2. Introduction
"Red tape is an idiom that refers to excessive regulation
or rigid conformity to formal rules that is considered
redundant or bureaucratic and hinders or prevents action or
decision-making. It is usually applied to governments,
corporations, and other large organizations.
3. Definition
– It is the "collection or sequence of forms and procedures required to gain
bureaucratic approval for something, especially when oppressively complex and
time-consuming".
– Another definition is the "bureaucratic practice of hair splitting or foot dragging,
blamed by its practitioners on the system that forces them to follow prescribed
procedures to
4. What is it Actually!!!!
– Red tape generally includes filling out paperwork, obtaining licenses, having multiple
people or committees approve a decision and various low-level rules that make
conducting one's affairs slower, more difficult, or both. Red tape can also include "filing
and certification requirements, reporting, investigation, inspection and enforcement
practices, and procedures"
5. Situation in our Country
We, at India, at some stage or the other must have experienced the red tapism – And
largely in every corner of the government departments and for some extent even in private
sector as well we must have seen it is happening today also! No matter how many
governments change – no matter how many years passed to our freedom but our struggle is
continuing. A struggle to get bureaucratic approvals, struggle to get certificates- sometimes
may be birth certificate or even for death certificates as well!....everyone in the system is
asking for…’Mujhe kya milega!”
6. Reason behind it…
– Have you ever gone behind the real reason of red tapism and how
have it started in INDIA! Money is not the only reason behind it –
Jealousy, inefficiencies, lethargic attitude, unprofessional-ism,
character building ( rather non-building), values , caste n creed,
cultural imbalance…any many more likely reasons. But bottom
line is it hurts us – it slows down our growth and image in world
map!
7. – Every new scheme gets roadblocks in terms of Red Tapism- and eventually kills
the larger objective by which it was launched! That is the reason we may have
seen many new schemes being launched by many government n private
initiatives but they have not reached to their larger goals- because of the
roadblocks. So we need to build bye-passes to these roadblocks if we need to
succeed as a nation! Let us do work online / e-governess / e-clearances etc…
nice words to hear….
8. – So folks we need to get-up
and do lot of cleaning...not
only outside but also inside
cleansing.
– God Bless Our Country...
