Dear Friends,

 

I have joined ESIC Hospital Basaidarapur on 24th September, 2022.  Since, then I am in pursuit of learning the modus operandi of mismanagement of Hospital.

 

Initially, I was posted in E-I A Branch and files of E-II Branch were made to be routed through me. Very soon E-I A Branch was removed from me and I was made to look after E-II Branch directly and the E-I A Branch was restored to same officer who was looking after this branch since long.

 

In due course, I came to know that the subject of transfer posting of Group C employees which was traditionally a subject of E-II Branch has been allowed to be retained with E-I A Branch with corrupt intention.

 

Very soon I came to know that E-I A Branch is instrumental in allowing posting of known corrupt Group C staff on strategic location so that they could collect bribe and share it with Administrative Officers who are at the helm of affair in Hospital.

 

Some strategic post auctioned by administrative officers as point of collection are as follows :

1.

Posting in SST Branch.

2.

Positing in Medical Store.

3.

Posting in IIIrd party Bill seat in Accounts Branch.

4.

Posing in Cheque writer seat in Accounts Branch.

5.

Posting in IIIrd party Bill seat in Cash Branch.

6.

Posting in General Branch seats dealing with Manpower Contractors, ARM agency and GeM suppliers.

 

During this brief tenure, I very soon felt that E-II Branch which was basically looking after maximum number of service books of Group C staff of the Hospital was totally neglected and mismanaged.

 

This branch was groomed as a suitable place for punishment not only for Group C staff but also to Group A and B Officers.

 

It resulted in hundreds of Court Cases and contempt petitions.  I tried to streamline the functioning of E-II Branch. But soon Most Corrupt Officer of ESIC, Mr. S. P. Pandey, Deputy Director (Ad hoc) who was under transfer was relieved from the Hospital.

 

Hence, I was given posting of General Branch in place of E-II Branch.

 

Before my joining General Branch, the corrupt officer with the help of his corrupt regime made the backup arrangement and most of the work of General Branch other than GeM procurement was distributed to other officers on the presumption that I will take many months to learn GeM Procurement.

 

From very beginning while going through very initial GeM procurement proposal processed by delinquent relinquished officer the proposals were found to be full of defects.

 

Half a dozen such cases were found to be in violation of GFR, GeM and Office Procedures.

 

Nearly, 22 cases of GeM procurement payments were pending for payment.

 

Many contingent advance bill were pending for settlement. Even procurement of fake items, unwanted procurement, inflated requirement for procurement were some of the methods of corruption.

  

In the mean time I got an inkling that the previous corrupt regime was not only involved in all kind of corrupt activities but a share of such collection was going to ESIC Officers Federation also.  Some even say that monthly collection is to the tune of Rs. 30 lakhs.  In view of such a pathetic condition I have decided that I will strive to expose these corrupt activities.

 

Hence, I will freeze all my experiences in this website so that it could be a guiding informative treasure of information to tackle corruption in various ESIC Establishments.
