FUNDS ALLOCATION: FLAGSHIP PROGRAMS

Priority should be given to smaller projects and projects-on-hold

In order to end the middle men commission concept and faulty tender processes, the government needs to adopt a fast-track single-window technical tendering process. The release of funds have to made much more efficient and quick – thus enabling the project to go on as per the schedule – as well as fines charged not just for implementation delays but also for unused funds (aka ADB). Smaller projects should be necessarily targeted first. For example, the JNNURM sanction should be immediately used for public facilities like roads, water in village areas, as these are the small projects that can be tendered and completed double quick.

Another innovative procedure could be to provide appropriate incentives to the tender awardees for completing plans before time and within budgets. Most importantly, well paid professional managers should be employed to manage and rate these projects from the government’s end. Believe us, it works to hire intelligent humans. Well, how many times have government ‘Abhiyans’ been rated on an Economic Value Added concept?
