A company like TCS reputed to be the employer of choice should be strict and prompt in punishing the guilty irrespective of their status. Fewer complaints may be as much due to a responsive complaints redressal system as due to lack of faith in the system itself. The organisation should find the truth, such as through a trusted exit interview mode. Every new woman employee should be apprised of POSH or provided with a copy of the relevant provisions on joining. Most importantly, the HR head of an organisation must be held responsible for vitiation of organisational culture due to the acts of his team.YG ChoukseyPuneSIP investingThis refers to ‘SIP with caution’ (April 16). A practical way forward would be for AMCs and distributors to strengthen basic investor education on rupee-cost averaging, asset allocation, and the difference between market timing and systematic investing.Simple, regular communication — perhaps short monthly updates or clear risk labels on fund categories — could help new investors stay the course during volatile periods. Greater focus on promoting balanced and debt funds for conservative retail savers would also serve them better in the long run.SM JeevaChennaiNatural farming pushApropos, ‘Natural farming should become mainstream policy’ (April 16). The suggestion to shift from Green Revolution practice to natural farming is valid from the perspective of enhancing soil heath. However, the job of convincing farmers that the shift will not push them further into debt is crucial. The support under National Mission on Natural Farming (NMNF) may not convince farmers to shift to natural farming, especially those who are already under the burden of secured financial debt, as its repayment could be derailed. Therefore, the government must offer a one time debt service to farmers who willingly shift to natural farming, with a legal obligation that they don’t revert back to Green Revolution practice.Rajiv MagalHalekere Village, KarnatakaPublished on April 16, 2026Sign into Unlock benefits!Access 10 free stories per monthAccess to comment on every storySign up/Manage to our newslettersGet notified by email for early preview to new features, discounts & offers${ ind + 1 } ${ device }Last active - ${ la }
