Simple solutions lie buried
in the reports of a myriad Commissions and Committees. All we need is
implementation
When I first heard the policy pronouncement of the
new government that the Planning Commission was going to be abolished, I felt
like celebrating. Since the early 1960s when I joined the service, I have
harboured a deep-rooted prejudice against this leviathan.
The
reason was simple. Even a blind man with his eyes bandaged could plainly
perceive the incandescent truth that the Deputy Commissioner and the
Superintendent of Police were the two draught animals who pulled the
bullock-cart of peace and progress in the field. Yet the Planning Commission
was totally blind to this reality. So much so, that the revenue and police were
the only departments which did not have a Plan scheme to their name.
