Ee question ki answer alochinchandi. What is India famous for? India is famous for highly skilled cheap labour.(naa prakaaram)

Naa uddesam prakaaram manam inka ilaage undadaaniki kaaranam saraina awareness lekapovadam. Chinnapatinunchi mana pillalni orey nuvvu engineer avvalano ledo doctor avvalano nooripostaam. "Engg varaku kastapadara aa tarvatha dabbe dabbu. CI avvara suitcaselu intikostaayi..." Asala pillavadu engg gaani doctor gaani ayyaka vaadu ye rakanga society ki upayogapadagalado vaadiki evaranna cheptunnaraa ? (naaku teleedu mari.) Anthenduku oka citizen ga manaki unde hakkulu gaani mana power gaani poorthiga manaki telsaa ?

Anduke govt officello vaallu cheppinde vedam chesinde natyam. Manaki edaina avasaram vasthe tappa manam govt gurinchi pattinchukovatledu.

Mana desam lo mana kastam tho tayaruchesina vastuvulne vaadadaam. Ituvanti decision valla Indian industries lo oka rakamaina competition erpadi undedi.

Ee desi competition valla mana research and manufacturing processes baaga stringent ayyi manchi quality products ni ivvagaligi undevaaru. May be if it had continued longer our products would have stood a chance to be among the top brands in the world. Manam bmw cars tayaru cheyyalekapovachu… but still we would have produced a car which would give all the Mercs and bmws a run for their money. We would have positioned ourselves among the world leaders by now.

Ask yourselves how many of the products we use daily come from the Indian stable?

Naku Indian industrial sector gurinchi antha avagaahana ledu… meeku telisi, opika unte naku kuda cheppandi.

Ee vidhanga naa burra tyagaraaya keerthanulu aarunnra sruthi lo paadestundi. Manaki telsina management sutraalu konni mana govt ki apply chesthe ....?

Ivi ila kaakapoyina vere ye vidhanga naina prastutam mana govt lo jargutunnayo ledo naaku teleedu. Naakanipinchinavi ivi.

1. Govt ki sambandinchina prathi procedure and processess anni... ye ye processess ki entha time teeskuntundo (SLA laaga)... anni clear cut ga define chesi oka concrete form lo janalaki andubaatu lo unchaali.

2.People are the power of an organization. Mana govt lo unde prathee dept kuda one year ki oka saari oka newsletter laantidi publish cheyyali. Andulo aa one year lo vaallaki vachina funds, vaati allocation, vaatitho chestunna panula progress veetannititho paatu aa panulaki responsible ainatuvanti vaalla contacts undaali. Ee rakanga information awareness kontha perugutundi janaallo.

3.Auditing. Govt ante bothiga monopoly aipoyindi vaadem chepthe ade nadustundi. So palana govt pani sarigga chestunda ledaa ani chuddaaniki oka third party chetha daani processess ni audit cheyyinchaali.

Enni processlunna manalo transparency lekapothe saadhinchagalgindi emi ledu....(asala kaavalsinde idi)

Govt mana andariki jobs ivvalekapovachu…. Ivvaledu kuda. But all we have is thought power. We can atleast think of some ideas which would make a difference. We may not actually
implement our ideas but they will certainly be of use for someone someday.

How can this be the end…?

P.S: you may feel that i am against globalisation... I have elaborated about it in the comments.

Epilogue

Nijaaniki passport avasaram naakippudu ledu. I just took it up as a social experiment to see how it feels like to be completely on your own in this world. It’s miserable. It makes you question your values…contradict your beliefs…doubt your abilities and test your patience to such an extent that you almost lose faith in your SELF.

By the way… the whole thing…It’s a life sucking experience.

P.S: God save the system !
