So which Indian states are best prepared to handle increased investigative workload with the new criminal code that aims to modernize the country's criminal justice system and ensure speedy justice to all? Odisha State Police seems to be leading the charge (along with Gujarat) by equipping their State Forensic Science Laboratory (SFSL) with cutting-edge bio-forensics tech "Rapid DNA" - an automated portable DNA testing tool that can be operated by non-scientist investigating officers to find a match in 90 minutes! This technology, which is revolutionising law enforcement the world over, will be able to help the Indian law enforcement agencies investigate serious and time sensitive crimes like rape, murder & terrorist attacks with lighting speed by swiftly by eliminating innocent suspects and identifying the real perpetrators. Salute visionaries like Keshav Kumar, IPS ( Retd ) and Arun Bothra, IPS for helping realise this project #DNAforJustice https://lnkd.in/g_y6rMJe

The department of government efficiency(doge) proposed in the new Trump administration has initiated discussions about the possibility of a similar body in India to oversee wasteful government expenditure. However, government departments in India, apart from discharging their legally mandated sovereign functions, also double as avenues of formal employment for a majority of the population. Cutting back on government recruitment or slashing existing posts is politically challenging even for the most revered leaders. What this means is that the government recruits to create employment and not to deliver results. The country then gets trapped in a state of low productivity. All incentives for performance are eliminated. In fact, my personal experience shows that performance is often punished. Secondly, hardly 20% of the functioning strength of any government department is enough to maintain the existing level of productivity. A huge chunk of bureaucracy simply exists to control the population from achieving its full potential. Its only function is to trap prosperity in a web of unnecessary procedures. It acts to perpetuate this inefficient system and suck wealth out of the pockets of general citizens. This manifests as the ubiquitous corruption that we all have grown to loathe. The wealth is then put into the service of the ruling nobility. If this sounds too medieval, it is! The government therefore can’t support a functional department of efficiency in India. If such a department were to fulfil its mandate, it would have to tamper with very fundamental power structures of the society

The passage of a budget by a state assembly is a critical aspect of governance, ensuring the state's financial management aligns with its developmental goals and public welfare. However, in the context of Jammu and Kashmir, the absence of statehood and a fully empowered government raises concerns about its impact. Without a robust legislative framework and a government with full authority, the accountability, transparency, and alignment of budgetary decisions with public needs may remain compromised.

Introspection Over Blame Game: A Lesson for Congress and MVA Rather than blaming external factors like the Election Commission of India (ECI) for their losses, Congress should look inward. Bunty Shelke, their own candidate from Nagpur, has openly stated that internal infighting within the party played a key role in his defeat. Similarly, the MVA coalition should introspect on their own shortcomings rather than shifting blame to others. True political maturity lies in taking responsibility and addressing internal challenges head-on, rather than playing the blame game. In the world of politics, accountability and self-reflection are crucial for growth and future success. #IndianPolitics #Congress #MVA #Leadership #Introspection #PoliticalAccountability #SelfReflection #ElectionResults #PoliticalStrategy

The Economic Survey 2023-24 as "Way forward in education" recognizes education as one of the most critical areas for India's development. To realize the same, unity of purpose and convergence of efforts across the Centre, State and Local Government is called for, as 'public education' is a Concurrent List subject.

“A more balanced federal design across the three tiers of the Indian state would be a better reflection of the concerns of 21st century India.” writes @CafeEconomics, Executive Director at Artha Global, in LiveMint. https://bit.ly/4dhd3pT. Niranjan argues that there are three issues at the core of local Indian governments’ struggles with service delivery: financial challenges of local governments, clarity of purpose, and staffing issues. The Union government should focus on policy frameworks and national public goods; state governments should prioritise local public goods, and compete for investments, while local governments should concentrate on development programmes that impact citizens daily.
