Nitin Pai is totally wrong.
HC Gupta cannot be presumed to be upright simply because of anecdotal evidence.
HC Gupta tried to bend the rules, to please manmohansingh. You cannot presume it happened without reason, unless a good case was documented for bending the rules.
Ultimately coal blocks is all about who gets to make money from coal. Public interest means you cannot bend the rules or you have to be presumed to be corrupt.
So people like H C Gupta are no better than intentionally corrupt, because the end result of their act is corruption.
If decision-making by Government Servants has to be accelerated, then a way must be found whereby these officers are not penalized for their HONEST decisions which might , in hindsight , turn out to be erroneous / genuine mistakes of judgement
Such ” genuine errors of judgement ” are a regular occurrence in all walks of life by every human being
In private sector, officers are encouraged to take BOLD decisions , even in absence of ALL the relevant data / info , in most uncertain situations and likely ” actions / reactions ” by the competitors or technological innovations , lurking around the corner !
It is high time this ” private sector culture ” is imbibed in governments
How ? Consider my following email sent to the Cabinet Ministers / NITI Aayog ,:
Reforms 2.0 – it ought to have been 3.0 now – are also required to put the economy back on a high growth path. One, the figures are incredible, second we are growing on a base of $ 2,000 per capita income, so fastest growing means little.
