Modi effect - Be on time !

One thing I appreciate in Modi is, he tackles the roots of the problem. We all know punctuality and good time management can solve all the problems be it in an institution or an individual. Visionary Modi, did not give long sermons from platforms. He started what he wanted to achieve from him. From his own cabinet.

Besides Narayana Murthy, in the past many intellectuals, able administrators and Corporate Bigwigs talked greatly about the niche points in Modi as an Administrator.

I agree everyone should come on time - it maintains discipline. But sitting late is not a proper practice, especially because someone higher in the hierarchy is sitting late. It is a waste of time as the support staff has left and all lights are kept on and few staff members who stay back have to be paid overtime. Instead the superior authority should inform in advance to such officers who are needed on a particular day to stay back.

Every minute in Modi's cabinet is being utilized in a productive way. A typical Modi Cabinet meet is 100 % utilization. Not just whiling away time.

I agree with that, unless they are compensated they will lose interest in work, although they may say back and do their job, the quality may suffer...

But its not happening In Modi's cabinet meets. Each member is given a task and a time. This condition of fulfilling finishing the task is closely monitored.

In the factory I used to work, the last two IAS MD's started this culture of all senior officers have to stay back till the MD is in the office beyond five o'clock. It became a torture because, he would hardly interact with one or two officers and not at all on many days. Imagine sitting in your offices for two to three hours with no work as all the support staff leave at five. Only the peons enjoyed because they got overtime.There is a item circulated in the Internet in which ex president Abdul Kalam advises everyone not to overstay beyond duty hours. It is tiring alos to sit in office for nearly 12 hours everyday. One is not against working hard but it has to be done with some care for others also. Almost everyone has families to take care of also.

Father of white revolution Verghese Kurien once while on his routine office rounds, he found one officer working beyond the office Hours. Kurien asked, "Why you are here after the office working Hours?"

The employee replied, "I want to finish my unfinished work Sir."
" If you could not finish your assigned normal job in the regular hours of the office ? do you think you can finish in extra hours? It shows your lack of time sense and discipline.. If I see you again working beyond office hours, you will be shown exit." Kurien said and left.
Over staying doesn't mean sincerity, but inefficiency.

Ever since Modi has been elected as the PM, I see some ray of hope in terms of a better and a brighter India. When Modi made it a rule saying no more attestation of important documents/certificates are required since we need to provide the original for various official works, it made sense. And now asking officials to be punctual and disciplined will definitely pay off in the long run.

Perhaps it should be 'optimum government,optimum governance' - already reports are coming that many ministers are feeling the strains of handling many ministeries.

Yes. Many ministers are feeling the stress. It shows How Modi is determined to drive away that old habits of easy going.

This should be the ideal scenario to achieve maximum productivity and superior work. Sadly, in the corporate world, it is the authority figures who walk in quite late and sit through late evenings trying to get their work done and they expect their juniors to accompany them all the way. Juniors then slowly start coming in late too and it becomes a trend. I have seen this happen all the time and I used to suffer during my appraisals since I refused to stay back late! :unsure:

Refusing to stay back is a good stance you have taken. In my case once when I refused to stay back I was warned of dereliction of duty.and insubordination. These are the factors Modi has determined to scrap.

Asking people to work late just because the senior most person sits till late is exploitation. Karl Marx has proved in his Das Capital how the owners gain by making people work more and be paid only on 8 hour basis. You are very right in your observations.

Actually, such things affect the senior officers and staff proximate to minister in the secretariat. Most staff in the country seldom see a minister. Personally, I served for twenty two years in central government service. In my entire service, I never saw a minister during course of job.

The control of subordinate offices is more by way of reports and returns. Most ministers cannot be even aware of various offices under their control in the entire country.

Exactly. But why such hulla bulla is being made as if officers will only now start working.

Over staying with a purpose is strong determination to clear the accumulated and piled up works of some body's laziness and "Who cares " attitude. Over staying simply because the light in the senior officer's is still glowing is foolishness. I refused to follow this foolish norm.

There is what is called protocol in al gvernment deoartments which is nothing but a hinderance to all lower officers and government serbvants since they cannot move an inch before their seniormost does...Indians are good at holding on to such useless hangovers from British days which they have left and moved on ! I guess the top leaders and officers get pleasure out of this - watching the juniors waiting on them and suffering in silence !!
