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.

I remembered reading an article which mentioned Narayan Murthy of Infosys praisingh Modis capabilities as an able administrator, found the article after googling...

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.

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:

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.

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.
