Anna Movement & Lessons for All Institutions (incl Business Enterprises)

Governance is a MAJOR cause of CONCERN across the world and across the institutions. Be it Parliament, Political Parties, NGOs , Companies, Cooperative Societies, and even housing society s'.

Over the period of time all these institutions forget for whose benefits are they suppose to work. Management of this institutions becomes self focused and start working in their self interest. Leaving aside the real expected beneficiary of their existence as per their governing CHARTER. 


Therefore it is very essential to have ANNA in every such institutions to make them aware about their role (On a continues basis)  and keep them on track. 

We need truly Independent Directors not only on the board of listed companies but also on the board of all other Public Institutions and Govt Funded NGOs. Today the way SEBI guideline n Independent Directions are being practiced is nothing more than a FARCE. Hardly a handful of companies have implemented this in spirit. 

Like our political Class who have lost face with people they represent , business enterprises have lost face with their CUSTOMERs, for/because of whom they exist. URGENT and extreme steps are required to bring customers in focus.  

Anna have awakened not only people and politicians of the country , it also MUST awaken all across the institutions about their Governance Standards.  Its in the interest of these institutions as competition will drive U out of business when focus is lost and governance is at its nadir. 

Appoint one true ANNA on your board and listen to him also.  Yes its in the interest of every enterprise. Why do we have only 1 company known for their governance and hence for performance also? Its time for others to raise their bar on governance and customer focus.
