DEBATE (1) Who will make the best Prime Minister in India ?
The most important qualification about the next PM is that he should be an elected member of Lok Sabha unlike the current Prime Minister who is from Rajya Sabha and has never but once only fought the election to Lok Sabha. The essence of Parliamentary form of Government in Democracy is that the Prime Minister should be the leader of the majority party in Lok Sabha. He has to be a political person no doubt and should be competent enough to handle the massive problems faced by this country. He must have leadership qualities to inspire and impress all sections of our political outfits. This can be possible only if he has charismatic personality and is absolutely sure of himself. Decisiveness and clarity of thoughts flow from a person with these qualities. English speaking? It can help but not necessary as he can always communicate through interpreters. Support of the corporate world is not important.

Bank exams
Your site has been reporting about the large number of vacancies in Public Sector Banks. IBPS is responsible for recruiting personnel for most of the Public Sector Banks except SBI. Although IBPS has been conducting tests and interviews for filling up the vacancies in Public Sector Banks their system of declaring results does not appear to be very transparent. An individual candidate is informed of his or her selection or non selection without informing them about the exact rank obtained by the candidate in the merit list. The IBPS does not display the entire list of successful candidates which makes it impossible to know whether one has chance to get appointment or not and whether genuine candidates are in fact getting appointed. It is therefore suggested that IBPS should publish a complete list of successful candidates after the written part of the examination and the final result after interview. All candidates have a right to know what rank he or she has obtained and also the cut off marks for final selection, category wise(i.e. SC/ST/OBC etc,).Will the Ministry of Finance issue suitable directions in this direction?

Puliprath

A suggestion worth consideration
The suggestion for productive use of rural welfare schemes is a constructive one deserving serious consideration of the government. It was not the Awadhi Nawabs alone, but most Rajwadas in Rajputana (Rajasthan now) where this used to be the SOP. Famines afflicted the geography compelling the state to offer succour to the people. So taal, talaiyaa, kuan, babdi, sheds and forestry etc were the usual schemes for relief and productive use of funds. We decry lack of toilets in the countryside or school buildings. If all the funds are diverted to take up building schools and public toilets in rural areas, it shall not only obviate a problem but also bring about the change in people's mind that "development" selling think tanks have been marshalling all these years. similarly, community centres, in abundance in all urban cities, need to be built in the rural areas with all the facilities available to urbanites including a small library. Remember the teachers on this Teachers' Day: build some quarters for them on the school premises to attract them to serve villages, where nothing beyond "jhonpris" can be seen. These jhonpris are not as classy as those in Mumbai or Delhi, where even encroachers are rewarded with regularisation. We would only be utilizing our funds productively.
