What is in a name .

The recent spurt in schemes being named after Nehru/Gandhi scions points to a decadent sycophancy to which our government and ministry officials have plummeted to . For them it is their only way to impress upon their immediate powers .It is an instrument in their hands to fulfill their motives .
Well some may argue what concern it to them, the name , when the schemes so envisaged accrue benefits to the people . The issue cannot be skirted on this argument. A deeper understanding of the problem is required with serious repercussions.In fact the embodiment of values , ideals projected by prefixing the names of some specific persons to schemes and projects is a shibboleth. Therefore the scheme's name should be after the persons entrusted with implementation or the post/authority at the helm of affairs. The efficacy of this approach is the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. This way the lynch pin stakeholders will discharge their duties to the best of their ability.
Now the question may arise why such a simplistic approach will produce magnificent results. The answer dear reader is within ourselves.
As Shakespearean classics have aptly documented the desire for fame , recognition is inherent in every individual. T o meet this end different modes ranging from pervasive to forbidden are adopted. If we provide an opportunity with stakes , the person leading the schemes will leave no stone unturned to make it a grand success and thus leave an indelible mark ...for opportunity comes but often knocking at your door and if the purpose be so noble it is just an icing on the cake.
