Your Views:All the PSUs should be privatised as early as possible. Arun Shourie is one of the most effecient and knowledgeable minister doing the right things and he should be given free hand. Narrow outlook politicians are worried about their vote bank they have no vision of future!!government should concentrate in improving infra structure, law and order etc not waste their time in selling oil.

Your Views:Its not clear as to who suggested this "magic therapy" i.e. "privatisation" as the sole cure to our decaying infrastructural condition. It may solve the problem or may bring "reform" as suggested by our honourable politicians but have they given a thought to the opposite? The failure of privatised airlines after Sept. 11, 2001 has proved beyond doubt that private enterpreneurs even in advanced countries as Australia, Switzerland and USA have been unable to withstand contingency crisis conditions. Secondly, the "ENRON" fiasco has proved that even in countries like USA, the interest of the general people are not safe in the hands of the private enterpreneurs inspite the existence of powerful adminstrative watchdogs. As about India, there are no such effective watchdogs, as "UTI" has proved. so, if they are thinking about privatisation seriously, firstly they should reinforce the administrative infrastructure to have proper vigilance on the functioning of such enterprises which are linked to the infrastructural development of india, iff at all they are thinking about the national interest,& iff at all they truly want to enact reforms rather than do it in pen & paper or to please WTO.

Your Views:Sorry! Don't tell me about private management and efficiency. Private business in India has no norms. If you want to know what private enterprise stands for, go and see for yourself the misery of workers in small and medium industries. Look at the conditions of workers in the industries that do sub-contracting for big multinationals. Go and see what they have done to tanks rivers our air! Private industry in India neither has efficiency nor ethics. And this is the core of the problem. I am no big sympathiser of PSUs but the fact remains that they have been ideal employers. They give dignity to workers. If you say workers do not deserve that pay! Imagine yourself as a child of one of those workers and say that. Imagine yourself as a victim in Bhopal and say that. Public sector may be bad in making profits so what at least our handloom farmers will not die of starvation. Our cotton farmers do not have to commit suicides. We can have clean air and water. Above all we can have our culture and Sovereignty.

Your Views:in comparision to china, india's reform process islagging andis very slow. i think we should our nation health in vision when these kinds of decisions are taken. politics of self benefit should not pose constraints over the wellbeingof the nation. the word strategic sale is time and again emphasised. is it a tool with good intention or just a prevention exercise against some company. we require visionaries, who can rise above petty narrow minded behaviour and look at the larger good to the economy. if the sale is going to get good benefits and revive the units both in terms of profitability and employement, then it should be taken ahead.

Your Views:Without any doubts, PSU's should be privatized. As a profeesional, I have worked with BPCL/HPCL for some time & can say that they are inefficient in many respects despite of very capable workforce. It is no Family Silver; it is wasting of Tax Payers, Lenders and coutries resources. I think that current opposition from Mr. Pramod Mahajan / Ram Naik is a result of lobbying from prospective buyers who do not think that this is the convenient time for them due to other current projects/ constraints. As usual, there is garb of Nationalism, Labour, etc to which other (innocents like George F) have fallen for. -Yeshwant

Your Views:Good Performing PSU's , specially the OIL and power sector . MNC's only will milk the cream and there would be no control over cost of service rendered. Rather , the PSU's must be changed to a radically professional management that can increase profitability with least of GOVT. interference. With the brains of Indians we shd not need a MNC to teach us how we shd run business..

Your Views:For improving the efficiency of the industry and for improving the economy, privatisation should definitely take place and also at a very faster pace. in fact i would strongly suggest that even the railways should be immediately privatised. it has been given to understand that railways have been using bridges which are more than 100 years old. this is a very serious safety hazard. efforts should be immediately taken to remake all the bridges and privatise the railways in a wholesale manner. this is the only solution for improving the economy of india, safety of indians. timely privatisation is the only answer for economic improvement of india.

Your Views:Privatisation of any Govt companies should be immediately stopped. This policy of earning commission during sell off of the PSU to be stopped. The corrupted to be arrested, tried and hanged. The causes of yearly loss should be analysed . Old corrupted management should be scrapped. New generation managers from IIM / Harvard to be recruited and given the challenge of turnaround for the company. Jai Swadeshi !! Jai jawan ! Jai Kisan !!
