സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ ജീവനക്കാരന്‍റെ കാര്യക്ഷമത
സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ നല്‍കുന്ന സൗജന്യവിദ്യാഭ്യാസത്തിലൂടെ തുടക്കം കുറിച്ച് പൊതുസേവനത്തിനായി പ്രതിജ്ഞയുമെടുത്ത് സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ ജോലികളില്‍ പ്രവേശിക്കുന്നവരുടെ പര്യവസാനം അര്‍ത്ഥവത്താകുന്നുണ്ടോ? ഓരോരുത്തരും അവനവന്‍റെ വ്യാഖ്യാനം നല്‍കുമെങ്കിലും യാഥാര്‍ത്ഥ്യമെന്തെന്നു പച്ചവെള്ളം പോലെ സ്പഷ്ടമാണ്. തുടക്കത്തില്‍ അവന്‍റെ തൊഴിലില്‍ കാണിക്കുന്ന ശുഷ്കാന്തിയും മനുഷ്യത്വവും കാലക്രമേണ ദ്രവീകരണപ്പെടുന്നു. പൊതുജന സേവനമെന്ന ദൌത്യത്തില്‍ നിന്നും വ്യതിചലിച്ച് യാന്ത്രികമായ ഒരു വ്യവസ്ഥിതിയുടെ ഭാഗമായി ഇഴകി ചേരുകയാണ് അവനും. പൊതുനന്മക്കായി അവന്‍ ഉയര്‍ത്തി പിടിച്ച തത്വങ്ങളും, പലരും പ്രകീര്‍ത്തിച്ച അവന്‍റെ വാഗ്വാദങ്ങളും അന്തരീക്ഷ ശൂന്യതയില്‍ അപ്രത്യക്ഷമായി. മനഃസ്ഥാപം കൊണ്ടു ഈ ദുഷിച്ച വ്യവസ്ഥിതിയില്‍ നിന്നും രക്ഷപെടുവാന്‍ ആഗ്രഹിച്ചപ്പോഴേക്കും സമയം അതിക്രമിച്ചിരുന്നു. സ്വന്തം കുടുംബ ജീവിതത്തിന്‍റെ ഭദ്രതക്ക് അവന്‍റെ ആദര്‍ശങ്ങള്‍ ഹോമിക്കപെട്ടു.
സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ ജീവനത്തിന്‍റെ വികൃതമായ ഈ രൂപത്തിന് ഉത്തരവാദി ആര്? രാഷ്ട്രീയക്കാരനും പൊതുജനവും, പിന്നെ സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥ വൃന്ദവും ചേര്‍ന്ന ഒരു കൂട്ടുത്തര വാദിത്വത്തിന്‍റെ അടുത്ത കണ്ണി മാത്രമാണ് അവന്‍. യാഥാര്‍ത്ഥ്യം മനസിലായപ്പോഴേക്കും നിസ്സഹായതയുടെ പടുകുഴിയിലേക്കു അവന്‍ തള്ളി വീഴപ്പെട്ടു. അവന്‍റെ നിമിഷങ്ങള്‍ മുത്തുകളേക്കാള്‍ വിലയേറിയതായിരുന്നു. പക്ഷെ, ഇന്നു പശ്ചാതാപത്തിന്‍റെ കൊടുമുടിയിലേക്ക് ഉറ്റു നോക്കി അവന്‍ നിമിഷങ്ങള്‍ അയവിറക്കുന്നു. കാരണം ആ നിമിഷങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് അവന്‍റെ സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ ജീവനത്തില്‍ പ്റാധാന്യമില്ല. അവന്‍റെ നിമിഷങ്ങള്‍ കാര്യക്ഷമതയ്ക്ക് സാക്‍ഷ്യം വഹിക്കപെടേണ്ട ചുറ്റുപാട് ലഭിക്കുന്നില്ല. അതല്ലെങ്കില്‍ കാര്യക്ഷമതയുടെ പേരില്‍ 'ഓവര്‍ സ്മാര്‍ട്ട്' എന്ന ലേബല്‍ നല്‍കി അവന്‍ അടിച്ചമര്‍ത്തപ്പെടുന്നു. പകരം കണ്ണുനീരിനു സാക്‍ഷ്യം വഹിച്ചുകൊണ്ട്‌ അവന്‍റെ നിമിഷങ്ങള്‍ എണ്ണപെട്ടു. അവന്‍റെ കാര്യക്ഷമത കൂടി അംഗീകരിക്കപെട്ടിരുന്നുവെങ്കില്‍ ഈ വ്യവസ്ഥിതിയില്‍ മാറ്റം ഉണ്ടാകും എന്ന് പലപ്പോഴും തോന്നിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. എന്നാല്‍ ഇതിന്‍റെ അളവുകോലിലും മായം ചേര്‍ക്കില്ലേ?

How to improve the public owned companies?
No one will be there never entered into a government office atleast for their certificate attestation. Though, Public is the boss of these offices, how many of them get back good service? You might have sensed the atmosphere-change of the telecom field. Once the monopoly was over ruling the public by harassing them. But today, from the competitive field they are free to opt, particularly depending upon the individual capacity. He has the diversity to opt, and within no time he gets new connection, after service, etc. Like wise once, even our political leaders were against the computerization. Today, even the party offices can’t function without computer.
Another monopoly the public today faces is in the field of electricity. Even if electricity is in the concurrent list of our Constitution, some bureaucrats keep it away from the public. Even if the law there they fought against, spraying dirt to the eyes of public. Either through the unbundling of the utility or through any other means they suggest, the public should get the good deserving service. Recently, the Central Minister of Electricity was commenting that Kerala was not having any Capacity addition for the ongoing year. We should think, why. Compared with our neighbouring states why we are going back, even in industrialization. Yes, there are many other reasons too, like the government departmental bureaucrats, to whom they have to approach for the clearances.
What is actually happening with present day Government Departmental functions? Could the public get the deserved service? But here, I ask another question too. Whether the inhabitants inside these department roofs get job satisfaction? I am sure, 90% of those who read this will agree with me in the following perspective.
Why the public doesn’t get good service and also why even for the deserving government staff doesn’t get job satisfaction. Politics, Public Interferences, Overwhelming Democracy, etc. are some of the reasons behind. How man reached to this Modern developed world from his Old age? Because, he works with the Nature. Some of you call this Nature as God. Everything to be happened will happen. You ever thought, why majority of our govt. staff flown to foreign countries never get back to their parent departments? The exception is, only a few lazy fellows join back, since their laziness could suite. Yes, that is the root cause, why the perfection couldn’t achieve. The Nature will root to privatize the functions one by one. I am surprised to see some of the real bureaucrats under rule these department functions, without giving relief to the real beneficiaries with their political and influential power. Let me conclude with a single question, why Efficiency Bar couldn’t be implemented to the government staff ?
If some one tells you that, I was earlier working with a Government department and later abandoned. You must ask him, why you left and how you are now? I am sure, he will describe as above. In addition he will murmur to your ear that, I could have left even earlier, but the magic of ‘Job Security’ was dragging me back in my every attempts.

Could we suggest an Electrical Definition to the Height of a Building?
Back Ground
The Indian statutes are defining a Multistoried Building/High Rise Buildings as one having a height of more than 15m. The height is defined to measure from the average street level to the plinth level of the terrace. When there are two approach roads in different levels, we the Kerala Electrical Inspectorate direct to measure the height from the highest level, if fire engine access is there.
I like to get your suggestions in my observation explained below:
The height of a building is defined with the statutes in fire safety angle. What I am thinking is 'Electrical Safety' and 'Fire Safety' are entirely different, though them are mutually interlinked in some angles. Electrical faults may finally lead to electric fire and hence the fire safety inter related. But always the electrical faults may not lead to electric fire alone, instead electric shock to human or damage to the equipments, cables, etc. What I like to ascertain that the measures taken for the fire safety need not be taken same for the electrical safety, particularly in the case of height of the building. But every where with the statutes, for the electrical aspects height of the building is taken same as that of fire safety.
Confusions/Disputes are usually getting aroused in many related cases. For example consider a building in a slanted plot (or it can be in level plot also). It may have 4 floors under-ground and 3 floors above-ground, hence totally 7 floors. But, as per the existing laws it will not come under multistoried building category. Hence, no fire safety restrictions and the same for the electrical side also. In other words, the concerned electrical engineer of the project doesn't have the head ache to design considering the relevant electrical safety regulations as in the case multistoried buildings. Also, KSEB need to give power supply even without getting the clearances from Electrical Inspectorate.
Now, think back what I explained above. The building is being actually 7 storied; the electrical safety need to be same as in the case of a 7 storied high rise building. Where as fire safety is enough, 4 floors being below ground and the fire engine is accessible in the top road level, in case of emergency.
I am trying to ask, why can't we think about having a different definition about the height of the building in electrical safety aspects? Please forward your suggestions and ask me any more clarification about what I explained above.
