Dear All,

 

I have great hopes from BM, as do many others. However BM needs to put its house in order.

 

We have to decide the objectives, Vision and Mission for BM. What we refer as Vision is not vision at all but just outline of our preferred future. Vision when clear, covers process, activities and mile-stones . If our vision would have been clear so many recurring problems would never have cropped up.

 

Constitution follows Vision and not vice-versa. Only people with bureaucratic mindset want constitution because they need it to control others. When Vision is clear and well established, we can identify most effective form of organization to achieve vision.

 

BM should clearly declare its political intentions. Declaring that we want to form Goverment at Centre requires vision, conviction and confidence.

 

Social service is okay for those who do not want to take responsibility for total change. We will not be able to achieve our objectives through social service alone. When we have political objectives, social service activities help us to train our members and maintain continuous contact with ground reality. It does not have more value.

 

I think, BM should elect right leader who have fairly clear vision, who can devote sufficient time and mobillise resources for BM activities. In my opinion from the people I know Dr. (Mrs.) Akalpita Paranjape from Mumbai, A retired Senior Scientist from BARC, with quite wide contacts and ongoing social projects shall be the right person to lead BM at the present crucial moment.

 

Let us quickly put our acts togeather and move ahead.
