Modern Government? Surely Omar Abdullah is better than this.

When Omar Abdullah took over the Government of Jammu and Kashmir, there seemed to be an impression that the beleaguered state was getting a dynamic administration. Technology would be used more and business as usual would go by the wayside. Alas, how hard it is to change things.

One example of the sorry state of affairs is the website of the state government (http://jammukashmir.nic.in/). Simply put, it is a disaster. Does Omar Abdullah ever bother to go there. It doesn't even have basic information in there. If you can't even get your flagship website to work properly, what hope do you have in implementing policies and programs for improving the lives of millions of people in a complex governance environment? No chance!

Until next time.
