grievances of the public can be addressed through influencing the ER, people fall in their trap and lose their heard earned money in the greed for urgent redressal of their grievance?

[14]            INSTALLATION OF CC CAMERA IN RESIDENCE & OFFICE OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE, THE FEED SHOULD BE WEB CASTED LIVE

     It should be mandatory that the elected representative should stay in government allotted residence, the ER residence should be under CC camera survive lance at the entrance/exit. The entire office premises of the ER should be fully covered under CC camera, at the entrance, visitors place, in the room of the ER;  The CC camera video should be web casted 24/7 online, so that common people of the respective territory can view/ observe who is visiting their elected representative, it is the duty of the elected representative to reveal to the people who elected him/her as their representative who visited him/her, what is the purpose of the visit, so that all illegitimate/  corrupt people visiting is contained, can be easily noted by public over a period of time, in due course, as most of the deals by the touts, business people are done at the office/residence of the elected representative; This measure will bring some accountability of the elected representative to the people of the constituency.

     Also it should be mandatory on the part of the elected representative to immediately explain to the public through upload in the website in the event of male elected representative meets any female alone at residence, especially after office hours, the reason for the meeting alone the single female, which ever profession she belongs to and what so ever may me the grievance, what is the urgency to meet the female alone in odd hours, and what they have discussed during the meeting in detail, this measure is very necessary, as there are allegations that it is an open fact that some of the elected representatives are sex sick, irrespective of their age, will keep illegitimate sexual relation, also woos their own political party cadre/ or any women who seeks help, some of the female visitors who wish to see him, by giving appointment to them at their home (informally) in the late evening and try to trap them over a period of time to get into their fold, also some of the elected representatives uses call girls and make use of them in their homes, since they feel that their homes are safe and not under the camera lens of the CC cameras in the Hotels / lodges to get their enjoyment fulfilled without much fear; as the fact being that most of such  ER family stays in the native place or in their constituency, most of the elected representatives are forced bachelors for some time in the official house of the elected representative in the state/ national capital, during the period of attending the Assembly/ Parliament. Also in case the elected representatives are holding the position of political party positions in the party head quarters usually in the capital of the District/ State / Country, As such some of the sex sick elected representatives indulge in this kind of illegitimate activities. (not all elected representatives, only some); as they have to stay away from the family for most of the time in the year, as the majority of the male elected representatives are sex sick, who otherwise talk about empowerment of women, and they indulge in adultery, cheating their own wife, family.. shame shame..?, Also there are allegations that some of the gun men are scared to work with some of the elected representatives because they are gay and every day try to rope into gay sex the exercise body security men, when the security men are straight sex. As such happing of adultery can be reduced to great extent with this measure, the CC TV fixed at the entrance and exit of the residence of elected representative, after all the ER should be an example for others in clean personal character, especially for the youth to follow the ER footsteps.

[15]            DECLARATION OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE EVERY YEAR ABOUT THE FAMILY STATUS AND GOOD CONDUCT, DIS QUALIFICATION OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE ON GROUNDS OF ILLEGITIMATE SEXUAL ACTS

[16]            ALL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE AND CIVIL SERVANTS SHOULD BE IN WRITING, (LETTER/E MAIL) IN CASE OF URGENCY ONLY ORAL COMMUNICATION, THE CONVERSATIONS SHOULD BE TRANSLATED TO TEXT

     In order to ensure absolute professionalism prevails in the CS&ER relations without any scope for bias, favouritism, corruption, all the corresponding ‘to and from’ the ER and CS, and vice versa should in writing or in case of urgent communication voice recording in case of telephonic conversation, or officially recording in CC Camera in case of personal meetings,  which later translated into text for official record, all conversation between ER& CS should be on record and no ‘off the record’ talks under any circumstances, even in the case of conversation between CS &ER who are in government like ministers and constitutional authorities.

     This measure ensures professional working environment for CS as there is no interference/ recommendations ny ER of what so ever nature for postings and transfers of the lower CS, all postings of CS especially of the grass root government officials like VRO, MRO, SHO, even teachers etc should be done by the CS in hierarchy professionally (using NEWS method i.e north, east west and south of the district  method of posting of the official, no official will be allowed to stay more than two years tenure in a single positing in the present posting, also after 8 years the official should be moved to other district in the state in the same NEWS of the districts in the state) all positing should be done on lottery bases in alphabetical order of the mandal/ district, to ensure zero scope for corruption. In case of failure to up loaded the details of conversations between ER&CS it should be considered as corruption, breaching of trust, confidence of the people of the territory kept on the elected representative. 

[17]            CIVIL SERVANTS ARE BARRED FROM VISITING OFFICE/ RESIDENCE OF ER; ONLY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES IN GOVERNMENT LIKE MINISTERS/ IN CONSTITUTIONAL POSITIONS  SHOULD CALL CIVIL SERVANTS TO THEIR OFFICE, ONLY THROUGH E MAIL REQUEST WITH SPECIFIC MENTION OF SUBJECT TO BE DISCUSSED, NEED FOR PERSONAL VISIT

     Also it should be made mandatory that Civil servants (government official) are barred to visit the elected representative residence/ official in his / her official capacity/ while on government duty/ in service, which otherwise leading to corruption in one or other way, also influencing the administration (indulging in bias, favouritism), also it may lead the ER influencing the higher civil servants for posting of particular officials in the constituency who are otherwise colluded with the elected representative for fulfilling the vested interests of ER as well as the junior CS.

     Also all the ER who are in the government (ministers, in constitutional positions) can call the CS to their camp office/ office for personal meeting only through E mail request by writing brief subject about the need for meeting in person, only in case of any matters of secrecy they should inform in the e mail brief with special code, all the meetings of the CS with ER should be video & audio recorded irrespective of what the discussion, and kept it as record, all the meetings regarding measures by government to curtail any kind of violence that occurred, or Internal security, external security, all conversation records should be held within the government as record, but all remaining conversations on any subject should be made public in due course over a period of time; This measure also ensures prevailing of absolute professionalism in the operations of CS, especially higher CS, so that that the close confident followers of the elected representative cannot act as conduits/ intermediateries between the elected representative and the vested interests, the CS can do their routine job in an un-biased manner.

[18]            RESTRICTING THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES TO WRITE ANY LETTER TO CIVIL SERVANTS OR OTHER ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE IN GOVERNMENT, ONLY PERTAINING WITH IN THEIR TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION

     It should be mandatory that the territorial jurisdiction for writing to any Civil servants (Government) on any matter should be restricted to the elected representatives jurisdiction, as it is common allegation, partly true  that most of the elected representatives either directly or their staff take money for giving a letter to individuals (few hundred’s to several thousands of rupees), whether they belong to the elected representatives constituency or any other place anywhere in India; in case if any individual belonging to other than the territorial jurisdiction of the constituency wants help of the individual elected representative, the elected representative may issue the letter to the concerned with a copy to be mailed to the concerned elected representative where that individual belongs to/ resides, based on the urgency. This measure is necessary to bring transparency in the day to day work of the individual elected representative.

     Only Elected representatives in the government / constitutional positions can write to any other within their limit within the jurisdiction of subject where they are looking into to any one related, without having any territorial jurisdiction,(i.e, Mayor/Municipal Chairperson/Zilla Parishad chairperson the territorial jurisdiction is the city/town/district;  minister in state government, the territorial jurisdiction is state, the Minister in GOI, the territorial jurisdiction is country)  but even those elected representatives in government must quote the voter ID number, but certainly need to send a copy to the elected representatives of the concerned territory mandatorily about the representation/grievance received from the person belonging to their territory, the action taken report on the received request.

[19]            ALL REQUESTS FROM PUBLIC TO ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE SHOULD MANDATORILY MENTION VOTER ID CARD NUMBER, PAN CARD NUMBER

     Also it should be mandatory that all request letters sent to the elected representative by any individuals should mention the voter ID card number in case of individual requests and PAN number for the organisations/business establishments in case of requests by organisations for any official request for the support of the elected representative.

[20]            MANDATORY FOR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE TO MENTION THE VOTER ID CARD NUMBER IN CASE OF WRITING FOR ANY PERSON TO ANY CIVIL SERVANT/GOVERNMENT

     Also it should be mandatory for the elected representative writing any letter to any government official or private on for  any individual/ supporting/processing of the request of any individual should clearly mention the voter ID of the requested person, PAN no of the business organisation. It should be the duty and responsibility of elected representative (other than nominated in upper house like Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council) should restrict themselves to recommended for any individual belonging to his/her constituency, that can be checked by putting voter id card number of the requested person, in case if any non constituency person/ business organisation wises to do something useful for the people of the constituency, in such cases the elected representative can write any letter for such cases, else they should simply forward such request letters to the concerned elected representative for perusal...; also it should be mandatory that nominated elected representatives should be restricted to write only form the state which they have elected as a nominated member for upper house in case of Parliament for Rajya Sabha,  and all other professionals nominated by President should be restricted to write recommendation letters to the government only the on professional matters which they are representing the fraternity like sports, arts, press/media, science, etc; this measure will certainly bring down the corruption to a great extent.  Also similarly in the legislative council from the district which they got elected, from which quota they got elected (teachers, local body, graduates) should be restricted to write and recommend only for such profession which they got elected and not for the general public. This measure will ensure maximum corruption is reduced and maximum benefit to the people who elected the representative, all ER become professional in working.

[21]            MOST OF THE COMMUNICATION MADE BY ER SHOULD BE THROUGH E MAIL ONLY, JUDICIAL USE OF LETTER PAD OF THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE,

     Also it should be mandatory that the elected representatives communication should be by and large through e mail for communicating with the CS or any ER in the government like ministers constitutional position holders etc (this measure will contain corruption to some extent). However the ER can use the Letter pads only in case of necessary, where public do not have e mail address of their own, also ER should not use the elected representative letter head for writing any communication within the political party hierarchy. Since Government create an e mail id for all elected representatives position, all civil servants position, all communication between elected representative and civil servant and vice versa and any communication received from public/ replied to public should be by and large through e mail only (save paper save trees, save printing carbon black save water); the civil servants can create separate files with file noting to me circulated among the civil service hierarchy. 

     All the letter pads of the elected representative should be bar coded, all letters issued by the elected representative every day for any purpose should be up loaded in the website so that the receiver of the letter can ensure ethnicity of the letter issues and the signature and the letter was of the elected representative.

[22]            ALL EX-ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES (RETIRED / RESIGNED / SUSPENDED) SHOULD BE BARRED FROM USING GOVERNMENT SYMBOL LETTER HEADS/VISITING CARDS, ALL GOVERNMENT SYMBOL LETTER HEADS, & VISITING CARDS TO SITTING ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES/ IN GOVERNMENT POSITION SHOULD BE MADE BY GOVERNMENT ONLY WITH MENTION OF TENURE OF THE ER.

     Also it should be made mandatory that government must ban/barr ex elected representatives (retired/ resigned/ suspended) using the letter heads with government symbol, all ex elected representatives (whose term is over) should not use government symbol, in their letter heads they may mention that they are ex elected representative the printing should be done privately. Also it should be made mandatory that private press should be barred from printing government symbol, it should be a non bail able offence. All elected representatives, all civil servants letter heads and visiting cards should be printed and supplied by government only, as it is a fact that there is acute misuse of this facility, as many of the elected representatives even after becoming ex getting the letter printed as elected representatives, sometimes they may write as ex with hand writing or otherwise uses the letter as if they were representing at present even though their term is over long back., also similarly the nominated position holders in government which are in advisory/ honorary role for two to three years in various boards of different ministries in the government uses the government symbol un-authorisedly, even after their term was over long back, even when some of them are not eligible to use government symbol, these  kind of people uses the letter head and visiting cards for the purpose of show put up and making the deals as if they are in government, of course they may have  political party  links, using both they indulge in cheating public that they can do so and so work, also in case the ruling government is the same political party which such kind of persons, then they do vigorously, and act as touts to the elected representatives in the government, doing all illegitimate and illegal activities.

     The government must supply letter heads every quarterly, and in case of requirement the letter heads/ visiting cards as made by the ER should be supplied with two working days to the ER this measure saves lot of wastage of papers/ printing and saves lot of government money as most of the ER not uses the letter pads and visiting cards which are getting wasted by supplying in excess than originally required.

     Also it should be made mandatory that all letter heads supplied by the government must print the period of term of the elected representative or government nominated position (i.e from this date and year to this date and year the person is going to represent), which will certainly prevent the misuse of letter head and visiting cards, also all other government/private must be informed to entertain only letter heads / visiting cards with validity of term date and expiry of date, and if any wrong comes (they can check in the internet the valid term) they should be immediately inform the police, all the valid term elected representatives and government nominated positions should be made available in the website with respective territorial jurisdiction.  With the above measure, such kind activities can be minimized to a great extent.

[23]            MANDATORY THAT ALL REQUESTS TO ER FOR RAILWAY EQ SHOULD BE THROUGH ONLINE, ONLY BY THE LOCAL PEOPLE OF THE TERRITORY BY MENTIONING VOTER ID CARD NUMBER

     Also it should be mandatory that the entire railway/bus emergency quota requests made to the elected representative should be made through the ONLINE request (standard format for each constituency/ER) by the concerned individuals belonging to the territory of the elected representative with the mention of voter ID card number of the individual and the purpose of emergency to me mentioned clearly. The elected representative should issue the EQ request E mail/ request letter to the concerned railway/ bus authority among the individuals who have requested based on the urgency of the purpose. (it is ideal to totally computerise the EQ requests, all EQ requests hence forth through computer e mail  request from official mail of the ER, so that the EQ issuing authority can decide the release of EQ on automatic bases of eligibility in the hierarchy in the eligibility list) All the EQ requests made from public, issued letters from ER should be kept on the web site. This measure is necessary since most of the time the EQ was used for kin, kith, followers of the elected representative just for the sake of travel without any real emergency for the individuals, also this facility of EQ is being misused for making monitory benefits directly or indirectly by the staff or followers of the elected representative using the EQ request for the wealthy business people, rich who otherwise wish to travel in Train for any purpose in the last movement from different parts of the country, without any real emergency. Also it is ideal that the elected representative should do due diligence instantly by making the local elected representatives/ their respective political party workers to find out in respective village/ward where the EQ seeker mention of Emergency is real or fabricated, if any complaints if misuse of EQ is brought by any individual.

[24]            BARRING PERSONS WHO DO NOT EXERCISED THEIR VOTING RIGHT / DO NOT CAST THEIR VOTE WITHOUT VALID REASON FROM SEEKING ANY REQUESTS TO THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE

     Also it should be made mandatory that the person whose name is enrolled in the electoral in that territory, who do not exercised his/her vote during general elections (casted their vote) should not have the right to approach the elected representative for any recommendation letters, except on proven medical grounds  being the reason for not casting their vote, this measure will certainly increase the voter turnout in the polling, more people will exercise their right to vote, chose the right candidate, this measure can be implemented by just integrating with election commission website, also it should be made public on election commission website the details of people who not exercised their right to vote, to encourage more voter turnout;

[25]            GOVERNMENT MUST PROVIDE PERMANENT VEHICLE FOR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES FITTED WITH GPRS, IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY THAT ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE SHOULD TRAVEL IN GOVERNMENT VEHICLE ONLY

     Also it is necessary that government must provide standard vehicle with GPRS mounted in that vehicle, to all the elected representatives, it should be mandatory for all elected representatives to use the vehicle provided by the government for all places of visit within the territory and at the state capital during attending the secession of the assembly/parliament. The elected representative should be barred from using any other vehicle other than vehicle provided by government during his tenure as elected representative for all official purposes/visits. Also the vehicles should be  fitted with CC Cameras in the vehicle at the front rare view mirror inside the vehicle with voice recorder, the CC camera inside the vehicle should be on recording mode, soon the door get opened (even during non ignition time of the vehicle engine), the feed should be webcasted / recorded at EC office. This measure ensures that ER mandatorily travel in the official vehicle, carry the PA on all official tours, uses official driver provided by the government, in addition will not indulge in any illegitimate/ corrupt activities in the vehicle like carrying black money, liquor, call girls etc.

     The vehicle movements should be recorded in GPRS, should correlate with the places visited mentioned in the daily dairy of the elected representative. Also it should be mandatory for the elected representatives official vehicles to make daily e log book (all drivers must be provided with tablet PC with internet facility to feed the parameters of number of kilometres travelled etc) , i.e maintenance of log book containing the starting kilometres, ending kilometres, the places visited, the time of places travelled, whether the elected representative was in vehicle or vehicle was empty (in case of empty travel by the elected representative the reason for empty travel only by the driver, whether dropped the elected representative at bus/ rail station/ air port for travel to outstation or gone on any personal work of the elected representative) or carrying the family members, kin, kith, followers of the elected representative etc should be noted down by the official driver of the elected representative and make it online every day at the end of the day (to the election commission which is the appointing /controlling authority of the staff of ER, i.e Driver, in turn to the public by the election commission). This measure will ensure fuel discipline, also cross checks the elected representative’s claims of visiting various places; also it prevents misuse of vehicle facility by the elected representative’s kin and kith at the cost of public exchequers money.

[26]            ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SHOULD USE ONLY SECURITY PROVIDED BY GOVERNMENT

     Also it should be made mandatory that the elected representatives use only government provided security officials, The security persons on duty should use only government supplied special featured mobile phones while in duty, the special future is to restrict the phone incoming and outgoing calls (fixed incoming call numbers, fixed out going call  numbers only can be made, i.e the phone numbers of office of the elected representative, the elected representative number, the local police officials numbers, may be one number of family of the diver & security official individually). This measure is very necessary as security persons some time becoming information providers. In addition this measure ensures the security of the elected representative is more effective as the security do not have any kind of disturbance from any incoming calls or urge to make any outgoing calls while on duty. Also the security persons entry should be restricted to the entrance of the residence, also security should have special room / space in the permanent office of the elected representative to take rest during the ideal time and restrict the security staff from interacting with the visitors of the elected representative, otherwise they make rapport with visitors, do little favours and expecting speed money/bribes of small value for passing on information about elected representative etc.. Also the security persons should be changed every three months.

     This measure is necessary as most of the private security do not proper security procedure, they will be more rude being non trained and also some of them which were with the ER as private security are like local henchmen, many people locally will be fearful of being open with the ER for sharing any issues, also there is a danger of this henchmen will act as a settlement gangs / extortionists, by using the visitors of the ER with any grievances, may act as private courts. All this can be avoided by making the ER to mandatorily appoint government provided security in case they require security.

[27]            GOVERNMENT SECURITY EXPENSES OF THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD BE BARED BY THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE OR THE POLITICAL PARTY WHICH HE/SHE REPRESENTING, NOT GOVERNMENT.

     In case the elected representative or their family members are enjoying the security cover, the expenses should be bared by the elected representative or the political party organisation only and not the government (only for the sitting constitutional authorities government should pay), all ex/retired ER or ex/ retired constitutional authorities may be eligible for security cover but the cost for such security should be paid by the ex/retired ER. the security cover should be provided only on specific threat to the elected representative which was determined by the district police authorities, supported by intelligence. Most of the elected representatives manage to get security cover for just for social symbol. Also for those constitutional authorities, if they are holding assets in their name/ immediate family members name, the government must charge the security expenses and accrued in their name, and recover per annum on their earnings partly, in the event of death of such elected representative who enjoyed the cover of security at the government expenses, such expenses accrued till the date of death should be recovered after selling their assets which were shown in the affidavit, else their immediate family members can   repay such dues to the government (otherwise it is nothing but parasitism on the part of the elected representatives who are enjoying the security cover, at the cost of taxes paid by even BPL individual in the country in a direct / indirect manner?; do the so called security covered elected representatives do not know the basic facts that birth and death are not in the hands of individuals, it was determined by the GOD/universal cosmic forces which are driving the universe, death is certain, no one knows when he/she is going to die,  which manner they are going to die? Then why do they fear for death and makes the lives of millions of common people misery by enjoying millions of rupees per month security expenses which the poor paying taxes on soap, tooth paste, even on salt, daily consumables, such tax accumulated money is used by government to pay for the security of the elected representatives?), the same trained security can be ulised for mainting better law and order, also used in investigation to reduce the pending cases in courts?

[28]            MANDATORY 90% ATTENDANCE       OF TOTAL DAYS & TOTAL WORKING HOURS OF THE SECESSION BY ALL ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES

     It should be mandatory for the government to make make sure that in any democratic institution whether it is Zilla parishad, or Municipal council or State assembly or Parliament the elected representatives should attend each secession, stay in the house for more than 90% of the total working days as well as 90% of working hours, in case they fail to achieve 90% aggregate in two successive sessions in a calendar year, without any illness treatment in hospital bedded, then the elected representative should automatically should get disqualification, unless otherwise the reason for non attendance is due to hospitalisation/ medical reason/ bedridden.  Also in case the ER is suffering with prolonged illness more than 6 months them the ER term should be terminated by the head of the house and election commission should declare fresh elections in that constituency. In case elected representative do not have time to attended the session or do not have patience to sit in the assembly/parliament house during the running of house each day, then the elected representative should be disqualified, after all people of the territory elected the individual to represent them in the assembly/ parliament/ ZP/ MC and not for using the position and indulge in self aggrandizement of enjoying private life luxuriously?

     There should not be any big business for the elected representative other than participating as representative of territory and as part of whole state/country in the house he / she representing, he/she may be any political party office bearer, political party affairs should be/ in the strict sense are only next to representing the people who elected him/her? Without which there is no meaning for representing the people of the territory as elected representative?, as most of the ER skip the session to attend their political party needs, they being as office bearers or to attend events of the party organisation, some use for their private business activities or engaged in other private activities; after all in school if minimum attendance is not there the children are not allowed to write the examination, then how come the representatives of millions of people are being allowed free to act at their will and wish? Do the rules do not apply to the elected representatives just because most of them are elite/ upper echelon/ having money power/ muscle power/ being pampered because they are holding the political party power as top leaders of their respective political party? Is it called democracy? Is such ER having respect for the people who elected them or any respect for the institutions of democracy? If the ego filled to the core upper echelon / elite elected representatives do not understand the change that is needed and being accountable to the people, then the people of the country should act in such a manner that the elite/ upper echelon elected representatives are compelled / bound to be accountable and adopt the change in order to get their positions survived? 

[29]            ONLY PERSONS BELONG TO THE NATIVE STATE WHO’S MOTHER-TOUNG (MAY BELONG ONE OF THE DIFFERENT DIALECTS OF SAME LANGUAGE) IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE STATE, PREFERABLY LOCAL OF THE STATE SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR NOMINATING FOR UPPER HOUSE

     Also it should be made mandatory that only person belonging to the native of the state should be nominated for the upper house of parliament from that state only and not from other states, there should not be any political adjustments in this regard, as by and large such representative are not shown much interest in raising the issues pertaining the state which he/she was nominated, because of he/she is a non local to the state, not aware/not interested of real issues/local dynamics of the state where they got nominated, also most of the cases the language barrier, as their original mother-toung is different from where they got nominated,, in addition love for his/her own native state where he/she belongs to?); it is ideal to nominate to upper house elected by legislative members of the state assembly only person belonging to local citizen of the state (only in case if the government wish to nominate from other state, the person  should have exceptional track record of contribution to the welfare of people in general, in addition the individual should fully understand the language of the state). Otherwise when the issues of the territory the individual get nominated, if not raised by the individual, then it is mere waste of public money on that elected representative?

     Also many people educated, youth wants it should be mandatory hence forth that all people nominated for the upper house should have contributed for the growth of that particular field from which he/she comes, like education, science& technology, arts, sports, etc not just because of having money power or just because they are popular/ earned big name in the field like sports, cinema etc and become celebrities should not be the only qualification to be in upper house?, as such it should be the duty of the political parties to invite from elected representatives of that state for sending proposals of individuals names for consideration to be nominated for the upper house, the political parties must explain why they are giving nomination to the individual, what are great contributions of the individual, how many people get inspired and transformed their lives that helped the society etc;

     As such hence fourth even the President of India or Governor of the State should explain to the people of the country/state that what are merits that made them to choose the candidate to nominate from special category for the upper house, who are the others that where considered but could not be able to qualify, what is that in these so called celebrities/elite nominated for contributing to the filed i.e are they instrumental in giving lively hood for others in the same profession, or are they ever participated and fight for the welfare of people in the in the same field/resolving the issues of field? Many educated people are of the impression that the so called celebrities who earned the name for themselves, become popular, who are nominated as elected representatives in President/ Governor quota are literally insulting the constitution, institutions of democracy by not attending the parliament/ legislative council with their attendance as low as 10% and that too just signature and staying for few hours that means less than 1% of the working time (number of hours)of the secession?  Are they not making mockery of democratic institutions?, are they not wasting millions of rupees of government expenditure in the form of concessions, also for running the house itself taking several crores per secession? In addition the quality debates are not happening due to such absentee ER, then Why the common peoples hard earned money paid in the form of taxes getting deliberately getting wasted by these kind of nominated representatives be allowed?.

     Also it is fact that most of the elected representatives in upper house are more or less like “madam tostadas museum” statues, just sit in the house when the secession starts and leave the house at their will and wish, without hardly any participation in the discussions? Hardly participate in debates, except perform voting during whip? Not even contributed for any question related to their field?  Many common people, especially the youth, educated are of the surprised that How come the political parties talks big big about eradication of corruption and so called austerity measures, deliberately getting public money wasted unproductively, by nominating un productive people just because they are celebrities or elite/ upper echelons in the society or being bilinear, do the upper house means / meant only for people with money power?  Do upper house needs thinkers, people with expertise in different field who have contributed for growth of the field they came from, or only those who got self popularity? Do popularity/money power can substitute intellect and knowledge and wisdom which are the three components required for the people in the upper house? Need a change, need accountability of the political parties and constitutional heads to the people of the country, after all these institutions of democratic governance like parliament and legislative council are meant for public good and run with public money and not the money of the political parties to make the will and wish of the leadership of the political parties get prevailed in choosing the people for elected representatives?  Otherwise it is nothing but criminal for cheating millions and billion + people of the state/ country deliberately?

[30]            NEED FOR BAN ON POLITICAL PARTY ORGANISATIONS/ PARTY HEADS TO DECIDE THE LEADER OF THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES

     It is indeed very shame on the part of the Elected representatives to act as slaves to the political party office bearers or heads of the political parties. It is indeed blot on the democracy as almost all ER belonging to all most all political parties are giving authority to their political party office bearers or political party head to choose the leader of the ER who where otherwise elected by the people of the territory, and as per the constitution of INDIA it is the ER who elect among them the leader whether to be a ruling party leader to as head of the government or act as leader of party in the house, or leader of opposition, but shockingly almost all ER (cutting across party lines) making the mockery of democracy, doing servitude to the political party heads. As such in order to ensure the prevailing of constitutional democracy the ER should elect their leader in a secret ballet only, and completely banning giving authorisation to their political party office bearers or party head to choose the leader of ER’s. Otherwise they should be barred from contesting election by the election commission in future.

[31]            ANNUAL TIME TABLE OF SCHEDULE OF THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES (MP/MLA) TO VISIT IN THE ENTIRE TERRITORY OF CONSTITUENCY

     Also the Elected representatives especially MP/MLA time is very precious as they representing lakhs of people in the territory, so their schedules of stay in the territory (in the constituency), the schedule visit for each mandal wise/ block wise for all MLA and MLA constituency wise, Block wise/ Mandal wise for the MP candidates should be made fixed in the respective territory. Also the secissions of Zilla parishad/ Municipal Corporation should be fixed Also the period of the assembly/parliament session should be in fixed dates (of course in case of any urgency the special sessions can be convened) Which should be made public, so that public will get prepared to meet their elected representative, also the other elected representatives in the local bodies will make sure they will be available on these dates of visits of MLA/ MP in their respective territory, which should be mandatory to attended a meeting conducted by MP/MLA irrespective of which political party they belong to, their local issues should be discussed, given in writing and the minutes should be made public.

     During the non scheduled time the elected representative must stay in the home town and should visit the office in the constituency where the government officially designated for each elected representative.

     Also the elected representative may be entitled for holidays as was declared by the respective state government by the MLA’s, similarly by the central government by the MP i.e casual leaves, for use for personal holidaying with family, only in the non secession, non fixed scheduled  days of visits to the Mandals/ Blocks scheduled days.  Also they should visit private functions in out stations other than the constituency only on on non scheduled days.

[32]            MANDATORY FOR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES (MP/MLA) TO CONSULT PERIODICALLY WITH LOCAL BODY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES IN THEIR RESPECTIVE TERRITORIES TO DISCUSS ISSUES AND RISE QUESTIONS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE HOUSE WHERE THEY ARE REPRESENTING

     Also It should be mandatory since parliament is the highest decision making body for the country, similarly assembly for the state and zilla parishad for district, mandal parishad for the mandal, gram panchat for the village, it is necessary to take all decisions pertaining to the issues of the territory should be on consensus or majority approval. For the gram sarpanch approval of majority of all gram sabha members, similarly for mandal parishad ER, he should go by majority approval or concessions in writing/voting to raise any issue in the mandal parishad regarding that particular mandal where he/she representing, similarly the  Zilla parishad member has to take up any matter pertaining to his territory from consensus/ majority approval of MPTC members in the territorial jurisdiction. Similarly MLA should take any matter pertaining to the constituency only on majority approval of all local body ER in the constituency, similarly the MP can take up any matter pertaining to the constituency he/she representing only after majority of the MLA approval/ consensus as far the issues of the respective territory is concerned.

     As such the elected representatives must conduct the constituency meetings to be attended by all ER belong to that constituency, such meetings once in two months. The minutes of the meeting should be recorded, under camera recording the meetings should happen, giving opportunity for all to speak on the local issues, measures to for redressal of the issues in the territory. The meeting should be web casted live; in addition the minutes of the meeting should be up loaded to the web for public understanding and public scrutiny. The consensus outcome of the meetings should be raised by the MLA in the Assembly; similarly the outcome of the MP meeting should be raised by the MP in the parliament. This measure will certainly ensure team work will occur in each and every territory and over all development of the territory occurs, after all all elected representatives and political parties are for the betterment of the territory in one or other manner, in order ensure absolute professionalism prevails the meeting should be made live webcasted, and the text should be on the web. This measure that public can easily understood the real motives of the ER in the territory.

[33]            MANDATORY FOR MLA/MP TAKE INTO CONFIDENCE LOCAL BODY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES FOR RESOLVING/REDRESSAL OF ANY ISSUES RAISED BY ANY INDIVIDUAL BELONGING TO THEIR TERRITORY;

     Also it should be mandatory on the part of the MP to consult MLA;  the MLA to consult the Block/ Mandal/ Ward/ Village elected representative in writing and in voice record in case of specking orally to the local body elected representative,  about any issue raised by any individual belonging to their respective territorial jurisdiction to know about the facts, it should be mandatory to bring the local elected representative in loop by way of official correspondence in writing, (orally in case of urgent matter) before MLA/MP pursues the matter with government officials in the district / state /national level. This measure will provide recognisation to the local elected representatives, they feel they are included in the process; also the accurate information will come to resolve the issues.

[34]            MANDATORY RESTRICTION OF TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES WITH CLEAR AUTHORITY FOR EACH ER, MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT SHOULD BE RESTRICTED TO TAKE UP/WRITE ON ANY MATTER ONLY RELATED TO CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, SIMILARLY MLA RESTRICTED TO TAKE UP/ WRITE RELATED TO STATE GOVERNMENT.

     It is indeed very need of the hour mandatory measure to restrict the elected representatives to use their authority within their territorial authority. It is very simple, the Member of Parliament (MP) has the authority to raise questions in parliament, which the central government is  answerable to parliament, which means that anything that central government can do falls under the authority/ jurisdiction of the MP, similarly an Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) can raise any issue in the state assembly, which the government is answerable to the assembly, which means that anything that falls under the state government can do falls under the authority/jurisdiction of the MLA subjected to their territorial jurisdiction of the constituency individually, otherwise on any matter of the government collectively by the assembly. 

     So the MP should take up any issues of any individual in his territorial jurisdiction which the central government or central government agencies can do to the individual or the people of the constituency. In case any individual approaches the MP pertaining to any matter related to the state government, the MP should forward the same to the concerned MLA, which the individual belongs to through letter or e mail. It is for the MLA to pursue the matter with the state government and not the MP. Similarly the MLA should forward all requests/ grievances raised by any individual in the MLA constituency pertaining to central government, to the MP of that territory, MLA are restricted to write any letters to central government, except when they are in constitutional positions in state government like ministers, chairpersons of commissions etc. This measure will certainly reduce the work load on the MP/MLA also the MLA feels that MP not interfered / encroaching in the territorial authority of MLA, as such will have more interpersonal relation between MP and MLA and other ER in the local bodies. Similarly MP feels that he is treated high for brining funds from central government or any other issues related to Centre state. 

     By this MP are restricted to call /make request to any of the state government CS (government employees), in case any thing needed from the state government employee should contact oly projects which were funded by central government, otherwise the MP should go through the MLA of his  territorial jurisdiction. Similarly the MLA should not call/ request any central government employee, in case needed to contact MP; this measure also reduces the pressure on the Civil Servants, as the requests are reduced to them. Similarly even though the MP/MLA are ex officio members in Zillaparishad/ Municipal Corporation, they should not interfere in the authority of the ZPTC/ MC, they should act as mere observers and give only suggestions, in case they have better ideas/plans pertaining to  support/ interference of central/state government only.

     By this method of the strict division of authority the corruption can also be reduced to a great extent. It is necessary to keep on the website of the ER the authority of the ER where all he/she can interfere for the people of the territory, so that people will approach the appropriate concerned. This measure saves lot of precious time of people as well as ER’s.

[35]            IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY THAT ALL ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES IN GOVERNMENT WHEN ON TOUR TO OTHER TERRITORIES SHOULD INFORM TO THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST BELONGING TO THE TERRITORY ABOUT THEIR TOUR AND SPEND TIME WITH THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE LOCAL ISSUES

     Also it should be mandatory on the part of the elected representatives who are in the ruling government positions or in constitutional positions when ever visiting on official tour to any constituency/ territory should conduct an official meeting with the elected representatives of the territory including local body ER. All the elected representatives should be informed at least week days in advance about the tour programmes of the elected representatives who are in government.

            

[36]            DISTRICT WISE PROTOCOL DEPARTMENT TO INVITE / INCLUDE ALL ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES FOR ALL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMMES/ OFFICIAL PROGRAMMES OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES

     Also it should be made ideal to make a protocol department in every district / state, any government department conducts any programme, or any elected representatives belonging to that district inaugurating any government programme either through the MPLAD/MLALAD fund or any other official function, they should inform the protocol department of the district at least 15 days in advance of conducting such programme. The protocol department will in-turn inform all elected representatives belonging to that constituency/territory through letter, e-mail, SMS and telephone call at least one week prior to the programme, it should be mandatory duty of the other elected representatives to visit such programmes, the protocol department will give clearance for such programmes after ensuring those dates of functions not clashing with the dates of the secssion of democratic institution (parliament/assembly) where the elected representative belongs to/representing, as it is more priority.

[37]            FIXED LIST OF PROGRAMMES/ FUNCTION THAT ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE CAN ATTEND IN OFFICIAL OR PERSONAL CAPACITY DURING TENURE AS ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE; ALL EXPENSES FOR ATTENDING PRIVATE FUNCTIONS BY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE SHOULD BE BARED BY ER IN HIS/HER PERSONAL CAPACITY, NOT AT THE COST OF GOVERNMENT EXPENSES

     Also there should be fixed list of programmes / functions which the elected representative can attend programmes/ functions, otherwise elected representatives even while parliament secession is on are attending various private functions at various places at the cost of government flying in business class full fare air ticket and returning immediately to Delhi, this was common to most of the elected representatives, at their will and wish, and wasting government money as such there should be fixed guidelines for all elected representatives about the programmes that they can attend in official capacity as ER;

     The elected representative can attend any of his/her family function during non running of secession or fixed schedule in the respective territory, otherwise the elected representative should apply leave and take the permission of the head of the house and can attend the family functions in personal capacity (the family functions only those who were made public in the family tree of the elected representative), with no burden on the government, he should not use government provided air tickets,/ train tickets, all the fuel cost for attending the function in the government car should be paid to government by the elected representative only; in case of non family members the elected representative can attended functions of only the elected representatives belonging to the territory i.e which belong / fall in their constituency in personal capacity, in the event of any accident or death, that too only on non session days, in case of death of any elected representative the elected representative can attended at government costs to express solidarity to the family of the deceased elected representative.

     Also it is a fact that in the name of cultural events or felicitation of some people by some of the NGO’s and some organisations conduct evets/programmes with the elected representatives as their chief guests, the programmes are  not primarily intended in really promoting the culture or encouraging the youth, to take the spirit of the person was being felicitated for achieving something in life, as inspiration, but only to use the opportunity of this to show put up to the public they are close to the elected representative and doing some kind of deals to make money (more or less like selling the ox by keeping it immersed in water, showing the horns and telling the discretion of the ox and selling it for a price when there is no ox or the the horns of the ox are not the real description); by attending the functions of this kind of NGO’s/ cultural organisations by the elected representatives not only wasting the quality time, but also indirectly promoting the touts in the territory. So the protocol department of the district will decide which NGO/Cultural association function an ER  (MP/MLA) can attend based on the due diligence and real cause of such function/ how best the function can be useful to the people of the territory. Only such certified by protocol department functions can be attended by the ER, which again is the prerogative of ER to attend any non government function. 

     Also it should be made mandatory that for any programme organised by government or private of any cultural in nature only the elected representatives of that territory should be allowed to attend in official protocol capacity, however ER in the government can attend such functions due to having more territorial jurisdiction.

     This measure is necessary that elected representatives with government money, breaching the trust of the people,  working/ appeasement of section of people they attend the birth day / marriage functions of the elite / celebrities/ religious leaders or any other political leaders of the ruling party or any party of important to them or or touts/ middlemen who acts as conduits or even of the elected representatives (MLA/MP) giving priority to open a pann shop/ mom & pop grocesery shop while secession is running... this measure will certainly bring more accountability of the elected representatives position, also it reduces un necessary government expenditure, also the time of the elected representative is best used for cause of the people of the territory who kept faith/ trust on the elected representative. Also this measure reduces the corruption indirectly as it will not give any room for appeasement of some elite/ business people/ touts/ fixers by the elected representative in one or other manner.

     The list of functions that an ER can attend in official and personal capacity should be made and circulated among the ER and also made available on web site of each MP/MLA constituency for public understanding and monitoring.

     Also it should be mandatory that the elected representative should attending any functions in permitted to attend in personal capacity (whether attending any marriage or their own political party organisation function) with his/her own expenditure, without any expenditure to  the government when the functions are in out station. In case the functions are at the place of session i.e in the city of parliament/assembly they can attend only after the working hours of the secession is over for that day) otherwise he/she has to apply leave and attend such functions organised in the territory or elsewhere, all the expenses for travel to out station to attend the function should be bared by the ER only.  This measure saves lot of wasteful expenditure to the government.

[38]            ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SHOULD BE BARRED FROM ATTENDING CASTE BASED/ RELIGION BASED MEETINGS, HOWEVER THEY SHOULD ATTEND ALL RELIGIOUS FUNCTIONS ORGANISED BY VARIOUS RELIGIONS IN CASE THE ORGANISERS OF THE FUNCTION INVITES, EXHIBITING SECULAR HARMONY

     Also elected representatives should be barred from attending in official capacity for any caste associations meetings or any religious associations meetings during the tenure as ER, as he/she is representative of all sections of people in the territory not to a particular caste/religion. Otherwise it leads to bias/ favouritism to some section of people in the territory; also it leaves doubt in the minds of other section of people for neglecting them. However elected representative should attend any religious function if organised by any religion within the territory, if the organiser of the function invites the elected representative maintaining absolute secular harmony. Also the ER in his/her personal capacity may visit any religious place he/she practices for worshipping.

[39]            ALL EXPENSES MADE BY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE FOR  PRIVATE FUNCTIONS/ EVENTS PERFORMED/CONDUCTED BY HIM/HER SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC

     Also it should be made mandatory that all the expenses for any function like birth days, marriages in the  elected representative family tree or their political party leaders etc should be made public, even though the marriage/ reception function was done by the elected representatives family side, As it is an open truth that most of the ER function expenses are bared by some of the close aides or some business people who got favours from ER or anticipating some favours from ER are spending on behalf of the ER, which later they take some favour which yields them many times than the investment made on the ER function, it is  nothing but corruption.

     So by making the ER reveal the expenditure details of any functions, will make ER earn legitimately and spend judiciously from their earnings rather depends on some sponsorers, becoming parasitic on business people. This measure certainly eliminate touts/ corruption to some extent,

[40]            ALL EXPENSES FOR GOVERNMENT SECURITY (POLICE) FOR FUNCTIONS OF ER SHOULD BE BARED BY ER

     Also the expenses for security/ traffic arrangements of the elected representative’s functions should be bared by the elected representative only. It is a common practice that in case of the elected representatives from government like ministers, or their political party senior office bearers etc attending any function organised by the ER, the police department is arranging the police security at government cost, i.e at the cost of common people who paid tax to the government are being used by the elected representative for his personal functions? it is nothing but amounting to some corruption?.

[41]            ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SHOULD MANDATORILY STAY IN GOVERNMENT GUEST HOUSES DURING OFFICIAL TOURS

     Also during the official tours the elected representatives should mandatorily stay in government accommodations only, and not in private houses or private hotels, however the elected representative can stay in government accommodation or private accommodation during his/her private tours, but whether the official tour or private tour the elected representative should not turn the government guest house for meeting the political party workers, however he can meet the visitors in limited numbers.

[42]            ALL GOVERNMENT GUEST HOUSES SHOULD BE MADE UNDER ONE HUB CALLED “GOVERNMENT GUEST HOUSES DEPARTMENT” TO MAINTAIN THE GUEST HOUSE, ONLINE, THE DETAILS OF STAY, VACANCIES ETC WITH CC CAMERAS SURVEILLANCE

     It is very necessary to from district wise “government guest house department” integrating guest houses of all government departments of state government, central government and PSU under one hub. The guest house department will take up the job of maintenance of all guest houses professionally; the availability of all guest rooms at each location should be made online, all the requests from ER & CS should be made online, all the guest details, occupancy, date of vacation of the guest house, should be made visible to the common public,   all the elected representatives based on the level of representation is entitled for government guest house, and based on the eligibility in the official list of eligibility, the government guest house department will allocate the rooms, priority should be given to the requests of the government department which is owning/invested  for maintaining the  the guest house. Also it should be mandatory that all the elected representatives or civil servants must stay in the government guest house, only in case of no vacancies in government guest house the ER/CS can stay in private accommodations.

     Also there should be CC cameras at the entrance and exit of the government guest house, and the feed should be recorded in the parental department which maintains the guest house, also it is ideal to make the feed available to the district collector, and the district SP/ commissioner of police; This measure will certainly eliminate non eligible people staying in government guest houses in the name of the ER/ CS, also no illegal activities takes place in government guest house takes place. This measure will certainly make the accountability of the government guest houses which are maintained at the common peoples tax paid money.

    

     Also the guest house department may also process the request of locals to visit the visiting guests, by keeping the requests of the people to the guest ER/CS, and it should be the prerogative of the visiting guest to give time to the local people to meet them. Also it should be made mandatory that all the visitors of the guests in the government guest house should register their details along with finger print at the reception/ entrance of the government guest house, it should be ideal to make a visitors place to make sure all guests see the visitors at the visitors place/ visitors lounge. It should be mandatory to ban consumption of alcohol and smoking ad adultery in government guest house. In order to prevent any illegitimate activities it should be mandatory to install luggage scanners in all big guest houses (more than 10 guest rooms), otherwise by physical check by trained staff under camera at the reception to check the luggage carried by any guests or visitors for ensuring no carrying of liquor/ IMFL/ alcohol bottles or carrying goods / valuables or cash etc to prevent happing of illegal activities in government guest houses, all the female visitors should be mandatorily must be seen by the guests staying in government guest houses at the visitors lounge/ entrance by the guests staying in the government guest house. The guest house staff should be liable to punishment for non informing the authorities in case found any illegal activities in government guest house guest rooms during the cleaning of the guest room or found otherwise, which should be recorded in video for appropriate necessary action against the guest for violation of guest house norms. This measure will certainly make the government guest houses are not used of illegal activities or illegitimate activities.

[43]            ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES BARRED FROM ENTERING INTO CIVIL, CRIMINAL/ FAMILY DISPUTES

     All the elected representatives are barred from entering into civil, criminal disputes, land/property settlements, disputes of in family regarding any matter, matters of divorce etc., in case any individuals seek the help of the elected representative they should immediately advise them to approach concerned legal, constitutional remedies, inform the local police immediately to pursue the matter. The elected representative should be suspended immediately after getting prima-facy evidence of involvement of such incidences barred by law, in case of proven charges, the ER should be disqualified from contesting elections in future. This measure will provide great relief to the people of the territory as it is a common syndrome that most of the ER indulge in the civil/criminal / family matters to act as settlement agents to extort booty acting as if they are judge, they are prosecutor.

[44]            ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES AND CIVIL SERVANTS ARE BARRED FROM GIVING EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS TO MEDIA

   Also it should be mandatory that all ER and CS should be barred from giving exclusive media interviews to any print or electronic media. This measure is necessary as  CS and ER are supposed to be neutral, non biased towards any particular sections in the society, after all ER and CS are in public life and sentiments / interests of all people to be respected, some people may like some media and some may not like that media where the ER/ CS given exclusive interview, in this the ER/CS are forcing people to read /view that media. As this exclusive interview is nothing but bias / favouritism to a particular section, so all the ER and CS should be barred from giving exclusive interviews.

[45]            ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SHOULD REVEAL MONTHLY UTILISATION  OF THE PRIVILEGES / BENEFITS EXTENDED TO THEM BY GOVERNMENT

     All the elected representatives should mandatorily provide the details of utilisation of benefits, privileges provided to them by the government; like the use of free air tickets given to them, the places visited, the purpose of visit, etc, the free stay in the government guest house, the electricity bill, the water bill, number of gas cylinders used, the government subsidy canteen used/ (ER should be given smart cards for use in canteens), the use of railway pass etc etc every month. This measure will ensure judicious use of the privileges & facilities extended by government with public money to the Elected Representative, also public can understand and question in case of any deviations.

[46]            ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SHOULD MAINTAIN DAILY DAIRY

     Also it should be mandatory to maintain dairy of all the activities of the elected representative from getting in the morning to retiring for the day in the night should be noted in the minutes, in the form of “DAILY DAIRY” of the elected representative by himself/herself with the help of their PA as far as official work is concerned, viz the time he/she got up, he/she get ready for meeting public in home, the calls made, the people he met (whether people of the territory, or personal family friends or relatives, it should be mentioned, the people should know how the elected representative spending his time), the places visited, what is relation with that person which houses he/she visited, the purpose  of visiting different people/ offices in their home or office of that organisation. Etc every day and make the “daily dairy” public every day.

     It is very necessary after all the elected representative is representative of several thousand/ several lakhs of people in the territory, irrespective of number of votes (%of votes he gained in the election, which reveals that actually that may number of people has faith in the leadership) it is the duty of the elected representative to up hold the trust that people who voted him and made as an elected representative, in addition should gain the confidence of other people who did not voted for him. Also since the elected representatives salary, all other expenses are paid from the government exchequer, which is an accumulation of taxes collected by the government, every single individual in the country is contributing to the tax either directly or indirectly by way of income tax, sales tax, excise duty, etc etc; it is the right of the every individual to know the activities of the elected representative, how judiciously the ER is using time. The elected representative should be accountable for the people elected, his/her time utilisation, his/her way of redressal of grievances; his/her way of persuasion for development activities in the territory should be known to the common public in a very transparent manner.

            

[47]            MONTHLY STATISTICS OF ER & CS UTILISATION OF TIME SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC

     Also the ER should release monthly statistics from the daily dairy monthly statistics regarding the time spent by the ER for personal work, political party work, attending government functions, attending public needs, by way of clear mention of each division each day in the month. This measure will certainly provide clear understating to the public who elected the representative way of function; also this measure creates positive pressure on the ER to dedicate more time for the public service rather than spending for personal life.

                    

[48]            CREATION OF SPECIAL COURTS TO TRAIL CASES AGAINST ER FOR SPEEDY TRAIL TO ESTABLISH TRUST/ REMOVE THE ER FOR LOSS OF TRUST BY PEOPLE

     In case of violation of any norms in discharging the functions as ER, then the ER should subject to dismissal of elected member from holding the office on confirmation from the court for such violation. All cases related to the ER should be treated as special cases, there should be special cell in every district court, every High court to trail on day to day bases and dispose of the cases within 90 days of admission of the case by the court.

ACCOUNTABILITY OF CIVIL SERVANTS

     Similarly for the Civil servants the following measures should be mandatorily followed in order to make themselves accountable to the people who they are serving.

[49]            MANDATORY FOR CIVIL SERVANTS (GROUP B and ABOVE) TO STAY IN GOVERNMENT ALLOTTED HOUSES

     All the civil servants should stay in the government allotted houses only, only in case the government house is not available due to shortage then only the civil servants are allowed to stay in their  own house/rented house, in case they stay in own house they should inform the government about the ownership details that when they purchased the house, source of funds, in case they are staying in rented house, the rent paying to the owner of the house, whether the rent is as per market value or in case less than market value why the owner given at less rate. Alternatively in case of shortage of government houses, the government must procure the private houses on lease for few years and the lease rentals should be paid by the government through recovering from the HRA of the CS. Also all the retired/ transferred Civil servants must be vacated immediately within one month after retirement / transfer from the house where they are staying. No alterations should be allowed in the government houses by the staying CS. all the residences of all Group B officers and above should be under CC cameras at the entrance & exit and should be web casted live. This will not only ensure security to CS but also makes to the public who are visiting the CS home. 

     Also it should be ideal to make the government houses in a suitable single location, make them as gated community/residential complex with one entrance, with CC Camera surveillance, all visitors to residential complex should make an entry and visit the CS, also it is ideal to keep a luggage scanner, to scan the luggage of all persons carrying luggage into the complex including the civil servants.

[50]            MANDATORY USE OF OFFICIAL PHONE BY CIVIL SERVANTS FOR ANY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CS WITHIN HIERARCHY, WITH ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES ; BAN ON USE OF MOBILE PHONES IN OFFICE BUILDINGS

     All the civil servants must use the official phone provided by government both land line as well as mobile (government must provide mobile phones in CUG) only for any communication, for receiving or making calls to any other government official in hierarchy or any elected representative or any other individual should be made through the official phone (land phone and mobile).

     Also it should be mandatory that all CS in government must use land phone only when in office for any communication, complete ban on use of mobile phone in the office building. All the government officials should mandatorily deposit the mobile phone at the entrance of the office “mobile safe bank” to store the mobiles under individual lock and key (all government staff should keep the mobile phones in silent mode and deposit at the entrance of the office, to avoid the disturbance of the phone calls during working hours), this  measure will enhance the quality, efficiency of the work, reduce the pending work, having more concentration on work; as it is a fact that in general the mobile users as per survey conducted by some national agencies that on a single day, every day, mobile phone users, especially smart phone users are daily seeing the mobile phone on an average of Minimum of 50 times on an average just to check any missed calls or SMS came to them, or E mail came to them, or any updates in social networking sites like face book, twitter, orkut etc  when it is a fact that most of the civil servants (almost all) now a days own a smart phone (even though it is fact 95% of the smart phone users do not know how to use even 10% of the features in the smart phones) then imagine how much concentration that the CS are  making only mobile phones, leading to wastage of quality time, quality work? As such mobile phone use should be permitted only during lunch break or when out of office building. 

     In the absence of such measure many millions of man hours are getting wasted each week; eventually the government expenditure on their salaries, the electricity, etc got wasted,  imagine how much savings can be attributed, how much efficiently a civil servant and a bureaucrat can work, rise the in the productivity and efficiency of work can be achieved in absence the mobile phone to the staff during working time in office?; In case of any important / emergencies the staff can be contacted through land phone or the officers numbers are always available on phone they can be contacted or SMS, E mail, or alternatively a toll free number should be made only for government employees families call and inform the government employee to call back in case of emergencies; alternatively the group B and above officers should be allowed to carry mobile phones provided by government in the office, once government makes their office rooms equipped with CC cameras inside, and their hierarchy and public can see live in the web caste, as such they use it only when the purpose of the call is urgent. After all civil servants are paid salaries and other expenses maid for them by government are from public funds only, as such their efficient working should be the priority and this is the beginning of achieve efficiency, only solution.

     Also it is a fact that some of the civil servants who do not have much work, or leave the work to their subordinate officers indulging in watching pornography in the office, this is criminal on the part of the civil servant but still, till date no mechanism in place to contain such crimes, the measure suggested here to keep the mobiles in safe during office timings is the only solution, the CC cameras can reveal the staff/ officer using mobile phone in office, they should be suspended immediately after correlating the call use data of the phone number of the civil servant, and location of the phone, also it should be crime for using other phone number, which is not disclosed to the government. It should be mandatory on the part of all civil servants and staff to disclose their mobile phone numbers to the government.

     It should be an offence for the government officials to carry mobile phones/portable recording devices in the meeting chambers; this measure is necessary, not only to improve the quality & quantity of work, but also ensure the leakage of some confidential information on any policy decision, by using the mobile phones keeping in pocket by male  civil servants/their staff, and in the hand purse/hand bag of the female civil servants/ female personal staff, in silent mode, either voice recorder on or making the call to someone to listen the conversation of the confidential meeting while the meeting is on. This may impact sometimes negatively to the government, also it is becoming advantageous to few sections..this can be avoided by making mobile phones getting deposited at the entrance, with lock and key for each and every employee with permission to use during lunch time (it should be ideal to create enclosure for lunch room for all employees and the employees should be barred from having lunch in the office table, this measure also improves the inter personal relation among the employees and better work output can be achieved through enhanced cooperative team spirit due to enhanced inter personal relation between employees). In case any civil servant or staff found using the mobile phone or social networking site or using personal e mail during office timings they should be immediately suspended; they should be liable to reduction in the increments etc.

[51]            ALSO IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY THAT CIVIL SERVANTS SHOULD DISCLOSE ALL SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES ACCOUNT IN EACH SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE TO GOVERNMENT

     Also it should be mandatory for all the CS (all government employees) to disclose the details of their individual social networking account site address to the government like all E mail Id’s, twitter, face book, orcut, google+, what’sup, or any other chatting sites etc; it should be an office for the government employees to use the social networking sites during office timings from office computers or any personal computers or mobiles. (may use only during lunch time from personal mobile phones/ tablet PCs, not from office computers / lap tops); All the CS are barred from using personal tablet PC, Laptops in the office during office working time, as most of the CS waste productive time in chatting in social networking sites or sharing photographs or playing games, literally wasting billions of government money spend on them for getting productive work for the people of the territory not to enjoy the way they like in office?, Also there is potential danger of espionage of government confidential information;  In case any government employee found using the  personal Laptops/ tablet PC or mobiles in office times should lead to disciplinary action. Also it should be mandatory that all government office should have pornographic filters, you tube filter. This measure necessary to prevent waste of valuable working time in government office, as most of the government employee’s watch mostly either pornography or you tube for funny videos, or news etc. These measures will improve concentration on work by the government employees and better quality work output can be achieved.

[52]            MANDATORY FOR ALL CIVIL SERVANTS TO BRIEFLY RECORD THE DETAILS OF ALL OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION

     The civil servants must record the details of the incoming call or purpose of the outgoing call, and the outcome of the call (to ensure judicious use of time of the CS). the same should be made public, except details regarding sensitive issues like security matters, other matters of investigation, secrecy, economic secrecy that will impact/ may lead to black marketing by making it public, such conversations among the officials/ elected representatives should be recorded by the civil servant officially, but not to make public temporarily, but those economic matters should be revealed to public in due course of time for public understating.

     There should be standard guidelines which should be followed by all officials for revealing the information to the public, in case of any doubts the officials should consult their controlling officers to put to the public. All the calls received from the elected representatives for any work should be made public mandatorily by the CS

[53]            MANDATORY TO MAKE PUBLIC THE BRIEF NOTE ABOUT THE LETTERS RECEIVED, LETTERS SENT BY THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE DAILY, EVEN WITHIN THE HIERARCHY, ALL FILE MOVEMENTS WITHIN HIERARCHY SHOULD BE MADE ONLINE WITH EXCEPTION TO SENSITIVE INFORMATION OF SECURITY, ECONOMIC INTERESTS

     The subject of correspondence of various letters made between the government departments and hierarchy in the concerned departments should be made public, all the file movements with thin government hierarchy should be made online with mention of subject  every day, for bringing more accountability and transparency in governance and for understating of public and elimination of middlemen, except the information/ corresponding related to economic interest of the state/ security ; it will enhance the transparency, reduce the lobbying and intermediateries to a great extent.

     It should be made mandatory that all correspondence between the business houses and government officials should be made public, whether they are telephone conversation or personal meeting or written communication, if happens to be competitive let the business houses compete and best should do business with government. This measure will ensure healthy competition, business houses will not get undue favours from the government as their competitors will certainly raise the objections in case of deviations made by the CS, who are eyes &ears of the government, who prepares the policy drafts and influence the ES to a great extent in making the executive decisions by the ER in the government..

[54]            ALL SPECIFIC APPOINTMENTS TO MEET CIVIL SERVANTS ONLY THROUGH ONLINE REQUEST, ALL GENERAL MEETINGS IN OPEN SHOULD BE ON WEEK ENDS

     Also it should be made mandatory that all requests for appointment to the concerned government officials should be through online request (in a standard format  uniform for all ER/CS) in advance with clear mention of the purpose of visit, any grievance, correspondence to their subordinates in the same department, related department etc. The request for appointment should have voter ID card number / PAN no/ passport number mandatory; The government official should go through the requests and forward it to the concerned lower official to deal with it immediately to act up on the grievances and send return compliance report within the stipulated time to the higher CS, and the same should be communicated the petitioner. In case the official feels he/she should provide specific time to the concerned citizen he/should be informed date and time, or advise to visit the general meeting on weekends in case wish to meet the official or else the civil servant should mention the reason for not giving appointment. This should be communicated through e mail or SMS/ phone call to the concerned person who is seeking appointment. This measure is very necessary as it being a fact that appointments with senior civil servants, there are allegations of fixed rates for appointment with CS, which is running from several thousands to several lakhs of rupees based on the rank of the civil servant, all such illegal corruption by middle men can be avoided

[55]            RECEPTION OFFICE AT THE ENTRANCE OF ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICES FOR TAKING PETITIONS AND PROVIDING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO COMMON PUBLIC, CREATION OF COVERED PERMANENT SHADE FOR VISITORS IN THE GOVERNMENT OFFICE

     Also it should be mandatory that all government offices at all places from lowest office at grassroots to highest offices in headquarters in capital cities should have reception cum computer operator at the entrance of the office, to receive any requests for appointments or any petitions of grievances/ requests and provide acknowledgement, for those who who do not have internet facility or not aware of making online/e mail requests/ petitions. It should be mandatory that only on specific appointments the public can enter to government office, in order to ensure better working condition for the government office staff without any disturbance of noise of the visitors.

     The visitors area should have permanent shade to ensure that people who visit the reception office should have enough space to sit have a drinking water facility, public convenience/toilet, after all the government staff is meant to serve the public of that territory and are getting salary from the tax paid money of the public only.  It is criminal negligence on the part of the government not having a covered visitors space with drinking water and toilet facility, after all the expenditure for running the office is from the tax payers money and the same tax payers is left to stay in hot sun/ heavy rain when they visit the office for any redressal of grievance or seeking justice? Also it should be mandatory to plant medicinal value trees in the compound of the government offices, the buildings should be completely surrounded by trees such as neem, eucalyptus etc so that both visitors a well as government staff will get fresh air with medicinal values, can have good health to work better.  

[56]            ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICES SHOULD BE UNDER CC CAMERA AND THE FEED SHOULD BE SHARED AMONG THE HIERARCHY OF THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES AND ALSO TO BE WEB CASTED LIVE. ALSO EQUIPPED WITH BIO METRIC ATTENDANCE

     All the government offices should be installed with CC cameras and the feed should be made live on the web. As it is a fact that in most of the government offices that some of the staff  either sleep during office time in office desk, or some simply chit chatting with one another or some coming late and going early, also some of the staff uses the office computers to play cards / internet games or some even may watch pornography, or some may get engaged in social sites, When election commission can do live web casting of several thousands of polling booths, it is not a difficult task, in fact this measure ensures more responsible behaviour from the CS, it improves quality & quantity of work due to less wastage of time by the staff and CS; this measure enables the people to watch the activities of the government servants, the people of the territory know who are the middlemen in the territory, they can easily identify in case middlemen being entertained by civil servants in the office premises, also this measure enhances the responsibility of the civil servants to attend the office in time, stay in the office in during office time, be more duty bounded and also makes them work more dedicatedly maintaining the decorum of the office. Also this measure improves the work productivity and efficiency. After all the government employees are under public scrutiny directly, it leaves little room for the officers in hierarchy to protect the staff when not working, as they are also monitoring the working staff in their respective offices live, also this measure enables senior officers to guide, take appropriate necessary steps instructing the staff for ensuring better work output.

     In addition all government offices should have bio metric attendance systems to record the entry and exit of the employee to the government office. This measure ensures that all employees come on time and leave on time, in case some employees goes out of office building for any work, they should register in the office out going record the purpose of the visit, whether official or personal, if official did they got permission to go from their superior etc These measures ensure absolute discipline among the government employees.

[57]            ALSO MANDATORY THAT ALL OFFICE CHAMBERS OF THE CIVIL SERVANTS (GROUP B AND ABOVE) SHOULD BE UNDER CC CAMERAS INSTALLED INSIDE THE OFFICER’S ROOMS

     Also all the individual office rooms of the civil servants (all group B officers and above) should have CC cameras and the feed should be recorded and transmitted to the hierarchy (both voice and picture) also should kept for few years (voice and picture), made it live web casting (only picture) and This measure ensures that how much time the civil servant spending with whom in the office, either with the visitors, or staff should be known to the common public, the higher civil servants can assess the quality of the meetings, working style of the their junior colleagues and appropriate necessary instructions / suggestions for improving the quality work output from the junior civil servants by the senior officials. this measure will bring more responsible behaviour of higher civil servants, in utilising the time judiciously, appropriately, delivering quality work, also this measure reduces corruption to some extent, also this measure improves the confidence in the female staff in the office to work confidently while visiting the officer concerned without any fear for any kind of sexual advances or harassment by some perverted officers; in addition all the offices in certain departments which have direct interaction with public, directly effects the public life like police stations, hospitals, land revenue and registration departments, sales tax, income tax department, transport department, secretariat, all the offices should be under live web casting of the  CC cameras, which will certainly reduce the corruption to a maximum extent, as the middle men cannot enter the office desk frequently, also the staff and officer under CC camera watch by the public will work more carefully, no leak of any information will occur to the maximum extent

     Also this measure will ensure while no kind of favouritism, bias can be done to any business individuals or any other individuals has to do conversation in a professional manner by both the civil servants and the visitors. Also it reduces the happening of CS falling trap for the touts/ vested interest who use honeytraps to get the CS fall in line to do corrupt practise favouring a particular individual or business establishments, especially which commonly prevails in revenue departments, especially in case of straight forward officers who do not bend for money, are made to get trapped by honeytrappers, it is usual practice that touts/ business people take along with them beautiful/ pretty / voluptuous looking honeytrappers to the office of the CS, who are mostly hired, pretending them as their personal assistant or working their office etc and introduce to the CS, establish/ make engage in conversations by these honey trappers to get intimacy to the concerned CS by just vanishing from the office room pretending as if there is urgent mobile calls asking the CS to excuse and go out giving more time to the honeytrappers to spend alone with the CS, naturally most of the sex sick male CS fall trap at some point of time to the honey trapper, start engaging with the honey trapper, with in no time the pending work of the individual/ business establishment done (Flouting the rules/ using discretion ), all that favour to the business establishment done by CS will be done at the cost of loss to government for just few minutes of unethical/ illegitimate sexual enjoyment, even cheating their own family at home (most of such CS families are facing acute humiliation, and the children of such CS are more victims of such immoral act of the CS fathers, as these kind of CS who got trapped are neglecting the family and even do not bother to take care of monthly family expenses of legally married family and do not spend time with their children and it appears to theses kind of CS that their own children as big burden, in fact some of the children of these CS are getting perverted / addicted to various wises) and cheating the trust kept on the CS by the public and causing great loss to the public.

     Also in due course these kind of CS are becoming more corrupt than originally corrupt CS in order to maintain the honeytraps (who after some time converted to relationship/extra matrimonial affair) and satisfy their needs (buying luxury items, jewellery, taking them to tours in flights, staying in luxury hotels/ resorts, abroad tours, buying residential houses/ plots/ farm house for honeytraps/ extra matrimonial affair person etc). Also some of the CS who is fallen trap for the honeytrap or having extra matrimonial affairs leaves the office in the office hours in the pretext of office work, or while attending outdoor office work visit these type of houses and get tiredness due to enjoyment in extra matrimonial affair, and on reaching the offices sleeps in the office chair/ anti-room of the office literally wasting precious working time of office, as a result to finish the pending work they have to depend up on the lower staff, the  quality of decision making drastically reduces to lowest/substandard in such cases and the quality of work gets hampered or pendency of work increases.

     Also there are allegations which may be true that some of the CS who has disturbed family life or the lack happiness in the married life due to attitude of spouse or any other reason, try to spend more time with the staff who they feel some liking, in case of male CS they may get attracted to some female staff, in order to get them into their fold they try to spend more time with them in the office and try to trap them luring them with some favours, in case they fall for the trap, they do romance in the office itself, in case the female staff who are with character not fallen trap (majority of the female staff) of the CS, they will face some kind of work harassment by the CS  in the office directly or indirectly, Also in some cases some of the CS hires / appoint on contract bases some young females as private secretaries/ steno and keep in their office room and may indulge in romance in office in due course. In fact these kind of CS are rewriting the “Abraham Maslow’s need hierarchy” by adding sex as ultimate driving need, after all these higher CS who are corrupt get their self esteem needs get fulfilled over a period of time, then for them sexual enjoyment irrespective of their age is the only driving force; even there is very danger that these honeytraps may get/ensponage confidential information from the CS and sell the same for a price in the market, which will adversely affect the economy/ government policy by leaking it prematurely before it becomes policy of the government or even any internal or external security depending up on the position of the CS and place of working of the CS; As such the CC cameras in the CS officers (group B and above) rooms with live web casting is very necessary, which will prevent happening of any illegitimate acts by and large and ensure quality & quantity work with the speed determined by the government.

[58]            MEASURES TO CREATE CONFIDENCE IN PUBIC ABOUT TRANSPARENT WOKING OF IMPORTANT DEPARTMENTS WHERE PUBLIC VISIT DAILY, LIKE POLICE, HOSPITALS ETC BY WEBCASTING LIVE CC CAMERA IMAGES IN THESE GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHMENTS/CENTERS

     Since the departments of government like police, healthcare (hospitals), public distribution centers, where pubic visits daily, which are the departments facing allegation of acute corruption, should be under watch by the public, after all the existing anti corruption mechanisms could not able to prevent the happening of corruption in these departments, causing loss to public. As such CC cameras installed in these offices will ensure these offices will function more effectively and efficiently, the scope for corruption can be minimised, upholding the confidence and trust in the common public

     As such every police station should be equipped with multiple CC cameras and the feed should be recorded and stored for few years, and the feed should be monitored in the district police headquarters. The police stations feed should be made public live, it improves the responsibility on the police officials to act immediately, to record the facts of the complainants accurately, also the complainants may reveal all factual, no fatuitous malicious fabricated compliant against any others will be made, which otherwise will attract criminal proceedings against the complainants for false compliments in due course. Also this measure enables the police to register the case soon the complainants  makes complaint, also the police record exactly what the complainants  alleged/ narrated in case of illiterates who do not able to give written complaint, Also this measure will ensure whatever the evidence provided to the police in the police station will be properly preserved by the police, the police has very marginal scope to collude with the other party to act as intermediaries to compromise the case, or weaken the case by destroying the potential evidence due to vested corrupt interests of the police officials.

     Also this measure ensures women to be treated in the police station with dignity, also women, downtrodden sections and poor can visit police station without fear for being ill-treated, without fear of getting get reverse treatment from police, vouching the accused in case accused belong to wealthy, mighty or having political links; all the recorded feed telecasted should not have voice muted; only pictures should be telecasted.

     This measure also almost completely eradicates political leaders entering the police station premises to free their followers / vested interests without registering FIR in case police caught the aides of ER on account of any suspicion, violation of law & order ensuring FIR not registered against them; also this method reduces the touts visiting the police officials, sitting in the police stations and doing bargaining with the complainants and accused party for compromising the cases at the instance of the police officials will get drastically get reduced.

     Also it should be made mandatory that all the police officials who are on the duty to nab the criminals should hold 3G high end mobile phones with front facing cameras with video conference facility working on different mobile network connections, it should be mandatory that the moment the police official takes into custody the accused person, the police official should immediately take the photo & video of the  accused with head of the team and forward it online immediately within a minute to the district police head quarters. This measure is necessary to eliminate corruption, bargaining in vested interest cases, also eliminates wrong detention without showing the arrest by the local police officials in private places, in case of violation it should attract immediate suspension of the official. Also CC cameras in police stations will eliminate wrong detentions/ illegal detentions.

     Also the CC cameras in the police station should clearly facing the lock up room before taking to court/ police remand will ensure that no individual accused is abused and ill treated and not subjected to beating, third degree treatment with the accused in any crime, let the judiciary will take its course. Also it should be mandatory that all the police custody criminals should be interrogated in presence of a lawyer, for which the accused whether asked for or not depending up on the financial status, there should be trainee lawyers attached to each police station to witness the police interrogation and provide legal advice to the poor accused. All interrogations should be under camera recording only. This measure ensures that the accused in the police custody is fully under the Cameras all the time and not subjected to humiliation, ill treatment, police brutalities and police excess and not subjected to police third degree treatment, not subjected to human rights violation and produced in the court for judicial remand. It is the intelligence way of extracting the information through investigation, mind game of police in the interrogation that can extract information from the accused, correlating the information given by the victim. This measure will certainly eliminate custodial deaths.

     The entire police hierarchy network from SHO/ ACP/DCP/SP/CP/ IG/DGP office should get feed from their respective territorial jurisdiction offices with voice for monitoring of the minute by minute activities in all the police stations in their control, in addition their subordinate official’s offices in the hierarchy to ensure accountability and fixing responsibility in the hierarchy.

     Similarly all the government hospitals should have CC cameras and the feed should be made live web caste, Also the government hospital patient treatment should be computerised, with bar coded prescription pads, the dispensaries should be computerised on par with private pharmacy retailer chains and issue of medicine should be made transparent, the issue of medicine places should be under CC camera watch.  (ref my document ‘health care for all’) Also this method of live web cast of the government hospitals ensures the environment of the hospitals are clean and hygienic, also the staff, doctors attended the hospital duties in accordance to the duty assigned to them, treat patients with care, less room for corruption, negligence. Also it improves the confidence in the poor about getting quality health care in the government hospitals. (bio metric attendance should be mandatory in all government hospitals to ensure daily attendance of the hospital staff and doctors).

     LIVE INTERACTION WITH PATIENTS IN GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS/ VIDEO RECORDED MASSAGE OF THE CONDITION OF PATIENT IN GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS TO ENABLE THEIR RELATIVES KNOW THE CONDITION WITHOUT BEING REACHING TO HOSPITAL BEARING EXPENS OF TRAVEL AND LOSING DAILY EARNING

     Also the government hospitals should have live video interaction with the patents with their relatives in case of operations to the poor patients, alternatively the video recording of the patents condition and one minute talk of the patient attendance should be made up loaded on the web site of the government (every day), to remain on site till the patient get discharged from the hospital. This facility makes the patients relatives need not worry, need not required to visit the city hospitals / district head quarters where the patient is undergoing treatment, but can visit to the local CHC/PHC or nearby internet centre or may view on the hospital site if they have internet facility in their mobile or and interact with their patient after the surgery. Also tablet PC with Video conference facility within the CUG should be supplied to the AMN in the rural areas for telemedicine and also recording the prescription, use of medicine by the patience in remote rural areas to be sent as SMS to the AMN by the doctor.

     Like this all departments of government must be under CC camera surveillance which should be web casted live for public scrutiny, improve efficiency of function of that department. The departments like defence, intelligence, etc should have CC cameras, but should be exempted from live web casting, however the CC cameras should record and transmit voice and picture within the office hierarchy live and the feed should be stored for 6 years to ensure the staff will work more professionally.

[59]            SPECIFIC LIST OF PROGRAMMES/ FUNCTIONS A CIVIL SERVANT CAN ATTEND WHILE IN SERVICE

     It is very necessary to fix a list of programmes that CS can attend while in service, only functions related to the field of the civil servant where he/ she working can be permitted, the CS are barred from attending private functions like marriages, birth days etc other than family members declared in family tree; even for attending these private functions the CS has to apply leave in case attending during working hours. If the CS wish to attend any function of other than family members, he/ she should inform in writing about the need for attending such function, take permission in the hierarchy,  If CS wishes to attend any functions of any ER/ friends they should do so in his/her personal capacity by applying leave, in addition the CS should follow the fixed uniform guidelines for attending the functions,  CS are barred from using government machinery, government vehicle for attending any private functions, no private function should be attended while in working hours while in duty, this measure is necessary as even CS are becoming more or less like ER attending the opening ceremonies of business establishments, or attending some NGO’s function in the name of cultural events or functions conducted by touts/ big fixers who otherwise pretended to be so called socialites,  which were conducted by close aides of ER or attended by ER, in order to please the ER or get intimacy by meeting ER regularly. These are leads for corrupt practices are breeds touts around the CS over a period of time. Also the working time of CS was fully paid from government to do service to people and not for attending functions wasting public money?

[60]            CIVIL SERVANTS SHOULD BE  BARRED TO CARRY GOVERNMENT FILES TO RESIDENCES

     Also it should be mandatory that civil servant should be barred from carries the official government files to residence, all government work should be done in office only, by and large all government offices should close at standard time, this measure will enhance work culture, work discipline, it also reduces the happening of corruption, as some of the CS carrying the files to the home are making the files available to the mix fixers / middle men who can influence their political bosses, for corrupt money / fixing deals, also at the same time some sincere CS work at home extra hours making their family life miserable, these kind of situations can be avoided, by barring the CS carrying files to residence, if the work load is more on a particular CS, then let there be more junior CS  attached to his office to do the work in the office only and ensure everyone will do justice to the position and the salary they are receiving, no need for some CS to work more number of hours than what is  paid for. Common public do not expect the CS to work like cogs in oil mills. They wish CS also lead a pretty decent family life.  The CC cameras in the rooms of the CS reveals if they are keeping any files in brief case or carrying any files. This measure also ensures the CS can lead better family life, by spending more time with family; also this reduces extra matrimonial affairs of CS due to more time spending at home, which makes the CS work more efficiently due to stress, more happiness in family life, ultimately leading delivery of effective and efficient work in office. Also closing office in standard timing by and large except during any emergencies, will also reduce the wastage of power consumption, reduces electricity bills. In case of more work load, government should increase number of CS (recruit more) to ensure each CS at the apex in the respective territory will have equal work load, irrespective of volume of population of people/business.

[61]            MANDATORY FOR ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICES TO GET COMPUTERISED, ALL FILES MOVEMENT FROM ONE LEVEL TO OTHER SHOULD BE MADE ONLINE IN THE WEB, (MIS) WITH FIXED TIME FRAME FOR FILE CLARENCE AT EACH LEVEL

     Also it should be ideal to make a fixed time frame for each official to hold any file in the government in each level in the office hierarchy, all file movement should be made online on the website of that particular government department to ensure no kind of need for “speed money” to be paid by the individuals, no official can sit on the file for more than specified time else need to give explanation for holding the file in writing which should be made public online for understating of the individual whose file is withheld, This measure eliminated middle men to a great extent and more transparency, accuracy in government work takes place.

[62]            MINIMIZING OCCURRENCE OF CORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENT TRANSPORT FACILITY TO THE CIVIL SERVANTS

     Also the vehicles provided by the government to the civil servants should be equipped with GPRS and the positioning of the vehicle should be visible to all the other civil servants in the hierarchy; also the drivers should be provided with tablet PC and the drivers should maintain “e log book” with mention of starting kilometres of the day, the end kilometres, the places visited, whether the government servant travelled or empty travel, reason for empty travel, online every day made on the web; this measure will certainly ensure government vehicles are used for official government purpose only and not for use of family members of the civil servant (for dropping and pick up their children from educational institutions and sports / extra circular activities or taking the spouse of the civil servant for shopping or attending functions or kitty parties, after the civil servant got dropped in office or for buying groceries/ shopping by the civil servant or the driver at the order of the civil servant or their family members.

     All the government drivers should work only during office hours; all extra duty of the driver in case needed by the CS should record the reason for extra time of the driver, of course with the consent of driver to stay extra time. i.e extra time the CS remaining in office; Also this measure ensures that all the CS adhere to working hours of the office by and large, making the civil servants work mostly within the government office official timings, unless otherwise required during any specific requirements or in case of any emergency, and ensure the civil servants lead good family life, spend quality time with children and family by adhering to office timings and finishing the work in the office time only.

[63]            DISTRICT WISE “GOVERNMENT VEHICLE MAINTENANCE & REPAIR CENTRES”; ALL GOVERNMENT VEHICLES MUST GET MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR AT THESE CENTRES.

     It is very necessary in order to save lot of public money being looted in the name of vehicle maintenance and repair by government employees as such there should a district vehicle repair & maintenance centre (a government owned company) at the district headquarters in every district in the country, and all government vehicles of state government, central government and PSU, in the district used by  CS should get repair only in this government operated vehicle repair centre. This measure will certainly reduce the happening of corruption in government vehicles maintenance and repair, as the government vehicles are usually get repair at the private vehicle repair centre, and the cost of the repair is usually high, in addition there are mark ups, but the limited budget allocation for the vehicle repair, so with the knowledge of the CS who is entitled to use the government vehicle the lower staff make adjustment in other office expenses and ensure in the cash for the repair at the private repair center is provided all with the knowledge of the CS (Group B and above officers).  Also in most of the cases the CS just may not travel more than 10 to 20 Km, per day, the fuel use shown as much more and the same cash obtained from government is used for maintenance, also in departments lice police, strange things the CS make, they issue approx 120 litres of fuel per month, where as the patrolling vehicle with just 10 km average millage, has to make at least 120 km per day, which means the fuel issued to the vehicle is just sufficient for 10 days, then the remaining days, the police people will get from money for the fuel by extorting from the road side hawkers or do some deals in cases and fill the petrol, as they are answerable to the hierarchy, when the CS (group B and above) in police hierarchy pretty well aware of this kind of things, but still knowingly allow them to carry on? As such the government vehicle maintenance and repair centre will reduce happening of corruption to some extent. 

     Also the government must maintain 10% of the total vehicles strength of total government vehicles as spare vehicles, in case of any vehicle of any government servant moves to government vehicle repair center shed for any major repair, and then spare vehicle should be replaced with vehicle allocated to the CS. All government whether state or center should purchase uniform model of vehicles with same CC, engine capacity, etc, also all the vehicles should first go to the official repair center of the vehicle brand during the guarantee / warranty period. (Otherwise now a days the CS are purchasing the luxury vehicles in the absence of fixed specifications and models, only giving the upper limit of the budget.  What the CS are doing they are getting the quotations from the dealers of the luxury vehicles of the basic model at discounted price (price managed by paying some amount other than bill) that fit into the budget. They are adjusting the price through some other administrative expenses. This kind of petty corruption is more in government corporations, PSU, where the CS is the HOD, In fact when the government vehicles are Non A/C, some of the CS adjust the administrative expenses and makes the A/C and luxury accessories in the vehicle.) by making uniform guidelines for purchase of vehicle these kind of petty corruption can be controlled. Otherwise all this is nothing but petty corruption by the CS thus making other staff to follow the precedence of CS in other manner.

     All government vehicles should have periodic timely servicing made, which should be recorded in the history of vehicle. All accidents should be recorded, small dents should be replaced, but major repairs the driver should be made accountable and suitable official punishment should be imposed like cut in the increment etc.. also in case government department do not have vehicles, or funds in the government department, such government department should hire vehicles only from government, for this the government vehicles maintenance center should make a carpooling from private vehicle owners belonging to SC , ST, Minority, OBC, EBC who purchased vehicles through bank loan, the concerned government department wanting a vehicle should sent a request for hiring vehicle from the carpool, then the government allocated such vehicle, and the payment should be made to the government vehicle department handling the carpool.  Otherwise most of the CS are hiring the vehicles from the private car travels and paying the amounts for limited travel of the CS and rest of the time they make use the vehicle for the use by the family of the CS. Also government providing hired vehicle frm the government pool will eliminate the small time corruption, favouritism of CS using private vehicles of known people.

     Also it should mandatory that whenever any officials in hierarchy visits the district to any government office from headquarters or any enquiry commission members or assembly/ parliament standing committee members or any other government functions or visits of ministers or any dignitaries to that district, the vehicles from the government pool belonging to SC ST, MINORITY, OBS, EBC only should be hired. This measure will ensure regular work/earning for the self employed vehicle owners belonging to downtrodden sections. Also all the drivers driving government vehicles should get periodic tests for health as well skills for ensuring perfect driving.

     Also the government vehicles must go to scrap after the depreciation period is over i.e when the vehicle completes seven years from the date of purchase of vehicle or based on number of kilometres done. Also there should be mobile vehicle repair units to move to the place of the government vehicle to do small time repairs.

     The above measure of district wise government vehicle repair center will saves lot of money to the government exchequer, also ensures the government drivers derive carefully, also the CS will have the vehicle at the disposal all the time without getting effect to functioning of day to day work, also it provides employment to near about 100 people, so in 640 districts it provides employment to near about 60, 000 people. Also in case to earn more revenues, the spare time of the employees can be best used by providing some discount to servicing, repair and maintenance of the government employees personal vehicles, elected representatives personal vehicles, this will certainly provide additional revenues to the government; all vehicle repair centres should be under CC camera and are fully computerised and modern repair centre on par with company owned maintainer centres with latest technologies for repair. The inventory of spare parts and issue of spare parts should be computerised based on the data of the population of the vehicles and type of vehicles, the inventory of spares can be maintained. The vehicle repairs/ servicing can be viewed by the vehicle owners. All removed spares are kept in store to ensure that the repairs are made accurately and spares are used judiciously.

[64]            PROTECTION OF DIGNITY OF LABOUR OF LOWER STAFF IN GOVERNMENT DRIVERS, PEONS ETC; CRIMINAL OFFICE TO UTILISE GROUP D GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES FOR PRIVATE WORKS AT RESIDENCE ETC BY CS.

     Also it should be mandatory that ER & CS drivers should be barred from carrying the luggage of the ER/CS, the duty of the driver is to drive the vehicle only, certainly not to carry the files / brief case or lunch boxes of the ER/CS from /to the residence/office. similarly the office peons are meant to carry out the duty to carry the files / assist the office staff/ CS and not to carry the luggage of the ER/CS from the vehicle of the ER/CS at office office porch / office entrance where vehicle of the CS reaches to office room or from office room to vehicle of the CS. Banning drivers/ peons carrying the personal belongings of the CS will up hold the dignity of the lower staff like drivers and peons, (after all the drivers and peons are enjoy the same rights laid in the constitution that CS are enjoying, dignity of labour to be up hold-ed, CS are not specially born?, to get pampered, the lower staff not paid from government revenues to pamper the CS or do servitude?, nor the lower staff is a bonded labour of the CS to be used by the CS at his/her will & wish) also the CS should be made to get habituated to carry their own luggage,  so that they carry minimum luggage with them from home to office and office to home.  The CC cameras at the entrance of the office, in the office halls, corridors, CS rooms ensure that the CS behave themselves, treat the staff, especially the lower staff with dignity.

     Also it should be criminal offence for making government employees working un authorisdly in the residence or any other place of CS as house maid’s, cooks, helpers, gardeners, etc etc except with the allotment by government offically, as it is a common practice in mufficals (rural areas/ semi urban areas) and to some extent in urban areas that the CS use the government lower staff to work in their home assisting their family/wife, in home cleaning, washing, cooking, gardening, doing outdoor activities like going to market etc. Especially this can be seen in police and revenue departments from Sub inspector onwards in police, and in revenue department from MRO onwards.  As such by making it a criminal offence for diverting government employee for private work, the dignity of labour being protected, in addition the government can use the services of such group D employees effectively elsewhere. Government is paying salary for the group D employee not to do servitude to the CS.

[65]            PERSONAL STAFF OF CIVIL SERVANTS LIKE DRIVERS, PEONS, AND PERSONAL ASSISTANT/SECRETARY SHOULD BE CHANGED PERIODICALLY

     Also it should be mandatory that all civil servants personal staff must be changed every one year, and the drivers should be changed every three months from within the available drivers in the department or government in that territory/ district; this measure is necessary as most of the weakness of the civil servants are known to the drivers, as such most of the civil servants carry with them the drivers and personal staff where ever they go to different postings, who are carriers of corrupt money in revenue department/ excise department, police department etc etc, also in general mostly in the event of when the civil servant has extra matrimonial affairs (living together with other women, even when legally married wife, children at home exists at home), all such cases the money, the day to day affairs at illegitimate relationship homes were taken care by these trusted/ confident drivers and their personal staff (these kid of CS do on and off some favours/ exhibit some lenience towards the drivers and personal staff to be at their disposal). As such by frequently changing the dtivers and personal staff of the CS will yield better results, as the fear of being exposed at some point by any of the driver or personal staff will lead the CS to lead reduction of corruption, as not every driver and personal staff are get tuned to the way the CS wishes to use them for fulfilling his personal life needs.  

[66]            MANDATORY DECLARATION BY CS EVERY MONTH IN HAND RIGHTING THAT THEY DO NOT INDULGE IN BIOGAMY, EXTRA MATRIMONIAL AFFAIRS, LIVE IN RELATIONSHIP, PROSTITUTION, DO NOT INDULGE IN CONSENSUAL SEX, BEING A MARRIED PERSON

     It should be mandatory for every CS to give a hand written affidavit that he/she is not involved in extra matrimonial affair/ prostitution. This measure is very necessary in order to ensure that the CS conduct is perfect and not indulging in illegitimate acts being in government service. Violation of the declaration should be criminal offence, as these king of perverted / distorted personal conduct of CS  leads to loss of peace of mind, no dedicated work in office, decision making will effect, quality and quantity of work will get reduced, as they have to over dependence on the subordinate staff, sometimes just leave the decision making to subordinates and just approves whatever the decision the subordinates taken and also mostly leads to corruption, as such those indulge in unethical and illegitimate acts should be removed from service.  

 

[67]            DISTRICT WISE GOVERNMENT OPERATED ELECTRONIC DEVICES MAINTENANCE & REPAIR CENTER

     In order to ensure all the CC cameras function, the accurate flow of web casting happen without any kind of loss of video/audio, there should be district wise centres to maintain/repair the electronic devices at district headquarters. The center should be with the CC TV repair centres, electricians, electronic technicians, the web casting computer operators etc, in order to ensure that all the CC cameras installed in the government offices and residences of CS function with 99.99% real time performance,  with 0.01% off time, to ensure this the CC cameras should have at least 24 hours power back up, where ever possible solar power back up, the CC cameras feed should be monitored in every district by experts, in case of any CC camera is off line, immediately the CC camera should be repaired/ rectified, the cause of the offline of the CC camera should be recorded, in case of deliberate mischief by the staff or any individual, the same should be liable for punishment, it should be the duty of the individual CS / DDO of the office to ensure the CCTV are online 24/7, 365 days without any sabotage from the CS/ office staff side.

     This measure not only providing near about 100 jobs for the un employed skilled youth per district which means over 60,000 jobs in the country, it also ensures increase in work performance of the CS and also it reduces the corruption to some extent. 

    

[68]            GOVERNMENT VIDEOGRAPHERS TO RECORD ALL RAIDS/ INSPECTIONS BY VARIOUS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS

     The district electronic devices maintenance enters should train youth in videography, with high powered quality hand held videography equipment from government, in appropriate numbers. These trained Videographers  should be utilised by all the government departments conducting surprise inspections/checks, conducting raids like raids by sales tax department, Excise department of state government, central government, income tax department, state legal metrology department, food and sanitation inspectors, electricity department for catching excess consumption/ no meter consumption of power directly from power lines without government meter etc,. The government departments  should in advance inform the electronics department of the district to procure the videographers in required numbers, the videographers should travel along with the inspection team, start shooting the video soon the concerned official instructs them soon after reaching the premises of the inspecting / raid place, it should be mandatory, soon the vehicle stops at the premises of the client, the videographers should start shooting the video of the officers getting down from vehicle to entering the premises, the stock counting, the inspection/ seizure of account books, the staff working in the premises, the surrounding atmosphere etc, as per the points/ parameters that are required by each department. The videographers must be trained to shoot what are relevant,  the video starting time should be correlated with the GPRS positioning of the government vehicle stopped at the premises of the client to the return of the staff to the vehicle, soon after entering the vehicle, the videographers should up load the same to the concerned government department headquarters site, after it was up loaded, the video recorded chip should be handed over to the concerned officer heading the raid team, (there should be some computer security measures in place to ensure that videographers uploading should not copy the recorded video, for this ideal that the raid team to carry an official laptop with high speed internet or they should up load the same at the office with dedicated leased lines of internet in the district office headquarters) also all the vehicles that carrying the CS for suprise checks should be fitted with CC cameras with voice recording inside the vehicle; this measure will certainly yield better results in the raids/ searches as the actual conditions cannot be altered by any official either lower CS or higher CS and the business people will ensure practice/adhere to legitimate business norms, also pay taxes properly, also ensure no manufacturing or business employees child labour, have exact number of employees as shown in the employee’s salary books, employees are paid the ESI, PF etc; or the manufacturing standards maintained, all goods produced is shown in the books of account and brought in tax net, etc the scope for corruption / discretion of higher CS is reduced drastically, as managing the CS / government officials is difficult once the raid occurs in case of discrepancies found in the business premises. The fear for caught and paying penalty improves the taxes, quality & quantity maintenance by the business establishments. Which improves revenues to the government drastically and the same status can be maintained.

[69]            GOVERNMENT VIDEOGRAPHERS FOR STING OPERATIONS BY COMMON PUBLIC TO NAB THE BRIBE SEEKERS

     Also the government videographers can be hired by common public, in case of the common people are forced to pay bribes by corrupt government officials in the outdoors, out of office building (any territory like coffee shops, restaurants or in open places within the office compound or any other place) to get the corrupt officials caught red handed through video, in case the corrupt official was caught red handed really demanding bribe/ taking bribe for doing favour (there should be special codes to be embedded in the video recording for ensuring ethnicity, of course there should be government labs to testify the authenticity of voice and picture), the official charges will be returned to the individual, in addition a reward for getting trapping a corrupt official, in case found wrong that with malafied intension the individual common person with personal grudge made the official to take money which was offered as loan was wrongly made as bribe, when the official do not hold any authority to help the individual or the middle men do not have any link to the official concerned whom was alleged by the bribe giver, then the bribe giver/the person who called the government videographer for sting operation should be liable for punishment, also similarly in case of any misuse / collision of the vediographer and any individual, indulging in blackmailing or extortion from any government servant or leaking the information to media before or after it reaches to the vigilance department of the concerned department, then both culprits are liable for rigorous punishment, which should be a non-bail-able offence. This measure will yield excellent results, create fear psychic in corrupt officials and they may not indulge in corrupt practices/ bribes/ “speed money” to move the files faster

    

[70]            PERMANENT GOVERNMENT VIDEOGRAPHERS IN EVERY POLICE STATION TO RECORD ALL THE OUT DOOR ACTIVITIES OF POLICE

     Also it should be mandatory that each police station in the district should have minimum two videographers sent on duty from the district videography centre, the videographer should be a trained police, should accompany the police party on raid duty to nab any criminal or arrest any individual with warrant at hand of the concerned police official, the videographer should start shooting the video soon the vehicle stops near the place of the criminal/ accused and soon the police getting down from the vehicle and ensure all the events are recorded, in case the police nabs the criminal, this measure ensures police will not use abusive language or use roughing up / beating the accused, or no chance of not searching the premises properly to nab the accused in case of high profile criminals or accused belong to elite/ upper echelon / influential family or belonging to some political party or elected representative to evade arrest and try to get compromise with the complainant or surrender before court, etc  video should be recorded in the  vehicle till the accused brought to the police station where the police station is under CC camera surveillance, this measure ensures right of the accused are safe guarded and all police excess/ police biased approach got curtailed and there is every possibility to nab the accused How big influential he/she may be and the trail will be made as per standard judicial norms and no accused gets ill-treatment or special treatment. The pending cases in courts will get cleared fast due to fast / accurate investigation. Also this measure ensures all disputes are solved accurately and speedily.

[71]            ENERGY SAVING DEVICES & ENERGY AUDIT OF ALL GOVERNMENT RESIDENCES AND GOVERNMENT OFFICES

     Also all the government offices and residences of CS and ER should be equipped with energy saving devices of standard quality, also all large government office establishments should use solar power to save regular power consumption, also all government offices in rural areas, all hospitals, all police stations, post offices, banks etc should use solar power to full extent so that the work is not hampered by regular power cuts or no power; also there should be periodic energy audits in all government offices and residences of CS and ER who are staying in government houses for ensuring improving in energy saving/ energy efficiency. Also there should be fixed limit of usage/ consumption of fixed units of power for ER / CS staying in government residences, beyond the standard units all excess units consumed should be charged from the ER /CS, auto deducted from salary. This measure is necessary as government offices and government residences are consuming lot of power, lot of waste of power is occurring. Also there should be  timer devices, auto cut off devices using thermal radiation detection to detect the non presence of person and the devices like lights, fans, air conditioners should be auto off when the person is not sitting for more than few minutes, with minimum lighting to ensure the room is not dark in all government offices; also it should be ideal to remodel all government offices to ensure maximum natural day light is present in the office for maximum time, minimum use of electricity only during rainy days, cloudy days/ thick winters.

[72]            MANDATORY THAT ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICE CLOSES AT STANDARD TIME, EXCEPT DURING EMERGENCIES

     Also implementing closing government offices at standard office timings, will yield lot of benefits. It ensures not only energy saving, but also that no kind of illegal activities takes place in the office compounds, also  occurrence of  quality work out put will exist. In most of the government office establishments, as it is an open fact some of the offices where there is scope for earning bribes, corrupt money in departments like revenue, state land and property registration excise, sales tax, income tax, transport department or in many other departments, the important staff will work out of office hours to ensure their illegal/ illegitimate / corrupt activities takes place smoothly, by calling the clients/ touts/ middle men to their office and show the files, the progress of clearance of work at their desk etc and get bribes (it is a common practice by clerical staff and section officers etc who are indulging in corruption to call the person to their office  and make them sit near to their table desk and slightly open the desk of the table, pre instruct the person i.e either the client/ tout/ middlemen to drop the cash/ cash kept in envelope in the desk,  not only this some of the staff indulging in consumption of alcohol, smoking in office premises on their desk, consumption food on their desk, etc making a mess of the office, spoiling the office atmosphere, dignity, decorum of government office, creating the office as their private entertainment centre, in addition to wasting several thousands of units of power for making entire office get illuminated with lights consuming several units, the air conditioners running for extra hours for just less than 10% of the staff staying in the office for delaying the office work, working in out of standard office timings hours. By ensuring strict closure of office on all working days, except during any emergencies, also mandatory closure of office on all government holidays, except during emergencies, not only ensures reduction of corruption, also reduces wasteful expenditure on the power consumed.

[73]            DAILY DAIRY BY THE CIVIL SERVANTS (GROUP B AND ABOVE, ALL SHO & ABOVE IN POLICE, EXCISE, ETC)

     Also it should be made mandatory to be disclosed in the daily dairy of the civil servants when the civil servant meets any person, whether in office or outside, the utilisation of time (from entering the office to leaving the office) should be made in daily dairy, this measure is necessary in order to ensure better utilisation of time by the CS in a very professional manner, doing justice to the position he/she holding, serving the people the best manner.

     The daily dairy of the Group B and above officers should be made available online to the public every day, with exceptions to persons in investigation and defence, intelligence etc in sensitive postings. Also the SHO / police dairy should be shared only within the police hierarchy, But all the CS daily dairy should be submitted in the CS hierarchy every day.

     This measure will certainly make the CS work efficiently and effectively with timely delivery of quality work, as this daily dairy should be used for work appraisal/ gauze the performance of the CS for promotions. This measure of daily dairy is a big boon for dedicated CS who need not retire to please their bosses to get good appraisal or some section of CS (mostly dalit and tribal CS) need not required to fear that the other caste CS who are their bosses deliberately keep their performance apprise low or somehow make them not get promotions due to pathetic hater ate for the dalits and advivasis by some of the perverted little wisdom senior CS.

[99]            DETAILS OF VISITS TO RESTAURANTS BY THE INDIVIDUAL AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS

     Also the civil servants need to disclose the visits of restaurants by themselves and their family members, as most of the civil servants spent their corrupt money in the luxury five star restaurants, five star spas, five star jims etc;  also it is a fact most of the corrupt civil servants are addicted to branded liquor, mostly fall for foreign liquor, such they do anything for foreign liquor, as such the middle men take them to five star bar and restaurants and gives them parties/treats with several thousands of  rupees of bills per visit, several visits  and gets  their work done (of course most these type of civil servant make use of such middlemen, en-cash the weakness of such smart middlemen and pretend/do little work for them, but there may be a danger in this process the civil servants un knowingly revel certain secrets which the middle men without knowing to the civil servants use them to get their booty through one or other manner); as such it should  be mandatory that all civil servants should disclose the visits of restaurants, with whom they are visiting, what is the expenditure of the visit, who bared the expenditure etc; also the civil servants should declare whether they are alcoholic or not, whether they possess wine/ IMFL, expensive foreign liquor bottles (single molt, decades of old, the cost depends upon the numbers years of old like 10, 20, 30 years old etc, each bottle costing several thousands, some in lakhs of rupees) at home, how they got, when they purchased, what is the cost of purchase, if got gift from others, from whom they got the gift, what is the relation between the gift giver and civil servants, what is the profession of the gift giver, are any one in the family has any business/ taken any favour from the civil servant earlier or lobbied for the relative/ request of the gift giving person with any of his batch-mates or other civil servants etc; also some of the civil servants spends several thousand on acquiring foreign liquor worth thousands / lakhs per month?

[101]        ALMOST SAME STANDARDS AS CS TO BE FOLLOWED BY JUDICIARY OFFICIALS (JO)

     Also in order to bring down the corruption, it should be made mandatory that all judiciary officials from lowest court to supreme court, and various other law officials in various government must mandatorily educate their children in government schools/collages or deposit in government two times fee for what they are paying for their single child for educating them in private educational institute  for adopting the two downtrodden children and getting them study in private schools; also the judiciary officials must mandatorily get treatment only in government hospitals and follow the procedure as was a civil servants follows., also the JO should declare the family tree, the assets, expenditure, growth formula of assets of immediate family members (even though most of the JO are by and large non corrupt, but it is fact that where there is discretion there exists corruption, and some of the Ex-JO openly admit that Judiciary is the one of the most corrupt sector in India) as such the above measure will bring more trust and confidence in JO in the country, up hold the respect towards JO.

    

     Also JO should be accountable to the people, it should be mandatory that all Judicial proceedings should be posted court wise on the website,(already there are E courts in existence posting the dates of the hearing etc), also all the orders of all courts in the country granted payrole, bail or set aside, acquitted or convicted in different cases, so that people will understand the circumstances that JO granted payrole, bail or set aside or acquitted or convicted. This measure will ensure removal of notion among the common people that JO are not biased towards elite/ upper echelons in society in granting bails to mighty and powerful / celebrities, but equally treat all sections. 

     As such rather than shielding themselves in the name of enquiry within themselves or if any one questions the JO treating as ‘contempt of court’ etc etc is not at all acceptable in democratic governance, after all JO officers are also receiving salary and all other expenditure for house, vehicle etc from the government exchequer, which is an accumulation of taxes paid by all sections of people directly/ indirectly?, as per rule of natural law, law of the land all are equal and only JO are exercising the rights to judge by virtue of training to do so, and certainly no JO is above any individual in the country as far as humanity is concerned? As such all JO should first come forward in ensuring all members of Judiciary fraternity to declare family tree, assets of individual and immediate family members (including married children) and other details such as in case as a lawyer they themselves or their family members collected fees did they given receipt for the lawyer fees, did the payments received in bankers cheque/ all receipts above Rs 20,000, also did all purchases made above Rs 20, 000 are declared to the government etc etc. To set precedence for others ER/CS to follow to bring the change, prevent corruption, recover the corrupt wealth and make sustained inclusive growth of all sections.

[102]        NEED FOR KEEP A WATCH ON THE PROPERTIES PURCHASED/ ASSETS POSSESSED BY CIVIL SERVANTS AND THE FAMILY TREE OR THEIR CLOSE AIDES, INFORMATION GATHERING IN THE LOCAL AREA BASED ON THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN PUBLIC DOMAN

     It is for the NGO’s and Common people to keep a watch on the properties acquired by the civil servants and their kin kith and relatives by seeing their family tree especially in the city, and native place of the civil servants and elected representatives. This measure will certainly bring the desired results over a period of time.

     Also it is fact that most of the civil servants purchase the properties where they have done service during their tenure, if they worked in a city then the properties like residential plot, residential house, apartment, commercial plot, commercial constructed space in a shopping complex, or a farm house, a farm land in the vicinity of the city where there is scope for expansion in future etc, similarly if done a district posting mostly the purchases will be agriculture land in that district where done work, else the corrupt money will be used to purchase the properties in home town, city capital or their family members mostly their brother in laws from wife side or their parents,  if a civil servant done 10 postings in different places in cities/districts, head quarters all the places are need to be examined by the citizens who are going to join hands for the elimination of corruption and recovering the corrupt earnings by the civil servants.

     It should be the duty of the NGO’s and people to do proper enquiry in the respective territories of areas of residence of members of family tree of the CS, the place where CS worked, the native village/district/capital of the home town of the civil servant and there in laws, at the place of living of the parents, in laws in case the CS working in different states, also in the place of living of BIL/SIL (brother in law/ sister in law of the CS, mostly from wife side of male CS) as it is a possibility of the acquiring properties in such places, in addition when there is any government announcements for SEZ’s, / any town ships, any layouts by government etc, any kind of development activities government initiated/ happening such places civil servants and their kin and kith acquire properties, as prior information will be with the civil servants, they buy individually or in cartel. Also there is possibility of civil servants deal with business people who also has real estate or construction related activities either by their companies or their sister concerned then there might be possibility of doing some favour in granting permissions for industries or power or water etc and in exchange they may get property at concessional rate in their name of their immediate family members name. The lower CS and staff should reveal such details, or alternatively public can find out  from the data of owners of the properties viz, residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural land in all states once made on line and data being synchronized, name wise, it will reveal lot  of un accounted properties, also this makes the corrupt people being brought to justice. (Also it should be mandatory that government must integrate the data of house hold survey of the census statistics, also the details of municipal tax, water tax, electricity meters to arrive at the details of ownership of the house hold each wad wise, mandal/block wise, district wise, state wise, also synchronize based on the same surname)

MEASURES FOR CORRECTING FLAWS IN THE SYSTEMS TO BRING STANDARDS TO THE GOVERNMENT RUN INSTITUTIONS

[103]        EDUCATION: ER & CS SHOULD MANDATORILY GET THEIR CHILDREN STUDY IN GOVERNMENT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

     Also it should be made mandatory that the children of all elected representatives and civil servants (group B and above) should be educated in government educational institutions till degree. In case of  the elected representatives or civil servant do not have children or if having children and already studying in private schools and colleges or in case want their children to be educated only in private schools/ collages/ universities, then they should adopt minimum of two children from the downtrodden sections (not their relatives or their own community people, or people working with them) by lottery allotment from government in their territory or elsewhere in the district/state/country from among the downtrodden children studying in government welfare hostels and pay for the education in private school/ collage with fees equal to the private school/college fee of their children, the fees should be paid to government through an auto deduction from their salary the amount which equal to two times the fee of their single child which they are paying for the private school, and make them study in private school/collage/university where their children are studying.

     Also it should be made mandatory that all the government school/collage staff, including school teachers, assisting staff, administrative staff must mandatorily get their children educated in the government schools/ colleges and universities without any relaxation (to get educate in private educational institutions), get their children study only in government schools/collages. This measure will certainly improve the government educational institutions infrastructure, quality of teaching, as the children of the Elite / upper echelons are studying. 

     Also it should be made mandatory that all private educational institutions must reserve as per percentage of population of income groups in that district, i,e % of BPL. Low income, Middle income and Higher income group, and the fee structure should be differential as per income group i.e there should be four types of fee structure, with lowest/ nominal fee for BPL families, slightly higher than BPL fee for Low income group, Moderate fee for middle income group and high fee for higher income group, and the higher income group fee should be in such a manner that it will absorb the fee to balance the total fee per child covering all groups, in case the higher income group feels that fees is too high they should join their children in government schools and government collages (there should be fixed salaries for teaching profession both at government as well as in private educational institutions based on the qualification, years of experience and qualifying tests from time to time on skills, and based on the minimum expenses for running private educational institute after adding all administrative expenses and cost of construction/ depreciation of buildings/ fixtures / infrastructure, the private educational institution should gain maximum 4% profit, all private educational institutions following proportionate allocation of seats as per income group should be exempted from all taxes) ; this measure is a WIN WIN for both people of different income group and private educational establishment.

[104]        HEALTH CARE: ER & CS SHOULD GET TREATMENT MANDATORILY IN GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS

     Also it should be mandatory that all the elected representatives and all the civil servants must get treatment for illness of themselves and their family members in government hospitals only. And in case the government hospitals do not have facilities / expertise then only such cases should be referred by the local doctors to go to another nearby government hospital where such required facilities are in existence or in case of emergency then may refer to any private hospital having such required facilities. In case of health care there should not be any concession, but for sure the elected representatives and civil servants and their dependents must get treatment mandatorily in government hospitals only. This measure ensures quality medical facilities and treatment occurs in government hospitals, also the availability of doctors will be assured.

     Also it should be mandatory that all elected representatives should mandatorily donate their organs after their death, also all elected representatives should donate blood one time every year during the tenure as elected representative, in case elected representative is suffering from any chronic diseases or with some health issues which he/she cannot donate blood, then they can substitute it with their immediate family members on behalf of them. After all the ER if not able to donate their organs after death, or blood which gets replenished naturally once in 90 days after donation, then what is the meaning of telling big big words by ER telling that their lives are dedicated/ meant only for the betterment of / in service of the people, especially the downtrodden, (who cannot afford the purchase of blood/ organs)?. All the quantity of blood donated/ organs donated by ER should mandatorily use for treatment of the downtrodden. Also it should be ideal that in private hospitals to allocate beds, as per percentage of income groups, with differential rates for services based on the income groups, let this time the higher income group people wait for the beds to get vacant rather than the poor wait, else the higher income group can travel abroad, of course in case of emergency irrespective of income group they can get treatment, after all heath care should be for all irrespective of income group. Else the higher income group/elite should visit any government hospital for treatment.

[105]        CREATION OF SOCIAL AWARENESS BY CIVIL SERVANTS AND ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES BY SPENDING FEW HOURS ON WEEKENDS IN SOCIAL SERVICE IN THEIR TERRITORY

     Also it should be mandatory that all elected representatives and civil servants should spend few hours on weekends in their territorial jurisdiction for creation of social awareness and conduct programmes like cleaning the surroundings in one village, colony / ward etc, conducting health awareness programmes,  legal rights awareness programme etc every weekend as a regular programme, so that the citizens will participate and get social awareness and be part of the social change.

[106]        STANDARD UNIFORM FOR ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES; ALSO ALL ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SHOULD WEAR THE RESPECTIVE TERRITORIES STANDARD TRADITIONAL UNIFORM.

     Also it should be mandatory that all government employees should have a standard uniform (as decided by the government of the state without any harm to the traditions, customs), it should be mandatory that all government employees wear the uniform on all working days, with option to wear informal casual dress on weekend, which should be a product of handloom of the local tradition. This measure will certainly enhance the working atmosphere and create uniform thinking, unity among the government employees, since all employees irrespective of hierarchy wear the clothes made with same material, also there will not be any kind of dis satisfaction among non corrupt employees, as everyone wears the same, otherwise in the absence of uniform, the corrupt wear expensive clothes, jewellery to the office,   which will get the non corrupt to feel dissatisfied.

     All the elected representatives should mandatorily wear the respective traditional clothes of daily ware of the territory they represent. This measure will certainly improve interpersonal relation with the people of the territory.

    

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE THE FOLLOWING MEASURES ARE REQUIRED TO CONTROL CORRUPTION AND UN EARTHEN THE CORRUPT WEALTH.

[107]        BETTER MEANS TO ARRIVE AT AGRICULTURE INCOME EARNED BY VARIOUS SECTIONS OF PEOPLE ESPECIALLY ER, CS, JO

     Also it should be made mandatory for the agriculture income earners to declare the extent of agriculture land, the type of the soil, the crops raised, the cost incurred in the expenses towards seed, fertilizers, power bill for water circulation from well. Tube well/ pond etc, the cost of pesticides, the labour charges, etc (all purchases through use of farm card issued by government for all the farmers who are in cultivation); when the crop harvested, when the crop was cut and when the crop was sold in the market, what the rate that was sold in the market at that time, what are the transport and Hamali charges incurred for cutting the crop, transportation, un loading at market yard, what is income earned. This makes clear earnings from agriculture.

[108]        NEED FOR TAXING AGRICULTURE INCOME, MANDATORY FOR ALL FARMERS TO FILE AGRICULTURE INCOME RETURNS

     Also all large farms more than 10 Acers of should be charged a nominal income tax of 5% of the total earnings. This measure elimination getting tax benefits for agriculture income, converting un taxed, zero billed money, corrupt money being converted into agriculture income, otherwise the lands are dry lands and hardly any agriculture activity, no yield from such lands are being shown as agriculture income earned, This measure ensures that all civil servants and all elected representatives do not get shield themselves in the name of earnings from agriculture income to convert their corrupt, black money to legitimate white money in the name of earnings from cultivation from their farm land which is either or not yield any income or the holdings are too small for the income earned form cultivation. Or making investments in the companies in the name of people who are working as Group D employees, showing as earning from agriculture income of the Group D as directors in the company etc can be eliminated by making every individual farmer need to file the agriculture income, whether taxable or not, as only the income from large farmers with more than 10 acers should be taxable.

[109]        MEASURES FOR ENSURING BETTER DELIVERY OF WELFARE IN GOVERNMENT HOSTELS

     Also it should be mandatory that government must form a special inspections teams comprising of two civil servants and two elected representatives selected on random bases among the officers of Group B and above in the district in appropriate numbers  to visit every week one government welfare hostel and one government school providing Mid day meal, also one old age home/ one women and child care centre (including street child care centres) and have food their along with the children, find out the facilities as provided by government are getting or not, the quality of food provided in the week etc also physically examine/interact with almost all the children/beneficiaries and submit their findings independently to the respective HOD of the district, and the government. This measure will certainly improve the quality of education, reduce corruption, enhance the health care of the children, improve their BMI, reduce malnourishment, improve in quality of study etc.

[110]        MEASURES FOR ENSURING FOR BETTER DELIVERY OF WELFARE IN VILLAGES/ WARDS IN PDS SYSTEM

     Also similarly once in a month a team of two civil servants of Group B and Group C of different offices in the district and two elected representatives of block level / gram panchayat / ward level from different blocks/ wards selected on random bases, and formed as surprise inspection teams reporting to District Collector, to carry out surprise inspections in the PDS system in certain mandals on random bases , (100 such teams per district to inspect every week)to find out the reach of the benefits of the PDS to the targeted sections, they should visit the PDS shops, verify the stock in camera, the quality of the stock,  interact with few local beneficiaries on random bases reading the reach of the benefits and the findings should be submitted to the District collector same day soon after completion of the visit by the individual civil servants and the elected representative to the chairman of the Zilla parishad or Municipal mayor with copy to collector, the District collector office correlate the information, in case any discrepancies found they will take appropriate necessary steps to fix the lacunas and fix corruption and bring to justice the corrupt. This measure will certainly reduce the pilferage of the PDS system, especially in rural areas, more particularly in the Tribal areas, over a period of time all the beneficiaries also fully aware of their entitlements and also they themselves ensure no pilferage occurs by demanding their legitimate entitlement; also it is ideal that PDS shops should have CC cameras and issue of PDS goods based on the biometric finger print of the beneficiary this measure almost eliminate pilferage. The special inspection teams should focus first on areas of predominance of Tribal population, then dalit population, then OBC, minority population in rural areas and in slums in urban areas. 

[111]        MEASURES FOR ENSURING REDUCTION OF CORRUPTION IN SEA PORTS

     Also there should be special inspection teams in appropriate numbers each team comprising of  8 civil servants (two from income tax, two from audit, two from excise, two from port officals) and two qualified charted accountants, should be formed on random bases in the country to verify the records of ports both government and private ports every month for two days on certain parameters to check the way bills, excise bills, permits for exports and imports and valuation of the quantity of goods exported and goods imported for all government and private ports. The finds of the reports should be submitted to vigilance department of that port and the government of state and GOI, which will be shared with other concerned relevant departments in government of state and GOI for fixing the lacunas, this measure will certainly reduce the corruption in exports and imports and their under invoicing or no invoicing or multiple use of same single permits with collision of the port officials (especially in private ports, even allegations of certain government ports where ports are controlled parallel by the Mafias); this measure will certainly enhance the revenues of government in various ways especially the exports of minerals like coal, iron ore, granite etc; also this measure will ensure that the exact value of the imports.

[112]        MEASURES FOR ENSURING REDUCTION OF CORRUPTION IN PHARMACY SECTOR

     Also there should be special inspection teams in appropriate number, with each team comprising of 8 offices one from income tax, one from central excise, one from audit, one from sales tax of the state and one from state government drug department, one from energy sector and one general physician, one chartered accountant should visit each and every bulk drug, pharma manufacturing units once in a two months on surprise visit randomly and verify the records and production on random bases and check for the stock of the raw material, the batch numbers, the stock manufactured, stock in move, sock in market, the power consumed during the month, normal power consumption per shift in normal circumstances, the diesel stock in case of having a captive diesel power etc ; Similarly a team of state drug department should verify at random different pharmacy distributors, retail shops under video recording in each district during the day / period of inspection of pharma manufacturing units by the random team of government.  This measure will ensure that no use of same batch licence number by the pharma manufacturers to produce the stock in excess than permitted by government and sell it in open market through retail outlets by under invoicing or second invoicing which is not shown in official books of accounts and being sold in retailer with official batch number etc will get completely eliminated, the bulk drug stock will ensure no manufacturer will prepare any replica of spurious medicines without any licence or no contract manufacturing occurs on behalf of the original manufacturer. This measure ensure quality pharmacy products available in market, all product are taxed, enhances the revenue collection of government. As pharmacy companies earn profits ranging from 100 to 500% so there is every scope for corrupt practice, under invoicing to earn more black money.

[113]        MEASURES FOR ENSURING REDUCTION OF CORRUPTION IN BEVERAGES SECTOR, WHICH IS CONTRIBUTING MAXIMUM REVENUES TO FEW STATE GOVERNMENTS

     Also there should be special inspection teams in appropriate numbers with each team comprising of  five officials one from sales tax, one from audit, one from state police, one from state excise, one from government should visit once in month the distilleries manufacturing IMFL, its stock in manufacturing unit, the batch numbers, the stock in circulation; simultaneously state excise department should conduct stock reading at random on the shops in camera in presence of few members of NGO’s fighting against corruption or women group members selected on random bases, to find out the validity of the stock. This measure will certainly contain the manufacturing of excess stock of liquor, sale of non excise paid liquor and contain the corruption of excise department of the state.

[114]        MEASURES TO CONTROL CORRUPTION IN VARIOUS OTHER SECTORS

     Similar kind of cross checks and balances in agriculture inputs like fertiliser and seed manufacturers and fertilizer and seed retailers to ensure no spurious fertilizers and seeds and pesticides are sold in the market, all goods sold are taxed, farmers will get quality fertilizers and certified seeds and quality pesticides in correct market price and no artificial scarcity of stock.

[115]        MANDATORY ALL PURCHASES ABOVE RS 20,000 BY ANY INDIVIDUAL THROUGH BANK TRANSACTIONS, BANNING CASH SALE FOR BILLS ABOVE Rs 20,000; MANDATORY TO QUOTE VOTER ID CARD/ PAN CARD NUMBER ON THE BILL BELOW 20,000

     It should be mandatory that all trade/ sale above Rs 20,000 in total (of various items) or any single item valuing above Rs 20,000 the merchandise transaction at any commercial enterprise like retail out let or restaurant the bills should be paid through bank transactions, i.e either through bank debit card or credit card only (all purchase bills should), also all bills below 20,000 Rs but above rs 1,000 should have PAN card no or Voter ID card number no of the person purchasing the goods. All merchandise should be computer bills and the sales should be submitted online to the sales tax department. It is for the sales tax department of the district/ state to integrate the data of sales at different circles in the district, all data of the districts to list of the purchases made by every single pan card number holder or every single voter Id card, this measure will certainly reduce use of un accounted money, splitting the purchase bills to less than Rs 20,000. 

     Similarly all banks / financial institutions are barred from accepting cash deposits above Rs 20,000, no cash withdrawals or deposit in cash above Rs 20,000 in a month for all savings accounts, all current accounts maximum of Rs 1,00,000 per month cash withdrawal, all cash deposits should mandatorily quote pan card number or voter ID number, all business payments i.e from current account to current account (all payments in contracts, especially construction etc) above Rs 1000 should be through bank transactions only though online transaction only. This measure eliminates circulation of black money. Similarly all payments above Rs 1000 to any employees by any individual (payments to servant maid or driver etc) should be deposited in bank only through online transaction only. This measure contains circulation of un accounted money/black money.

[116]        DISTRICT WISE UNIFIED STATUTORY LICENSING AUTHORITY

     Also there should be district wise unified licensing authority, the primary role of this department is to collect the details from all government departments which issues various licences like sales tax department, income tax department, municipal water, electricity department, pollution control board, fire safety department etc traffic police, sanitation department, labour department for provident fund, ESI , gas connection for cooking commercial or residential etc, etc to various kinds of business establishments (commercial) and non commercial establishment. This department role is to identify various kinds of businesses, ensure collection of details of what are the licences/ permissions that are required from government each sector of business wise (like manufacturing, trading, distribution, retailing, service sectors, again in service sector like healthcare, hospitality/travel etc etc), and segregate the information received from various government departments and all bank and financial institutions, which are having commercial bank accounts and issue notices to those departments as well as the individual/business establishments for non obtain-ance / non compliance of the statutory licences supposed to obtain before the start of the business and pay the taxes/ licence fee etc as per law of the territory.

     The details of mandal/ block wise/ ward wise/village wise business establishments will be listed in the internet website, to ensure public of the territory (also the competitors in the territory) will take a note of the unlisted business/manufacturing units and inform the “district unified statutory licensing authority”, this measure will certainly prevent zero bill trade/ un authorised manufacturing, curtails spurious/ duplicate manufacturing to maximum extent  and ensure better revenue collection to the government. 

     This measure of unified statutory licences data authority  ensures all commercial business establishments in residential houses pays commercial electricity tariff, all gas connections that are in residential purposes used in restaurants situated in residential premises should mandatorily get use the commercial cylinders, similarly the water connections, the pollution certifications from industries which require mandatory certification for prevention of pollution to ground/ air etc will be perfectly made reducing the pollution in the territory, also the fire department will ensure fire safety norms are adhered by all commercial establishments, all commercial establishments have adequate parking facility for running their business in case the business requires parking space by getting traffic police clearance etc; also ideal in all market areas should be made no vehicle zones during business hours, all the travel in market zones should use battery operated trams to carry the people who cannot walk, this measure not only reduces pollution but also improves health of people visiting markets/ shopping for having proper walking exercise.. 

[117]        ALL CURRENT ACCOUNT HOLDERS IN BANK OPERATING FROM ANY PREMISES EITHER RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL SHOULD PAY COMMERCIAL RENT FOR THE PREMISES, COMMERCIAL ELECTRICITY TARIFF, WATER, GAS ETC.

     Also it should be made mandatory that all business licence holders should pay commercial electricity tariff, and commercial rent (the rent should be double the residential rent in case of commercial activities in residential areas which otherwise do not disturb the neibuorers) this will certainly reduce the business activities from the residential premises. This will improve the demand for commercial establishments and also professional manner of working and also improves the employment generation and revenues for government. As most of the business like beauty parlours, saloons, massage centers, restaurants, designer wear dress/ saries/garments, mostly service apartments guest houses etc are run from the residential areas, also some of the companies / firms which are running from residential areas, also paper companies/ dubious companies are running from residential areas doing millions of turnovers.

     Also it should be ideal to create a permanent building facility each block/ mandal for ruining temporary business for use by individuals who wish to exhibit their paintings or designer garments, or sale in seasons like seasonal fruits/ vegetables or crackers during depavali etc or like to keep an exhibition of any nature for commercial or non commercial purposes should be available for public on first come first serve bases all through internet booking of available space through payment for space in advance which should be non refundable. This measure will help lot of people who wish to earn during seasons or work from home and earn or earn during vacations etc

[118]        MEANS TO GET UNORGANISED EMPLOYEES IN SALES, MARKETING, SERVICING IN PRIVATE BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS TO GET MINIMUM WAGES, HEALTH CARE..

     Also it should be ideal to make it mandatory to get register with government labour department in a separate wing for issue of ID cards and maintenance of data base of all marketing and sales persons, helpers in the commercial establishments (sector wise like simple sales, like sale of garments, technical products, electronic products, services like in hospitality industry, medical field, food preparation, etc each category wise)  in each district wise.  This measure will ensure all the sales and marketing persons get minimum wages as per the minimum wages act where ever they are working(it should be criminal offence to employ any sales/ marketing/ service person without government ID card (of course it should be the prerogative of the employer to employ any one of their choice, but  soon before employing, they should apply online to labour department before employing and obtain the ID card for their employee), all the sales persons working in the commercial establishment or outdoor job should mandatorily display their government issued ID card during working time, all the salaries paid to the sales, service, marketing employees by the employer should be through bank transaction only, also this method ensures safety to the employer as the credentials are being verified by the government- police before issue of ID card for not having any police cases against the candidates, also it includes the details of bank accounts, the voter id card, the passport, the bio metric finger print etc and the native village etc; also this method eliminates employing child labour),

     Also this measure will certainly help the employers that the reason for changing job in case any employee wish to change the job, and employee might be belonging to any place/territory/ state, the details will be available on the website with labour department and any employer can make request to government labour department to verify the previous track record of the employee. This will give more confidence to the employers that they are giving opportunity for perfect people, not with criminal background or tainted back ground, also the employees work with more care and dedicated-ness; also standard working time and all facilities like PF, ESI etc will be applicable, also the commercial establishments will show exact number of workers working in the establishment and no excess expenditure is shown as if paying for salaries in the establishment (all employers must mandatorily quote the employee ID number and permission grant number of labour department for listing the employee under the employer, this will ensure how many employees working exactly in each business establishment), also the sale of spurious/ non taxed / non licence/ cheap imported goods will not happen in all the territories and door to door sales will be authentic, the details of authorised sales people can be known to any individuals by just going to the internet on the website of the labour department and typing the employee id or SMS employee ID to know the authenticity of the employee, it should be mandatory for sales, marketing and service personal should mandatorily get display their ID card, and if the residents or clients gets any doubt about the credentials/ or faces any misbehaviour with clients especially the  females, they can check the ID card and may lodge official complaint against such persons, also this will eliminate that thefts/ dacoits entering the houses pretending as service/ marketing agents and looting the houses when noticing single old age people or children at home or any other such incidences can be prevented.

[119]        VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE SCHEME FOR ALL ER AND CS TO REVEAL UN ACCOUNTED MONEY & UN ACCOUNTED/ UNDER ACCOUNTED WEALTH

     It is very necessary and appropriate to provide an opportunity for the ER and CS to reveal voluntarily to the government regarding un accounted wealth / under accounted wealth / assets by the individual as well as their family members / close aides / kin kith who are acting as benamies in the form of “Voluntary Disclosure Scheme”. This VDS scheme the ER and CS can be exempted from punishments by the law. The VDS scheme should be for a limited period of one month, after the VDS period over, if found that ER & CS got assets which are undervalued or non disclosed the same assets should be confiscated by the government in addition the ER & CS are barred from holding any position in their life time, in addition facing the imprisonment as per the rules.  This measure will certainly yield results to certain extent.

[120]        CONCLUSION

    It is a fact that country achieved this much of development in last 66 years only due to few elected representatives and few brilliant civil servants who are straight forwarded natured, dedicated to the public service to the best of their ability with at most sincerity and honestly in discharging their duties and responsibilities as public representatives and public servants, however these kind of people are very few, (minuscule) majority of them are indulging in self aggrandizement and self acquisitiveness as the only motto in their life, of course they are over smart enough to make others think that they are fully dedicated to the public service by giving false notion to the public by lecturing about eradication of corruption, but in reality they are contrary to what they exhibit outside, in the process of their self aggrandizement they are fully become blind in their wisdom that due their corrupt activities they are spoiling the lives of millions of downtrodden sections who are supposed to get benefits from the government (ex for getting 1 lack rupees bribe these kind of corrupt elected representatives and civil servants may not mind government losing several lakhs of rupees of revenue, sometimes even crores of rupees. All the corruption happened in the last 66 years, more particularly after 1991 economic liberalisation is very high in magnitude and really affected the standard of living of millions of downtrodden sections, during this period the rich become richer, the poor become poorer. It can be attributed due to corruption done by the Elected Representatives and Civil servants at the top. Since existing anti corruption mechanisms not able to deliver the results being under indirect/ direct control of the ER and CS, also due to limited manpower with these institution to tackle the gigantic corrupt, the only solution to un earthen the un accounted wealth, prevent happening of corruption is by making the ER and CS absolutely accountable, with transparency to the common people. In this process the ER and CS need to prove their  straightforwardness, service orienteness  to the people by disclosing the family tree, the income/ assets of the individual and all immediate family members and reveal the growth formula of the assets; also maintaining daily dairy, all works under CC camera survivalence,  making all communication revealed to common people, making all government files movement is made online, etc where common people will observe, monitor the activities of the ER and CS and alert the anti corruption mechanisms, bring the corrupt to justice, so this measure will certainly make sure over a period of time corruption is reduced to minimum levels and over all development, inclusive growth of all sections of people  occurs due to better collection of revenues will occur, better utilisation of funds will occur and accurate delivery of services. In case the ER and CS do not realise this fact and still conceal the facts and make themselves shield in the name of so called privileges, so called privacy, (when fundamental right  guaranteed by the Constitution,  the right to freedom of expression, itself is not absolute right, when the matter of larger interest of people is concerned, then what is the need for this so called privileges and privacy of ER & CS to be continued? when these are making the lives of millions of downtrodden people miserable?) when  these ER/ CS are meant to serve the people, got the authority due to the people to serve and not to act as masters/ dictators but as faithful servants to people, when there is  no room/scope for direct/indirect dictatorship of elite/ upper echelons in democracy, it is for the people to bring mass movements in a democratic manner to compel the ER and CS be accountable to the people, after all the ER and CS should be bound to follow/respect the Constitution of India, it is clearly mentioned in the preamble of the constitution of INDIA, that is government for the people, government by the people.

Note : 1) Some of the mentions in the documents regarding the Elected Representative (ER) and Civil Servant (CS) personal attitude linking to corruption/ immoral acts are not my personal views, but are  buzzing around the political circles, civil service circles and common people who seen some of the life’s of the ER and CS closely regarding the personal attitude/ character / private life of some of the ER and CS;  if anyone has any objection they should ask all the elected representatives/ civil servants/ judiciary officers to swear on their loved ones (family members) and tell that they do not have such things/aware of such things, and take lie detection test, the above views applicable to only section of elected representatives who are corrupt, indulging in illegitimate actives, otherwise the elected representative and Civil servants should be more responsible, should lead an upright, straight forward legitimate way of living and should be example for all other sections of people in his territory to follow them in spirit.

Note : 2) This document is not meant to target any individual Elected Representative  or ER’s / Civil servant or CS’s / Judiciary Officer/JO’s in any part of the country, but certainly to bring change in the attitude of corrupt ER/CS/JO. It is only in the larger interest of the people of the country, especially downtrodden sections, more specifically the dalits, adivasis and minorities, other backward class and all economically backward sections irrespective of caste/ religion, youth, women and aged people. If any of the ER/CS/JO who are doing selfless service in accordance to the law of the land and are non corrupt/ straight forward hurt due to the mentions about their fraternity, I have no hesitation in expressing by sincere apologies for any inconvenient caused for such upright ER/CS/JO due to my mentions to their fraternity. Hope them, too answerable to their inner conscious.

     Since every Elected Representative, every Civil Servant (especially Group B and above, in police SHO and above), every Judiciary official is a leader in their respective filed commanding others in the territory, as such they follow the mention from the ‘Bhagvad Gita’ which can be followed by all human beings irrespective of caste/ religion/ race which says

1)  “Leaders should have the ability to see the invisible, behind the visible universe of objects and events there is an invisible universe of beliefs, perceptions and emotions, the more a leader becomes sensitive to these invisible elements in his field the more he attains the ‘eye of wisdom’.”

2)  “A Leaders first job is to witness what is real, his ultimate job is to act up on the reality”

3)  “The most significant role of a leader is to make the invisible clearly visible. Inspiration is invisible, but inspired action is visible, Trust is invisible but trustworthy behaviour is visible”

Note :  3) This document is an extension of my previous documents which are related to reforms in various sectors to contain corruption and ensuring occurrence of sustained development with inclusive growth of all sections of people, which are circulated from time to time to the concerned Cabinet Ministers and MOS related that field and also to PMO of UPA-2 Government, which are in my blog, scribd.
