[Suresh Anand <anu@wlink.net>]

I fully support the following proposal from Utkarsh. I wud say you need a
mimimum of Rs. 40-50,000 pm plus free decent housing and other usual civil
service benefits to attract the right kind.

HI EveryOne:

Just a thought. As a group we should ask our legislators and lawmakers to
be paid
well to do a good job. In my understanding, it will bring educated and able
individuals
to give a second look for a career in legislative branch of government. Any
body
has any idea how much an MLA and MP makes? I have read some numbers.  But
would like
to hear a factual number. Can anyone propose a salary for such important
positions
to reform India's policy making?

Thanks,

Utkarsh Kansal
