Enemies of Development

Who gains from development is a deciding factor. In a development intervention the administrator or service provider is not the direct beneficiary. Therefore he does the job as a formality & with out any interest. GOI failed in all those schemes where there is no direct gain to the implementor. In the absence of any gain, the implementing agents first invest their energy to identify the gain for themselves. Their search for the gains may not consider the over all productivity. Therefore if any development scheme is planned to succeed, it should devise incentives, may be even in kind,  to the implementing agents. The development schemes if make a provision for rewards for the implementors it may succeed. If rewards are not planned, it can not succeed whatever be the level of honesty or integrity & even vigilance. At least a small note in personal file may be effective.
