the inscription carries three bits of info: the brickmaker's name, his supervisor's name, and the plant at which the brick was made. the moral of the story is: don't make a shitty brick, or when your shitty brick craps out, somebody's going to be very able to find you and pound it down your throat into your chestal cavity while reading from the brickmaking policy handbook.

Indian Bureaucracy has received worldwide attention during our Commonwealth Games scams, and what used to be a local embarrassment for me became a talking matter since then. Our Bureaucracy is not the best. That is known. But what are the issues? The real problem with bureaucrats is not just about caste and reservation. It is about accountability and responsibility. The pay structure of our Bureaucracy is such that officers get little salaries and large perks and amenities in form of bungalows and servants. In many cases, they occupy the same bungalows that the British left in 1947. And they do not do their job responsibly.
How do we solve this issue? A simple answer would be to take away their comfortable lives and zap them into an accountable system, take away their amenities and force them to work. But that is not a plausible way. We need to understand that Bureaucracy entails a lot of responsibility. N Vittal, the former Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) used to say that corruption in India is a low-risk, high-profit game. When the risk of being caught is low, the tendency of corruption is high.
We had a healthy discussion on various online fora, and here are some very concrete steps that can be taken to increase accountability in our Indian Bureaucracy. Numerous ideas are taken from the private sector, and since our Modi government is all about privatization, we are emboldened to propose the following as a possible improvement in the Indian policy regarding bureaucrats:
Project-level ownership and accountability: Transfers of bureaucrats every 2-3 years dilute their responsibility as they are not in touch with any given region for long enough. We should assign an officer to a project – who is responsible for its success and failure. Officers are rewarded on the basis of their success in projects. They also need to be enabled to have complete power over the execution of a project.
Peer feedback system: Consider this system something like Google’s PageRank algorithm (not the exact thing, but this is a good starting point). Every officer can give anonymous feedback/rating to every other officer. The weight each officer’s ratings have on the person being rated depend on the rating officer’s ratings. So if an employee rated 4.5 stars rates another employee 3 stars, it carries more mathematical weight than a 2-star employee handing out a 5-star rating. Another system for citizens to rate the officers could also be introduced. Transparently declare these ratings on a website, and use these as a basis for promotions. I strongly believe that some form of peer rating system can be initiated and would be very helpful in bringing transparency to the performance of a civil servant. And why shouldn’t there be transparency? The government should give an impression of being accountable to ensure people have faith in it.
Lateral hiring from the private sector: Plenty of 40-something aged executives in the private industry have excellent intelligence and execution skills and are financially stable. They’d be happy to contribute to the society by the way of participating in government projects, which have enough scale and complexity to be considered challenging and interesting.
Reduce fixed components of salary and more performance-linked components: These could be linked to a project’s execution score – the number of parameters on which a completed project meets or exceeds its objectives, and the peer feedback system. I am pretty sure if we have mathematicians/game theoreticians design such ratings-incentives systems we can form them in a manner that encourages performance and minimizes abuse.
Consider hiring government officers a liability: We’re already going in this direction. The government should outsource everything they can, especially menial tasks like facilities management, payroll management, peons, security for non-critical infrastructure etc. You need to look at MNCs and see how they outsource stuff – security, facilities management, HR, event planning, payroll – everything is handled by third parties. Only executives, engineers, designers, etc. are recruited directly by them. Privatize all PSUs. The common argument for PSUs is that you need them for projects that cost more than the value they provide but need to be provided in any way. In such cases, just award a Viability Gap Funding to private companies undertaking such projects. Passport Seva Kendras are an excellent model where routine data collection and form filling is done by private employees. Only the final approval is given by government officers.
Empower Lokpal/Vigilance Divisions: It is that simple, really. All we need to reduce corruption is will at the top. The only reason a lot of these agencies are toothless is because everyone from the MLAs to the CMs depends on the corruption ecosystem to fill their pockets, fund their elections, run their corrupt businesses and keep them in power.
Transparency: To fix the entire system, from chaprasi to the head babu, we shall also put an ERP system for the file work in place. Every person has to check in and check out files. All modifications, permissions, rejections, fines, awards, everything gets logged. That’s it. Give a public UI for this system and watch things change.The roadblock will come from the government itself, and the problem (read it in Sir Humphrey’s voice) is this:
“My dear Bernard, if we start instituting transparent processes, one day we might become transparent!”
And that is it. I do not claim to have made a perfect set of guidelines, and this is surely not the expected tone of such reforms. But I am not the one making the reforms. I am here to have a discussion on the matter. Let me know your thoughts.

Alexis, Daryn & Sher'ai share how The ULTRA Teen Choice HIPREP program is making a difference in their lives.
I need a kick in the pants. And a better scale, apparently. Anyway, this is my official start date and weight.
I'm still trying to decide if I should join WW online. We get 50% off membership through work, but I don't know if I will be able to spend so much time obsessing over points. But maybe I need to.
