Increase in salary of govt employees is a welcome move but govt should have taken some statutory measures to ensure optimum utilisation of its resourses...The hike in salary ought to have been in the form of performance incentive...This could have fostered compettetion in public sector and made these sick units profitable..I have seen many govt schools which have teachers who hardly teach anything..Compensating such laggard,corrupt and incompetent employees does not augur well for this nation...I dont see ny reason why salary of president is so high ...the president gets so many perks nd previliges nd hike in its salary only puts additional burden on state exchequer..
