Oil Minister way- Veerappa Moily
Whether it is self imposed austerity measure or it is a genuine move or a cause still it creates an impact. Something is done worth by minister in the line of portfolio he or she holds. There talk across boards and on record voice of such measure but very little has been done so far to tackle the fuel consumption in this area. Indeed we've long way to go.
A talk show with Barkha Dutt of NDTV brings on various facts and concerns related to this move.
Bugs stops here!
Leading by example , Moily travelled by Metro and asked his ministers within his cabinet to travel once in a week to help save fuel cost. We import oil nearly worth $145 billions in last fiscal which certainly added to current account deficit.
Below are the following highlight of the talk show that has got into the root of this matter and help bring valuable suggestion on the table.
1. It talks about supply and demand. The focus was on demand side.
2. The oil exploration, R&D and other alternate sources of energy was in discussion.
3. CNG pipe supply directly to consumer was one of the discussion point.
4. Staggering work times for ministers to promote public transport.
5. Suggestion to use Bus for group of ministers.
6. Arranging a apartments for ministers near to office. Curtail cost of fringe benefits to Ministers.
7. Car pooling
8. Free Cycle scheme for short distance, avenues and facilities to facilitate such move.
9. Improve infrastructure and public transport
10. Reduce cess tax on bus as compared to Car.
Above all such sense of savings at demand side needs to come from all form of ministers and all party otherwise this is again going to be one of the feel good factor for a time and just another austerity measures for viewer and citizen like us.
I appreciate this move and hope for better tomorrow to see my country well placed and conserved.
Hope Barkha Dutt will review and resume the talk show on same measure again to checkpoint whether this is just a hype or a truth .
