There are several cooperators in the country who are not happy with NCCT Secretary Mohan Mishra but Dehradun ICM Chairman Pramod Kumar Singh simply hates the man. And the reason for this is not far to seek.
Dehradun ICM is doing fine and is also earning money by offering cooperative training to different co-operative bodies of the state under the leadership of Pramod Singh. By a new circular the earnings are being divided between ICM and NCCT.
”When we earn by putting in hard labour why should we share the fruits with the NCCT, asked an angry Singh to this correspondent. This man Mohan Mishra sitting at the NCCT headquarters issues us letters derogatory to the dignity of cooperators”, he complains.
In one of the letters that he wrote to all the ICM Chairmen, he said they would not use official vehicle or ICM Chamber for political purpose. He does not know about me; should I need to use a dilapidated car of the NCCT for my movement, retorted Singh who is also on the Board of IFFCO.
Besides, Pramod said the ICM operates from the land of PCU ( Pradeshik Cooperative Union), of which he himself is the chairman. Being dictated by a middling official from Delhi is indeed not acceptable, he added.
Talking to Indian Cooperative Pramod also narrated an incident from Bhopal ICMs’ meeting in which he along with NCUI President Chandra Pal Singh, among others, had participated. “I was told later that once we had left, NCCT Secretary openly told the NCCT officials not to give much importance to netas,” Singh shared.
It is with the mutual respect and coordination between leaders and officials that a show is run. But if you rundown leaders and have no respect for them, how can things move, he asked.
Dr Mishra has once again refused to comment. Perhaps his official position does not allow him to speak openly and give his side of the story.
IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE TO KNOW THAT ONE HON. MEMBER OF NCUI AND HON. CHAIRMAN OF A PARTICULAR ICM HAS MADE A PERSONAL ISSUE OUT OF COMMON ISSUE. WHAT EVER CIRCULARS ARE ISSUED BY NCCT TO ITS TRAINING UNITS ARE NORMALLY OF GENERAL NATURE AND DOESN’T BEFITS ALL RICMs/ICMs. MORE OVER OFFICIAL CIRCULARS ARE BASED ON GOVT. OF INDIA GUIDELINES. HENCE SECRETARY OF NCCT CAN NOT BE FAULTED FOR SENDING SUCH CIRCULARS OF COMMON NATURE TO ALL UNITS. MOREOVER NOT ALL CHAIRMEN
COULD BE FAULTED FOR SUCH PETTY THINGS LIKE USE OF ICM VEHICLES OR CONVERTING RICMs/ICMs IN TO A PERSONAL FIEFDOMS. EVEN THOUGH HON. ICM CHAIRMAN SHOULD NOT CONVERT SUCH GENERAL TYPE OF THINGS INTO A PERSONAL PRESTIGE ISSUE. THEN THERE ARE SOME DIRECTORS OF RICMs/ICMs WHO WANTED SOME UNDUE FAVOURS FROM NCCT FOR THEIR PERSONAL BENEFITS, AND KEEPING THEIR DUBIOUS PAST IN VIEW SECRETARY NCCT IS NOT OBLIGING THEM AND THEY HAVE SPREAD A CANARD ABOUT SHRI MISHRA THAT HE HAD USED SOME HARD WORDS AGAINST ICMS’ CHAIRMEN DURING LAST DIRECTORS MEETING. THAT IS TOTALLY BASE LESS AND THERE IS NOT AN IOTA OF TRUTH IN THAT. HON. NCUI CHAIRMAN SHOULD TAKE THIS FACT INTO VIEW BEFORE TAKING ANY ACTION AGAINST THE SECRETARY. IT WILL BE NATURAL JUSTICE TO NOT ONLY SECRETARY BUT ALL THE NCCT FRATERNITY BEFORE IF A FAIR PROBE IS DONE IN TO SAID ALLEGATIONS AGAINST SH. MISHRA.
