Since the start of the first Blog or discussion on the Indian environment Network, perhaps 90% of the blogs or discussion has highlighted the issue of malfunctioning or doubtful decisions or alike issues which ultimately indicates the level of corruption in the system of our Nation engaged in Environmental field. I can surely state that almost 99% of professional in the field have faced such issues either due to corrupted system or egoistic nature of official/authorities. Even after facing serious issues in the profession due to corruption or ego of officials/authorities, all of us keep mum on the matter. Today when Annaji a 72 yrs aged person is leading our Nation to fight against corruption in a way –“Anhishak Andolan & Ansan”, which is the historical path and also permitted by our constitution, we must come forward to support. It is not only to come out of office & do something like a mass of people is doing. One if not go out leaving home or office can also support his movement. As he said before few Hours, they started the movement long back with use of RTI provisions. By doing so they have been able to get information about the level of corruption & corrupted persons/offices. Now, to support him, I thing we as environment professional shall also start walking on the path shown by Annaji. Everyone knows even after the Jan Lokpal Bill (not Lokpal Bill), corruption can not leave our Nation which is the heaven for Corrupted Persons/Officials/Authorities/System. But if everyone getting inside of the govt. systems of our nation starts to use RTI directly or through other person coming in front for the betterment of the concern systems, real outcome of Jan Lokpal Bill, RTI & movement for Corruption free India can be realized. So we need to get united to start such support to make our nation corruption free. As many have said, revolution starts from one’s own home, we as environmental professional shall starts with movement for wiping off corruption from various departments of govt operating for environmental issues like State /Central Pollution Control Boards, State Dept. of Environment & Forest and lastly but not least and most essentially the Ministry of environment & Forest. These authorities are making huge revenue aside of their remuneration. No one is asking about their power, authorities, way & quality of work, the system & flow of decision making, etc.
In my first blog I wrote abot NABET then about the quality & system faults of Proceeding for EC & NABET Accreditation etc. All together indicates a great level of corruption, misuse of power or decision out of power & authority. So all these issue as well as routine issues like Environmental Monitoring & Inspection by Pollution Control Boards, Auditing by various Authorities etc. need to be focused while talking about level of corruption. I am assuming that corruption has made everything possible for thousands of cases related with environmental issues, which has made revenue of about few crores. Even I have noticed that numbers of professional are working for such corrupted system either for their own profit or unwillingly to sustain their business.
So without writing much on these issues, I would like to Appeal those professional who are working with corrupted system or any part of corrupted system and want to be free from this SEVERE MOST –EXTREMELY TOXIC POLLUTANT can come forward and start supporting the movement of Annaji for “Corruption free INDIA”. All you need to do is start doing RTI and get information of the system operation where you feel that corruption has influenced the system. If you don’t wish to come in front you can send me the issues with some strong points/evidence/base materials. Recently I have contacted few professionals & industries as well as some corporate members to cite few issues. Primarily I could cite number of issue in EC, EIA Quality, NABET Accreditation & related matters including legitimacy of the Compulsory Requirement of NABET, Issuance of NOC and CC&A especially related with the emission & disposal standards given to industries, outcomes of Monitoring by Pollution control boards, EC without proper EIA Appraisal etc.
In these matters I am planning a systematic action plan to start with RTI and will soon coming in front of the authorities. So if you have any information related with these issues or any other issues which can be useful to fight against Corrupted Environmental System, Please get in touch. Just leave your Contact details (name, e-mail & Contact No.) in Message or Comment.
