Policy of Reward and Punishment by Mamata Banerjee

So far there was not any system of rewarding for good work and punishing for bad work in any government department in West Bengal. As a result, there was no responsibility of any individual officer or employee. Therefore, the question of responsibility for a department to the people was out of question. She understood that it was the root cause of all evils. Hence, it is necessary to make officials responsible to their ultimate bosses – the people.

The wise chief minister undertook the carrot and stick policy. The departments that will deliver services on time will be rewarded and those who will fail to meet the deadline will face action. The main objective of the administrative calendar is to ensure accountability of the departments and spot non-performers, who will be penalized afterwards. In keeping with the comprehensive incentive and penalty system, 60 employees and officials of the public works, health and women and social welfare department were rewarded at a program for their contribution in achieving targets on time.

This government is unique in delivering good governance. The appreciation of employees for their achievements shows that the government does not think twice before appreciating the good work. On the other hand, the chief minister has already sent a message on what is in store for those who will fail to deliver on time by removing her trusted lieutenant Partha Chatterjee from the commerce and industries department. After that it became clear that the chief minister will not compromise with the performance of her government and whosoever faults will face her wrath.
