Poor governance in India: Part III
The expansion of the family planning infrastructure in rural areas which the country has undertaken in the last few years will become effective only if corresponding improvement in the quality of service takes place.
POOR GOVERNANCE is also responsible for not effectively monitoring the fundamental duties that are ignored by a large number of Indians. - spread the message of peace and brotherhood amongst all the Indian citizens irrespective of linguistic, religious and regional or sectional diversities;
- bother about the impairment of the dignity of women;
protect and promote the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India;
protect public property and avoid violence; respect and preserve the rich heritage of Indian culture;
contribute towards making improvements in all spheres of individual and collective functions to take the nation to new heights of achievement; develop the spirit of inquiry and reform, a scientific temper and sense of humanism;
provide defense and national service when called upon to the country during hours of crisis;
preserve the natural environment of India like the forests, lakes, rivers and wild life and to have a compassionate outlook towards the living creatures;
show discipline and good demeanor in public life, and
bother about pollution of all kinds in public life.
Besides all this most of the Indians are normally
Offensive ( they pee and spit in public, they push and shove)
Arrogant ( they are abusive, they litter, and they mistreat foreigners)
impatient ( they are prone to road rage, they shout at others, they violate traffic rules, they lack public responsibility, and they break queues) In case the Governance is strong, and the offenders are punished in a deterrent way, no one would dare to repeat these blunders. In this context, India should learn from the experience of some of the East Asian countries and also from some of the middle east countries.
Healthcare and Hygiene: In India the access to these services is very limited and until the present the government's attention was focused on the expansion of services, namely opening of primary health centers and sub-centers for the rural population. This expansion was carried on without giving emphasis to the quality aspect. This resulted in the government primarily concerned with meeting targets of infrastructure and human power.
This is especially true of family planning services. The expansion of the family planning infrastructure in rural areas which the country has undertaken in the last few years will become effective only if corresponding improvement in the quality of service takes place. Perceiving quality to be luxury in resource poor settings, international donors, national policy makers and local providers have directed their attention to expansion of services ignoring for the most part the nature of these services. Not surprisingly then researchers investigating the health sector in developing countries rarely focus explicitly on the assessment of existing services
