Problems with Controlling
Controlling is
one necessary part of any organization its helps the organization stick to its
goals and direction of these goals.it helps monitor employees, control and
correcting work performance. I will start talking about the type of controls in
PHA control in PHA is totally limited it’s an autonomous body an organization
who is not accountable until and unless they start working on projects. So when
a project is given to be completed the employees start working on it. Only checks
are concurrent a way of monitoring that specific project at that time. when the
project gets completed controls are taken off. Control may also be of financial
control. A budget is given for a project.
Let’s say 100 rupees worth of a project there is a deviation of + 5% if it gets
short of funds the director general gets fund from Punjab government and allots
another 5 rupees worth to it. Which is one thing wrong in their controlling
projects should be efficient financially. Whenever PHA starts working on
projects the employees spend its first
30 % of total time of project allocation on minor things wasting
precious time. As time passes work starts to speed up even the assistant
directors start visiting often to check on the supervisors. But point is “a
director claimed” when we visit they start working when he step out of car.
They start working like they are the best of all manpower.
The moment he leaves
employees waste time talking to each other smoking cigarettes taking cups of
tea at khokhas in the vicinity.
So for a fact
there are no feed forward controls no one monitors the end product no one
checks it.
Even the chief minister doesn’t know the technical details
know how of projects
“An employee at pha claimed “ ….Bhai “ door say cheezain
ache lagteen hain” kareeb akar dekhain tou bohat kharabiyan hoti hain… tou
chief minister ko ab har baat nahy pata.woh to aksar aisay he “Inam dey kar
chala jata hai”.
From the above
context what can deduce that there is this planning department. Plans are made
by design department approved from the director general, and then they are sent
to planning department that is out of a question that this department is there
for rechecking for something that is approved and can’t say anything to
director general, so financial controls are weak. And there are no standards
set for good performance. Just work has to be completed.
