Used IT to overhaul governance and deliver
results in state power firm and Vijayawada. He was already half-way through his
B.Tech in chemical engineering at IIT-Madras, when Natrajan Gulzar, now
District Magistrate, Hyderabad, realised that the great American dream was not
for him. He wanted to stay in India, and becoming an ias officer was the only
way his family would reconcile to the loss of the dollar dream. And so it was.
The son of a mathematics professor and a Hindi teacher, he got through to the
Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in 1999. But it wasn't till 2005 when
Gulzar, who gets his name "because my mother likes Hindi poetry," did
a programme on infrastructure in a market economy from Harvard University, that
he saw the light. On his return, he took charge as Commissioner of the
Vijayawada Municipal Corporation and prepared a blueprint to provide every
street with potable water and sewage lines, and every slum with liveable amenities.
"Vijayawada will be the first city in the country to have all facilities,
including water, power and sewage lines, on all its streets and in every
slum," he says. The effort took three years; projects have been sanctioned
and depending on how it is driven, the work can be completed in three to five
years for Rs.1,400 crore.
1,400 crore rupees will be spent on civic
facilities in Vijayawada
A great believer in the power of IT, he
transformed the Andhra Pradesh Eastern Power Distribution Company, in his
capacity as its CMD in 2009. He improved the work ethos with the introduction
of software that tracks the workflow of individuals. "This lowered the
transmission and distribution losses from 9.5 to 7.9 per cent," says the
36-year-old. The software is now being used by three other power distribution
companies in Andhra Pradesh.
"He's an effective administrator who
makes citizen-friendly interventions. He demonstrated it amply in his stint in
the state power distribution company."

Secretary, Energy, Andhra Pradesh
Gulzar points out that last mile
challenges, like getting a teacher to teach and medical staff to deliver health
services to the people, are huge. "IT has great potential in tackling such
issues but we have not paid attention to it so far," he says. He adds:
"A young officer thinks he has arrived the day he joins the IAS and that
there is nothing more to learn. But this is not the way." The Paul Krugman
follower feels that training inputs have to be reworked at the LBS National
Academy of Administration, Mussoorie, to enable administrators freedom in their
work. He is convinced that only through IT can good governance be delivered.
