Legislative Orientation!!!!!!

I was amused at the news about the 3 day orientation programme for first time legislative members carried out at IIM Bangalore as jointly organised by the State legislature and IIM-B.......Is this happening in India????I am finding it hard to believe, but when i saw Mr. Abdul Kalam giving the inaugaral speech, i cant think it off as a dream.....it is happening for real....
The target was given to IIM-B to formulate the 3 day orientation programme and they choose non other than our beloved ex President Dr. Kalam to give inaugaral speech, which is very impressive and motivating. The whole concept is about motivating the new legislatures to be Effective in management and development of their constituencies....Dr. Kalam did spoke on development and also on how to lead a corruption free life and the legislatures took oath to lead a corruption free life.....(cant really say how many will adhere to it, as there were quite a few old school legislatures who were sleeping or scratching their heads, uninterested and busy on their phones during this 3 day programme....)
IIM did quite a bit research on legislative work and gave a power point presentation on how effective the legislatures could be if they meticulously plan and execute their duties......No wonder Bangalore is the IT hub of India and it proved the fact again that it is for contemporary development in politics too......
the effectiveness of this programme can be judged only after a few years of work by these MLA's & MLC's who attended the programme....Neverthless its a good beginning.......Hope the other states follow suit........
