The problem in assessing a Govt employee is WHO HAS TO DO IT?? when the judge and the criminal are from the same family, do you think it will ever be impartial? instead, link it all to certain global standards and benchmarks. I know of a friend in a state owned Insurance co telling me once : he's too very tired that day, cos he had to make 2 policies instead of his standard 2 a day! Look at their productivity! The Govt unfortunately is a "socialistic machine". what work can be accomplished with one competent person in a profit driven organisation takes 3-4 in Govt. They simply add people to appease communities. Govt should be lean and mean and leave many industries not connected with Governance. Instead they should plan for the conutry's prosperous future and make policies for the same. In a country of 1.2 billions, no Govt wants to even talk about controlling population growth! Vote bank politics! India needs a bried spell of honest dictatorship..democracy can't lift up the country for centuries.
