Migrant Crisis. who is responsible ?

If I will tell the truth, I will be hounded as insensitive, because people love to twist facts to suit their Agenda. However, The fact remains that, when it started
1. The first response should have come from the contractor of these labour. They could have tied up with local administration to ensure various Government benefits reaches them. My Maid has received 500 per month from Government in her Bank account. Her father received (2000+500) from GOI. Plus free ration was provided. NGOs pitched in.Where were the contractors who sourced these labors ? where were association of Auto walas ? They needed to come together.

2. Its two month since the crisis and Lockdown. What was local Administration doing ? by now, a database of migrant labor in their district should have been created. their family traced in. what were they doing
3. My phone gets frequent calls of main Delhi ka CM bol raha hoon, main Bihar ka CM bol raha hoon. Could not these guys call the labors then ? Assuage their fear . How many State Government chose to interact with other State Government and took care of people of their domicile ?
4. And when these media wala's finally got hold of these poor migrants, how many actually contacted with local administration and brought news to the conclusion with ultimate help. TRP hungry vultures. I don't want to shoot the messenger, but what were they doing ?
5. And the worst of the lot is millions whats app forward from IT cells of vested interest. My maid was under the illusion that she wont be able to go home for next two years. Trains will Just run once and those who missed it wont be able to go home. Many Labors has been driven by this fear psychosis and panicked. Those who created panic where responsible.
6. And the final point is that, pre corona days were not golden for Indian poor. They were exploited, working in pathetic condition, underpaid and were dying without anyone noticing. But now since, it suits certain agenda, vultures are using it to target, after conveniently neglecting the good work done, amidst the challenge that India is.
Very disappointed and disgusted by certain section of people in our Country.

Managements lesson from Covid-19 crisis

I am trying my best to stay Apolitical. However, when everyone is playing politics all around, its difficult. Still I will try to focus on Governance and not on Politics. Recently, Migrants have started to reach various part of the countries. A random test shows that around 7% in Bihar, and 25% of symptomatic patient in UP are Covid-19 Positive. It Shows that the violation of Quarantine of these migrants would eventually lead to Community transmission, which India seems to be avoiding(though certain pockets have reported the same. With 80% of Asymptomatic Covid-19 Positive, this community transmission could be dangerous for States/District ill Equipped with Medical facility. Owing to pathetic nature of Quarantine facility at places, migrants are running away and we have many untraceable migrants.

One more news regarding, pilgrimage tourist of a state witnessed Share increase in Covid-19 positive, when they reached home. Now the matter is settled. But the question remains.
The Question is to ponder about the duties and responsibilities of local administration in such cases. Once the crisis broke out, the first and foremost responsibility assigned to the local administration was to identify and help Extremely vulnerable people. These included
1. Beggars
2. Recently settled migrants
3. Tourist
I am including those people, who were without any kind of local support system. Slum dwellers, Chawl residents, migrants who had been living for more than 2-3 years becomes a part of a social system that reduces their vulnerability. They can easily be supported by awareness, PMJDY, PDS system etc. However, the extremely vulnerable group are more prone to fall covid-19 trap.
And This is where local administration should have actually focused on. Its sad that many State has failed in addressing this. Whats worse is that, tourist and migrants accounts for vital addition in GDP and by ignoring those, they have proven that, these are unwelcome. Many states will witness poor GDP growth from tourist and increase in labor cost owing to these, which will hamper their GDP growth and recovery.
Whats done is done. We cant Change that. But what can we actually do is to make it a case study and focus on better disaster mitigation in future. All DMs, Police force etc, should be made more aware and educated. I am sure that Covid-19 is not the first and it wont be last. Frequency of such pandemic is only going to increase, and those who will adapt better, will not only survive, but will rise.
Each Crisis(while its world war I or II,or other) resets the world order. The world order is about to be reset. India is in Pole position to take the lead. Can India do it ? Will All levels of Governance will learn from each other and emerge as a stronger opportunity is a thing to watch.
I wish all the best. I hope, we all learn, and we all rise.

Mahatma Gandhiji : Relevance of his Management Skills to Managers in Current Era

Mr. Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhiji popularly known as Bapu has always been remembered for his patriotism and message of world peace. However, there is one side of him that has been ignored; His capacity to manage and run a successful organization. This is not only about his philosophical capacity to endure and be focussed on his cause but also the ability to convert a totally scattered organization to one that is ruling India until now. His marketing capability connected him to the mass and made them move against their own will at times to follow the words of Gandhiji. It is his capacity to do what is right against all criticism and keep bigger picture in foresight. We should to learn from him the essence of loosing battles but winning war. Let us learn his major decision and ground work before that.
Pre Gandhiji Congress
In surat session of congress (1907) not only congress got divided but was rendered useless and politically inactive. Totally unguided and covered in adamancy of leader’s congress was reduced to annual three-day cry. It was not until 1915 that they could reconcile. Thus they were totally incapable of having a country wide adamant and has to depend on home leagues which were leaders.
Lesson one of Gandhiji: Outsourcing
When Gandhiji entered National politics, there was no nationwide organization to run any movement at national level. Most of these organizations have some appeal but they could never connect to common mass. Therefore, in current terms, his supply chain network was useless. So he had four options either (1) leave it (Many Start up do the same) (2) Rebuild (many MNC do the same) (3) Outsource (an Emerging trend in recent times) (4) Mergers and acquisition (done after valuation)
Anyway, Mr. Gandhiji outsourced his supply chain using Home rule league, pan-Islamist group and his own Satyagraha Sabha. This enabled him to make his localized movement on a national scale in a very short span of time. Outsourcing is a concept use widely lately and it should be used wisely for fast growth.
Lesson two of Gandhiji: Logo/Branding
Branding is a concept that has gained momentum recently. However, Gandhiji realized importance of branding long back. It must be his wise consciousness that he decided to make Khadi as a brand and charkha as a national symbol. This association with khadi, which was widely available and easily accessible to common people made Gandhiji and his movement nationwide success.
Lesson Three of Gandhiji: Mass vs Class debate
Prior to Gandhiji, Congress was a party of intellectuals. Very few leaders were there and membership was not extended to common public, as price of having a membership was high. On the behest of Mr. Gandhiji congress started a four anna membership enabling poor to be a part of it.
This long debate is running since times of apple and Microsoft. However, with times people have realized that mass is always more profitable and chance of survivability is high with mass. Apple may be champion for now but its consistency is no match for Microsoft. With time, many companies followed this strategy.
Lesson 4 of Gandhiji: Mass connect by localized events and customization
One of the key aspects of Gandhiji has been customization and connecting at local level. Considering a diverse country like India this strategy did wonders. This allowed him to connect with Gujarat or Decca or Bihar and even south. He organized Satyagraha in South Africa. However, once he entered India his choice of methods varied. In Champaran and Kheda his first major campaign, it was Satyagraha but when he moved to Ahmedabad he used hunger strike. Over time, he used Hartal or closure of shops, Non Corporation and civil disobedience. This customization not only increased his popularity but also assured success of his missions. Based on aim of organization of events and place he chose means.
Lesson 5 of Gandhiji: Door to Door campaign
Those were not days of television and reach of newspaper was still limited. That is why a mass campaign of Dandi march started. Visiting villages and connecting with his target market using things they identify with Gandhiji Managed to gather a large support base which ultimately lead to final independence.
Lesson 6 of Gandhiji: Adherence to policies and roadmap
The withdrawal of non-cooperation movement over chauri chaura raised many eyebrow and still debatable. However, from mangers point of view if u see, if a company will lose direction or employee or stakeholder will not follow well settled path then no one can stop Enron or Satyam over time. His fear can be well justified and if over time one can see future of many nations which has emerged out of such coups. The debate can always on for democracy (India) or single party state (china) but thing is once a mean has been decided it has to be adhered. Any diversion will create chaos.
Lesson 7 of Gandhiji: Do everything rather than surrender
This Fighting spirit of Gandhiji is quite evident in struggling companies like Nokia and RIM at present. Gandhiji said do everything rightful and with true conscious than simply surrender.
Our Youth at Present who have not studied History well Might not be in favour of Gandhiji’s View. He might have made few mistakes in process of great struggle. However, no one can Challenge on thing. He UNITED India. He inspired likes of Bhagat singh and Netaji at times. Despite differences, their mutual respect is commendable. Saying this, I am not against Nathuram Godse views but I do not approve his action.

भारत माँ से एक मुलाकात

एक मीठे स्वर ने मुझे एक आवाज़ लगाई,

दूर मुझे एक वृद्धा लंगारती नज़र आई!

मुझे पास आते देख वो होले से मुस्कारी,

थपकिया दे के पास में वो मुझे बैठने को बुलाई!!

उसके चेहरे पर एक अजब सा तेज था,

सफ़ेद लहराते बालों का यौवन विशेष था!

तिरंगे में लिपटी वो मंद मंद मुस्कुरा rahi थी,

फिर भी देख लगा वो कही न कहीं कराह रही थी !!

मैंने पूछा माते क्यों अपने आप को क्यों सता रही हो,

अपने अश्रुओं को क्यों मुश्कुराहत से छुपा रही हो!

ऐसी क्या बात है मुझसे खुल कर कहो,

यूँ खुद से न लड़ो पर मुझे खुल कर कहो!!

वो बोली पुत्र क्या तुझे इतना नहीं समझ आता,

क्यों रो के भी मुस्कुरा रही तेरी अपनी माता!

बेटे यूँ न कहो की तुम खुद से ही अंजान हो,

सच है तेरे सामने और तुझे मेरा दर्द समझ न आता !!

हर रोज हरियाली को भूख में मुझे नंगा कर डालते हो,

विभिन्न सुविधा के लालच में इंसानियत कुचल डालते हो!

मेरे पुत्र हो सब पर किसी को किसी का ख्याल नहीं,

चंद रंगीनियत की खातिर मेरे सीने पे दंगा कर डालते हो !!

चाँद पे जाना है पर तुम्हे मेरा ख्याल नहीं,

शमशान बना डाला है मुझे सबका है हाल वही!

फेंकते हो आरोपों के शूल एक दूजे पे इस तरह,

देखते नहीं मैं जा रही हो रसताल में कहीं !!

आज हो इतने अंधे हो की मुझे भारत से इंडिया बना डाला,

मेरी सभ्यता मेरी सुन्दरता को विदेशी चश्मे से छल डाला1

भूल गयी मेरी सिखाई वो अवधि वो संस्कृत सारी मीठी भाषा,

बेच डाली मेरी विद्या मेरी शिक्षा मेरे कानो को बाला !!

थिरकते हो विदेशी तालों पे खुद के संगीत का मोल नहीं,

पहनते विदेशी खादी का कोई मोल नहीं!

और तो और खादी को अमेरिका और ब्रिटेन के पैरों में है गिरवी रख डाला,

मेरे शील मेरी सुन्दरता मेरी शौम्यता मेरी संप्रभुता का कोई तोल नहीं !!

भूल गए मेरे अंचल बचाने को हजारो वीर कुर्बान हुए,

कितने युवा कितने बच्चे कितने प्राण मुझपे निर्वाण हुए!

न ख्याल तुम्हे है गांधी का, ना नेहरू, ना सुभाष , ना भगत के बलिदान का,

ना मोल है तुम्हे स्वंतत्रता का ना उन माओं का जिनके कोख मेरे लिए वीरान हुए !!

कैसी है मेरी स्वंत्रता जब मैं भ्रस्टाचार में जकड़ी हूँ,

हर घडी रिशती हूँ जैसे बलिवेदी की बकरी हूं!

मर गयी हूं तुम्हारे तीक्छ्न वारो से,

वृधा  हो गयी हूं घुट घुट के तुम्हारे अत्याचारों से!!

ये किस बात का है जश्न किस बात का है शोर,

किस बात के है ये भाषण जब खींचते हो मेरे इज्ज़त के डोर!

मुट्ठी भर कपूतों ने मुझे है तार तार कर डाला है,

और तुम दूर बैठ देख रहे हो बस कह के की घर में घुसा है एक चोर !!

जागो  पुत्र माँ पे एक एहशान करो , 

मैंने सींचा  है बचपन  से तुम्हे उसका  कुछ  मान  करो!

जाकर  लड़ो  उन कपूतों  से जो  मुझे  हैं तार तार कर रहे,

दूध  का कर्ज  उतारो   और खुद के जीवन  पर अभिमान  करो !!

Obituary to My Best Friend Sumit

वहां बैठे बैठे कुछ इधर कुछ उधर किया करते थे,
छोटी छोटी बातों से बड़े सपने संजोया करते थे,
कभी सिक्के की थाप पे प्यार का इज़हार होता था,
कभी सुनहरी धुप में अथ्केलियों का हिसाब हुआ करता था,
कुछ धकियाते कुछ मुश्कुराते हम दिन को रात किया करते थे,
ऐ दोस्त याद है तुम्हे वहीँ नुक्कड़ पे हम चाय पिया करते थे !

सिलवटों में बिस्तर के न जाने कितने राज बताया करते थे,
कभी इसका कभी उसका कभी न जाने किसका किया करते थे,
कभी मुंडेर पे कभी छत पे पैमाना छलकता था,
कभी जगजीत कभी फ्लोयड में जमाना बहकता था,
कभी कंप्यूटर पे गाडिओं की दौड़ लगाया करते थे,
ऐ दोस्त याद है तुम्हे वहीँ नुक्कड़ पे हम चाय पिया करते थे !

न जाने कितनी रातें उन रातों की याद में बिताई हमने ,
भींगे पलको से तुम्हारी उन तस्वीरो को सीने से लगाया हमने,
कास वहां हम होते तो कुछ कर पाते,
तुझे खुदा से छीन लाने को हद से गुजर जाते,
कम्बक्थ दिल शाला आज भी धक् से रुक जाता है,
उन वक़्त की कंदराओं में आज भी सिमट जाता है,
वही कहीं हम एक दुसरे से आथ्खेलिआन किया करते थे,
ऐ दोस्त याद है तुम्हे वहीँ नुक्कड़ पे हम चाय पिया करते थे !

Obituary to My Beloved Mausi

अपने मुख से पहले मैंने आपको माँ पुकारा था,
जब अपनी गोद में रख आपने हर बार मुझे पुचकारा था,
खाता था आपके संग आपके संग मैं सोता था,
हँसता था आपकी गोद में आपकी गोद में रोता था ||

गालो पे हाथ रख आपके मुझे मीठे सपने आते थे,
आपके चहरे को देख मेरे गालो पे गड्ढे पर जाते थे,
नन्हे हाथों को पकड़ आप मुझे चलाना सिखाती थी,
मौसी अपमे ही तो मुझे मेरी माँ नज़र आती थी ||

लुढ़क लुढ़क के आपके पास मैं चल के जाता था ,
कभी आपसे लड़ता और आपसे माँ भी जाता था,
आप मुझे महाराजा के रसगुल्ले खिलाती थी,
मुझे गोद में बिठा अनगिनत लोरिया कहानियाँ सुनाती थी ||

आपने प्यार से मुझे अश्विनी नाम दिया था ,
उस नाम को मैंने आपके कारण पहचान बना रखा है ,
आज भी आपकी याद में आसुओं को नयनो में छुपा रखा है,
याद है मुझे जब आप मुझे हाथ पकड़ चलाना सिखाती थी,
मौसी अपमे ही तो मुझे मेरी माँ नज़र आती थी ||
