भास्ताचार और विकास

भ्रस्ताचार और विकास दोनों का सम्बन्ध विरोधात्मक है। देश के विकास के लिए आवंटित राशि कितनी भी हो, उसका थोड़ा प्रतिशत ही सरजमीं पर उतर पता है। भ्रष्टाचार का जाल इतना चक्रव्युहपूर्ण है कि koई भी राशि भ्रश्स्ताचारियों कि जेब से उतनी ही अधिक होती है कि काम होने कि औपचारिकता मात्र पूरी हो सके। इस हकीकत को ऊपर से नीचे तक सभी जानते है। सांसद से समाज तक, शहर से देहात तक, प्रेस से किताब तक सभी जानते हैं, किंतु भ्रस्ताचार को नियंत्रित कराने जैसी कार्रवाई कभी नहिः हो पाती। क्या हमारी सामाजिक-राजनीतिक व्यवस्था की नियति यही है? व्यवस्था-संचालकों को, विकास के रत लगाने वालों को इसका जवाब देना होगा। वरना इस व्यवस्था से लोगों का विश्वास टूट जाएगा।

सूचना का अधिकार: उपयोग और समस्या

It is theparadox of paradoxes that RTI has been given to the people to arm themselves with information as knowledge is power. But there are some problems with it: 1. people have not been trained to use it making it like atom bomb without nuclear warhead; 2. the Government 's intension of disuse of the informations received; 3. lack of vigilant Civil Society which may excert pressure on the Government to work sincerely as per informations received; and 4. problem confronted by RTI users who sffer due to lack of proper protection on the part of the Government and even Civil Society. To make RTI apowerful tool to create an atmosphere against corruption and malpractices, and a weapon of the peoplefor strengthening democracy, the Government must take all these major problems in its consideration, else RTI will lose its purpose and relevance. I have come to know from the reliable source that Sri Rainish Kumar, an honest RTI user is being harassed by the a Bank Manager of Arai Village of Aurangabad District of Bihar and a Police Sub-inspector who are hands in gloves to protect each other against their corrupt practices. I like to appeal to थे authorities concerned to take appropriate action against थे se corrupt officials after proper investigation.

भ्रस्ताचार: विकास विरोधी

In post-Independent India, our political and administrative elites with microscopic exception have tried to engineer plunders of public exchequer. They plan well knit development strategies to eliminate poverty, illiteracy and unemployment, but their strategies work adversely to tell different story altogether. Their profession differs from practice. What to talk of renue collected within, they have even borrowed money from abroad to to misappropriate to satiate their lust. They vow to follow Gandhi, but forget to act accordingly. Gandhi reminds, 'Nature has given us enough to feed, but not to satisfy our greed.' But they forget it and work hands in gloves to solely to fulfil their greed. That is why where is left extremism which our P.M. calls "the gravest internal security threat". But our leaders and administrators are unconcerned with this plight. They are skilled in the art of corruption. They talk of development, illiteracy and unemployment, but they work against them. They are well versed in what Gramsci describes as Machiavellian art of saying that which they do not do and vice versa. This art has made them capable of garnering support and applaud as well as fetching votes, although their corruption and plunder of public exchequer are open secrets. They deserve appreciation for their expertise of getting jindabad from those whom they categorically exploit. They are the real enemies of the people, the nation and democracy, and hence, they are urgently required to be exposed. They are the wolves in the garb of man, and required to be turned into men again by people's watch through the method of militancy of non-violence, for eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. God bless us to be responsive enough to react rationally and positively to bring justice and development to the last man in the queue which our beloved organization, UNTO THIS LAST: SOCIETY FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AIMS aims at and appeals to the intellectual and honest gentle men to respond and contribute to this pious cause.

विकास लक्ष्य अन्तिम व्यक्ति तक

इन्सान अपने तक़दीर का मालिक है, क्योंकि वह अपने तदवीर से उसे संवार सकता है। किंतु आजाद जन्म लेने के बाद भी वह समान क्षमता एवं कुसाग्रता सम्पन्न न होने के कारण विकास की दौर में दूसरों के साथ समान में नहीं रहता। फलत:, उसे विकास-पथ पर अग्रसर कराने के लिए संरक्षात्मक विशेष सुविधा की आवश्यकता है। ऐसा करके उसे विकास के रास्ते पर अग्रसर किया जा सकता है। विकसित इन्सान का यह दायित्व हो जाता है कि वह इन पिछडे भाइयों को विकास के राजपथ पर चलने के लिए न सिर्फ़ प्रेरित करे , बल्कि इसके लिए वह उचित व्यवस्था भी करे। आज के ज़माने में ऐसी बहुत संस्थाएं हैं जिनका उद्देश्य है ऐसे लोगों का उन्नयन । आज के आईटी के ज़माने में इनसे सम्पर्क करना आसान है। इसका लाभ इन अन्तिम लोगों तक पहुँचाना उद्दात धेय है जिसके लिए हम कृत संकल्प हैं।
