அரசு டாக்டர்களுக்கான விருப்ப ஓய்வு முறை ரத்து

http://www.dailythanthi.com/article.asp?NewsID=459130&disdate=12/27/2008

பற்றாக்குறையை தவிர்ப்பதற்காக அதிரடி நடவடிக்கை: அரசு டாக்டர்களுக்கான விருப்ப ஓய்வு முறை ரத்து தமிழக அரசு உத்தரவு


சென்னை, டிச.27-

அரசு ஆஸ்பத்திரிகளில் டாக்டர்கள் பற்றாக்குறையை தவிர்ப்பதற்காக, விருப்ப ஓய்வு முறையை ரத்து செய்து தமிழக அரசு உத்தரவிட்டு உள்ளது.

காத்திருக்கும் அவலம்

தமிழகத்தில் உள்ள அரசு ஆஸ்பத்திரிகளில் அரசு டாக்டர்களாக பலர் பணியாற்றி வருகின்றனர். இருந்தாலும், நோயாளிகளின் எண்ணிக்கையை கணக்கிடும் போது அவர்களை கவனிப்பதற்கு போதிய டாக்டர்கள் இல்லை. அரசு டாக்டர் இல்லாத பட்சத்தில் நோயாளிகள் வெகுநேரம் காத்திருக்க வேண்டிய அவல நிலை உள்ளது.

அரசுப் பணியில் சேர்ந்துள்ள டாக்டர்கள், திடீரென்று விருப்ப ஓய்வு கடிதம் கொடுத்து விட்டு சென்று விடுகின்றனர். இதனால் அரசு ஆஸ்பத்திரிகளில் டாக்டர்கள் இல்லாமல் சிக்கல் ஏற்படுகிறது. அரசு டாக்டர் போய் விட்டால், அந்த இடத்தை நிரப்புவதற்கும் வெகுகாலம் விடுகிறது. எனவே நோயாளிகளின் திண்டாட்டம் தொடர்கதை ஆகிவிட்டது.

விருப்ப ஓய்வு ரத்து

இந்த நிலையையும், ஏற்கனவே அரசு ஆஸ்பத்திரிகளில் இருக்கும் டாக்டர்களின் பற்றாக்குறையை கணக்கில் கொண்டும் தற்போது தமிழக அரசு முக்கிய முடிவை எடுத்துள்ளது. அதன்படி, அரசு டாக்டர்களுக்கான விருப்ப ஓய்வுத் திட்டத்தை அரசு ரத்து செய்துள்ளது. இதற்கான உத்தரவு சமீபத்தில் பிறப்பிக்கப்பட்டது.

குறிப்பாக ஊரகப் பகுதியில் உள்ள டாக்டர்கள் விருப்ப ஓய்வு பெற முடியாது என்று அதில் கூறப்பட்டு உள்ளது. கடந்த 2006-ம் ஆண்டு நவம்பர் மாதத்தில் இருந்து முன்தேதியிட்டு இந்த உத்தரவு அமல்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. மேலும், அரசு டாக்டர்கள் அளிக்கும் ராஜினாமா கடிதத்தையும் ஏற்கக் கூடாது என்று அரசாணையில் கூறப்பட்டு உள்ளது. இதுதவிர, ஏற்கனவே நிர்ணயிக்கப்பட்டு உள்ள ஓய்வு வயது வரை (58 வயது வரை) அவர்கள் அரசு டாக்டராக பணியாற்ற வேண்டும் என்று அதில் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டு உள்ளது.

தடையற்ற சான்றிதழ்

தனியார் ஆஸ்பத்திரிகளில் அதிக சம்பளம், பெரிய பதவிகள் வரும் போது அரசு டாக்டர்கள் பலர் விருப்ப ஓய்வு கொடுத்து விட்டு, தனியார் ஆஸ்பத்திரிகளில் வேலைக்குச் சேருவது வழக்கம். இனிமேல் தனியார் ஆஸ்பத்திரிகளில் வேலைக்கு சேர்வதற்காக, விருப்ப ஓய்வு அல்லது ராஜினாமா கடிதம் கொடுத்து விட்டு வெளியே செல்ல முடியாது.

இந்த நிலையில் தமிழகத்தில் மருத்துவக் கல்லூரிகள் தொடங்குவதற்கு கடந்த 6 மாதங்களுக்குள் 5 தனியாருக்கு தடையற்ற சான்றிதழை தமிழக அரசு வழங்கி இருக்கிறது என்பது குறிப்பிடத் தக்கது.

Capacity Building Series (2008- 09) Training On Drinking Water Quality Management

Capacity Building Series (2008- 09) Training On Drinking Water Quality Management From:  16 Dec - 18 Dec 2008 At Institute of Social Sciences, 8, Nelson Mandela Marg, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi   INTRODUCTION Water, the elixir of life! Alas, today this phrase remains a misnomer. The entire ecosystem existence is based on water .It runs like blood in our body, but nowadays this blood is impure and short in supply. This is due to the fact of contamination of water with pollutants and consistent negligence on the part of governments to look after water supply with increase in population. People in several parts of India face an immense challenge to meet the basic needs of water. The crisis is not due to the lack of fresh water as such, but the availability of adequate quality water at the right place and time to meet basic needs. Every year more than five million human beings die from illness linked to unsafe drinking water and sanitation. Improved access to safe water supply and appropriate sanitation can also improve the economic status, mainly through saving large amounts of people's time and energy. It is a matter of concern that despite the progress made with water supply, the level of water-related sickness continues to be high. 70-80 % of illnesses are related to water contamination and poor sanitation. Main diseases associated with sanitation-diarrhea, ascariasis, dracunculiasis, hookworm, schistosomiasis, trachoma, typhoid, paratyphoid, bacillary dysentery, cholera, poliomyelitis, etc are on an increase. These diseases consume a lot of time and money for medical attention and medicines. In India, the economic burden due to morbidity and mortality from these diseases is staggering. The resources saved by improved water supply and sanitation can be used in many economically productive or educational activities. During the last few decades the national policies have shown increasing emphasis on both rural and urban water supply and sanitation. In terms of physical progress, the achievements have been remarkable. In rural context, however unfortunately these efforts have not been seen to be converted into health benefits and water borne diseases continue to be the dominant cause of morbidity and mortality in many pars of the country. The reasons are fairly very obvious, though water is being supplied; its potability is not being ensured. The lack of Water Quality Surveillance in these areas is acutely brought into focus during the episodes of waterborne epidemics. In realm of this domain to overcome these challenges, the need of the hour is monitoring of water quality, surveillance and management. By putting these things into practice the dream of supplying pure drinking water to each individual could be achieved. OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAINING    To help organizations understand the importance of Water Quality Monitoring in Water Quality Management To impart Technical Skills on various practical aspects of water quality monitoring and management To Promote Surveillance of Drinking Water PEDAGOGY The following techniques would be used to conduct the training program.

3rd Sustainability Summit: Asia 2008 "COMPETITIVENESS REDEFINED"

 3rd Sustainability Summit: Asia 2008
"COMPETITIVENESS REDEFINED"
11 - 12 December 2008: Hotel InterContinental The Grand, New Delhi


The Theme

The current financial crisis and economic slowdown has left businesses and governments scrambling for solutions to remain afloat, redraw plans, redo strategies, and redirect resources. Together with climate change, terrorism, and poverty-induced threats, the existing designs of institutions that act as guardians, drivers and protectors of human society are being constantly challenged.

Unless businesses and governments innovate to low-carbon and sustainable growth, they will cease to remain competitive. The new form of competitiveness is to derive profitability and efficiency from being sustainable to the core. This entails a new perception of competitiveness that can create the possibility for sustainable development and long-lasting competitiveness.

Difficult economic slowdown periods offer opportunities to improve resource efficiency, reduce fossil-fuel dependency, partner with key stakeholders, reduce costs and make more profits.

With this backdrop, the CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development and Development Alternatives embarked on an annual Sustainability Summit to seek to answer a fundamentally universal question: what should businesses and governments do to remain competitive and emerge stronger towards the end of the current economic and environmental crisis?

The focus areas under the theme this year are Innovation, Climate change, Corporate sustainability management in Indian companies, Corporate governance, Sustainable livelihoods and Green construction.

In the past two years the Sustainability Summit recognized the need for partnerships between civil society, public and private sectors to foster constructive and innovative solutions to issues pertaining to sustainable development of the region. Over 800 delegates from all India and across the world have participated in this path breaking get-together.

We look forward to meeting you at the Sustainability Summit and defining a new growth trajectory for Asia.

The Beginning 

The 1st Sustainability Summit was held on 19-20 December 2006 at New Delhi, India. The focus themes of the Summit were "Forestry: Enhancing Natural Capital" and "Mining: Unearthing Perpetual Value". Prominent leaders from business, civil society and government shared their perspectives interspersed with discussion and debates among participants. The Summit was supported by Ministry of Environment & Foresets, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India; State of Orissa was the Partner State and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) the partner Institution.

The 2^nd Sustainability Summit: Asia 2007, 'Partnerships for Action', held on 11-12 December 2007, was inaugurated by Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, Union Minister of External Affairs, Government of India. Australian Government actively supported the endeavour as Partner Country. The two-day summit recognised the urgent need for partnerships between civil society, public and private sectors to foster constructive and innovative solutions to issues pertaining to sustainable development of the region. Deliberations were conducted on the following sub-themes: 'Food Security: Linking Farmers to Market'; 'Partnerships in action: Best Practices', 'Sustainability in Construction: Foundation for Growth', 'Sustainable Financing: Fostering Inclusive Growth', and 'Responsible Mining: Sharing Value'. The Summit was supported by Ministry of Environment & Foresets and Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India.

Sustainability Summit 2007 concluded with the presentation ceremony of CII-ITC Sustainability Awards. The Awards were presented by Thiru A Raja, Union Minister of Commerce and Information Technology to the businesses for their exemplary performance in economic, social & environmental dimensions.

Focus 

Innovation for Sustainability

Economies today have two major challenges: the need to create a sustainable economy, and the need to be competitive in the global market. It is well known that our current society is not sustainable. Innovation and new technology provide a counterweight to business as usual. If living standards are to improve alongside population growth, it will be done at the cost of the planet. Innovations and new technology provide a way to improve social progress through smarter ways of conducting human and industrial activities. Across the range of sustainability issues, the rigidities of the situations we face are most striking. For instance, energy systems are pretty rigid because of the great investment involved in them. It is going to be difficult to change our mix of fossil fuels as energy sources in a reasonable time frame. We need to achieve a major increase in the efficiency of resource use, whilst also preventing unsustainable growth. However, at the same time we must ensure that businesses are able to compete globally, and that they are able to create and retain jobs. These two challenges are often seen as in contradiction to each other, but they need not be.

Towards a low-carbon economy

Broad consensus is now emerging that the world needs to address the dual challenges of increasing energy supply and services that are critical for economic growth for all developing countries, and moderating and managing climate change. It is not only vital to address climate change as risk to development, but also leverage it as an opportunity to accelerate economic transformation and take advantage of new technologies. Moving toward a low-carbon economy would mean developing a comprehensive approach to climate change extending beyond clean energy and addressing sectors such as transport, agriculture, forests and urban development; a stepped-up programme in policy research and knowledge sharing; an enhanced role in the acceleration of new technology; and an increased engagement in climate risk management.

Strengthening of Sustainable Business Strategies:
Corporate Sustainability Management in Indian Companies

Increasing heterogeneous environment including globalization, changing regulations, and unprecedented innovation coupled with changing stakeholder expectations brings risks and opportunities to the Indian businesses. To seek global competitiveness, Indian industry is adopting approaches to optimise economic, natural and social capital by being accountable to the regulatory requirements and the stakeholder expectations. Seeing what is at stake, CII pioneered the concept and tools of Corporate Sustainability Management. The German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is supporting CII to strengthen and upscale the concept and tools through a four year project in India. This session will focus on bringing together panelists from the Indian government, various leading Indian industry, InWent, the capacity building institution of Germany to discuss the applicability and evolution of new strategies and tools which will enable the Indian businesses to pursue sustainability goals and respond to challenges and opportunities for becoming sustainable organizations.

Corporate Governance & Competitiveness in Transition

To date, most of the debate on corporate governance has centered on legislative policy, to deter fraudulent activities and transparency policy which misleads executives to treat the symptoms and not the cause. Corporate Governance needs to evolve into a system of structuring, operating and controlling a company with a view to achieve long term strategic goals to satisfy shareholders, creditors, employees, customers and suppliers, and complying with the legal and regulatory requirements, apart from meeting environmental and local community needs.

This session is designed to understand emerging needs in the corporate world for being contributors to poverty reduction and accelerating sustainable development while still making profits. In the present scenario and the effects of current rising temperatures, rising prices and a shrinking resource base which could lead to food shortages, high civil unrest, destabilised government structures and inequitable markets, it is important for companies to look at the aggregation of the triple bottom line and convergence towards Social Business with equitable, measurable and profitable economic and social returns.

Co-creating Value for Base of the Pyramid

Tapping into the base of the economic pyramid (BOP) is a key determinant of sustainable competitiveness of companies in India. Not only is the BOP market the largest in India but amongst the largest in the world. An estimated market of 500 million people, it compares with the entire population of the EU and approximately 50 per cent that of Africa. Taking up the challenge of serving this market, many companies failed and few succeeded. Companies scaling-down products to serve the BOP are doomed to fail in the long run. Those that succeed get there by co-creating products and solutions with the users to add value to their life. Success at the BOP calls for innovation in products & solutions offering, delivery, usage, and customer support. Engaging with users to innovate in these areas helps companies establish strong relation and create brand value. This session will explore how some thought-and-action leaders are leveraging the dynamics of the single-biggest market in the world and redefining competitiveness.

Building a Green Future

There is enhanced awareness and growing acceptance of the need for sustainable practices in the construction sector. Pioneers in the field have however, found that it is not easy to promote green building methods. Much can be done to influence key stakeholders towards making the habitat sector more environmentally sound and socially relevant. Moreover, dialogue to help create a more favourable policy environment for low–carbon construction will contribute to enhanced benefits for consumers and greater competitiveness for business on a national and global scale. This session aims to create a platform for sharing solutions to deal with current and anticipated growth levels and for mainstreaming green construction into infrastructure developments in Asia.
