Suspended BMC Babus in Building Collapse case take ethics lessons


BMC spend near about Rs 69.58 laks to trained 318  Class I officers for ethical conduct while carrying out their duties. But this ethical training is waste bcz  bmc itself Suspended  2 BMC Babus in  Dockyard bmc  Building Collapse case who are selected for ethics lessons. One Atul Kulkarni has participated and other Dande Chandrashekhar not attended. Assistant Commissioner Chandrashekhar Choure( under enquiry) also not attend though He also selected. This revealed by RTI Activist Anil Galgali.

RTI Activist Anil Galgali ask  RTI query to Bmc about Ethics Training and total expenditure. Bmc Joint Chief Personal Officer Smt P P Walinjkar in reply to Galgali confirm that 3 Bill has paid to Friends of Morol Re-Armament (India) of amount Rs 67, 57, 500  and Rs 2, 00, 000 is sanction but payment not paid.Dmc GAD office Administrative Officer Smt N R Khandekar provide 8 batches detail and all officers list who are participated and nominated officers who did not attend. Till 318 officers has  attend the training which held at Panchgani. Courses contribution for conducting the Residential program for a group of officers and per person charges is Rs 15000. Contribution towards lodging  and boarding  Rs 1250 per person per day. Bmc  has paid to Friends of Morol Re-Armament (India) of amount Rs 67, 57, 500. Rs 2, 00, 000 is a Cost incurred for customising program which sanction but till not pay.

The idea behind the programme is to reflect upon their vision, the current reality and the gap in civic administration. But officers are only participated and not learn it properly. Bmc has suspended 11 officers in Dockyard bmc building collapse for there negligence and irresponsibility attitudes. Executive Engineer Atul Kulkarni has participated Ethics Training of batch no 5 in 10 October 2012 to 14 October 2012. In that batch total 42 officers participated.  Other suspended Executive Engineer Chandrashekhar Dande has nominated for batch no 6 in 7 to 11 January 2013 by Bmc but Mr Dande not attend.Assistant Commissioner Chandrashekhar Choure role is till not clear so only his inquiry initiated by Bmc. Choure also nominated by bmc for batch no 6 in 7 to 11 January 2013 but he not attend it.

The main goal to give an insight into duties and responsibilities as public servants, to sensitise them and increase productivity, but bmc has fail after spending laks of Rupees,said Anil Galgali. Galgali wrote behaf of his NGO Athak Seva Sangh to  Municipal Commissioner Sitaram Kunte  to conduct a inquiry on spend public money in a large scale which ultimately not give result to bmc nor public. If this ethics training is powerful and useful to improve governce then officer who get training  has not fail atleast. 

DMC GAD is  silent on Galgali query that how much bmc benefit after ethics training. They clarified that information ask by Galgali is related to  personally about officer who get training so its not available on there record.The eight batch of 318 participants, including DMC, Assistant Commissioners of Administrative Wards and Chief Engineers of different departments, Deputy Chief Engineer, Executive Engineer, Chief Fire Officer, Deputy officers of Garden, Legal, Education, Assessor & Collector, Health are trained for ethical conduct while carrying out their duties.The idea behind the programme is to reflect upon their vision, the current reality and the gap in civic administration, to tap their own inner resources for inspiration to learn from each other, to evolve a paradigm of ethical leadership and governance for themselves, to discuss case studies and research on public service issues, said Galgali
