In all Governmental systemshether Monarchy,Dictatorship,Democracy or any other system of Government,all citizens are toeeated equal ,while conferming anny rights and duties , thoughf course weightage has toe given to the capacity,calibreof the citizen to contribute to the system. This very right to equality has been given to the Indian citizens through the Conastitution ,whuich Governments are considered as duty bound to follow. B alas this very directives contained in our Constitution is not followed, rather exceptions are madein many ways as for as dealing with the CITIZENS IS CONCERNED.
To quote some:
With provisions of Reservations at different levels, i.eeducation,jobs,Promotions etc,duties of the Governments towards those not covered as such , similar rights are being snatched. In the process where special previlleges are being given to some .the same are being snatched from the otheers,thus notonly reservatiions are given precedent over calibre and capacity,the systems are made to suffer,rather disfavours are done towards the others and bad blood and Divisions are created in the society.IN THE WISDOM OF THE MAKERS OF THE CONSTITUTIION,SUCH RESERVATIONS THOUGH RECOMMENDED fo 10 rs. only are permitted to be continued over a period of 60 yrs. after implementation of our Conatitition, and are reported to continue for many years more.
Where as for appointments in the Govt. jobs even for the most menial jobs, literacy level of the candidate as to be kept in view,but in the case of those wishing to be peoplesrepresentatives,who are supposed to be Law makers and Enforcers,even f tatally illitrate, are made eligible ,leave aside level of Educatiion,which should be even more assencial for such persons.
For those wishing to contest election and be people's representatives, no dig is done about their character where as fror jobs in the Goverements such a scrutiny is a must and criminals and bad characters do not get job, but many of those elected to represent the people at different Foras, are reported as criminals ,having committed many crimes inclu7ding,Murders,cheatings,robberies,apes,and destroying public and private properties,
Employees working in Govt.orivate sector,those not attending to their duties and not performing may loose jobs, but in the case of peoples representatives , such controls are missing,as we see from the vacant seats in thr Assemblies and Parliament.A good Percentage of such persons do not contribute at all during the whole of their term . Disturbances in these houses are much more than tyhe actual business transacted.
Many of those elected as peoples representatives are treated as VIVs and VVIPs and get preference over the general public in almost all systems of the STATE.Their vehicles depict plates ,sign boards indicating that they hjold special position in the Society. Many a times roads and trafic is closed for publifc for their convenience. Good it is that some preference say about 10/15 percentage be given to such personalities, while they are on very urge3nt Governmental duties ,but otherwise every body should move in the public ad COMMONER only so that others are not indonvenienced, some of them may still be on more urgent need to go,
Do we not do some thinking on all these matters and also give thought to the recent incident ,where lives of many Citizens was put on stake in the flying aeroplaness,simply because the plane to carry the Country'Presedent was to be given preference at what so ever the cast to the citizenery.
Too mANY SECURITY PERSONALS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED FOR THE SECURITY OF THE FEW I.E the so called VIPs and vvips , where as for genereal public very few are left to take care of.
R.D.Agarwal
Most assencial for developement ,from Indibvidual to the Nation is to EMPHASISE SOLLAY on DUTIEA than on RIGHTS.The reverse is being followed by our systems so for, a great cause for mosy illsw of our Society and the Country.

CONSERVING ENERGY
Most important is the will of the System i.e. Political and Executive to observe every thing in the Country honestly and fearlessly and also implement similarly. Still some suggestions are given.
For Electricity /Water/Coal etc.
It is understood that to some persons such as the Govt . Officials/the VIPs and VVIPs, the employees and Ex. employees of these undertakings, these facilities are provided free of cast or on the nominal fixed charges basis. This system does not make the users of these facilities conscious of the reasonable use and may indulge, many a times into unwanted use or wastages. The suggestion is that a change of this system is brought about and every one must be made to pay on the basis of meter readings, necessarily installed with every user. If at all some concessions are to be given, then this can be done by allowing some concession in the rates say to the maximum of 10% as applicable to the general public. If at all these persons are considered eligible for such facilities, they can be compensated by allowing some fixed allowances, which again should not be too much to tax the exchequer. But all consumptions must be through the meters installed invariably for the purpose.
The culture of High rise Buildings and Molls has invaded our society/the Country. In most these buildings, Lifts are installed, though mostly side by side stair cases are also provided. But sadly, observation is that even for going up and down up to 2/3 floors, lifts are used indiscriminately and even the very young and healthy persons seldom make use of the stairs, which exist just side by side. Simultaneously the generation is being deprived of the benefits of health and exercise, as the gain of using muscles by walking and on the stairs is last. The suggestion as such is that the use of lifts for at least up to 3/4 story’s except by the infirm and the old must be stopped, education/ persuasion or by using force of Law.
In the molls and some other places also, lifts and stair cases mostly exist, but at the same escalators are also provided. The old and the infirm are generally not able to make use of the escalators, which are used mostly by the young and the healthy. Not good for the health of the younger generation, besides being load on consumption of electricity. The old and infirm can use lifts, and others, the stair cases. As such, suggestion is that installation of escalators need be banned totally. Where ever these are already installed, can be made dysfunctional, and can be used only as stair cases.
It is understood that in many States electricity is supplied free of cost to the farmers and some others, treated as poor. The burden of these users has necessarily to be borne by others. Then such persons may make indiscriminate use to the extent of wastages. A very bad culture of doing administration and playing vote bank politics, besides developing habits of free services, indirectly beggars tendencies. If at all some class of people are to be helped, it can be done by permitting some concessions about 10 percent of general rates, but by all means, consumptions must be metered.
In offices, consumption of electricity is generally not taken care of by the general staff. To control wastages and un-needed use, some monitoring system must be put in place.
Petrol / Diesels, etc.
Consumption of these fuels to very large extent is responsible in polluting and heating up the atmosphere as well as creating concession on the roads. Corrections for the purpose are as under;
Most important is to minimize number of vehicles on the roads. The big sized four wheelers for private use must not find place on the roads, and loans to the private individuals for four wheelers must not be permitted. Students pursuing literacy up to any level must be made to attend the educational institution by going only on foot, the bicycles or may be permitted to use public transport. Going by the cycles will also help in improving the stamina of the user.
Many persons in the Govt. jobs are provided vehicles for performing official duties, but the general feeling is that such facilities are being provided to too many positions holders and the vehicles are used too much for personal use by such persons and their families. Suggestion if that wherever such position holders reside in the block of building provided by the Govts. , their going and coming from the offices can be pooled. To check on the misuse of the vehicles, every facilitator must be forced to be very particular to maintain the log book, where in entries must be made at the start of the vehicle and reaching the destination. There can be made a system to check these vehicles any where in between to ensure that the system is functional.
In the name of personal security, many a times, too many vehicles move with only one single position holder. Here too lot of controls are needed .For show of strength ,political parties have gone into the culture of organizing big rallies, where in people are collected from different parts of thee state, some times even from other parts of the country and in the process, thousands of vehicles are put on the roads. Misuse of the Govt. machinery and vehicles too can not be ruled out. Meaning a burden on the public exchequer, and burning of fuels. The suggestion is that ban need be imposed on such type of rallies.
To press for demands by different sections of society, large numbers of people are brought in from different places to create crowds, just to put more pressure on the system, many a times, properties, private and public are also destroyed by such crowds. Such gatherings need be banned and destroying of properties and creating hindrances in movement of the system can be treated as criminal acts, punishable severely under the law. To air grievances and views, the media, print and electronic can be made instruments. Thus need for rallies and processions, can be eliminated.
Earlier consumption bill for electricity and telephones were made payable only once in two month, but for the last about ¾ years bills for electricity/telephones/mobiles are required to be paid every month. System puts a lot of pressure on the concerned departments, by way of consumption of electricity for preparation and dispatch of such bills. In the process lot of paper work is naturally also involved, meaning further burdon on the expenses side of the govts., without adding anything extra into the Govts. Kitty. The consumers too are inconvenienced in many ways, by running to make payments every month involving time and energy, which is consumed in the process of attending to the paying counters. The suggestion as such is that all such bills can be collected, if not on six monthly basis, then minimum quarterly. It would save a lot of expenses and energy at all levels. If at all the system feels loss of faith on the consumers, then some security money cash be deposited from the consumers, which can be some what more than the average consumption for the prescribed period. In these days of inflation, it may not be difficult for most persons to shell out such sums in lump sum. However in case some consumers feel unable to make such bulk deposits, in their care billing can be done as concerned dept. feel in their wisdom.
Wish the enlightened and concerned citizens take up these issues at appropriate levels, so that country is able to make a check on use and misuse of energy at all levels.
