Gyaan Guru: April 2007
http://muralidharrao.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 12, 2007. BMIC - IT - economy linkage. Text of the posting made on a Yahoogroup in response to usual Socialisic rhetoric:. That we differ on a lot of issues is quite an under-statement. Whether public governance as a whole can be entrusted to the private sector or not is debatable. What is certain however is that people would be far better off if a lot many of the services is entrusted to them, with the government just playing the role of the facilitator/ regulator. I refer to the report ...

Gyaan Guru: February 2007
http://muralidharrao.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 25, 2007. Text of the letter sent to the press:. Agricultural sector load is just a convenient scape-goat being used by the government agencies involved to mask their poor planning and management. If they are genuinely interested in solving the problems of the rural sector, there are good models there too worthy of emulation - like that of the Hukeri Co-op Society in our own Belgaum district.

Kerala disconnect-tion: June 2006
http://kerala-disconnect-tion.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Enter your search terms. Sunday, June 11, 2006. Text of letter sent to press. The need for atleast one regular overnight superfast daily service between Bangalore and Ernakulam (in fact Thiruvananthapuram) has existed from decades. However, even with any number of representations made by various groups of people at all kinds of levels, all that the South Western Railways has responded with is this dose of confusion.

Water Supply Privatisation: November 2006
http://privatised-water-supply.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Enter your search terms. Monday, November 13, 2006. Exchange with Mr L (through Bangalore-based ‘Hasiru Usiru’ Yahoo Group), 1st week Nov, ‘06. I was not at the talk, but was happy to note from your report (as cited below) a good account of what probably happened. Instead I am quite shocked that you feel "(T)he participation of an organization like Janaagraha in setting up and administering the regulatory mechanism" is what will help us tide over the crisis. Since when did Janaagraha represent me? Furthe...

Traffic / Transport Solutions: August 2007

Traffic / Transport Solutions. Enter your search terms. Tuesday, August 28, 2007. An exchange with Ms K. I am not asking BMTC to be privatised. I am asking for BMTC's monopoly regime to be dismantled by facilitating entry of reputed Corporate players into public bus transport services sector, in competition with BMTC, even if on a field slightly sloped favouring BMTC, all duly regulated (not controlled) by a properly constituted agency. Regards, Muralidhar Rao. On 8/23/07, Ms K wrote:. You were on BMTC's...

Thursday, January 25, 2007. Text of the letter sent to the press:. Unfortunately, there still seems to be very little appreciation in the country of the fact that, for a healthy business climate to develop, market factors should dictate the decisions as far as possible, with interventions by the regulator coming in only when very essential. Posted by Muralidhar Rao at 10:13 AM. Be a patriot, please! Text of the letter sent to the press:. Posted by Muralidhar Rao at 8:47 AM. Friday, January 19, 2007.

Gyaan Guru: May 2007
http://muralidharrao.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 26, 2007. Text of the letter sent to the Times of India:. I refer to your editorial captioned 'Lesson in Languor' of the 24th. Now, as long as the government retains its gargantuan size, playing the role of an employer rather than as a facilitator for generating employment, the term 'government' will continue to be equated with sloth, inefficiency, corruption, in fact, everything negative. Posted by Muralidhar Rao at 10:52 PM. Friday, May 25, 2007. Continued darkness at noon. Text of the me...

Enter your search terms. Thursday, November 09, 2006. Sri Laloo Prasad Yadav has reportedly flagged off yet another weekly train (supposedly superfast) between Kochuveli (Thiruvananthapuram) and Bangalore, with another set of (train) numbers, timings, combinations and permutations of types of accommodations. All that this is going to achive is to add to the existing confusion. Perhaps, that ultimately is the answer. Posted by Muralidhar Rao at 8:26 AM. Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

Enter your search terms. Tuesday, January 23, 2007. Counter to Medha Patkar's call (Oct '05). Letter sent to the press, and posted on 'Hasiru Usiru' web-site:. Municipal water supply, the country over, is in a shambles. In such a scenario, when the bottling industry comes forward to make good quality water available right through the country, and at reasonable prices, it is fulfilling a desperate need. What is there if you have to pay for it? Would you rather pay the doctor's bills? Counter to NAPM call.

No further elaborations required here, I guess, as to what these say about the KPCL, which supposedly is entrusted with the handling of almost the entire power generation infrastructure in the state! Incredible KPCL, indeed! B) Shouldn...
