A Hungry, Undernourished World Out There Still

U.N. report sees no progress against global hunger Rome; ‘Ten years after global leaders first pledged to halve the number of world’s hungry almost no progress has been made’. Some 854 million people world wide are suffering from undernourishment, says U.N. report released on Monday, October, 30, 2006.

Who is responsible for this global hunger?
Are the 854 million hungry born to starve?
Don’t we have enough food to feed the unfed and the underfed?
How to get this problem addressed and solution found?
Are the forums like U.N.O (sorry U.S.O), the parliaments, and the assemblies too big to get the problem of the small man addressed?
When are we going to change our system for better governance?
When would our people allowed to live with a comfortable level of human dignity?

INCIDE BELIEVES IN GIVING MORE LIFE TO MORE PEOPLE BY CHANGING THE PRESENT STRUCTURE OF GOVERNANCE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARLIAMENT SYSTEM. AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARLIAMENTS ARE BROUGHT TO THE STREETS PEOPLE AT THE GROSS ROOT ARE ABLE TO REACH THE HOUSES OF GOVERNANCE AND GET THEIR VOICE HEARD.

The Guiding Principles

1. The Principle of Numerical Uniformity:
Once you have certain number of neighborhood parliaments you can automatically have a village parliament; and once you have a certain number of village parliaments you can have a panchayat parliament and so on. Naturally the constituencies are uniform in size.

2. The Principle of Smallness of Size:
The first eight tiers of the parliaments consist of just 40 members in each. This comfortable size is suitable for discussing the problems of people and finding solutions in time.

3. The Principle of Recall:
You don’t need to wait for five years to call back a candidate whom you “elected” form one level of the parliament to the next. As you are a small community at each level of the parliament, you can call your parliament any time you want and decide together to send someone else who would explain and represent your concerns better.

4. The Principle of Subsidiarity:
Subsidiary units get the focus here. Vitality, dynamism and power are distributed and shared with more concentration at the lower levels. No business that could be handled at a lower level is taken to any level above it. Higher levels deal only with those matters that the lower levels cannot handle.

5. The Principle of Convergence:
This means once you have such a network everything converges at this network. Everything is done through it. This reinforces the structures further and further. Thus whether children’s programs, adolescents programs, self-help groups or what not, everything is referred to neighborhoods and their representative networks.

Welcome To Our New World

Where everybody feels Life is Good.

God’s World has no borders, no discriminations, no conflicts and no wars. But man’s world has all this. But the majority of people feel life is not good in today’s world. Where does the blame lie for our failure to make the world a place where everybody feels life is good? We think it lies in the structure of governance and we believe a change in the structure of governance a need of the hour.

Come, let’s dream of a new world structure, a structure where everybody feels life is good.

Further entries will be followed by the various levels of "The Structure of New World Governance".
