Time to act mature


Problems
Frustrations
Demonstrations
Agitations
Conflicts
Chaos

Is this how a country must function? Why is it becoming necessary to go through this route for every issue ? Do not underestimate the danger of rising anger, frustration, hopelessness and disorder.


People have their concerns. They want some changes which are good for everyone. They are not on road for any personal gain. And the government is also there for the welfare of the people of India. Then what is lacking? 


There are two major reasons:


1.      Deficiency in the system and lack of up gradation in it with changing times.
2.      Lack of active participation of people in governance


The only possible solution is:


Proactive Participatory Governance

The time has come to create a system which includes:
-          Proactive identification and assessment of people’s needs and concerns from village level to national level.
-          Good use of collective opinion of experts in respective fields
-          Suggestions and Referendums to make sure that people direct the course of change.

The benefit of this will be:

-          This will prove governance by the people and for the people.
-          People will be able to convey their concerns peacefully without any need of agitation or conflict.
-          People will be able to give suggestions and direct the course of change collectively and constructively in appropriate direction.
-          The atmosphere will become positive as people will feel and get empowered.
