Categorically blaming the inadequacy of good institutions for the prevailing sense of hopelessness in Jammu and Kashmir, need aligning the policy decisions to the social choices of people so that credible institutions can be build to inculcate positivity in the society
Ironically State lacks good institutions to which people can look up to with pride and honor. In reality, we have very few institutions which can offer us hope and strength. The society must come together and think how we can fill this void. The government should try to enhance its prestige in coming days through strategic interventions. New and credible institutions must be created to overcome the negativity we are going through. We need institutions which will grow and prosper in coming months and years, and the state government is willing to consider ceding more institutional and financial autonomy to the institute in the interest of healthcare in Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, there is dire need of allocative parameters for sectors like health which can be backed by data and research. Money is never a problem for the government. The question is how effectively you use it, with what purpose and to what end.
Pertinently, this great institution is the last ray of hope for people living in far-flung areas who don’t have means to afford private treatment. We need to delink the specialists from the administrative work so that they can work for patient welfare alone.
