Saving public ryan


With the disinvestment threats looming large, the PSUs are on the verge of being wiped from our social landscape. PSUs are the evidence of state's presence, and in the past the welfare state is identified with the number of product and services it offered to its citizen. All was well!, we were able to do justice to our NAM (non-alignment movement ), we could say that we 'the socialists' in spirit and theory (constitution ) ,We stood alone amidst hostilities from western corners of the globe .The west grew! it engulfed the smaller states infected them with its privates ( not with STDs ), it had its say, bullied the naysayers, It continued till we were forced to surrender due to external pressures.

Economics replaced the social commitments during the liberalisation era, The PSUs were seen as failed organisations and many changes were brought reduced their number . The present state is pretty confused , whether to comply or not comply. if complied what is the meaning of the presence of the word Socialist democratic republic in our preamble ?. ok now that we had tasted the so called 8% growth , we are bound to show-off to the world. So disinvestment and like measures may follow to contain the deficits .

The recent crisis showed even the so called Pvt Corps, are vulnerable and if they fail , the result is more nastier than when the PSUs fail. The thing about private corps is that, they are saved , nursed back to their exploiting best , at the cost of tax-payers. The same crisis when looms on PSUs the matter is dealt with iron hand, and bullying . The moral obligation of social service and liabilities are largely missing in the services of Pvt corps, and when events such as BHOPAL gas tragedy , Deep horizon oil spill happens, we search for laws and sub -clauses to punish them.

A re-think is needed for reviving the PSUs or bringing the spirit of service morals to Pvt corp.The latter if happens, then Sahara would blossom. The good old PSUs now parnering with the Pvt is another viable option in this present irreversible globalisation era. It adds the 'moral servicing' factor to the pvt and also has the whip when the Pvt ,errs.

The increasing interdependency between nations ,especially between the Developed and under-developed can be used to tie their national organisations through technology transfers for global and local service deliveries, this could minimise the complexities that frequently crops up in WTO issues , will also smoothen the regional integration processes, and totally eliminates the Pvt corp intermediaries.

Now,The great Indian perestroika awaits increasing public character in service delivery to wipe the ills of poverty , malnutrition and exploitation. Innovation and bright minds , can bring about drastic changes in publics, altogether going private gives room for future problems , especially for a country like India.
