Today as I was reading the Local newspaper of city named
NOBAT, one of its articles appealed my eyes. No the news wasn’t fascinating at
all but somehow it wasn’t actually a news. It was featuring the news about
scandal in government’s Khilkhilat Yojana by G.G.Hospital (Jamnagar). The cut
of article can be seen below, for those who can read gujarati:
For those who can’t read gujarati, let me elaborate. Under
the government’s khilkhilat yojana, some of the government hospitals are
providing drop back service in the ambulance for those ladies who has newly
given birth to a baby in the hospital, with the baby care kit and kit
beneficial to mother’s health as well. But this yojana isn’t benefiting the
normal people and those ladies and their kids for whom the yojana was
developed. The hospital staff or people involved in providing the facility are
taking the benefits by providing false record and raising funds for their own
pocket.
My first question is, do you think this is news? Of course
it is a news as it is featured in the newspaper but come on, we all know that
this kind of yojana are just made for the name sake. It has always been
beneficial to the makers and workers but not the normal public, for whom
actually the yojana was developed. All those who are educated, keep in touch
with news and the happening of society, we all know that this kind of government
yojana are taking away lots and lots of fund for the benefit of people, but the
benefits hardly reach those who have right over it. Hardly 20% of the total benefits might be
reaching to the actual public for whom the yojanas are made. Not only this, but
haven’t we all seen those shops made by government to deliver grocery items on
low rate to the public, have we not seen the constant unavailability of food
items or contaminated items being provided by the shop. Haven’t we seen those
yojanas providing house to the poor people on low rates being allotted to
relatives of the people working in particular department. Come on, we know everything most of us can just make
out that when the yojana is made, who will benefit and how. People like us
laugh after reading it, but those who are in need, who have hopes from the government
keep their eye on such yojanas. They sometimes run to the places, try hard,
stand in long queues and hardly get anything.
My question to all of you is, when we know each and
everything happening around us in a very obvious manner, why are we always
silent? And if we all normal people can make out this normal happening around
us, can the people making those yojana can’t see? Why only when media takes
over any issue the serious decisions are taken? My point is that why can’t we
have a direct complaint option, which could reach without interruption to the government?
Mr. Narendra Modi after being a PM is no doubt trying to do a
great job by creating many beneficial plans and keeping an eye on his ministers
etc. But our country and specially those people working on government sector
are just fearless. There are no strict laws for corruption, if media catches
someone live they are suspended, is that enough? No it is not at all enough and
the system, the way our government is dealing with those age old options isn’t right, because we now have many more powerful options and not using them in a right way is total stupidity. I believe our PM has a
vision of better nation but his vision needs to go long and long enough so as to reach each and every one of 1.252
billion people of India.
How is it possible? It is possible with the efforts from
each one of us. The way RTI has decreased many issues and created a fear to
give a responsible answer after being questioned by any normal person is just
outstanding. And I believe we should have a similar way of making our complaint
reach directly to the highest authorities without any interference.
Can government not create a website with a complaint form,
where in any normal person can reach with any proof or information that he has
against the corrupt government employees? The process could be very simple, you
can input your PAN / Passport / Adhar Card number and feed in your contact
details as well as elaborate the detailed information of the corruption with
attachment of the proofs. Nowadays our mobile makes it really easy for any one
of us to take and capture the proofs. And all those proof directly can reach
our ministry or may be the panel specially made for it and that panel can inquire or take action about the complaint without disclosing the name of a
person who complained against them. And taking the reference of government id number can
also stop people from giving false complaints.
I am raising this voice to let our Honorable PM read it and
look in to the matter with his powerful vision and capable team to come to a
solution for this. And I request each and every one of my reader to spread this
message, so much that it gets read by the governing authorities. It is my
humble appeal, to speak up and do not stay quite. I know this yojana and its
benefits are not for you and me, but it surely helps those needy people, finally its our money, that hard earned money, which we pay to government in the form of tax and that money is the money used for the betterment of our nation and the people living therein. We should be as thoughtful in this matter as we are when using or expending our money. The right money, the right fund and the right benefit of any yojana should only go to the person who deserves it rightly. And we have to raise our voice for this, we have to raise our voice for those who don't have a voice. Coz if
we do not raise our voice for them, their voice will never be heard by anyone.
We are the youth and today with the social media taking control on everything
we youth are a super power. We should not waste our power, we should raise our
power, we should all together fight for better India and speak up for anything
that is happening around us.
