The development professionals today are facing the acute problem of shorage of challenges in development. There is no challenge posed in India either by service providers & or by target beneficiaries. Is it true? Yes. The target beneficiaries have reconciled with the current status as its fate acomplie & development facilitators in governance have accepted the present status as the best situation under the circumstances. The other day on Nizamuddin Station I asked the Director of State Institute of Rural Development tell me single name from the faculty of State Institute of Public Administration who has any academic achievment pertaining to development adminstration. He argued to me that they are the best under the circumstances in the state. He rather strongly argued in their favour & even said you bring the Professor from IIM who will also not be able to do any thing more than the present status. With his argument I firmed my mathmatics that you multiply "0" with any number, the product will always remain zero. So why to worry. This only tells me that governance today fighting the lost battle because of absence of challenges.
