Improving public service in India

How to improve the operations at the public places like hospitals, Railways and other places.

1. The responsibility to improve the operations lie not on center, state or Panchayat. Instead, this is contingent on institutional leadership. Therefore, institutional chiefs need to work on devising steps for the behavioral dimension of it's customers and employees.

2. Technology: We need to deploy technological means to make this process convenient for the people. Beginning with online appointment for the hospitals, the technological solution must deploy full suit of technology for making life convenient for end users. To this end, it is necessary that we restrict the visitors accompanying the patient/traveller, barcode the people/documents, increase the number of staff members, increase the size of the public place, providing basic amenities to public as well as employees, put more signboards and self guided facility, more patient counters or rail announcement system, a working solution for the appointment systems at institutional as well as operation level etc.

3. Administration: The task of administration should be left to administrators who have received general training in dealing with these aspects rather than putting specialists on this job. The areas of hospital management, railway station management, crowd control techniques etc should be given proper attention.

4. We need to plan for things 15 years ahead of our time. It requires critical evaluation of current state of affair and huge investment for bringing futuristic solutions for solving current day problems.

5. The time management can be improved by employing artificial intelligence, data mining and other solutions. In addition, we should deploy Internet of Things, and Blockchain kind of things to make things work. For example, a patient could be informed about his real time of appointment with doctor as soon as he is over with registration. Similarly, IOT solutions could be deployed in tracking the movement of patients and their documents.

It is a painful sight at public places to see wastage of human, economic and social resources in a huge manner. We need to make the entire process of experiencing public services hassle free, predictive and transparent. New India should not have any place for any mismanagement of resources.

Random blabber

Recently I happen to work alongside few younger mates and it proved to be a worthy experience. One of the noticeable thing about working with them was their methodical approach and focus on the conceptual understanding. So strong was their emphasis on the procedures and methods that it struck me like a hammer. As if it brought me out of my sleep or mediocrity or falling standards. I realised the importance of focussed effort, methods and procedures and reignited my believe of delivering the best.

Most importantly, all of this came as Deja Vu. These learnings were not new, it is just that lethargy and lack of novelty in my thought had shadowed them. That is why I believe it is important to keep the company of right kind of people in life.

Another observation was negativity in my thoughts. Off late, the negativity in my thoughts has spiked. Mainly it is triggered by confusion about what I wish from life and my tendency of singing the same song repetitively. Another trigger and manifestation of this negativity is lack of exercising and inability to follow a disciplined life. And indirectly, it emerged from my misplaced expectation from the ecosystem in which I live.

The only way to overcome this would be to meditate, to sit and work tight, as per a predefined plan. Self control and self absorb is the key to peace, happiness and optimism.

Another thought which struck me was spreading happiness. I thought that I should ensure that whoever comes in my contact, should walk out more happier.

Last 10 days were happening except for last few days. The JATF Udaipur visit was a unique experience but much novel was the experience of viral fever. First time in life I got infected with a fever which increased my temperature on 10 different occasions in short span of 5 days despite taking the medications. It was only 2 days back, I could recover fully and since then I have been wanting my time.

And so now you understand the motivation behind this blog. Hope to write more impersonal things unlike this note. Till then good bye.
