Congratulations on setting for your Ministry , a lofty objective
and then achieving it , viz:
* Setting up 1150
Industrial Training Institutes ( ITI ) in year 2015 ( 100 per month )
A remarkable achievement considering that in the past 60 years ,
Governments ( Central + States ) , could manage to set up only 13,105 ITIs (
ave of 18 per month )
But even that pales against your target to set up 7,000 ITIs in
year 2016 !
A very refreshing approach when compared to all other ministries
focusing on the fact that they have managed to " spend " by now ,
most of their last year's budget allocation ( the higher the percentage , the
better your performance ! )
Why this perverse
obsession with " how much you have spent " ?
Reason is all too simple :
While drawing up the next year's budgetary allocations for
various Ministries , the Finance Minister will increase / decrease their allocations
based on , to what extent ( % ) did they manage to actually " spend "
their current year's allocations
The one and only emphasis is on " spending " !
As usual , no MP will ask :
" But , what exactly did the Minister concerned
achieve by spending this money ?
What physical / measureable targets did the Minister succeed in
reaching / exceeding , with that money ?
Where / What are the OUTPUTS ?
Why is it that no targets were set in advance , before the start
of the year ?
How come , Minister was allowed to shoot first and then draw
concentric circles around the hole afterwards ( at the end of the year ) , to
claim BULL'S EYE ? "
In private sector , shareholders / bankers do not hesitate to
sack the CMD / MD / CEO , if he fails to deliver on promised profits
Then , why are Ministers allowed to retain their posts ( - or
even get kicked upstairs ! ) , despite
failing to deliver ?
What did get fixed , were only EXPENDITURE TARGETS !
For a change , for the forthcoming budget ,can we expect Shri
Jaitley-ji to :
* Get away from making
financial allocations ,
* Fix for various
Ministries , physical achievement targets such as :
# FINANCE MINISTER
* GDP ..... 8 % ............ [ 10 %
improvement ]
* CAD...... ( - ) 5 % ..... [
20 % improvement ]
# COMMERCE MINISTER
* Exports........ $ 350 Billion .... [ 10 %
improvement ]
* FDI.............. $
50 Billion...... [ 20 % improvement ]
# RAILWAY
MINISTER
* Lengths of Tracks.....................125,000
Km..... [ Up by 10 % ]
* No of Passenger Trains /
day..... 10,000... [ Up by
10 % ]
# HEALTH MINISTER
* Chronic Hunger and Hunger Related
Deaths
8 Million /
year .................................... [ Down by 20 % ]
* Under-nourished people..... 200
million..... [ Down by 10 % ]
# SOCIAL WELFARE MINISTER
* Dowery Deaths /
year....... 8,000...... ......[
Down by 10 % ]
* People without Toilets........
500 Million.... [ Down by 20 % ]
# AGRICULTURE MINISTER
* Farmers Suicide/
year..... .. 14,000.............. [
Down by 20 % ]
* Food Grain rotting /
year..... 5 Million tons..... [ Down by 20 % ]
So on and so forth for each Minister
Some caution / suggestions :
* Ignore the numbers given above. I could be
factually wrong
* Focus on the concept of " Management
by Objectives "
* Overcome the fear of " failure to meet
the targets "
* Overcome the fear of " being ridiculed
" !
* Don't chop off the neck that dares to stick
out ! Encourage risk-taking !
* Only failure is , not fixing the
targets !
* Actual vs Targeted achievements must be
measured , on an ongoing
basis , by totally independent THIRD PARTY
agencies
Ministers / Finance Minister and
these Agencies , must agree in advance
how the Agencies will go about "
measuring " the Actual Achievements
The method of measurement must be
transparent and well publicized
in advance
Agencies shall have no role in
fixing of Annual Targets
That is best done by the Prime
Minister - the CEO , MakeInIndia
* There must be at least 10 performance
parameters for each Minister
* Parameters themselves could be selected /
prioritized , based on an
ONLINE PUBLIC SURVEY / OPINION
POLL , from Govt web site
* If conducting such an ONLINE POLL for the
forthcoming budget is
too late , same could be done on
a printed form , by current MPs /
MLAs / Rajya Sabha Members
* Results of the SURVEY / POLL , must be
published
