Will
Indians take serious notice that there is a wide slip between the cup and the
lip!
A
lot of things are going good for India and many Indians, and therefore it is
easy to miss the yawning gap that defines the wonderful intentions of the
government and the ground realities of how these intentions will translate into
a better India for Indians and for the world at large.
Think
about it – the Prime Minister exhorts citizens and corporate India to participate
and deliver success in campaigns such as Make In India, Swachh Bharat (Clean
India), a Digital India, or even Adopt a Village by each Member of Parliament.
It is true that a visionary government and its leader need time to show
results, and I am most willing to wait, but I am afraid the wait will end up
frustrating me and many Indians like me, because I see these campaigns are (a) still
lacking “local champions” at many of the key implementation organizations (read
ministries and government departments) and (b) are not based on a
participative-risk-reward management framework for local stakeholders.
The
need to include both the- above-mentioned approaches will require innovations
that change these campaigns from being government schemes to projects that
excite entrepreneurs, investors and local government departments to sign up for
projects that can be appropriately rewarded
for objectively-certified successes.
And
this brings us to the core theme of this blog – the need for lateral thinking!
Any body listening?
Happy
to hear your views. Wishing you all a great week ahead.
