As an advisor, I was to ideate and implementation was outside my preview, I did my best for the system to be proactive and robust. The bureaucrats who were responsible for implementation were least interested in the welfare of the people. In fact, one of the senior bureaucrats, whom I asked, if you get the a project implemented would help about 800 million rural population, and he remarked, 'Sir, you seem very passionate about such issues, but for me, it is one of the dozens of files on my desk'. Till bureaucracy is not made accountable, and their fixed tenures are changed to ‘performance-based renewal and promotion’, nothing much can be expected. Except waking up in the times of crisis and going back in slumber again.
