I
keep on reading some good articles about Brand
Nitish and Brand Bihar and get pleased with the
nomination of Nitish number 3 position by ‘India
Today’. But the news from Bihar and Patna are
disturbing. I know all the law and order issues
will not be set right in one go. As a commoner,
I dream a miracle. I wish the intention and
sincerity must be visible and media must help in
erasing the bad perception by not reporting all
odd news of no worth from Bihar.
I was very happy after reading the news of Kiran
Bedi being appointed as DGP, Bihar in
PatnaDaily.Com. But perhaps, it was not correct.
The reporter perhaps had guessed it. My
happiness was short lived. Are you still giving
chance to the local police talents? It’s good if
they can take the challenge. They are to be
totally professional, fair, and ruthless to
succeed. I wish they are. But you must wait for
long and must bring in some of the reputation of
Bedi or Gill. It will be image building too,
besides showing your sincerity to the basic
problem of the state.
I would have loved if you could appoint at least
two technocrat professionals of proven
reputation in project management as cabinet
ministers: one for rapid construction of roads
both under NHDP and Bharat Nirman, and the
second for rural electrification with an
objective of getting some visible progress
before monsoon sets in.
Will it not be necessary to appoint some reputed
consultants to help in the industrial
development of Bihar? McKinsey enhanced the
image of West Bengal’s intention to create
business-friendly perception. However, you may
go for requesting C. K. Prahlad, Bimal Jalan, or
Rajat Gupta.
Basically a very able PR expert under you must
develop the useful interactions of the
government with the industry. He could have
contacted all the enterprises and institutions
playing active roles in rural development such
as ITC’s Deveshwar for bringing in its e-Choupal,
HLL for its Shakti, ICICI’s Kamath for its
microcredit, Swaminathan Foundation for its
Knowledge Centre initiatives. Vinod Dham, the
reputed IITian also had a wonderful rural
development model.
As it appears, you are regularly talking with
your party people. I wish you requested them to
take care of the problem of teachers’ negligence
of duty at village levels. And I wish a second
campaign could have been undertaken for
educating people about their own responsibility
in the development of their villages and that of
their households.
If you take the initiative, many will come
forward on own in the state. Many individuals
and institutions are willing to help the state
as a test case of development of a region which
some wise people predicted moving in the Dark
Age.
