So reveals an RTI inquiry into its MPIC (Monthly Programme Implementation Calendar). While 3 outcomes of this mammoth spending looks specific, the 4th
which says – slum development for 300 slums by
2013 is vague. Monthly activities that would achieve the financial and physical
targets are conveniently overlooked. This is precisely how adhoc measures are
resorted to.
Also wonder if these forms are real, meaning were submitted to the
finance commission, and if so wonder how it accepted such grossly underdone
statements.
One template from the agri sector shows how an MPIC looks
like. This is a very crucial tool in tracking each sector spending.
Will keep
pursuing these and particularly of the BWSSB, again through RTI to its logical
end – to put a planning process in BWSSB.
That is one way of using RTI in a creative way.
Other segments needs to be addressed to. More we use RTI, more we learn to put it to good use - not just as a tool for info, but to bring in systemic changes, the way govt functions. Just the begining!
