EMERGING KERALA- GOD'S OWN COUNTRY-
“Emerging” is an
attractive word and the speed of emergence and onward marching with equal pace
with others in the run must be followed
with resonance in all the activities at different
levels of operations . For a state like
Kerala, with limited resources both
immovable and movable assets, it is of great importance in such enterprises to monitor
systematically the sequence of operation of different stages involved in the
projected programs.
Human Resource
potential is very high in our state and all are equally competent to master any
trade or business as an individual. But when it comes to a Group activity where
everybody has to share his/her responsible participation, in the common
interests, things go wrong for want of cooperation and synchronized working at
different levels of operation. Mutual respect and appreciation lacks in many
cases resulting in slowing down of the projected progress. The natural tendency
is to prompt others to work, than ourselves doing our part of the job.
Our past experiences
show that we were irregular in the timely maintenance of our assets, with a
scheduled program. The industrial units and other installations suffered due to
failure of machinery and heavy monetary loss caused to the government. Lack of
personal touch and application of mind in discharging our duties at the right
time, caused damage to the industrial units and other government and public
sector undertakings. The “ mind set” of we people in Kerala is already taken a
“permanent set”. Now it is difficult to rewind or remold into a better frame of
mind for committed service. The assets handed over to us by our predecessors
are still with us only because they maintained them meticulously. But on our
part we neglected their upkeep and
sustained loss “beyond local repair”.
Trade unions and other organizations were intended
to uphold the interests of the management & workers so as to
create a peaceful atmosphere in the industrial units
or departments. But of late, the whole
system of management
both in the employer and employees relation has been
strained resulting in break down of the enterprising sectors.
The unsocial elements exploited this situation and
disrupted the functioning of the industry/department resulting
in closing down of many industries.
Therefore, before we embark on introducing
international participation in major projects in kerala, we have to be
doubly careful in launching such commercially viable program. Absolute
dedication and determination at all levels
of management & employees are essential to
accomplish the tasks before us. That being so, our outlook has to
undergo drastic changes to handle heavy projects with foreign
collaboration. There should not be cessation of the
progress of work at any stage, which may cause
desertion of the project en route! There should be resonance in the
thoughts and action of the political parties without
any rivalry amongst them or with any
“Strings attached”.
In that case we will Emerge in a big way!!
