Before any change in governance, we must work on the mentality of people. British people, should I say, even rulers before them, did great work on the mentality of people of subcontinent. That's the reason they ruled these animals as they wanted. Now, before correcting any other thing, first this dust on the people's mind must be removed.
And current government, though have many good people, but majority is same old haramis, who even can't bring up their children well, what they can do for bringing up a whole nation.
Well the whole system needs change which will take decades but we need some short term solutions to revamp the system as much as possible. Otherwise we would be only playing catch up with rest of the world.
I have serious reservations about her appointment. Reasons being
Tania doesn't have technical qualification to make her suitable candidate for the role. She is just an MBA.
Her role at Google was just marketing side of things. Which means that she will have to rely on input form technical people to run this project. Those technical people will not be Google Engineers this time and how she manages Govt Bureaucracy will be a challenge. I don't expect people with old habits will like her bossing them around.
I don't know the details of this initiative but it should be run with involvement of private sector. The focus should be to empower local companies to drive the initiative which I feel will be the case.
I wish her well but feel that we are having another Asad Umar who is good at talking but failed to deliver. Having said that I will be extremely happy if I'm proved wrong.
FYI this is from someone who previously worked at Google, involved in delivering 5G solution for Tokyo Olympics and currently involved in rolling out 5G Services in Australia. Irony is someone lectured me to speak to Ericsson regarding 5G in one of the previous threads which made my day .
Some steps are related to change in how the govt departments are run and as such need the involvement of pertinent govt departments instead of private sector.
Other things may be delegated to private sector as needed.
I worked in private sector for 7 years then i was roped into a semi-govt financial institution 2 years ago. I joined because I wanted to improve the org based on my pvt sector experience (apart from pay raise + several other commitments by the then boss).
Now I am stuck in an org that does not want to change itself and is 10-15 years behind its pears.The commitments made were not honored by the institutions even though my boss tried. He also parachuted out into another govt. bank as a president. Now disheartened I am also looking to switch back to private sector.
Point being that I am as skeptic as any other person about whether this new program would work based on my interaction with govt departments and my current work exposure.
However, it still does not hurt to try. We waste plenty of hours on the internet. A few more in order to identify problems and proposing solutions is not such a bad venture.
