What Better can Corporators do for their locality ??

    As discussed in my earlier post corporators have certain listed responsibilities to be carried out in their 5 years tenure. For most of their work they are supported by local Municipal corporation. So for these task they just have to direct authorities towards issues and get it resolved. This leaves them with ample energy and time which can directed towards other areas of improvement. 

In this post we will try to explore one additional areas apart form his basic work where a corporator can work on.

When we talk of development my focus would be to work it out in hierarchical fashion. Each work should act a building block for higher development. In corporate terms a project with mix waterfall model and  agile methodologies. 

Waterfall model can focus on building and strengthening foundations whereas agile can be used for continuous improvement on varied fronts. ( These are ones I am aware about but there may be even efficient way to achieve it )

Basic needs of people can be defined in 3 Indian words  ( Roti + Kapda + Makan ) and they all can be satisfied if person have regular source of income. 




Govt Facilities: Readers may say govt. world over are trying to solve this issue and its no easy task. So what can corporator do ?  And its correct but these are one's closer to people then many govt authorities. It may be difficult for them to implement any big policy or scheme but they may be very helpful in making one available to local's which already exists but not many are aware. They can provide means and support to getting govt facilities available with least effort.  

Management Support:  Corporator is best aware of demography of his constituency and also about different trades and business being worked on. He may study or get get help from experts to plan more efficient way of running these businesses which should reduce operational costs. Also if they have certain specialties then making market available for their consumption. It may work other way round too, that means if there is a market then probably try to create business in their locality to fulfil demand this in turn will help in providing jobs to locals. 

Roti: Some time even after all efforts certain circumstances leads to loss of all sources of income. During these times major concern is feeding themselves and their family. Govt. during recent times have launched various schemes to make food available to needy at affordable prices. Least corporator can do here is to make this facility made available in their constituency. Even though this is like other govt facilities but ought to be separately mentioned as its main ingredient for survival. 


I know there can be many such basic works to act as foundation but ones mentioned are placed higher in ladder. 

We will try to explore other opportunities for corporators with readers community in next post. 

Till then good bye and best of luck !!

Wards, lowest node of Indian Political hierarchy

Image
    To be frank thought of this topic as election for nagarsevaks or corporators are near around. And like all elections in India, people interested in politics have already started soft campaigns. Soft because their names are not yet announced as candidates for these election. Once names of candidates to fight for post is declared then real drum beating would start.      Before we deep dive in this topics lets understand where wards is positioned in Indian politics           As you can see above diagram with flow of command where Government of India is at top and wards is the lower most node. We can say wards are working at real grass root level. And are closer to people and their ground realities. It won't be exaggeration if I say collective idea of all ward representatives is idea of whole country. So they have immense responsibilities.      Person elected as representative of ward is call corporators. They are ref...

Natrual Farming : an alternative to organic farming

Image
            Now days if we think of anything natural first things that comes to our mind is that it would be a slow process. Also it may have less output than other artificial variants. But its not necessarily true.  Natural process are infact more robust. One of strong argument in favor would be that it has evolved over millions of years and has survived various changes and catastrophes.  Same applies for farming s well.           Natural farming tries to use of all positive aspects of nature. For e.g. farmers use ploughing to soften soil. This enables roots to grow and spread easily. In natural farming earthworms and microbes available in soil do this work. Natural environment is created for them. Microbes and earth worms dwell in dark and humid climate. They need organic material as their feed. With this understanding in natural farming organic mulching is spread over soil. With mulching its block light f...

West Bengal Elections 2021: Lessons for BJP

Image
West Bengal Elections: Its was not BJP vs TMC but rather ( TMC + other opposition). Other parties not getting significant no. can't be coincidence rather a planned activity. It stopped vote splitting as vote bank of TMC and other opposition is same. Opposition vote got consolidated giving advantage to TMC. And why to forget about absence of BJP star campaigner RG . Now BJP will know his importance. Congress was kept out of entire episode as people don't want to relate to it in any way. Strategical move by opposition parties. This will be BJP's primary concern in coming day's There are much more for BJP to analyze and take corrective action. This also made me fan of Prashant Kishore an intellectual in political arena. Will close it with his words “In defeat, people must be humble enough to acknowledge where they went wrong,”
