In response to the RTI applications filled with KSIIDC, there was a meeting between Mr Nagaraj, DGM, KSIIDC and a couple of Praja members. The meeting was a very cordial one and Mr Nagesh apart from giving us the requested documents also shared with us his views on the development of BIAL.

Karnataka's Accountant General - dead or alive?

12/15/08 17:28 - silkboard

Ever been to the CAG website? Its of interest because it provides useful data on how select government departments are doing with tax payer's money. Look at this report on NAL (National Aero Lab) for example, and see how CAG details NAL's failure to meet its targets. Or see this report on allotment of housing by DDA. Don't we wish Karnataka too had a CAG like body to audit the likes of BDA and BBMP?

Medical ethics and objectionable Pharmacy practices

12/15/08 03:59 - psaram42

Whenever I am waiting to see my cardiologist, at his clinic in Indiranagar, there are invariably a couple of drug representatives who put in their cards with the receptionist for an appointment with the doctor. The doctor meets the reps only after he is through with the patients of course. When my doctor changed a drug which I was using for ages I was not comfortable.

Why are our cities suffering?

12/12/08 19:41 - mcadambi

My take on why local level governance in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai are suffering while thriving in cities like New Delhi and to a lesser extent, Chennai.

Any good city needs local governance. This means having a strong mayor council in place and using revenues generated by the city to a substantial extent for the city's needs.
