Quality of public projects can be ensured even by common citizens by
remaining alert and watchful and by using Right to Information Act said
Mr Shantaram Naik M.P. at Dharbandora on Saturday.
Shri Naik who was speaking after inaugurating a project of Community
Hall for Vishweshwar Shankar Laad Higher Secondary School at
Dharbandora, further said that whether it is a building or a road, if
quality is not maintained the projects are bound to 'disappear' within a
few years.
Mr. Naik said if delay in implementation of projects in Goa is avoided,
we can save approximately upto 1000 crores per 5 years.
The work of Community Hall initially started with the help of MPLADS
funds to tune of Rs. 11,18,571/- given by the then MP of South Goa Shri
Ramakant Angle. However since the project could not be completed during
the term of Mr. Angle, Mr. Naik added Rs.20,00,598/- from his MPLADS
funds and completed the project.
Mr Naik said that Government is going to enact, very soon, a legislation
to give protection to whistle blowers which is going to give scope to
persons who are going to come out to expose misdeeds, illegalities or
corruption in their respective departments or institutions.
In this country no government has shown interest to make public life
clean and transparent except congress government, said Mr Naik.
He said that responsible NGOs are an asset to the country ,and that,
activities of such NGOs should be encouraged by the Government, however,
he cautioned the citizens of associations which exist only to propagate
a negative agenda and get funds from foreign countries.
Mr. Naik declared that the community hall has been named after Ex-MLA of
the Area late Shri Sadashiv Marathe as " Sadashiv Marathe Samajmandir"
Shri Ramakant Angle, Ex-MP said that he was very happy that the project
of community hall which he could not be completed during his term was
completed by Mr. Naik by taking special interest. Mr. Angle said that he
was personally obliged to Mr. Naik as the School, SHri Vishweshwar
SHankar Laad has been named after his late Father in Law.
At the outset President of Bhausahed Bandodkar Shikshan Saunstha SHri
Pandurang Nadkarni welcomed the guests.
Shri Atmaram Kudchadkar, Principal of the School proposed a vote of thanks.
Shri Jeetendra Naik and SHri Sandeep Patil compered the proceedings of
the function.
