I give only one instance. Supply of drinking water for the villages was referred to as a basic need in the second plan and in this plan it has been referred to as an amenity. I find that the draft is not as clear as was the second plan. The planning commission was appointed after the constitution had been framed. The constitution had given certain directive principles and it was expected that the planning commission would come out with a plan for the implementation of those principles. I can give only one illustration. The prime minister talked about so many millions of children going to school. But how many millions are there who are not going to school? The directive principle lays down that by the end of 1960, all children up to 14 years should be in school and now we find that even by the end of the eleventh plan, we will not be able to send all children under 14 to school. Administration, as we all know, has grown not only in volume but also in complexity. So, it is but proper that the house attaches the greatest importance to the machinery which is charged with the responsibility of seeing that the recruitment and the discipline of the services are maintained at the highest possible standard. Sir, the report before the house gives a clean bill to the government. But from what some of the hon. Members pointed out during the debate, it seems to me that the report is significant for what it omits to say. For instance, my hon friend, Mr. Bhargava, drew attention to a number of alleged irregularities on the part of the commission and the ministries. For instance, my hon friend, Mr. Bhargava, drew attention to a number of alleged irregularities on the part of the commission and the ministries. We do not know how far they.
