I am on a work out presently. Letme bring to your active concern as so from September 2003, to an institutionwhich is marked by wholesome corruption, gross misappropriation, huge andmassive amount of nepotism and enough self favoritism in its daily operations.I think I gathered almost all incidents chronologically as so from 2004 on wards, and I believe they ought to be the ill famed cartel formation, under diminishing productive capacity tumult, procurement fraud, tender concealmentand wide scale appointments, followed by the very recent blacklisting by worldhealth organization for kickback scandals, which involved the CGHM, twoadditional secretaries, one personal staff member, and many top officials ofthe CGHM.
Then finally a huge plan to sideline pasture institute at Conoor, andget it replaced by this 3rd grade institution has been on play whichwas freezed by the PMO back just before the elections. But fortunately orunfortunately, this organization gets ridden by the CEO who encounters almostall the barriers that come in its way, with tones of money. Where doe he getsthis money from? Mere appointments anddeviated contracts won’t add up to this sizeable figure.
This enormous figurecould only be made with the help of private organizations and pharmaceuticalgiants, biotech industries, which forms the backbone of Indian commerce andtrade. Subsidizing the government pharmacy sector which only results in a mere handfulof good establishments as its constituents in the green zone, instead theinvasion of such private pharma and biotechnology tycoons will utterlyundermine such institutions as HLL. See, what happened in an international bodyblacklisting a whole project lined with NACO, NRHM and the particular firm. Theblacklisting has not yet been unchecked. Such gross amount of corruption hasnot probably been witnessed in any department, any government.
The recentventures of establishing a huge Medipark in chengelpet, Chennai is the outcomeof deviant contracts and huge under the table negotiation in vaccine industry.The prestigious pastor institute at conoor has virtually been deactivated and anentire group of scientists like eminent Dr. Y. Prabhavati has been crying for theredemption of tradition build trust research and production centres like Pasteurinstitute and bringing out the foul play done by many.
Also, take for instancethe concept of mini ratna; the size of the concern is obviously small whencompared to non proportionate bribery flown in, and even the figures that itowns for its year end sweat doesn’t glitters a heart and soul work, but insteadborne from subsidies and grants, on export orientation programmes and research, and many similar governmental programmes done to corroborate the functioningfrom the legitimate standpoint. Buying an enormous amount from the government, then initiating many projects, most of them having their half lives less thanthree years, and then jumping into next projects like mother and babyhospitals, medipark, lifespring, maintaining resource for RGBT, SCIM etc can becompared to knee jerks on visualizing castles in air. All of them are driven inred. A Lady that sorts out the audited figures is a chartered accountant andbelongs to the Director Board of the same institution.
The contract made withSree Chitra Institute isn’t functioning in full mode know. Further a contractmade with Rajiv Gandhi Institute has ended up in papers. Now the new mode ofimplementing business is diverting the funds for state government appeasement.They are about to establish MRI scans in many hospitals and medical colleges inthe state. How far this is going to be functional and how far a relationbetween an export company facing allegations plenty of corruption andmalpractice, is going to get feasible with a state government willing to domuch for and out of grants. Anyway, five years of constant perusal of this catand mouse game has made one thing clear. Even if thousands of such scripts arejotted out, seldom will happen to such institutional heads who always favoursmoney, and nothing but money. Now, As for the epilogue, very recently one of mythickest friends daughter was asked above ten lakhs for gaining an appointmentas a management trainee. But my friend who is a real estate millionaire knewvery well to perform in bargains and in business. He calculated the amount hemight be asked to pay in future for a secure stand in the same job. Why notlive in my arena as Alsatian rather in somebody’s verandah as a poodle.
Yet to follow……..
