Self Governance

As you know, I am a real Indian by heart. Daily I keep on thinking “How can I make my country better?”. Better in living conditions, technology, education, health care etc etc. Looking at the corruption and the the way tax payers' hard earned money is being mis-utilized, and because I have this desire of making my country better, I am coming up with this idea of self governance.

By this idea, I propose that every tax payer should be given a choice to spend some percentage of his taxes (or only income tax) for the work that government is supposed to do. Like, laying tar roads, raising and maintaining public parks, maintaining government schools, other infrastructure, free health care, free medicines, public transport, traffic management, rural development, population control, pollution control, etc etc. I mean everything that government is supposed to do and that common people can do too!

Now, this may raise a lot of questions of implementation feasibility. Here are some of the suggestions.

Instead on an individual spending the money, there should be a group of at least 10 and at max 100 tax payers. These citizens should be linked to each other. Like they should be residing in same apartment complex, or they should be employees of same organization, or they should be part of commercial organization( like all India Dabba Wala organization ;)) etc.
Similarly, there should be a limit on min and max amount spent by these groups.

One committee will be formed by government that will create the tasks that can be delegated to these groups. While choosing the tasks to be done, these groups will approach the committee and get the tasks from them. These groups can suggest their own tasks too to this committee and the committee can take a decision on that.

The idea is very raw at this point of time. But, this will distribute the work, increase the focus, increase the sense of responsibility, reduce the corruption etc. I don't say that this system will be completely corruption free, but at least it will be distributed and will definitely reduce.

I request the readers to raise questions and ridicule this idea by telling how and why it can NOT be implemented.
