What is "Dharma" ?

The  "Dharma" needs to be understood as which "Dharyati". Since both these words are of sanskrit therefore one needs to understand that Dharma stands for religion and Dharyati stands for that sustainance. It means thet Dharma is a set of universal rules/laws which are helpful in sustaining the society. God is the creator and  the creation and also the laws which sustain the creation are god only. If this gets cleared all conflicts about religion would get resolved.

Corporate Socilal Responsibility (CSR)



Companies are putting in efforts to help society under CSR scheme which happens to be mandatory. But if you look in to the contributions they are like donations. In my view biggest CSR is the responsibility for promoting quality education. Presently quality of education from primary level to higher education level happens to be very poor. Keeping in view importance of education in building the nation CSR scheme should be utilized only for making available quality education.

Dignity of Labour

Indian corporate world should promote dignity of labour aggresively if it wishes to succeed in the global scenario. It has been observed that workforce does not receive respect from the management. Any and every organization needs varied kind of services to achieve its goal then why should workforce not be respected equally. As on date white collar job is the preference for for all youngsters.

Quality of Primary Education

Primary education happens to be the foundation of education and therefore efforts need to be put in for imparting best possible primary education. It is worth mentioning that learn-ability among children up to the age of 11 to 12 years is of highest level and subsequently it comes down gradually. Unfortunately in India we are ignoring this aspect in government schools. Government primary schools neither have good infrastructure nor good teachers (willing teachers) particularly in rural and tribal areas. Even in urban areas the quality of infrastructure in government schools is poor compared to private schools. Schools are getting managed like government departments. Efforts therefore need to be put in for improving the quality of infrastructure and teachers. What I mean by good teacher is a willing teacher, unless the teacher is willing to teach he/she can’t prove to be a good teacher. Efforts also need to be put in for seeking support from society for managing school's affairs. All these ideas should be attempted in a few schools on pilot scale once they succeed these could be implemented in other areas. Ethics/morality/humanity need to be emphasized right from the beginning of primary education. Efforts should be such that government schools should be able to compete with private schools effectively.

Corruption

Have we ever thought why corruption is spreading? Unless we analyse the reasons for its spread aany kind of laws will not be fruitful in curbing corruption. In my personal view primary education should be improved and there should be emphasis on ethics in the curriculum. Also the governence should be ccorruption free. I have witnessed if top person is honest all the persons working with him/her will never dare to resort to corruption.
Unfortunately all our politicians seek power for enjoying facilities and not for serving the society. Why so many cars are needed for moving one minister? Why should there be a red light on car just to notify that a VIP is moving. This approach of ministers and burochrats creates the atmosphere for corruption.

Concept of profit centre

Everyone wants profit and wish to avoid the loss. Obviously the reason is simple; efforts put in should give good results for any and every activity. All beings are keen to pursue this fundamental principle while taking up activities. This for example could be easily witnessed in any business.

There was a time when profiteering was a bad name. But can we say so in reality from heart, particularly when all being want more results for fewer inputs. Any activity can be sustained on long term basis only when it is profitable.

It is also true that for all activities their inputs output cannot be measured in monitory terms but some via-media is already there to measure the profit it could be satisfaction or any other measure. All businesses and manufacturing activities are always measuring their performance in terms of profit only.

Now question come is governance not an activity? If it is, then why should it not be pursued on the concept of profit center? It has been observed that governments usually manage inputs for all the governance activities by levying taxes on common man but not at all concerned about the this concept. Is it OK? Why should concept of profit centre not get applied to governance to fix up accountability and cost effectiveness?

I am keen to seek views on this concept and pursue this concept in the interest of society.

Engineering Education

It is true that engineers happen to be engines of any economy and therefore growth of engineering education is good for a country. But it noteworthy that growth in engineering education should be pursued by always keeping in view the quality of education. Because if quality gets ignored it would create serious problems for the economy. How to ensure quality therefore is big challenge and I seek views/suggestion for facing this challenge.
