Let me extend my heartfelt appreciations for the service rendered by Sonu Sood in attending to the crisis of stranded migrants.His conduct in the context is exemplary and extraordinary too ! There are many others in the film industry who took care of wages and welfare of workers in the industry during the lock down.And we have the corporate and industry behemoths who donated hundreds of crores !All these exhibited exemplary gestures of magnanimity !
Right since college days I have been an active proponent of DBT ( direct benefit transfer ) and ‘ donations in kind ‘! If people pouring in donations to various heads take up relief measures such as constructing state of the art hospitals, arranging testing facilities,PPE to the front liners, arranging meals and medicines, logistics for the stranded poor and needy at such a crisis in a century and all these, by mobilising men, material and machinery of the respective donors without troubling the government, imagine what would have been the position now ! If so desired, the facilities created may carry the names of political parties / leaders.Such a viable choice has several advantages:

If so desired, the facilities created may carry the names of political parties / leaders.Such a viable choice has several advantages:
- Help would reach the needy at an accelerated pace.
- The infrastructure so created would be a permanent asset for the State.
- Leaders ( at the centre and states ) would get enormous global credit too for having managed the crisis with greater ease and comfort.
- Parties/Leaders would be spared from undue allegations and accusations of misappropriations of donations, though honest to the core.
- Intensity of exchange of barbs in the bureaucracy between the ruling and opposition parties in tackling the crisis can be toned down.
I will come back to you with my next post at 9 pm tomorrow
