Do not help the government abdicate their responsibility

These days, the NDTV-Cocacola - Support my School campaign is pretty much on the air. While the idea of private parties pitching-in for development purposes is good, the methods adopted are not. Approach the beneficiaries but through the government, not directly.If you wish to give money, do so but route it through the govt.
Oh yes, I know that had the govt worked satisfactorily, there might be no need for private parties to pitch in. However, it would be better for the schools ( in the long run ) to have the govt work even if a bit better, than by getting one time doles.
Teach a hungry man to fish, rather than handing him a fish. How many times will you give him a fish?
A one percentage increase in the govt's ability/desire to improve schools will be more beneficial than 500 bathrooms created one time in schools by Cococola.Seeing someone else take over the duties legitimately theirs, the govt happily pulls out whatever little they were doing. Public private partnership projects should strengthen the public( and govt ) sector,not weaken it. At this rate, the people will soon be making roads, policing themselves and having armies of their own. Do you notice that most of these activities are increasingly coming under private domain in India. Is it happening like this in the US too? No, they force their govts to do the jobs assigned to them, rather than facilitate them getting off the hook.
If high profile guys like Sachin Tendulkar who support the NDTV-Cocacola campaign get after the govt to improve its functioning, it will get better.
But, then, the real aim of such campaigns is publicity and not improvement in schools!
