I was pleasantly surprised to see our local Pune Municipal corporation site getting a nice revamp and adding tons of new features making life of average citizens dealing with local authorities much easier.
Very recently they launched a “better roads” initiative. The unique thing about this project is that it is a wonderful blend of NGO, technology and PMC coming together to work for a social cause.
Any web user can go and register complaints using Google maps. If you have a road dug up, potholes or any other road related complaints just find your area on the map and register the complaint. Nice !
Have a look the snapshot:
It is really nice to see local govt. authorities embracing technology for betterment of citizens. We always cry foul over their non-competence, but we have to give kudos for helpful initiatives like these !

one question to the so called high officers of Air force.Why are you fighting for parity when it never existed in your organisation.You had a pilot class and a ground duty class.So why speak of parity? Even under AVSC2 why do you have different promotion parameters? why do you have 16 yrs for pilot(just a glorified driver) and 18 yrs for all other branches.Then where is the parity?Pilots (even the dumbest and most indisciplined ) are given promotion while good ground duty officers dont make it since vacancies simply dont exist.Shame indeed.Then you dont deserve parity.
