Shri Narendra Modi ji,

Hon. Prime Minister of India,

New Delhi.

Dear Prime Minister,

I am Amit Girdhar Heda from Nagpur. Please allow me to present a few pertinent issues, that in my personal opinion hold high significance.

Prompt cognizance, transparency, accountability and immediate corrective action along with its due communication to the complainant in public domain would play a major Constructive role in today’s socio political scenario. More so, since the advent of powerful social media. What policies the government makes at the higher level and how it will eventually benefit them in due course, probably has lesser significance to the general public. For, the “Aam Janta” with limited resources and approaches, forms their opinion about a particular Department/Administration or even the entire Government Machinery based on the ease and the effectiveness with which their day to day grievances are addressed and resolved.

In the similar context, along with other media, accounts on Twitter and other social media and it's regular usage should be made compulsory for all Government Authorities & Departments. This will be of great help to the public to register their Grievances, Complaints & even Suggestions. A dedicated working social media handle will surely help sort out many social as well as administrative issues. While it will be very easy for the public to express their opinions, it will, in turn, reduce the work load of government departments. At the same time it will help identify efficient and honest Authorities and Departments.

To quote a few examples, Railway ministry is active on twitter. People appreciate the fact that they can forward their grievances against a particular problem/service related with railways to its twitter handle and they get immediate response in majority of the cases. I have personal experience that various departments like POLICE among others too are active and constructively satisfy public grievances through this medium.  Likewise the other departments/authorities too will be careful, cautious and alert in performing their duties for the fear that the same tweet (complaint/query) can be addressed to and seen by their superiors.

Yes, the percentage of people using twitter is comparatively quite less and it has limitations of words but it along with other mediums surely can be an effective medium to bring transparency and efficiency in administrative works.

With sincere hope that my suggestions, if found reasonable would be duly looked upon.

Most Respectfully,

Amit Girdhar Heda.

Open Letter to the Hon. Prime Minister

July 8, 2019.

To

Shri Narendra Modi ji,

Hon. Prime Minister of India,

New Delhi.

Dear Prime Minister,

Among the many initiatives undertaken and stressed upon by the government, one is to save papers or cut down the use of papers, primarily intended to save trees and in turn the environment. The government has very rightly advocated ‘judicious’ use of paper to government ministries and departments, pointing out that this would not only cut down on wasteful spending but also help the environment. Railway Ministry promotes E-Tickets and appeals the passengers to avoid getting it printed. Government offices have also been asked to encourage e-forms and online submission of forms. “Injudicious use of paper not only leads to infructuous expenditure but also impacts the environment as trees are a major source of paper pulp production,” said a missive by the department of expenditure in the finance ministry.  Needless to say, that all this is a part of the “Go Green” mission aimed towards protecting the environment.

Sir, in the same context and with similar intention, is it not possible that School books can be promoted to be recycled? By recycling – I mean the parents buy the books at the beginning of an academic session and once the session is over – they return the books to the school. Can’t we devise a system wherein recycled school books can be made available at lesser costs both at the school and at the publisher level? Parents will be more than happy to donate/sell the used books. This way not only unnecessary consumption and wastage of paper would be avoided but also books at a cheaper price would be available to the general public. Those who are well off/un bothered may not have any problem with the ever rising school fees and the cost of books but the average middle class (that are in majority) would be immensely benefited by such arrangement.

Of-course the publishers and perhaps the schools may not appreciate the idea (for commercial reasons), nevertheless, if initiated and promoted by the government it may work wonders not only for our ‘Mother Earth’ but will also lend a helping hand to the general public.

Though a small step, this would be one genuine approach towards “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Most Respectfully,

Amit Girdhar Heda.

शासन एवं प्रशासन की लापरवाही से हुए हादसों की शिकार जनता

हम सभी की (जनता) ये आदत है की हम हमेशा जो समय चल रहा है उसके बहाव मे बहते जाते है। जबकी हकीकत ये है की हमारा सिर्फ उपयोग होता है... कहीं कम कहीं ज्यादा ये दूसरी बात है. जिम्मेदार भी हम ही है.. समय समय पर किसी एक को इतना चढ़ा देते है की हमे ही नही पता होता की हम क्या कर रहें है। नतीजा हम सालों से अनुभव कर ही रहे है। किसी को भी उतना ही सर आँखों पे रखो जितना जरूरी हो और सही हो.. वरना फिर शिकायत करने का अधिकार हम खुद ही खो देते है।

याद रखें  "रावण को जलाने से पहले हम खुद ही उसे खडा करते है..."

शासन किसी भी पक्ष का हो, छलती जनता ही है।
आए दिन शासन और प्रशासन की गैरजिम्मेदारी से हुई दुर्घटनाओं में सदियों से पीड़ित जनता को समर्पित...

"दुखद हादसा

जनता का ग़ुस्सा

सोशल प्लेटफॉर्म-मीडिया में

सुर्खियों का दौर

आरोप प्रत्यारोप चहुं और

सभी ओर प्रोटेस्ट

हादसा लेटेस्ट

कैंडल का मार्च

इस्तीफा दो इंचार्ज

विपक्ष मे रोष

अधिकारी मे होश

उच्च लेवल समीति का गठन

सरकार का खेद-चिंतन-मंथन

मुवावजे का ऐलान

दोषियों को न बक्षने का फरमान

घायलों- परिजनों की वेदना

सरकार-पक्ष-विपक्ष की संवेदना...

कब तक??

जिम्मेदारी की मारी 

जनता बेचारी

लुटती रहेगी

छलती रहेगी

पिसती रहेगी

लड़ती रहेगी

कब तक?

जनता का आक्रोश जैसे ही थमेंगा

मीडिया भी नए हादसों-

नए सुर्खियों में रमेगा

अधिकारी फिर होंगे मदहोश

विपक्ष खोजेगा नया दोष

सरकार खुद को ठेहराएंगी निर्दोष

फिर चुनाव का दौर

वादों, उम्मीदों से जनता भाव विभोर

नई सत्ता, नया पक्ष-विपक्ष

दिक्कतें वही जनता समक्ष

दुखद हादसा.."
