Administrative Reforms

Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) headed by the former Karnataka Chief Minister Mr. Veerappa Moily has made several laudable suggestions which will increase transparency in public affairs and thereby accelerate our march towards progress. It is an irrefutable fact that corruption is the biggest menace eating into the vitals of our body politic. Understandably, ARC has focussed corruption as the crux of the problem. Political parties on several occasions tried to torpedo good suggestions without realizing that bad practices will boomerang on them sooner or later. India, the largest democracy of the country is in a vibrant state and let us rise above our personal, partisan and political interests and think in terms of wider national interest to make this glorious country the greatest democracy of the world and a role model for others to emulate.

It is hoped that the politicians, bureaucracy and people in power come out of their shackles and think in terms of wider national interest to realise our great Indian dream. Let us also hope that all political parties and parliamentarians forgetting their ideological differences, will show the same unity of purpose which was shown while passing the bill for increasing the pay and perks of MPs, for accepting the recommendations of the second Administrative Reforms Commission in the interest of their countrymen who voted them to power.
