It doesn’t mean that we need to stop even 10 paisa to save one Rs to Govt,WE people need to act (ex: RTI ) & combined with good governance.vishnuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02787976522688137761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36793248.post-89296165809235385262010-10-24T09:34:40.437-07:002010-10-24T09:34:40.437-07:00@G: Implementation of any state sponsored program ...@G: Implementation of any state sponsored program will be difficult. Thanks to macroeconomics classes, I firmly believed that programs like NREGA is a gross waste of tax payers' money. But seeing the plight of rural India since so many days, now I know that programs like this are 'meant' to help the truly poor. <br /><br />As Nikhil mentioned y'day, state govt's expenditure is more than its income. Of course, the govts will bleed. May be it can trim its 'unnecessary' expenses and make sure that the earmarked budget is spent for the right purposes. That is exactly what I meant. As citizens, why don't we ask the govts to show us what they are doing with our money? <br /><br />I don't think that Aruna is in kahuts with Congress because she is in some committees. Otherwise, how can people like these influence the macroeconomic policies? Our own Prof. Sastry and M. P. Vasimalai, even Dr Balu are trying to bring about change by being associated with the process. Why do we have to put a motive behind even those well intentioned moves?Supreethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274584120217677927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36793248.post-50451690654005518472010-10-24T09:00:48.529-07:002010-10-24T09:00:48.529-07:00A little out of context comment, but you know wher...A little out of context comment, but you know where I'm coming from !<br /><br />NGREA is successful only in Rajastan and is almost a big failure in all other states. The program is eating up 1% of the GDP and is projected to grow to 5%. Now the buck is passed down to states, and states like Gujarat, Kerala and Maharastra where the avg. cost of employment is high are bleeding because of this program. Congress will not have any intention to kill the program, because they are the biggest beneficiaries (in all accounts). Aruna Roy is closely associated with Congress, in the committee headed by Sonia Gandhi etc etc. Now you read between the lines !<br /><br />Politics :)<br /><br />-G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
