RTI User was murdered for exposing corruption in Odisha

Parshuram Pradhan, former Sarapanch of Sambalpur District was murdered  due to  expose of corruption  under RTI Act.

On 27.8.18.,  Sri Parshuram Pradhan, aged 60 , while returning  to his home  in the evening  was mercilessly  beaten up with  iron rod and sharp weapons  by a gang of 6 hooligans. His body suffered from heavy injury and head was bleeding  when he was rescued  by the family members.  He was carried to Burla Medical, Sambalpur  and  doctor  declared  him dead  in same day, as   responded  by his family  member  to the  query   raised  by  members of Fact-finding  team led  by Manoj Panda, District  Convener of  Odisha  Soochana Adhikar  Abhijan.   Having gone through newspaper on 29.8.18.,   The Team  was deputed  to visit  the spot  and gather  ground zero information  about  murder of Parshuram Pradhan.

Sri Parshuram  is blessed  with one married  son  and two married  daughters  was sarapnch  of Salebhata Gram Panchayat. He is very popular and honest. Since last one year he has been using RTI to expose corruption in Govt.  offices. He had used RTI extensively to expose corruption in Keutaberini Primary Agriculture Cooperative society in terms of distribution of loan to the beneficiaries. Having discovered huge corruption from the information supplied by the Society, he filed complaint to State Vigilance for inquiry and urgent action.  The Vigilance Dept. conducted inquiry and arrested Dasarath Dhal, secretary of the society and Ratish Dhal, Assistant Secretary. After they returned from the jail, they have attempted several times to kill Parsuram and he had got escaped.

On 27.8.18., they succeeded in their plan to murder Pasrhuram. On FIR filed  by Tuna Pradhan, son of deceased , the Police of Naktideula  Police station  registered the case and started  investigation and arrested  two  miscreants. Others are absconding.

We demand that 
a. The State Government should take immediate steps  to arrest all those accused who are absconding.
b. The Family of Parshuram must be awarded  compensation of Rs. 10 lakhs  .
c. RTI Activists  should be provided protection  and given due honour in their fight against corruption.

Why Biju Swasthya Yojana will destroy Govt. health system in Odisha

Why Biju Swasthya Yojana  will destroy Govt. health system in Odisha  and lead to corporatization of Health System in the state .

Dear friends

Today ( 30.8.18), Sambad has covered a news  that Capital Hospital located in the heart of Bhubaneswar, capital city of Odisha, around 2 kms away from residence of Chief Minister has shortage of 104 staff Nurse against required strength of the hospital. Similarly   few months back, information obtained under RTI from Health and Family Welfare Dept. has exposed  disastrous condition of Govt. hospitals  due to 50% of post of doctors  ( specialists, Professors and Assistants professors ) lying  vacant  in the state.  The new medical college and hospitals in different districts like Mayurbhanj, Balasore, Bolangir and Koraput are seen shortage of teaching and non-teaching staff which has resulted in damaging academic atmosphere in these institutions. Mass media also continues to highlight defunct and damaging condition of costly medical instruments worth crores of rupees   due to vacancy of technical staff in these medicals to handle it.  Lack of infrastructure ,  transport system, doctors, para-medical staff  has  deprived  lakhs of  poor people  to get   basic health services  in  coastal odisha  nearer  to urban areas  as well  as remote pockets of the state .

Without taking any steps to solve these problems,  why the State Govt.  has launched  this  Biju  Swastya Yojana , a scheme for  assuring health coverage of  Rs. 5 lakh  to each family  and extra Rs. 2 lakh coverage for women in a year. There are few hidden objectives  behind  declaring this scheme  which are  as follows.

A.      It  will act  as safety valve  to save the Government  from public  criticism of deteriorating health system of the state and failure of the Govt. to provide health services  to the people , as it assures   financial support  to the poor  family  to  get treatment free of cost without paying a single pie  from his or her pockets. The people will get relax and  It  will also give political mileage  to BJD Govt.

B.      In view of  denial of health services  in Primary Health Centres, Community Health Centres  and District Hospitals due to the reasons stated  above,  the people with  health card having assurance of  health coverage  free of cost,  will  go  to private  hospital to  get treatment  which  will comparatively better  than  Govt. hospitals. The public fund i.e., Govt. fund will directly flow to private business house running private hospitals through this scheme.  The private hospitals  will boom. The existing  loot, manipulation  and misappropriation of fund     in RSBY  Card and Biju Krushak Kalyan Yojana  ( BKKY )  by private hospitals  will continue in  new scheme  and new form.  The State exchequer will   no doubt  will continue to suffer.

C.      The people  will  get satisfied  to some extent  getting  better treatment  in private  hospitals. It may help  the ruling party   strengthen vote bank. But in the long-run , it  will damage and destroy age-old   Govt. hospitals.  Finally  Govt. health delivery system  will  gradually collapse.  More dependency  of the people  on private hospitals  will  increase . It  will strengthen  exploitation of  private hospitals  in name of better health facility.

The people  who are supporting Biju Swastya Yojana and being swayed  away  by Nabin Patnaik propaganda must   understand  the  corporate- design motive of this  Govt. to destroy our Govt. health system and benefitting corporate house.

Huge public money misused by Govt. of Odisha in name of advertisement

Huge public money is misused by office of Chief Minister, Odisha, exposed  under RTI.

Dear friends

RTI Application was  submitted to  different  departments  seeking information  about  details of expenditure made  towards  advertisement  made in different newspaper.  In response to RTI Application, the PIO, office of Executive Engineer, Nayagarh ( R&B) Division, Nayagarh  provided  an  interesting  information dated 20.8.18 which is presented  below.

It  was  decided  by Govt.   that  the  Chief Minister  would  inaugurate a newly  constructed  Model Degree  College  in Nayagarh .  On 10.8.18.,   the Chief Minister without  visiting  the place  made  a video  conferencing  inauguration sitting in secretariat. But  Sri Ananta Das, Minister for Higher Education, Sri Pinali Mishra, MP and Sri Arun Sahu, MLA  rushed to the spot from Bhubaneswar  ansd  addressed  the inaugural function  organized  for the same  at Lathipada.  This  is the programme  which  does not  require any  advertisement, as  the video  conferencing inauguration and  inauguration function got due media coverage. 

But   it is interesting  that , the Executive Engineer,  Nayagarh ( R&B) Division, Nayagarh   was instructed  to place  fund for  advertisement  of the programme in  newspaper.  The Executive Engineer spent  Rs. 4,60,276.00  towards advertisement  of the said programme and advertisement  was given  to Dharitri ( Rs. 98,532.00), Surya Prava ( Rs. 81,093.00), Prameya ( Rs. 75,577.00), Odisha Baskar ( Rs.62,653.00), Odisha Express ( Rs. 61,296.00), Anupam Bharat ( Rs. 50,765.00), Susashan( Rs. 30,360).

It was not at all required  to spend  such a huge amount of money  for advertisement.  The Govt.  is spending cores of rupees  towards advertisement without any reasons  at the cost of state exchequer  and just to highlight  Nabin Patnaik , Chief Minister.  Noting more than that.  This is one of  thousands of cases  of misuse of money  by politicians and bureaucrats.

Central Scheme of Free Dialysis services is manipulated by Central Govt terming it as SAHAYA

Provision of Free Dialysis Services for poor kidney patients is a Central Govt. Scheme.

Govt. of Odisha has manipulated and hijacked it by declaring scheme “SAHAYA”, exposed under RTI

In 2016,  the Central Government declared Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme as part of National Health Mission  for provision of free dialysis services  to the poor in order to save them from huge financial burden and impoverishment, as   dialysis service is very  costly  in the hospitals and not affordable  by the poor patients. To implement this programme , the Central Govt.  released Rs. 152.80 crores  to all states and Union territories in financial year of  2016-17. Odisha received Rs. 2 crores under National Health Mission from the Central Govt.  to ensure free dialysis  services  to the patients.   But this fund was kept unutilized, as the State Government did not implement the programme.  Again in 2017-18, the Central Government released Rs. 358.45 lakhs under National Health Mission to Odisha Govt.   for ensuring free dialysis  services  to the patients.

But towards end of 2017, on 19.12.2017., the Chief Minister announced “SAHAYA” – A scheme for free Dialysis Services on the line of guideline issued by Govt. of India.  This Scheme  is copy and paste of Central Govt. guideline. The State Govt. made two years delay  to implement  this programme despite allocation of Central Fund. As per information obtained under RTI from the office of National Health Mission on 18.8.18.,   the State Government has started to implement the programme  w.e.f. 1.1.2018. With funding support  of  Central assistance ( Rs. 2 crore + Rs. 3.58 crores)  and State budget ( Rs. 1.15 crores),  this programme is now being implemented  with the following objectives –

i.     To ensure  assured diagnostic services in all public health facilities  as per its level of care so as  to reduce  the out of pocket spending ( OOPS)  towards diagnostics and dialysis services  through  strengthening  of public health  facilities.

ii.   To establish in collaboration with private service providers to ensure  High end pathology tests, tele-radiology ( x-ray) , MRI , CT-Scan & Dialysis services  at public health facilities.

Operationalisation of Dialysis Centres

Dialysis centres are operational in PPP mode at 7 DHHs (Capital Hospital, Angul, Balasore, Bolangir, Nuapara, Keonjhar and Puri ) during the period April-June 2018.

A total no. of 411 patients had undergone dialysis sessions at 7 DHHs during the period April-June 2018.  And the district wise details of the no. of patients are mentioned below.

Sl. No.	District/ Institution	No. of patients
1	Capital Hospital	102
2	DHH, Angul	43
3	DHH, Balasore	93
4	DHH, Boalngir	53
5	DHH, Nuapara	20
6	DHH, Keonjhar	55
7	DHH, Puri	45
	Total	411

Dialysis centres  have not yet been opeartionalised  in 23 district. All the  dialysis centres  will be operational  in PPP mode except 3 Govt. college and Hospitals.

Odisha Development Conclave, Transparency and Jagadanand Mohanty

( Bulletin-2)

Whether  it was Development  Conclave  or  Show  of  Jagadanand Mohanty  of CYSD

I  got opportunity  to  come across the agenda of 3-day programme of Odisha Development  Conclave-2018, but  could not  find any plenary session  devoted  for  discussion on RTI- A tool for transparency  and accountable governance in the country, Lokpal  and Lokayukta, Grievance Redressal mechanism  etc.  Good Governance is much-discussed buzz word in Civil Society Forum in the state.  Many NGOs   are also working  on  governance issues  in the state  and advocate  for transparency  in the administration, though  very  few  of them  work  on RTI.   As I have seen, Sri Jagadand Mohanty also projected himself great advocate  of  good governance . He had also served as State Information Commissioner for five years ( 2008-13), a transparency watch-dog  under RTI Act. However, during  this period, we have  exposed  him  how he   as Information Commissioner  has acted  to destroy  RTI Act  in the state  establishing unholy alliance with corrupt bureaucracy and demoralized  RTI Activists  and discouraged  them  from  carrying out   their mission  to  fight   for   transparency  and accountability in the administration.   When   we exposed  his true  character publicly and his ignorance  about law  and lack of expertise  to adjudicate  the case, he influenced the then    State  Chief Information Commissioner    to file defamation case  against me and Chitta Behera  in the court of First Class Judicial magistrate , Bhubaneswar  in October, 2010.  The case is pending  in the  court till  today.

However, without  being disturbed by  this conspiracy  of  Information Commission,  we  continue  to  bring to limelight  about  his dangerous performance as  Information Commissioner.  After  his tenure is over, As I have seen,  he keeps discussing  about RTI and transparent  governance  in various public meetings.

But  I got astonished  why  the same person failed  to keep  a session devoted  for  discussion on RTI  in Odisha Development  Conclave  and  transparency  about source of funding mobilized  from different  sources.  I was asking many of my friends about source of funding for this mega event. But nobody could speak about it. Nobody knows about it. They said that CYSD people were managing and controlling everything. All the NGOs who also participated in this conclave are hardly aware about the source.  Many people are alleging that Sri Jagadanand  and his NGO CYSD  has mobilized  huge fund from corporate  house  in form of funding  and also advertisement.  Same issue  was also cropped  up in  Odisha Development Conclave-2016, as the NGOs are still in dark  about  source of fund  and its utilization.  

Odisha, our beloved state, endowed with huge natural resources  and man power  is  still suffering  from hunger, malnutrition and earned notoriety for  being highest poverty stricken  population  in the country. It is due to maladministration, corruption and lack of transparency and accountability. Since 2005, the State Government has tried its best to dilute  and destroy RTI Act  in the  State and Odisha Information Commission like Sri Jagadanand Mohanty  has contributed  to it. The office of Lokpal was closed. Lokayukta  was  not appointed . So unless transparency is enforced ,  corruption cannot  be checked  and   effective administration can not  be streamlined. Transparency  in administration can ensure effective delivery of services  to the people  and generate public demand  to access to  services meant for them. The decade-long fight of RTI Activists has  contributed  a little   in this field and exposed  huge scams  and brought to limelight  true  character of Nabin Patnaik, most  corrupt chief Minister in history of Odisha.  

So any programme without transparency and accountability is big zero. The organizers of  Odisha Development  Conclave and NGOs  involved in this process  must  realize  it  which is  demand of the time. I appeal   them  to  immediately  disclose  the details of source of funding and allocation of fund  for  different  activity  of the Conclave   in order to set an example  in NGO sector. Sudarshan Chhotaray , journalist of the  Pioneer  was sharing  with  me  that  when  he asked  about  source of funding  for  conclave  in press meet,  Sri Jagadanand  and others   got terribly disturbed and  did not  reply anything   which has already been  highlighted  in “ the Orissa  Pioneer”.

We the RTI Activists  are not sitting idle. 20 RTI Applications   are being filed  tomorrow  to  different  offices including  CYSD , Bhubaneswar   seeking  information  about  budget,  source of funding, various activity including  bill and  vouchures.

We should also remember that  any  collective programme   can not  be  one-man show  and one-man propaganda.  It  is very dangerous trend and practice of feudal  culture  in Odisha  which  is against the spirit  of democracy. The learned NGO leaders  must  be aware and cautious   about  it.

Odisha development Conclave and Jagadanand Mohanty

My view on “Odisha Development Conclave-2018”

Why I hold my view it as Farce ?

As per law of medical Science, only masturbation does not ensure pregnancy. But it gives sensual or sexual pleasure.  That’s why doctors advise couple for sexual intercourse  which may lead to pregnancy . Karl Marx  has applied  this scientific law while  understanding   the contemporary society, class exploitation, class struggle i.e., “ theory of  two opposites.” This is the law  of nature.  Similarly, mere intellectual masturbation  ( discourse )  can not  give any result nor will it help developing  society or the state. It has never happened in history.  From  this   perspective , the performance of Odisha Development  Conclave  can be analysed.

The first Odisha Development Conclave was organized in Bhubaneswar in 2016  with much fanfare and  huge funding which has been kept secret till yet.  This 3-day programme ended  with a lot of  intellectual and academic discussion  through various plenary sessions with participation of good number of the people, activists, NGOs, Govt. officials and many more. What  is the outcome of that mega event ? What  was the action plan  and how it  was implemented ?  No response  has been given  from the organisers of  that  Conclave-2016. The net result  was  a high-profile report which  was   presented  to Governor by Sri Jagadanand Mohanty , Secretary CYSD  with his team. It was nothing but a melodrama.    In pre, post  and during  this Conclave-2016  , one man  was  seen being much highlighted  is none by Jagadanand Mohanty, a great Sarakari broker ( Govt. promoted Dalal ) who has spent most of his time  doing negotiation with Govt. in name of constructive engagements  and hobnobbing with corrupt bureaucracy  under Nabin Patnaik Govt. for project of CYSD , profit  and  Govt. land.  NGO sector  has not at all  been benefitted  rather he has used name of NGO sector  for his personal benefit.  As I have critically  understood  this man  and tested  him during his  position  as Information Commissioner, he  has not only misbehaved RTI Activists during hearing but  tried  his level best  to protect  corrupt Govt. official  and damaged  RTI  establishing unholy alliance  with  corrupt bureaucrats. Nobody will find a single outstanding decision of  his five years tenure. After his retirement ,  he immediately organized   a NGO meet  and so-called  Sambardhana Sabha was organized by  few lumpenised  activists and Sycophant NGOs   at Jayadev Bhawan  to keep his face clean  which  was seriously  damaged  by campaign of RTI Activists  and exposing his true character of dalali  in public  domain. Then, he started  and adopted  various tricks  to win over Govt.  to get Rajya Sabha ticket  and used his all strength and contact and connection  to influence Chief Minister.  But  he failed  to achieve it.  Odisha development  Conclave-2016  was  for  the  purpose of getting Rajya Sabha ticket   in name  of development of Odisha and NGO Fraternity. It was organized  to develop his image and profile so that the political leadership  will be attracted  and influenced to give him ticket for Rajya Sabha. He was highly  unhappy  when Sri A.V.Swamy  got Rajya Sabha  ticket.  My friends of NGO sector  must  understand   selfish character  of Jagadanand and his ill-motive behind organizing any programme. When  Sri Achyut Samant  and Sri Soumya Ranjan Patnaik  got Rajya sabha ticket, his  last hope  to get Raj sabha  ticket dashed out and got  terribly  disturbed.

Having lost   faith on  BJD, he  has very  cunningly and calculatedly  moved  to Dharmendra Pradhan,  face of BJP , party  in power in centre. As  he knows  dirty trick of influencing  others  for his vested interest, he  somehow  has succeeded  in influencing  Dharmendra  bhai  to get  benefit or  bargain  with BJD  for Rajya sabha  and  projects  for CYSD  in name  of NGO sector.  This Conclave-2018  is nothing  for development of our beloved state   but  for  his  vested interest. That’s why  his name  is only  discussed in conclave as if  he is  development messiah.     

I appeal all my friends in voluntary  sector  and NGO chiefs  to be cautious  and careful   about  such  character which is detrimental  to the interest of the state.

My lone voice is just  like an earthen lamp which dares  to lighten  deep dark world.   All of  you may like or dislike. But I presented  the fact-sheet  from my experience while working  in this sector  for 23 years.
