When Prime Minister Modi
announced from the ramparts of Red Fort on August 15, 2014 that the Planning
Commission is an old building which is in disrepair and he proposed to re-build
it instead of renovating, there was wide acceptance of the spirit behind the
statement. That does not mean that truncating or replacing or destruction of
all organisations, systems and institutions which are there in their own rights
will be welcomed by the stakeholders. Sometime back RBI Governor had put it
bluntly: “Don’t fix it, if it’s not broken!”

For GOI there is enough
on the drawing board and for the present, any effort to crowd it further
without attending to the pending work will be counter-productive. Instead, the
government should concentrate on review and revamp of initiatives like NPS, Financial
Sector Reforms, Social Security Schemes and so on which are now embedded in
muddy waters of political expediency with an eye on being ‘popular’.
