Once as a free nation we have adopted a constitution that says "We, the people of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic and to secure to all its citizens......................... "
The colonial phrases like Govt. Servant and Govt. Work have become redundant and need to be abondoned. Phrases - Public Servant and Public Service be used instead which conveys belonginess and devotion towards common citizen.
It is no more a kings or Queens crown service, such colonial phrases keep alive the colonial tendencies of misuse and abuse of power and authority.
5 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoWhat would be the fate of large hydropower projects in next ten years from now?
Hydrogen cell is a very big contender as alternative fuel or energy source. High energy demand and price would compel the automobile industry to change their flow sheet soon, similarly energy promoters would cease to invest in large hydropower projects due to availability of cheap energy from hydrogen cell. Can we say that large hydropower projects and proposals have bleak future in coming years and we should go for smaller hydropower projects which can be completed in 5-6 years and also have small physical and financial layouts. Small hydropower projects can be planned on Total Integrated micro watershed basis to have least or Zero adverse impact on environment as well as settlements & existing infra-structure. By the time hydrogen cell and other alternative energy sources replace thermal & hydropower mix energy, the small hydropower projects can supplement the energy demand in shortest possible time frame.

2 AnswersEngineering1 decade agoWhat can be done to expedite delivery of justice in India?
We have long pendency of cases in various courts, justice delayed is justice denied.
There are many factors for this: (1) lack or poor infra-structure, (2) less number of judges and courts for the huge population, (3) Adjournments, (4) large number of cases involving govt. as a litigant, (5) amendments to archival laws lying pending, (6)lack of transparency and accountability of public authorities, etc.
