No doubt that today Pune faces a lot of teething problems, as a result of unplanned growth and lack of political will to provide basic amenities to all citizens. This is a different subject. But I would like to say that citizens themselves also need to act in disciplined manner for well being of Pune.
Lets take an example of traffic problems. Who is responsible for accidents, jams , etc. ? One part is large number of vehicles as compared to availabilty of roads to drive them or place to park them. Why there are so many vehicles can be a separate topic.
But to add to this crowd of vehicles, the problem is that most of he citizens don't abide by the traffic rules. This leads to accidents and jams.
The police force available for monitoring traffic is inadequate if we see the number of vehicles. Then there is method used to penalise a rule break. Traffic police collect fine and hope that fear of fine will inculcate discipline in citizens. But this is not completely true.
We need penalty/punishment which causes lasting impression on each one who is guilty of offence.
I suggest that fine can be suitable for some offences like lack of insurance papers , PUC, etc . But breaking signals, one way, riding triple sit, etc. should come in different category. Citizens guilty of this should be asked to contribute to cleaning of city. They should be taken to unclean areas of the city and asked to literally work (few hours task), untill they complete a given cleanliness task. Good spots are Railway stations Bus depots, ST depots, Municipal hospitals, Vegetable markets , slums, etc.
This way dual purpose will be served, and we can soon hope a clean and disciplined Pune.
I request commissioner of Police and Municipal corporation to take note of this suggestion.
जागतिकीकरणामुळे शिक्षणात प्रचंड बदल होत आहेत. या बदलत्या प्रवाहामुळे अनेक आव्हाने उभी राहीली आहेत तसेच नवीन संधीही निर्माण झाल्या आहेत. शिक्षण क्षेत्रातील आव्हानांना कसे सामारे जायचे, आणि नवीन संधीचा फायदा कसा उठवायचा याचा समस्त भारतीयांना विचार करावा लागणार आहे. या नवीन बदलांना समोरे जात असताना आपली शिक्षण व्यवस्था खरोखरच सक्षम झाली आहे का ? याचा गांभीर्याने विचार करणे आवश्यक आहे. एका बाजुला आधुनिक तंत्रज्ञानाने सुसज्ज अशा संस्था उदयास येत आहेत, तर दुसऱ्या बाजूला खेडोपाड्यातील मुलांना धड वर्गांची उपलब्धता होत नाही. एक समुह असा आहे की, तो शिक्षणासाठी लाखो रुपये सहजपणे मोजू शकतो; तर दुसरा समुह असा आहे, की ज्याला पोटाचे खळगे भरण्याची भ्रांत पडलेली आहे. अशा परिस्थितीत "शिक्षण क्षेत्रातील आव्हाने' पेलून आपला देश नवीन संधीचा अचुक फायदा उठवू शकेल का ?
