 Shri
Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu is a fourth time Member of the Lok
Sabha from Rajapur Constituency of Maharastra - one of the biggest
states of India. He was Industry Minister, Government of India in
his first spell. Then, he was Minister of Environment and Forests,
Government of India and formerly, Minister of Fertilizers &
Chemicals. He was the Union Minister for Power, Government of India
until August 2002.
As soon as he assumes charge, he would secure the blue-print of
development for the next five years, fixing the target dates for
the action points.
He is well known for his easy accessibility to the public, which
not only acts as a deterrent to the bureaucratic delays and corruption
in the functioning of the Ministry, but also encourages new ideas
and view-points. Shri Prabhu believes in listening to criticism
of the Government's policies, which he says, helps in reorienting
the policies towards the greater common good. He is also a believer
in people's participation in the working of the Ministries under
him, especially through the involvement of NGOs and people's groups.
