Recommendations to the Newly Elected

Presuming that the newly elected persons are truly dedicated to the development of their constituency, here are a few recommendations to them:

Know your constituency, by collecting data on,
  1. Institutions rendering service, like, hospitals, voluntary institutions, development communication,
  2. Institutions engaged in human resource development, their support bases, and their reach,
  3. Employment promotion avenues,
  4. Quality of life improvement avenues, etc.

Know the budget provisions of the Central Government, which can support these institutions.
Also, find out the procedures to draw funds from these budget provisions. For example, what are the Schemes which aim to harvest rain water, set up public sanitation facilities, enhance infrastructure for ware housing local produce, provide needed inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, loans, etc. Publicize this information in your constituency.

Create a mechanism to maintain regular contact with your constituents, for speedy registration and effective disposal of grievances.
