This episode is twenty years old. In 1987, I was working as Executive Engineer, Electricity Board of Chaumu Block of Jaipur district. That year a laborer was on duty at 33/11 KV sub-station Rampura. In the evening While changing the fuse of the 11 KV line, he got hit by the current and died. The people of the village at his cremation Along with the engineers, workers and employees of the Electricity Board were present in large numbers.

During the rest time of the cremation, the sarpanch of that village Rampura Dabdi told us that in the family of the deceased, his wife or daughter still used to live on the income of the deceased with his mother and widowed sister. A few months back, thieves broke into the house of the deceased employee and stole his jewelry and a small amount of deposited money. This family does not have any land property and is living in a rented house in the village. In this situation, if the department did not take care of him, this widowed woman will be able to take care of herself and her dependent family only by begging on the road. When we were returning to our place of residence after the cremation, everyone expressed their desire that this widow woman should be completely helped.

For this, first a plot was bought through the sarpanch of the village near the village’s square, for which all the engineers, Employees and labors got some amount deducted from their salary and then the same was used to get the house constructed, all the workers would do service here on every Sunday in turn and finally they provided room, kitchen, bathroom, boundary and electricity and water connection. After that the widow woman was handed over the lease of the house by holding a public function. At that time about Rs.90,000/- was given for electrical accident compensation and after that the then President Rajasthan State Electricity Board, Jaipur provided the job of class IV employee to that widow. Now this widow is living with her family in the same village Rampura Dabri with the former financial support. In the present situation, that widow has married her two daughters and sent them to their respective in-laws and is providing higher education to the only son in IIT, Delhi and is serving in the Electricity Board, Jaipur. 

This topic will be a guide for those government officers/industrialists who wish to help their subordinate employees in their sad/difficult situation.

In Jodhpur city, Mr. Bhagwan Singh Parihar established “Lavkush Griha Chopasni Housing Board” twenty years ago, where newborn babies are accepted, which their mothers used to give birth illegally and throw them in the garbage or on the road and animals eat them. 

The responsibility of taking care of the same children who used to get eaten by these animals was accepted by the prominent industrialist Mr. Parihar. 

He made a cradle at the main entrance of that Lavkush Griha, in which whenever such immoral children are put, then the bell will automatically ring in the building. And the maids there come and take them inside and then begins the new life of that thrown child. In these twenty years, many children and girls are getting their education and initiation and the marriages of young girls in the upper class are also done by Shri Parihar. 

Now this institution has also established a senior citizen house named “Aastha” in Jodhpur, where destitute, poor and bad parents live, whose children are unable to take care of them or despise them. Every member of the family of Shri Bhagwan Singh ji in the running of both the institutions. The member has a significant contribution in this work of service.

I have an acquaintance and a close family whose Son didn’t have any child even after many years of marriage.

He adopted an infant as his grandson from the above Lavkush house. His son works in a good company in Mumbai. He was brought up in Mumbai and the system of education initiation continued according to age. Now that child has become a grown up of 15 years. One day he was going with his father in a car, when the car crashed and his father suffered serious injuries. He courageously called his close relative on mobile and immediately took him to a nearby hospital and started treatment. Everything went well.

He is also very devoted to his grandparents. Keeps asking his Papa to call Grandparents to Mumbai. Dad says that Grandparents will not come back from Jodhpur to Mumbai so soon, so he insists on his father to book their and Send it to them, grandparents will definitely come for me and the same thing would happen. 

This episode has changed the notion that children born in their own womb are loyal to their parents, and not as devoted or loyal when adopted. Therefore, the couple who has adopted a son / daughter. Society friends should not discourage them and pave the way for the children to lead a simple and natural life.

बोध प्रसंग – 8

When Mahatma Gandhi Hospital was started in Jodhpur, at that time Dr. E. W. Howard was the Principal Medical Officer. Dr. Howard was always aware of the arrangement of the hospital. Even if he had gone out somewhere and returned home in the evening, visiting the hospital had become a part of his daily routine. At such a time, during the inspection, without informing the doctors or nursing staff in advance, they would have made a surprise visit. Inquiring about the well being of the patients in the hospital and getting information about the arrangement of the hospital. Standing on one side of the patient, encourage the patient to call the nurse or tell the doctor about the problem. and then see how the doctor or nurse treats the patient. He attends and takes care of her and treats her. At that time there was discipline like the whole army in the hospital.

Once Dr. Hayward came to the hospital without shaving, the sub-compounder said that today you have broken the discipline of the hospital. Dr. Hayward did not get distracted by his remark and at the same time wrote an order on a paper that Dr. Hayward is fined Rs 10 today and that fine should be deducted from his salary and that order was handed over to the compounder tomorrow at my office. arrived in

Fifty years ago when I did M.B.M. Enrolled in Engineering College Jodhpur. At that time Shri V.G. Garde was the principal. They were very punctual. He would reach the college at exactly 7.4.0 in the morning and Shri Dulichand Ji Jangid Instructor would match the time with his clock to the alarm clock near him and correct the time of the clocks hanging in all the rooms of the college. He never used to mess with the students. Whenever there was a disturbance in the class, he would have told the head of the department.

His son Adi Gaya studied in the same college. The principal’s residence was about 2.5-3 kms from the college. In the morning the principal would come to the college from home alone by car, then in the afternoon, the Jangid Brahmins

Coming to residence and coming back to college by car. After 5 o’clock in the evening, the principal would return home by car. In the same way, Garde Saheb’s boy would come to college from home by bicycle in the morning. In the afternoon he used to go home on his bicycle from college for lunch and in the same way after 5 in the evening his son would go home by cycle. We have never seen him going to his father’s office in college, nor have we ever seen him sitting in the principal’s car. One day his son was returning home by cycle in the evening and when the principal’s car came out from behind, the driver stopped the car. When the principal asked, the driver told that the chain of Avinash Babu’s cycle was broken. The principal said – you drive the car, it will come automatically with a cycle.

The above two incidents force us to think whether the same discipline can be brought again in hospitals, engineering colleges and other public service institutions?

बोध प्रसंग

While in government/semi-government service, if you have a good relationship with other people, then it can prove to be very useful in a crisis situation. This incident happened to me when I was working in Sojat City (District Pali) during Rajasthan Vidyut Mandal service.

One day a junior engineer working under me came to my office and started crying loudly. His crying was such that someone had beaten him up. I tried to console him and asked him to explain the situation. He said that a retired army major lives in my area and my staff told me that the iron girder of the electric board is being used on his berth. The Major suspects that I had sent the staff to his well to get the above items checked. He got very angry and told the staff that I have a service revolver and will shoot him before 7 pm tomorrow. The Junior Engineer further said, I have come to you to save my life. I have small children and the above news has created a ruckus in my family. Somehow save me today from Major.

I asked the Junior Engineer that the Major should be prevented from taking such untoward action. You be sure, I will solve this problem. I immediately contacted the retired Brigadier Sahib living in the same area and told about the incident with the junior engineer. He had a close relationship with me. So he immediately took out his car and went to the Major’s village along with other fellow medical officers and he explained with the strong language of the army and took a promise that he would not take any action with the junior engineer. In this way the life of the junior engineer was saved by the promptness of Brigadier Sahab. My employees told that once with the service revolvers of above Major, The MLA’s father was also murdered a few years ago and Major Sahib was not even caught by the law.

The goods of the Electricity Board had also come back from the well due to Brigadier Sahib’s support. Whenever we meet, it becomes vivid even today with the above incident.
