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.

I full agree with you. As a professional I can not agree with the way they are working. I am working in private sector in Gulf. Here each employee national as well as expartiate is accountable. In my whole life in Gulf(past 30 years) I have experienced only power interruption for only one day and that also only for 6 hours. Still the Minister resigned after terminating all the concerned Engineers and Technical staff responsible for the interruption. See where our state stand compared to others?
