Congratulations on Bold Third-Party Quality Audits – A Benchmark for Governance
===================================================
Dear Shri Gadkariji,
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for your bold initiative to conduct
third-party quality audits on National Highway projects, as reported recently in
the Third-party quality audits being conducted on National Highway projects: Gadkari.
As you may recall, I have been advocating for this exact concept—what I term
"Budgeting by Objectives"—since December 2014. In my communications with
your colleagues in government, I have consistently pleaded that the focus of our
ministries must shift from mere "expenditure targets" to measurable, physical
"output targets."
The cornerstone of this model is the mandate that actual achievements must be
measured on an ongoing basis by totally independent, third-party agencies. This
ensures transparency, accountability, and a shift toward true "Management by
Objectives."
By implementing this rigorous audit process, you have not only set a new standard
for infrastructure development but have also provided a vital benchmark for other
Ministers to follow. If every ministry were to adopt this "Outcome-First" approach,
it would transform the efficiency and efficacy of our entire administrative
machinery.
Thank you for your leadership in turning this vision into a tangible reality.
Respectfully,
Hemen Parekh
