Case: A new strategy to modernise the functioning of the complete state bureaucracy is the key to cure almost 99% of the issues prevailing in Manipur, which leaves only the issue of the armed revolutions by so-called "freedom fighters" in Manipur to get sort out.
Myth: The complete chaos in Manipur is due to -
1) Indian government (Central govt) has completely failed on its part to make Manipur a prosperous, developed & secure state via its legislative policies & legal acts.
2) The non-state actors/organisations ought to run Manipur's public administration by involving their armed militants to bring justice via threatening, forced labour, holding ransom, extortion, death penalty, etc on both the govt employed officials and local people.
Reality: Public administration is a very complex and strategic task which needs continuous improvement on the roles & responsibilities assigned to the charted designations across the organisational structure of the entire state bureaucracy. The current overall chaos in Manipur is the side-effect of prolong involvement of the Government armed forces, as well as, the unwarranted participation of the revolutionary militant organisations into the activities of state administration in Manipur since past decades.
Approach:
1) Formation of association/organisation based on specialisation/area of expertise (& interest) and public's encouragement to such groups/teams is a must -
Student organisations, local associations and various youth clubs are formed in Manipur with ethnicity concept, poor vision, lack of professionalism & skills, pathetic knowledge on public ethics & behavioural attitudes, unplanned imaginary future career for members involved, concept of pure social work instead of social responsibility, etc.
To sustain growth & achieve targeted objectives; students, youths and local people should form clubs & organisations to bring about centre of excellence out of their team effort. Such activities will enable the group to expand their activities & vision beyond the boundary of Manipur state with a 'Thank You' note from everyone.
Working professionals and people of Manipur origin who are living outside the state can start grouping based on their expertise; and create new ventures/projects that will not only benefit themselves but also fellow Manipur people.
2) The self-proclaimed revolutionary organisations should concentrate their struggle to the Indian arm forces and police, rather than involving in the public administration and the network of state government bureaucrats -
Public administration is not 'a cup of tea' for any government or any group of people in the world. It is a system which needs continuous improvement & modification as per the change in the society from the planner of state/central government as well as the common people.
Involvement of non-state groups using power of gun & threat to life does not reduce the volume of socio-economic-political issues in Manipur. Such short-cut temporary methods to cure any minor systematic errors in state administration rather bring about total chaos in the overall functioning of the public administration system due to the bypassing of already tested & proven workflow in the state administrative structure.
They should instead encourage intellectuals & common people to form professional associations/firms; which can discuss, analyse & suggest on the policies of the state officials by giving proposals & recommendations based on their work experience and scientific reasoning. Manipur can get develop in every perspectives only when there is FREEDOM on common people to exercise their creative ideas for the welfare of mankind.
If FREEDOM OF THOUGHT, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, and FREEDOM OF JOB is not guaranteed on any working Manipur professional & people inside/outside the state by non-state groups; Manipur can never be developed, self-sufficient, and self-dignified on its own.
Non-state groups SHOULD NEVER interfere nor involve in the ideas & visions of any private firms who are trying to create business within Manipur along with development of the local people; instead non-state groups should work indirectly to rectify the policies & rules on the state administrative system to act on any future wrong decision of the business firms to avoid committing such mistakes by other companies/firms.
3) The state administrative system needs reformation and accountability of its officials on their decisions needs given critical priority -
The entire organisational structure of the state administrative system needs to be reviewed on the line of their roles & responsibilities. Every ministries in the state govt needs to revamp for better administration & execution of policies from the top level till the bottom level officials.
Institutions of advanced studies & professionals firms should be employed / consulted by State/Central govt to get scientific strategy for their reformation on par with the need of 21st century society.
The political, legislative & executive branches of the state machinery need to be reanalysed to make up any short-coming to resolve the entire crises in Manipur. More importantly, reformation on state police forces is a must.
