Some More Freebies
Dr T H Chowdary*
All political parties while in the arena of elections are promising more and more freebies /give aways /gifts from government sources ( taxation and borrowings) to the electors. Totally ignoring they increase in public debt and interest payment; ignoring development of infrastructure that enables people and families to have gainful employment and creation of wealth for themselves and the nation. Conspicuously not yet promised are :
· State Marriages Corporation : A state-owned corporation for facilitating and performing the marriage of the unmarried. It may be called State Marriages Corporation . Employment exchanges by the government were designed to provide and facilitate employment for the unemployed seekers. Similarly to stop exploitation and malpractices in private marriage bureaus government itself may establish and operate state marriage corporation with which unmarried young can register their names and the state facilitates interviews, intersessions and finally betrothal and even perform the marriage at rates commensurate with the pomp with which the marriage is to be celebrated.
· State Surrogacy Corporation: Increasing number of women are engaged at work in corporations , government and self-employment . Pregnancy should not interfere with their work. With this view working women and are availing of costly privately- run surrogate mothers facilities. The state itself as a welfare measures for ladies may start such corporation and provide the services .
· State Fertility Corporation: Many women unable to conceive are spending huge amounts at private fertility hospitals . The state itself may establish fertility corporation with operation in different cities. This would prevent the high cost which private facilities are charging.
Some States like AP have established dozens of corporations serving welfare to different castes / communities . The above three corporations will be shining example of the State’s welfare services to people from cradle to grave . ( 296 words)
