arguments that farmers
will not go to the com-
mittee.Wearelookingto

(farmers) want to agi-
tate indefinitely, you can
do so,” CJI Bobde said.
“We are concerned
about the validity of the
laws and also about pro-
tecting the life and prop-
erty of citizens affected
by protests. We are try-
ing to solve the problem
in accordance with the
powers we have. One of
the powers we have is to
suspend the legislation
and make a committee,”
he said.
“This committee will
be for us. All of you peo-
ple who are expected to
solve the issue will go
before this committee.
It will not pass an order
or punish you, it will
only submit a report to
us... The committee is
part of the judicial pro-
cess in this case. We are
planning to suspend the
laws but not indefinite-
ly,” he added.

Aditi Nagar/Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: For several
weeks now, political ob-
servers have been feel-
ing the ‘undercurrent’
of a political ‘clash’, yet
again in Rajasthan,
however, no one seems
to be sure of what is
happening. And, amidst
all this ‘confusion’, the
visit of KC Venugopal,
the national general
secretary of the Con-
gress party and Rajya
Sabha MP from Ra-
jasthan, is considered
special in many ways.
Venugopal left for
Jaipur on Tuesday
night amid murmurs
that he will ‘huddle’
with CM Gehlot and
PCC Chief Govind Sin-
gh Dotasra on Wednes-
day. Interestingly, Ge-
hlot has accorded ‘state
guest’ status to KC on
this visit!
Highly placed sourc-
es in the grand-old par-
ty reveal that during his
visit, Venugopal will
discuss various issues
with CM Gehlot, prime
amongst which is the
electoral issues of Ker-
ala for the upcoming
Kerala Assembly elec-
tions, for which CM Ge-
hlot has been appointed
as a senior observer.
Ashok Gehlot is a
well-known political
strategist and election
manager in the Con-
gress, which is why So-
nia Gandhi has given
him the election task of
Kerala. Gehlot will han-
dle the promotion, dis-
semination and man-
agement of Congress
campaign in upcoming
Kerala elections. There-
fore, issues related to

“The central govern-

ECO-SENSITIVE ZONE PUTS BREAKS ON JDA PLANS IN NAHARGARH
The protected area of the sanctuary and the entire Zone covers about 80 square kilometers
Abhishek Srivastava
Jaipur: The Eco-Sensi-
tive Zone of Nahargarh
Wildlife Sanctuary has
affected the existing
and future plans of
Jaipur Development
A u t h o r i t y
(JDA). The JDA offi-
cials themselves were
also not aware of this
notification.
The matter came to
light during the con-
sideration of a case
in the meeting of the
Building Map Com-
mittee on 4 Janu-
ary. The JDA had rec-
ommended a single
lease for a resort and
the state government
also approved the
lease. Later, when
the maps for the con-
struction of the pro-
posed resort in Nan-
gal Susavatan village
of Amer tehsil were
placed in the meet-
ing, it was found that
this resort is under
the scope of Eco-Sen-
sitive Zone. Due to
this, the committee
decided to cancel the
lease and resend the
matter to the govern-
ment.
The protected area
of the sanctuary and
the entire Zone cov-
ers an area of about 80
square kilometers. The
area which has been
included in the Zone
includes many exist-
ing and future plans of
JDA, which was plan-
ning to auction the
land for a hotel and re-
sort in this area but
due to this notifica-
tion, JDA’s plan has
been thwarted. Offi-
cials said it is being as-
sessed as to how many
more projects of the
JDA will be affected by
the zone.
The zone, located in
the hills of Amer, was
notified by the Union
Ministry of Environ-
ment, Forest and Cli-
mate Change on March
8, 2019. Under the am-
bit of Eco-Sensitive
Zone, 13 villages of the
JDA region are fully or
partially covered in-
cluding Kukas, Har-
wad, Dhand, Gunawa-
ta, Labana, Ani, Ach-
rol, Jaitpura Puli,
Chhapreri, Singhwa-
na, Chokhliwas, Bag-
wara, and Daulatpura.
JDA will carry out several works of beautification and plantation in Jaipur.

hether the
storming of the
US Capitol was
an attempted
coup, an insur-
rection, or an assault on
democracyismerelyaques-
tion of semantics. What
matters is that the violence
was aimed at derailing a le-
gitimate transition of pow-
er for the benefit and at the
behest of a dangerous mad-
man. President Donald
Trump, who has never hid-
den his dictatorial aspira-
tions, should now be re-
moved from power, barred
frompublicoffice,andpros-
ecuted for high crimes.
After all, the events of
January 6 may have been
shocking, but they were not
surprising. I and many
other commentators had
long warned that the 2020
election would bring civil
unrest, violence, and at-
tempts by Trump to remain
in power illegally. Beyond
his election-related crimes,
Trump is also guilty of a
reckless disregard for pub-
lic health. He and his ad-
ministration bear much of
the blame for the massive
COVID-19 death toll in the
United States, which ac-
counts for only 4% of the
global population but 20%
of all coronavirus deaths.
Once a beacon of democ-
racy, rule of law, and good
governance, the US now
looks like a banana repub-
lic that is incapable of con-
trolling either a contagious
disease – despite spending
more on health care per
capita than any other coun-
try – or mobs incited by a
wannabe dictator. Authori-
tarian leaders around the
world are now laughing at
the US and scoffing at
American critiques of oth-
ers’ political misrule. As if
the damage done to US soft
power over the past four
years was not immense
enough, Trump’s failed in-
surrection has under-
mined America’s standing
even more.
Worse, although Presi-
dent-elect Joe Biden will be
inaugurated in about a
week, that is plenty of time
for Trump to create more
mayhem. Right-wing mili-
tias and white suprema-
cists are already planning
more acts of protest, vio-
lence, and racial warfare in
cities across the US. And
strategic rivals such as Rus-
sia, China, Iran, and North
Korea will be looking to ex-
ploit the chaos by sowing
disinformation or launch-
ing cyber-attacks, includ-
ing potentially against
critical US infrastructure.
At the same time, a des-
perate Trump may try to
“wag the dog” by ordering
a strike – perhaps with a
tactical nuclear warhead –
on Iran’s main nuclear fa-
cility in Natanz, on the
grounds that it is being
used to enrich uranium.
Far from this being out of
the question, the Trump
administration has al-
ready held drills with
stealth bombers and fight-
er jets – loaded, for the first
time, with tactical nuclear
weapons – to signal to Iran
that its air defenses are no
defense at all.
The prospect of an attack
on Iran may give Vice Pres-
ident Mike Pence the pre-
text he needs to invoke the
25th Amendment and re-
move Trump from power.
Butevenif thisweretohap-
pen, it would not necessar-
ily be a win for democracy
and the rule of law. Trump
could – and likely would –
be pardoned by Pence (as
Richard Nixon was by Ger-
ald Ford), allowing him to
run for president again in
2024 or be a kingmaker in
that election, given that he
now controls the Republi-
can party and its base. Re-
moving Trump with the
promise of a pardon may be
a Faustian deal that Pence
strikes with Trump.

mployees first, customers sec-
ond” was probably one of the
early concepts that were aimed
at empowering the work-
force. It emphasises on the fact
that customers can be delight-
ed only if employees are de-
lighted and hence, committed
to your cause. One cannot take
away the fact that the success
or failure of any business, to a
large extent, depends on its em-
ployees. With this renewed em-
phasis on a company’s work-
force, a relatively new concept
in India, employee as partners
has slowly started to seep into
the business culture of compa-
nies. However, the concept is
still nascent in India. While
some companies have talked
about it, very few have actually
followed through.
The tendency of companies
is to view their employees as
order-takers rather than part-
ners. There are times when em-
ployee contributions fall into
the trap of the expected and
routine and their potential as a
valuable business partner is
not explored to the extent it is
possible. Undoubtedly, if the
companies can view their em-
ployees as business partners, it
will surely enable them to be-
come more competitive and in-
novative in today’s market.
The reason for this is simple:
Treating employees as part-
ners leads to an understanding
among the workforce that they
have a shared purpose and a
common goal that everybody is
working towards. All employ-
ees irrespective of the role they
play have valuable inputs for
the business.
It makes a lot of sense, from
both an economic standpoint
and market reputation perspec-
tive, to make employees busi-
nesspartners.Thistranslatesto
using their knowledge, skills
and experience to enhance the
product quality, customer ser-
viceandinnovationsinthecom-
pany. Making employees busi-
nesspartnersisaboutempower-
ing them to take decisions on a
daily basis – decisions that will
enhance their work output and
quality and enhance the overall
performance of their team and
the company.
This concept reflects the
company’s commitment to be-
ing a good employer that be-
lieves in collaboration rather
than control. It would involve a
deep commitment and loyalty
of employees towards towards
the organization, its success,
reputation and its customer
base. It is a management tru-
ism, that customer service and
a company’s success is not the
job of a few but of each person
that works in the company and
what better way to get everyone
‘on board’ than making em-
ployees business partners.
Making employees business
partners translates to them go-
ing the extra mile, doing much
more than the basic require-
ments of their job and demon-
strating their indefatigable
loyalty towards serving their
customers. Employment secu-
rity displays the company’s
commitment to the welfare and
growth of their staff, such com-
panies also invest hugely in
employee training and coach-
ing programs aimed at self and
professional development.
The clear career paths also
contribute towards making
employees business partners.
The ultimate aim is to achieve
and over achieve all the goals
set out by each person and the
company. Binding employees
with rules and ‘red tape’ will
only make them lazy, dull and
unproductive.
In the endeavour of making
employees business partners,
companies must remember to
share information about the
companywithemployees.Many
companies send out mailers or
hold all-employee meets to
make specific company an-
nouncements. This ensures
that employees hear all that
they need to from the right peo-
ple and refrain from making as-
sumptions. Dissemination of
company news from the highest
rungs displays the company’s
trust in its employees, who then
return this trust by working
hard and doing more than what
the company expects of them.

FARMERS SAY NO TO
PRO-FARM LAW PANEL
day after lambasting the government for
its inability to resolve the crisis created
by the three contentious farm laws, the
Supreme Court stayed their implementa-
tion. They were being strongly opposed
by the farmers since November last year. A three-
judge Bench of Chief Justice of India, Justice SA
Bobde, Justice AS Bopanna, and Justice V. Ramasu-
bramanian ordered that until further orders the
implementation of Farmers (Empowerment & Pro-
tection)Agreementof PriceAssurance&FarmSer-
vicesAct2020,FarmersProduceTrade&Commerce
(promotion and Facilitation Act and Amendment to
Essential Commodities Act will remain stayed.
The Supreme Court also formed a four-member
expert committee consisting of Bhupinder Singh
Mann, national president of Bharatiya Kisan Un-
ion, Dr Pramod Kumar Joshi, Ashok Gulati (agri-
culture economist), and Anil Ghanawat (president
of Shetkari Sanghatana), all of whom have openly
supported the new farm laws. The protesting farm-
ers obviously don’t expect a fair deal from this pro-
government panel. Therefore, they rejected the
panel and announced that their agitation will con-
tinue. With the impasse unlikely to end now, will
the Supreme Court allow the government to crack
down on the protesters? On Monday the Chief Jus-
tice of India gave an indication of this when he
told the farmers, “Whether you have faith or not,
we are the Supreme Court, we will do our job.”
Staying of central legislation by the Supreme
Court is unusual. In 2019 it refused to stay the
amendments to the Scheduled Castes and Sched-
uled Tribes Atrocities Prevention Act. The court
had then said that it cannot stay legislation passed
by Parliament.

New Delhi: Ahead of
Supreme Court verdict
on farm laws, Union
Minister Anurag
Thakur on Tuesday
slammed Congress in-
terim President Sonia
Gandhi and urged her
to revisit her speeches
delivered in favour of
reforms in the agricul-
ture sector.
Reminding Congress
chief Sonia Gandhi
about the speeches she
had delivered in favour
of agriculture reforms,
the BJP leader asked
her to also listen to her
son Rahul Gandhi’s
press conferences on
agriculture reforms.
“My request to Sonia
is to listen to her old
speeches, to see Rahul
Gandhi’s press confer-
ence. They themselves
wanted these reforms
in agriculture laws.
They wanted accom-
plishment by imple-
menting them but could
not. On the other hand,
Modi government al-
ways worked for the
well being of farmers.
Farmers welfare was
merged with the agri-
culture ministry. Be it
PM Kisan Yojana, soil
testing, irrigation,
Modi government did
all,” he added. Thakur
said few people are mis-
leading farmers. He
also expressed hope of
a solution to the dead-
lock over farm laws will
be found.
The Congress chief is
expected to speak to op-
position leaders to
evolve a joint strategy
on farm laws. He said
Sonia Gandhi had deliv-
ered speeches on agri-
culture reforms.
“Maybe because
these were written
speeches and she was
only reading them, but
could not comprehend,”
the Minister said when
asked about Congress
chief’s plan to devise a
joint strategy with op-
position leaders on
farm laws.
BJP leaders have
been alleging that Con-
gress is fuelling the
farmers’ agitation for
its political gains.
While listing the
schemes rolled out by
the Centre for farmers
welfare he said, “2 crore
Kisan credit cards have
been issued during the
pandemic. We have also
aided earnings of dair-
ies and fisheries. Thou-
sands of crores were
given to farmers under
PM Kisan Samman Ni-
dhi,” added Thakur.

Moreover, Rahul Gan-

Kerala is also a prestige
election for Congress.
Rajasthani migrants

obvious that Venugo-

also discuss with Gehlot
about the issues related
to Rajasthan. Hinting at
the ‘time’ of Venugo-
pal’s arrival, knowl-

that since there are
murmurs of ‘power tus-
sle’ in Rajasthan yet
again, which is not out
in the open right now,
Venugopal is likely to
hold detailed discussion
with Gehlot over the
same to get to know the
ground realities. This is
backed by the fact that
when Gehlot camp was
lodged in five star hotel
in Jaisalmer for over a
month, Rahul Gandhi
had sent Venugopal as
his ‘emissary’ to learn
of the situation in Ra-
jasthan and it was after
Venugopal returned
back to Delhi that with-

returned to the party
fold. Therefore, Venugo-

“This is a historical

Poonawalla told ANI.
“We have given a spe-
cial price of Rs 200 for
the first 100 million
doses only to the Gov-
ernment of India on
their request, because
we want to support
common man, vulner-
able, poor and health-

that, we will be selling
it at Rs 1,000 in private
markets,” he said.
The SII CEO in-
formed that the govern-
ment has not given its
nod regarding selling
the vaccine in the pri-

“In the private mar-
ket, for those who want

MoS Agri: SC order against Govt wish,
but ‘sarva-manya’; panel ‘impartial’
Kailash Choudhary said the government is always ready for talks with farmers’ unions
New Delhi: The Gov-
ernment on Tuesday
said the Supreme Court
order to stay implemen-
tation of three new
farm laws is against its
wish but the direction
of the apex court is ‘sar-
va-manya’ (acceptable
to all) and welcomed the
composition of an “im-
partial” committee to
resolve the deadlock.
In an interview with
PTI, Minister of State
for Agriculture Kailash
Choudhary also said
the government is al-
ways ready for talks but
it is up to farmer unions
to decide whether they
want to go ahead with
the scheduled ninth
round of talks on Janu-
ary 15.
Choudhary, an MP
from Rajasthan, further
said he is confident that
whatever decision is
taken by the court, that
will be “taken to ensure
that the laws are kept
the way they are.”
“TheSCorderisagainst
our wish. We want the
laws to continue. How-
ever, the order is “sar-
va-manya” (acceptable
to all),” the minister
said.
Earlier in the day, the
court stayed the imple-
mentation of the three
contentious laws till
further orders and set
up a four-member com-
mittee to resolve the
deadlock between the
Centre and the farmer
unions protesting at
Delhi’s borders over the
legislations.
Agitating farmer un-
ions, however, said they
want nothing less than
a complete repeal of the
laws and said they will
not appear before the
panel and continue
their agitation.
Addressing to press at
Singhu Border here, un-
ion leaders alleged the
members of the com-
mittee are “pro-govern-
ment”.
In the first official re-
action from the govern-

welcome the SC order.

You would think that two
leaders who have been
in the same position would
be compared for their work,
however, the Congress workers
are ‘plagued’ with drawing a
comparison between the ‘past
and present’ and their mode
of ‘commute’. The Congress
members in Rajasthan are
forwarding two pictures, one
in which former PCC Chief
Sachin Pilot is seated in a
bullock-cart and the other in
which current PCC Chief Govind
Singh Dotasra is sitting in a
camel-cart. While some are
terming it to be a conspiracy
of circumstances, there are
those too who ‘see’ the ‘hidden
message’ in these pictures
and are trying to ‘deduce’ the
message according to their
understanding. However, one
thing is absolutely certain,
the almost similar style of
pictures have actually made the
Congress workers come ‘alive’
to inner party ‘preferences’.

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: The Jaipur Dis-
com is apparently ‘un-
well’ since its Chairman
IAS Dinesh Kumar and
MD AK Gupta are at log-
gerheads. The recent
‘tussle’ between the two
heavy-weightsisoverthe
outstanding electricity
bills since MD AK Gupta
has issued a ‘farman’
that for realising the out-
standing bills, the cus-
tomers’ connection
should be cut and their
asset be sold off. Only in
Jaipur circle, 85.86 crore
rupees of 71 thousand
customer bills are due.
The issue surround-
ing this ‘controversial’
order, which has project-
ed the state government
in bad light, is that nei-
ther minister BD Kalla
nor Chairman Dinesh
Kumar was consulted by
the MD. When the Chair-
man took cognizance of
the matter and sought a
reply, MD AK Gupta an-
swered in a rather ‘ag-
gressive’ manner and
said that his action has
been in line with the
powerandauthoritycon-
ferred on the post and
therefore, he does not
have to ask anyone be-
forehand. Miffed with
his reply, the Chairman
has complained about
his MD to the state gov-
ernment.
However, those in the
‘knowhow’ of state bu-
reaucracy and power cir-
cles, know that MD AK
Gupta is the ‘numero
uno’ in Discom. In the
current government’s
two year term, four
Chairmen have come
and gone, but Gupta has
remained ‘perched’ on
his seat. He is one of the
trusted and loved offic-
ers of the state govern-
mentandhasholdtillthe
‘toptier.’AftertheGehlot
government came to
power in December 2018,
the first appointment or-
der was issued in the
name of AK Gupta.
Much like the MDs of
Jodhpur and Ajmer Dis-
coms, his appointment
too was not for a speci-
fied period but ‘till fur-
ther orders’.
Gupta, who has held
position of MD of Jaipur
and Jodhpur Discoms in
thepast,knowstheinner
workings of the compa-
ny like the back of his
hand and therefore he
turned out to be more
‘resourceful’ than per-
haps other Chairmen
like NP Gangwar, Kun-
jilal Meena, Ajitabh
Sharma and now Dinesh
Kumar.
In the first year, he
spread his ‘influence’ via
his trusted ‘lieutenant’
AEN Pundheer and it
wasthenthatPundheer’s
complaints were made to
the ACB and CMO. It was
afterCMO’sintervention
that Pundheer was shift-
ed out of the Vidhyut
Bhawan and then the
state government had
also signalled Gupta to
‘go slow’.
However, the state gov-
ernment’s trust on Gup-
ta is still going strong
and even though the
minister of the Chair-
man might be annoyed
with him, but the state
government is ‘happy’
with him. Gupta’s ‘effi-
cacy’ can be understood
from the simple fact that
he tried to ‘snatch’
Chairman Dinesh Ku-
mar’s seat through the
January 4 IAS transfer
list, and although he
could not achieve his tar-
get then, he has not let go
of his ‘attempts’.
All ‘powerful’ Jaipur Discom MD hoping to ‘shock’ Chairman!

Gehlot
says
VEDAS ARE TREASURE OF PRINCIPLES
OF GOOD GOVERNANCE: GEHLOT
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot has said that
Vedas are the treasure
of the principles of good
governance, and by
adopting these principles,
the concept of ‘Public
Welfare State’ can be
achieved.
Gehlot addressed
the National
Ved Sammelan
organised on the
occasion of National
Youth Day. On this
occasion, the Chief
Minister inaugurated
the portal on Vedic
Heritage and Manu-
script Research
Institute, Rajasthan
Sanskrit Academy.
Centuries ago, our
great scholars
handed over great
treasures to us in the
form of Vedas, that
include all matters in-
cluding environmen-
tal protection, duty of
the king, principles
of governance, ideal
subjects, democratic
values. The deeper
we study the Vedas,
the stronger our
resolve to give good
governance.
The Chief Minister said that Ayurveda
and Sanskrit University were estab-
lished in the state at the time of Con-
gress government. Now we are taking
forward the work of Vedic Education and
Sanskara Board. He said that the state
government will give encouragement to
the students doing research in the field
of Vedic literature.
Chief Secretary Niranjan Arya said
that the basic concept of our present
democratic and administrative sys-
tem is inspired by Vedic knowledge.
“The method of governing social life
described in the Vedas is the essence
of good governance. Vedic discourse
can be useful to prevent the decline of
cultural and moral values,” Arya said.
Our government will fur-
ther increase the work of
preservation and teaching of
Vedic education to bring the
knowledge contained in Vedas
to the people. Government will
leave no stone unturned in the
propagation of Vedic education
and ‘Deva-Vani’ Sanskrit.
We talk of ‘Vasudaiva Kutumbkam.’
This message should reach to the world as this
belief is the ‘basic notion’ which is an integral part of our
value system. ‘He is my brother and he isn’t,’ such kind
of thoughts are generated among petty minds. The entire
world is a family for those with a generous heart.
Minister of Arts and Culture, Dr. BD
Kalla said that the presence of 25 Ved
Schools and Sanskrit Education Directo-
rate based on Guru-Shishya tradition in
Rajasthan shows that the State Govern-
ment is working with positive thinking in
the direction of preserving Vedic traditions.
“Scriptures say that self interest lies in the
common good. This feeling should be the
basic mantra of governance,” he said.
The waiting list for 924 and 2,565 posts in REET-
2018 examination’s Level One and Two have been
released. A total of 3489 candidates have been selected
in this. Congratulations and best wishes to all the se-
lected candidates. Our intention is to solve the pending
cases of recruitments according to the rules, owing to
which, these lists have been released.

erate to conduct an
investigation in a
complaint filed
against IAS Rajesh
Yadav, currently

ohri being the first traditional
festival of the year, is celebrated
with immense love, laughter and
happiness all around. Celebrated
on January 13, Lohri marks the end
of the winter solstice and is also a
major harvest festival. For all the
ladies, it is one of those festivals, where they
get to glam-up and look their best, by putting
on their best ethnic outfits. Along with revdi,
gajak, chikki and popcorn, style, glamour
and love are what this festival is all about.
Like every year, since you cannot celebrate
this festival with all your family and friends,
there is definitely something you can surely
do- DRESS UP!
City First brings you a few styling tips to
look your best this Lohri, and eventually
spread love in your own sweet way.
Elegant Gown: Wearing a gorgeous gown or a
floor-length dress can never go wrong during
such a grand night. This will enhance the en-
tirelookandbringoutthegracefulsideof you
so you can slay effortlessly the entire event.
Dhoti and Kurti: Wearing a dhoti is the
new trend, and women are going absolutely
gaga over it. A short kurti with a dhoti will
make you look a class apart and is definitely
a head-turner.
Kurti with Palazzo/Pants: These combina-
tions may be the simplest ones, but are one
of the most elegant ones too. Pairing a gor-
geous kurti with contrasting-colour palazzo/
pants, or even palazzo/pants of the same
colour will make you look super graceful
throughout the event.

YOUR
DAYHoroscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
Promoted by Jeevan Raksha Healthcare Medical Store
opted for a post-
ing as Director
National Acade-
my Of Customs
Excise and Nar-
cotics [NACEN
for short –name
has since changed to NA-
CIN after GST] at Sector
22 at Faridabad. I joined
in July 1997 from Gwalior.
The Academy is spread
over 22 hectares campus
with teaching and admin-
istrative blocks, games
and sports block and resi-
dence for Probationers
and faculty.
I lived in one of the
Bungalows. My office was
500 mts away.
The faculty at NACEN
came from amongst the
officers of the Depart-
ment.
I received my first
shock upon joining the
academy. I was very dis-
appointed to find that the
milieu at the Academy
was practically anti-
training.
The faculty would
troop in leisurely around
11 in the morning. A few
classes would begin
around 11. 30 before ad-
journing for the one hour
lunch break. Usually no
classes were held after
lunch.
Between 3 to 4 the acad-
emy would shutter down
in a gradual manner as
faculty and staff would
leave for the day. . To be
fair to them it must be
stated that these people
came from far off places
in Delhi and Gurgoan etc.
Also the public transport
availability was practi-
cally nonexistent.
Thus they had compel-
ling reasons to leave early
to reach home. But in the
process the work at the
Academy suffered a great
deal.
Thus for me it became
imperative that a big
change was needed as I
was mandated by the Cen-
tral Board of Excise and
Customs to get the Acade-
myworkingatfullthrottle.
I approached the Board
and requested for dedi-
cated faculty to be posted
at NACEN. The Board ad-
vised me to call for volun-
teers who were willing to
work and stay at the acad-
emycampus.Sureenough
there were quite a few
takers. Very soon we had
a mix of committed Fac-
ulty who were mandated
to live on the campus as
well. That solved many of
my problems. But just as
I was about to put in my
plans into operation I was
nominated for Training
for Trainers 15 days pro-
gram at NADT [National
Academy of Direct Tax-
es] at Nagpur.
The course was being
conducted by Canadian
faculty under the CIDA
(Canadian International
Development Agency) In-
dia –Canada agreement.
The course was sched-
uled for the first fortnight
of November.
I was very resentful. I
wanted to spend the love-
ly ‘pink’ winter month of
November soaking mild
sun in the sky and enjoy
the mild winters in North
India in those days. And I
was just settling down in
my new job.
Thus I went to Nagpur
in a sullen mood. But eve-
rything changed once I
joined the program. Fac-
ulty consisted of two
highly affable and lovable
Canadian specialists in
Training of Trainers.
They taught in a unique
tandem style. And attend-
ing the course proved to be
a Game Changer for me.
In just one fortnight I
was pitch forked as train-
ing Specialist from just
being the Director.
My life underwent a
morphosis way beyond
my wildest imagination.
On 8th July Pradeep
the Excise expert and
Subramaniam the CA
and the training expert
along with DG Audit R K
Chakraborty boarded the
Air Canada flight to Mon-
treal with a halt at Heath-
row onwards to Ottawa
for a three week ‘Train-
ing cum Writing work-
shop’ with Canadian
trainers and auditors .
Those days FIFA World
Cup 1998 was reaching the
climax. DG Chakraborty,
a hardcore football enthu-
siast was keenly following
the tournament, expect-
ing Brazil to win.
At Heathrow, he was so
keen to check out the out-
come of Brazil vs Nether-
lands game.
I volunteered to speak
to a few who were in the
Airport Cafe. But most
shrugged their shoulders.
Finally one British
lady told me that Brazil
was ahead by two goals.
DG did a small zig right at
his table.
DG did watch the first
half of the final in my
room as I was cooking
rice and chicken for
lunch on that Sunday.
He ate his lunch in si-
lence as Zidane and
France simply over-
whelmed a star studded
Brazilian team. Zidane’s
head butt of Materazzi
went on to become more
famous than the Win it-
self. He walked off disap-
pointed without finishing
his grilled chicken and
beer.
But the next three
weeks proved to be hectic
and game changers for
the three of us. First
week we learnt the finer
tricks of training of
trainers which were easy
to pick.
But on Friday after-
noon the trainers, Girish
and Amir distributed a
lap top each for us to get
familiar with the ma-
chines during the week-
end.
But tried as hard as we
could, the laptops refused
to work. The three of us
were stumped but waited
for Monday guidance.
But come Monday
morning our writing out
the training material on
laptops began ‘in Ear-
nest’.
Using a laptop to write
in Word was a very pain-
ful idea. We started off by
making too many mis-
takes and faced challeng-
es. Not saving consist-
ently. And writing slowly.
But our trainers were not
bothered. They just
pressed on.
We groaned and cursed
but we learnt to use a
computer within three
days. We had no choice
either.
CIDA had decided that
the entire training mate-
rial for New Audit manu-
al will not be conducted
on any platforms but on
electronic platforms only.
Our task was simple
and straight forward. We
had to write a manual for
the Trainers and another
one for Trainees. And we
had to finish bulk of the
work in Canada itself. It
was a huge task.
But by the end of the
three weeks we had al-
ready completed three
chapters on the Laptop.
Properly saved on lap-
top and CD as well.
When we returned to
India we just needed to
write two more chapters.
And conduct five Train-
ing or Trainers programs
for Superintendents and
Inspectors of Central Ex-
cise drawn from across
India. It seemed to be a
difficult task at first but
we managed it beautiful-
ly.
Thus for me the three
week trip to Ottawa
proved to be a game
changer. In next to no
time I had become tech
savvy.
Those days words like
http//: www and Dot.
Dot. Dot. sounded like Al-
ien Martian language .
And I was sitting on
cusp of all India fame and
recognition for our new
training methodology.
Very soon I became the
face of Training in my
service. And here I was
cursing the two week Nag-
pur training program.
The ToT Nagpur course
turned out to be a Game
Changer. Suddenly I be-
gan to like the 15 days
Nagpur stint.
