Statement–Courses of Action (institutional performance & accountability): A Committee criticized the Institute for failing to implement numerous routine programmes despite increased staff strength and for not preparing a firm action plan for studies and research; which course(s) of action logically follow—(I) redefine the Institute's broad objectives and translate them into a practical action plan, and (II) require the Institute to report reasons for non-implementation of planned programmes?

Given data

• Implementation failure exists despite higher staffing.
• No firm action plan for studies/research was drawn up.
• Courses: (I) redefine objectives and produce a practical action plan; (II) submit a report on reasons for non-implementation.

Concept/Approach (forward plan + backward accountability)Effective correction requires both a pragmatic plan going forward and accountability for past lapses.

Step 1: Course IDirectly addresses planning and execution gaps; enables measurable implementation.

Step 2: Course IICreates transparency, root-cause analysis, and prevents recurrence.

Final AnswerBoth I and II follow.
