Who's way is it anyway?

It is not expected from me. The long silence before publishing my next post. Yeah, am a busy person indeed, but nevertheless, am responsible too. So, it’s obvious that u might have been disappointed. Perhaps the things were not coming the right way…and it hasn’t yet….but I thought that I don’t have the right to keep people away from the present working scenario of an organization like the institute of ours…
It’s called transparency…for all those who have been working in any organization…this term is often used when the management wants to show that they have everything crystal clear in front of every one…every rule, every policy and every so called modus operandi. So, what we get? The usual delays in the process of implementing any idea? The so called paper work formality that makes us waits for the results?? I want to ask you one thing? How far the working or the operational strategy of our organization is differs from yours? Here, every bill that needs to be passed in terms of expenditures to me made anywhere has to go through 2 repeated levels of scrutiny. Indeed, I find it foolproof but do u think it’s wise enough to prevent those conmen from playing there games? The verification and the scrutiny procedure for any bill in this institution requires fair enough number of data proof to attached to it as a mark of rectification. But that just adds burden to the normal working of the surrounding, especially the students involved in it. The Dean of Student Affairs, the accounts section of the college, the audit cell, the Registrar, all are often indulged in finding out the loopholes in any progress made in the society or to the very procedure of it. But they seldom try to find out how they can make the working of the entire system as non-defective. Nor they ever bother to ask anyone. The re-imbursement policies of the institute and the complexities in making the advance payments for any work, leads to the lack of interest among the student to come forward for participation without any demand for any work of the institute. Students, because of this attitude of the institute, start asking for the certificates for their work, which seldom is required in one’s career. At the end, the liability always starts falling on the shoulders of final year students. The students of the first and second year keep on waiting for the time and opportunity to come and they realize it late that the certificates, which matter to them the most has actually least significance at the end.
Now, coming back to the management part, it has become the habit of management to undergo slow and delayed process for any response required from their side. They always blame the students for any irregularity, forgetting the fact that the students who work for organizing any event or managing any society in the society have to bear with the strict rules of 75% attendance. They indeed, have to take out time from their regular schedule for performing any extra-curricular activity. The habit of absenteeism during the working hour is prevalent deep in the institute like ours, which is supposedly a private one. The very act of non-believing students in the matters of accounts and money in the college often leads to dissatisfaction among working students and creates a gap between management and the students.
The requirement of the hour is to come out with some formal guidelines to be followed in every institute for it's rapid development in their academic as well as in non-academic fields.
