Proposal to the Government of Tamil Nadu – Intangible Measuring Governance & deriving Governance-deficit





I give below the executive summary and Table of Contents of my proposal to the State Government of Tamil Nadu for measuring Governance and Governance-deficit of the State. Governments are dependent on Corporate on Revenue generation and Corporate is least interested in Government’s Social Responsibility initiatives. Governments have to know what Corporate is doing. My proposal to the Government of Tamil Nadu is how to become efficient by themselves and initiate bringing Corporate into Social Responsibility. Main say will be the people. The people of Tamil Nadu are indeed rich with great abilities that I have suggested how to introduce the concept of Governance right from the school level.

Please do have an opinion and you are welcome. Those NGOs who are in education please feel free to be in touch with me.

Intangible Connecting the Dots – .gov, .com, .edu, .. Intellectual Capital of The state of Israel – Case Study by IBCM

I am pleased to release this Research Paper from IBCM a Case Study on Intellectual Capital of The State of Israel. The State of Israel has done exceptionally well in Human Resources utilization for the growth and achievements, that are many, of the country. Countries like India that waste Agricultural Produce in millions of tonnes while millions are languishing in utter poverty and die of hunger, must learn how to use the resources entrusted to their care. In India Human Capital is deliberately undermined with religious animosity fanned to inflame hatred and violence, as a State Policy.

Civil Obedience Movement – Corporate Strategy for Social Values





The fight of satyagraha is for the strong in spirit, not the doubter or the timid. – Mahatma Gandhi

Civil Obedience Movement:

On the historic day of 12th March 1930, Gandhi inaugurated The Civil Disobedience Movement by conducting the historic Dandi Salt March, where he broke the Salt Laws imposed by the British Government.

  On 5th April 2011 Veteran social activist Anna Hazare started his indefinite fast unto death to press for the demand to involve civil society in formulation of the anti-graft Lokpal (ombudsman) bill. He broke the impasse of 42 years in getting the laws of the land to bring the public official to book – to enact Lokpal Bill.

This is the beginning of the Civil Obedience Movement in India in the year 2011. [Picture courtesy – Mani Bhavan, Rediff]Continue reading “Civil Obedience Movement – Corporate Strategy for Social Values”

Lokpal ~ UNCAC Definitions Compared





Giving below only the definitions of Lokpal and Use of Terms of UNCAC. The scope of UNCAC is surely far and wide than Lokpal. Once UNCAC is ratified the power to arrest the corruption is more effective than Lokpal. Lokpal basically can dig out the past corruption cases whereas UNCAC has the singular capability to prevent corruption.

However I am in full support of Anna Hazare on his endeavor to enact Lokpal Bill. The announcement by PM Manmohan SIngh on 21st April 2011 to ratify UNCAC is a welcome step in the right direction. Please also see the video on the scam levels here in India that the video calls the country as ‘Indian Republic of Scams’, as provided by IAC – India Against Corruption, a group of eminent men and women of India who have taken a lead in eradication of corruption.
