VOICES

EDITORIAL

everal topics vied for attention in

this editorial from Prime Ministers
Independence Day address, so
called Love-Jihad, J & K floods and
closer home impending state assembly
elections in Maharashtra with break up
between two major alliances over seat
sharing. It is referendum in far away
Scotland, however, that gets precedence
over domestic issues since a YES vote
would have had grave consequences for
India. As Britains more than 300-year-old
union with Scotland survived the historical
referendum, Britain was not alone to
heave a sigh of relief. Anxious Canada,
Spain, Russia and India had watched
the outcome of vote with bated breath.
Several existing insurgencies in India
would have made similar demands with
the separatists in J & K, North East and
may be renewed calls for Khalistan getting
a fresh lease of life. Many intellectuals and
liberals champion such demands, in the
name of democratic rights of the people,
without a care for the adverse effects on
the nation state.
It is best to recall George Washingtons
Farewell Address giving his idea of union:
It is of infinite moment that you should
properly estimate the immense value
of your national union to your collective
and individual happiness; that you should
cherish a cordial, habitual and immovable
attachment to it; accustoming yourselves
to think and speak of it as of the palladium
of your political safety and prosperity.
Washington, anticipating dissensions,
advised vigilance against the first
dawning of every attempt to alienate any
portion of our country from rest of or to
enfeeble the sacred ties which now link
together the various parts.
The leaders elected to protect and
uphold the constitution and unity of
the nation can only emulate Abraham
Lincoln to rise up and defend the union,
I consider the central idea pervading this
struggle (fighting the confederates) is the
necessity that is upon us, of proving that
popular government is not absurdity. We
must settle this now, whether in a free
government the minority have the right
to break up the government whenever
they choose. If we fail it will go far to
www.pcgt.org

prove incapability of the people to govern

themselves.
The government in turn has a moral
obligation, political and constitutional
responsibility
towards
genuine
reconciliation. It needs to give an equal
share of development and welfare to
all her people living in different parts of
the country. More important it should
be seen to be equal and just. It will help
build a reservoir of goodwill so that there
is no occasion to demand separation. It
is absolutely essential, therefore, that the
institutions established to ensure check
and balances perform with independence
and alacrity. The erosion in the institutions
by successive rulers in pursuing narrow
selfish ends has weakened all arms of
good governance, the legislature, the
judiciary or the CBI in current context.
I cannot close without referring to the
debate around Supreme Court asking
Prashant Bhushan to provide it in a sealed
cover the name of the whistle-blower
who gave him the list of several accused
visiting the residence of Director CBI.
There will be supporters on both sides
of the argument without taking away the
merit of speaking against wrong doing.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the
truth is a revolutionary act. .George
Orwell

Adieu Shivani

y experience at
PCGT

The first day

at PCGT, the interview
day, the moment we started the meeting
my nervousness went from 100 to zero.
The moment I entered, the warm smile of
Rashna Maam was so welcoming and
reassuring, which indeed brought all the
comfort required then.
As the meeting started the Trustees went
on with their discussions which really
caught my interest and got me thinking
that this was a simple yet challenging
platform, a medium to execute the very
ideals I knew only existed on paper or in
great speeches.
This is where my PCGT journey began,
on 17th July, 2013 after the Trustees gave
me a green signal.
My experience since then has been a
roller coaster ride surely ending into a
smooth highway.
Under guidance of Dr. Magotra, who has
been such a great support, I was able to
streamline Youth for Governance Project
and was able to enhance it by the support
and suggestions of all my Trustees and
PCGT staff.
Working on Citizen Policing Program
(CPP) has helped me gain a great deal
of knowledge on the working of Mumbai
Police affairs and how youth can participate
in this. Reaching out with RTI through
YCP to slums has brought to my notice
the reality of slum dwellers and apathy
of administration and understanding
how PCGTs intervention can bring the
necessary and much required change in
the lives of the slum dwellers.
I saw so many students influenced
after the workshops (PCGT dialogues)
conducted on Ethics in Business and
Education to lead a corruption free life.
YFG is a great mode to involve students
in promoting good governance and help
build a corruption free society.

From learning what RTI stands for to

actually going to colleges and lecturing
on RTI and then filing RTI applications
on behalf of people is something still
unbelievable to me, thanks to Mr. Raos
expertise, whose hard work has taught
me so much.
The main YFG event held on 27th
January, 2014, was a great experience
for me which gave a boost to my abilities
and meeting Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was
the greatest of the opportunities received
so far by working in PCGT.
I have learnt so much here and the
experience I have gained here is
something I would treasure all my life.
PCGT is my foundation which has
strengthened and improvised my skills
and abilities with complete flexibility.
I want to thank Mr. Ribeiro for he inspires
me to be so active always for the ideals
PCGT stands for, Mr. Dara Gandhy, for
I have learnt and seen how he manages
all matters with so much of ease and
patience, Mr. Varma for his enthusiasm
on reaching out to students to train them
with RTI, its because of him taking RTI
lectures was effortless. And Dr. Anand
whose care and concern kept me moving
on and all my Trustees for their remarkably
immeasurable support especially for
building up the YFG projects. Their
rectification in each YFG meeting has
brought out the best in the projects and in
me, thats for sure.
Even though I wasnt physically fit enough
to execute all YFG projects, PCGT has
given me my own space and allowed me
to grow and gain in a manner no other
organization would do.

ublic Concern for Governance

Trust (PCGT), Pune organized
the Late Shri B. G. Deshmukh
Memorial Lecture on 20th of August,
2014 jointly with Symbiosis Law
School, Pune.
This Annual Public Lecture Series has
been instituted in the honor of Late
Shri B. G. Deshmukh, IAS, Former
Cabinet
Secretary,
Government
of India and Principal Secretary to
the Prime Minister and the Founder
Chairman of Public Concern for
Governance Trust (PCGT). The basic
objective behind the launch of this
Annual Public Lecture Series is to
explore the challenges in governance
in India.
Mr. S. C. Nagpal, Chairman PCGT
introduced the theme of the Memorial
Lecture 2014, Public Participation
to Nab the Corrupt. Mr. Ujjwal
Choudhary IRS, Director General of
Income Tax (Investigations), Patna
and the Keynote speaker spoke on
corruption by reiterating its rampant
presence in the country and said that

corruption has allowed less deserving

people to come forward. He added
that it distorts public policy, flouts the
system and ruins and destroys the
poor because they are the collateral
damage. The people have a clear
notion as to what triggers corruption
but sometimes they confuse the
cause with the symptoms. He
mentioned that at a very basic level,
people need to be educated about the
rules and regulations. He concluded
by saying that at the end of the day,
it is in our hands and we should
endeavour to spread awareness in
our own personal capacities.
At the end of the enlightening address,
Padma Bhushan Dr. S. B. Mujumdar
felicitated Mr. Ujjwal Choudhary,
followed by the Presidential Address
by him. In this address he spoke
about the tools to reduce corruption.
This was followed by an interesting Q
& A session conducted by Mr. Satish
Khot, Member, Advisory Council,
Pune Chapter, PCGT.

Thanks to Suruchi my colleague and

Rashna Maam for their constant back up
every time I was sick.
I can say one thing for sure that Im leaving
PCGT as a whole new person, who is
more confident, bold and now prepared
for further challenges. I will continue to
now volunteer for PCGT.
PCGT has been in the true sense a
blessing by GOD in my life.
Thank you ALL

YOUTH FOR GOVERNANCE PCGT DIALOGUES

Ethics & Governance In
Business

CGT organized its first Dialogue

Workshop on Ethics &
Governance in Business, on 1st
August, 2014, under the banner of Youth
For Governance, which turned out to be a
great success.

Mr. Khushrokhan giving his

presentation
128 students from different colleges
across the city of Mumbai participated in
the workshop. The brilliant panel for the
students to interact with comprised of
some of the most eminent names.
Mr. Ashok Barat, MD, Forbes &
Company, formerly worked with
Hindustan
Lever
Ltd.,
Pepsi,
Electrolux, Telstra & Heinz; Mr. Homi
Khusrokhan,
President,
Bombay
Natural History Society & former MD,
Glaxo, Tata Tea & Tata Chemicals and
our own Trustee Mr. Prasad Chandran,
Former Chairman & Managing Director
of BASF and now Chairman, Social
Enterprise for Ethics, Governance and
Organization Strategies.

Mr. Ashok Barat spoke on how one can

plan a good career in the corporate sector
and be successful ethically & morally.
Mr. Prasad Chandran addressed the
Youth on how they can battle corruption
in their individual capacity and that they
should begin at their college level itself.
This was followed by an interactive
session where the students had a lot of
doubts on how they could really sustain
themselves ethically and morally when
the Business Heads themselves may be
corrupt and influential as well. How, then,
can one stand for values against such a
powerful influence, risking a great deal in
the field.
The Panelists unanimously believed that
it is better for a person to quit such a
company than compromise with unethical
practices. They warned the students to
research on the company before they
join it. They also suggested that since the
companies are influential and powerful,
one must not stand alone against such
entities but take help from co-workers or
join organizations or NGOs which battle
corruption and promote good governance
and support their cause.
The session ended well with students
requesting PCGT to conduct more of such
workshops to create awareness amongst
students to battle corruption in their own
capacity.

Ethics & Governance In

Education

About 100 college students from across

Mumbai participated in this workshop.
The Panelists were: Mr. ABHAY PETHE,
Director, Department of Economics,
Mumbai University, Dr. (Sr.) ANANDA
AMRITMAHAL, Principal, Sophia College
and Dr. VIBHUTI PATEL, Director, PG
Studies & Research, SNDT University.
Dr. Vibhuti Patel started the session with
a presentation on Gender perspectives
to the Issues and Challenges in Higher
Education wherein she discussed the
challenges faced by women in the field of
education and how one can face theses
and be successful.
Sr. Ananda Amritmahal spoke on how it
should be our responsibility to be true to
ourselves and maintain a true conscience
thus being good students and teachers
and contribute to ethics.
Mr. Abhay Pethe gave an economical
perspective to the current education
system in our country and elaborated
on improvisations in fast changing
perspectives on education.
All the panelists stressed on the need for
skill based educational institutions than to
just burden the students with the regular
academics which at the degree level may
not even interest the student.
The interactive session went off really
well and many students got their doubts
cleared right from faulty examinations to
future for home science students.
We got a good response from the students
and they were further interested for more
of such workshops.

The panelists spoke on different aspects

of Ethics and Governance in Business
and encouraged the students to be alert
citizens and not fall for corrupt practices
in this field.
Mr. Khusrokhan explained with a
presentation on the importance of integral
ethics and how the top-most to the
grassroots of a company have to be a part
of good governance.

RTI WORKSHOPS
Report on RTI Workshop
An RTI workshop was held in the PCGT
office on 4th September, 2014, under the
Youth As Catalyst Programme. On 5th
September the volunteers were taken
for a slum visit at Govandi in Mumbai
for practical experience in helping the
residents to solve their problems by filing
RTI.
After reaching the location, i.e. Geeta
Vikas Mandal, the students were informed
about the various problems faced by the
inhabitants :
l Drug addiction
l Hospital waste dumped behind school
making it a big dumping ground
l Water problems
l Water mafia
l Light mafia
l Lack of proper education facilities
l Illegal construction of houses
l Police patrolling not done
l Police not strict
l Unhealthy environment

We consulted the Mohalla Committee

members Mr. Ashfaq, Mr. Yunus and
Mr. Ansari. They told us about the
above mentioned problems in their area.
According to them, the area is underdeveloped and still needs proper rules and
regulations with proper administration to
eradicate these problems from their place.
Even after corrective action is taken, there
is no fear of the law in the people. The
police dept. is also very liberal.

to constant fights among people which

should be controlled.

Drug addiction is rampant among adults

and even in children of 12-15 years.
Different methods used by them to get
intoxicated are applying vicks vaporub
on bread and having it, drinking cough
syrups, thinners and several inhalers.

Police are not strict. As they are liberal, it

gives open opportunities to the criminals
in continuing with the offences.

Garbage is also dumped just behind the

school, which could be a health hazard to
the children.
There are water and light mafias who
cause problems in supply of water and
electricity facilities to people. It leads

People are less educated. They are

unaware of their rights and certain
problems going around their society and
dont know how to raise their voice against
the wrong going around in their locality.
Police patrolling is not done, which leads
to robbery, murder and sometimes rape
also.

Conclusion:- Govandi is a place where

people are facing a lot of problems. It
requires strict administration so that the
people have a fear of the police. Certain
problems can be controlled by education
campaigns organized for the people.
People need to be aware of their rights.
