क्या आप जानना चाहते हैं कि भारत के प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय की मेरे उस अनुरोध पर क्या प्रतिक्रिया रही जिसमें मैंने उनसे पशुपालन और पशुरोग रोकथाम कार्यक्रम में चल रहे उस घोटाले के बाबत मिलने की प्रार्थना की थी जिससे पशुपालकों को हरवर्ष ५०००० करोड़ से ज्यादा की सीधी हानि होती है और इस कार्यक्रम पर केंद्रीय सरकार हर वर्ष २५०० करोड़ से ज्यादा और इतना ही या इससे ज्यादा राज्य सरकारें खर्च करती हैं या कहो पानी में बहाती हैं? तब इस पत्र को अंत तक पढ़ें.

Do you want to know how PMO India Responded to my letter about the scam leading to annual direct loss of >Rs. 500 Billions to livestock sector and equally good amount of Taxpayers spend to Control Livestock diseases i.e., >Rs. 25 billion annually by Indian Central Government and even more by the state Governments? If yes, then read till end.

To,

The Prime Minister of India

New Delhi- 001

Sub- Request for time to meet to beat the corruption in the Indian Council of Agricultural Research ICAR, please.

Respected Honourable Sir,

I requested about five months ago to the DG, ICAR and more than two weeks ago to President ICAR, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar, Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, New Delhi to kindly spare some of his precious time to discuss and beat the ongoing corruption in the council with respect to-

1.    Quality assurance of the vaccines (Under leadership of Director ICAR-IVRI-Izatnagar, Dr. RK Singh) and passing of substandard vaccines without testing leading frequent disease outbreaks even after vaccination and to failure of National Disease control programs like FMDCP, Brucellosis CP, PPR-CP etc.

2.    Closing the public sector vaccine production one by one to create environment of favour to private sector.

3.    Becoming of ICAR Institutes as centres of disease dissemination instead of assuring healthy livestock to the country.

4.    Protections of corrupts and promotion of corruption. Those involved in corruption in the council are promoted and protected till their graceful retirement.

5.    Anti-cow protection acts of ICAR Institutes. Non-productive, disabled and diseased cows have routinely been auctioned from ICAR Institutes to butchers ((Under leadership of Director ICAR-IVRI-Izatnagar, Dr. RK Singh)). To hide the disease, ICAR institutes are not monitoring their farms for infectious and contagious diseases like Brucellosis and Tuberculosis.

However, even after five months I wrote to DG-ICAR and more than two weeks ago to the Minister, I have not been given time to put the facts and strategy to beat the corruption in the Council. It might be probably either due to involvement of the responsible person in the corruption themselve or due to interest in promoting the corruption or due to intention to protect corrupt friends in the system or due to some other more important work and business. Sir, it is corruption only which have made to failure of most of the disease control program launched by the ministry in past, but due to one or other reasons corrupts involved have been continuously been protect till they get graciously retired and given laurels even after retirement. Therefore, Sir, I request you to kindly spare a little of your valuable time it will be very kind of you if you can invite the experts to the requested meeting so that my point of view can be assessed properly and unbiased and corruption in the council can be handled properly to benefit the farmers so that the Goal of doubling farmers income can be visualized in time, please.

Thanking you in the anticipation that I may be allotted some time for the cause of the Nation and Farmers of India.

Sincerely yours

To,

The President Indian Council of Agricultural Research

Honourable Minister of Agriculture Cooperation and Farmers Welfare, Krishi Bhavan, New  Delhi- 001

 Ref: My request F. No. EP/1P/2019 dated 02-02-2019 to The DG, ICAR, Krishi Bhavan New Delhi

Sub: Request for time to meet to beat the corruption in the Council, please.

Respected Sir,

Honourable Sir,

I requested about five months ago to the DG, ICAR, New Delhi to kindly spare some of his precious time to discuss and beat the ongoing corruption in the council with respect to:

1.    Quality assurance of the vaccines (Under leadership of Director ICAR-IVRI-Izatnagar, Dr. RK Singh): There is no measurable and appreciable reduction in infectious and contagious diseases of livestock despite spending billions of rupees on vaccination and ongoing disease control programs year after year. Corruption in vaccine quality assurance is now the prominent the character of the responsible Institute. The responsible person (Director IVRI) has continuously been protected and supported to keep it going.

2.    Closing the public sector vaccine production one by one: There is a big dilemma why GMP is not installed in Indian Veterinary Research Institute despite the GMP block constructed after spending Krores of rupees of exchequer more than a decade ago and allocation of  Rs. 36 Krores about five years ago for furnishing and making the GMP block functional. It reduces competition in the market making the vaccine production non-competitive monopoly of some vaccine producers. The rampant FMD outbreaks after 2012 appear to be the outcome. The Institute produced and sold biologicals without any licence to do so for decades together without any proper quality control and ted testing.

3.    Becoming of ICAR Institutes as centres of disease dissemination (Again under leadership of Director ICAR-IVRI-Izatnagar, Dr. RK Singh) instead of assuring healthy livestock to the country. Diseases are continuously been disseminated through the sale of diseased animals, improper bio-waste (often loaded with dangerous laboratory/ challenge strains of disease-causing pathogens) disposal, distribution of substandard diagnostics and passing of substandard vaccines etc. The premiere Institutes of Animal Sciences are home of all kinds of diseases, why do we can’t put the example of disease-free herds? If we can’t materialize disease control programs at our own farms why we advocate those for poor farmers of India, to benefit whom?

4.    Protections of corrupts and promotion of corruption: There is no hidden truth that those involved in corruption (major) in the council are often promoted and given extra care to protect them and complaints of corruption against those are kept in abeyance till the corrupts get graceful retirement. Disease outbreaks occurring year after year in many of the Institute especially for those diseases preventable with vaccination, but no action is ever taken against the vaccine suppliers, or vaccinators or the management, is it not to promote corruption or protect traitors?

5.    Anti-cow protection movement of ICAR Institutes (Under leadership of Director ICAR-IVRI-Izatnagar, Dr. RK Singh): It is an established fact that non-productive, disabled and diseased cows have routinely been auctioned from ICAR Institutes to so-called farmers. The question is why? Do the non-productive, disabled and diseased cows become profitable at farmers door, do farmers are better managers than so-called experts and doyens of Veterinary and animal sciences or animals are sold to butchers so that they can transport those using the sale certificate from the Institutes or anything else? To hide the disease, ICAR institutes are not monitoring for infectious and contagious diseases like Brucellosis and Tuberculosis, why?

However, even after five months, I have not been given time to put the facts and strategy to beat the corruption in the Council. It might be probably either due to the involvement of the responsible person in the corruption himself or due to interest in promoting the corruption or due to intention to protect corrupt friends in the system or due to some other more important work and business. Sir, it is corruption only which have made to failure of most of the disease control program launched by the ministry in past, but due to one or other reasons corrupts involved have been continuously been protect till they get graciously retired and given laurels even after retirement. Therefore, Sir, I request you to kindly spare a little of your valuable time it will be very kind of you if you can invite the experts to the requested meeting so that my point of view can be assessed properly and unbiased and corruption in the council can be handled properly to benefit the farmers so that the Goal of doubling farmers income can be visualized in time, please.

The PMO Response

I rated this response at the lowest (poor) with the following Comments:

The same response means, No response, since Last 5 year even after repeated requests. It would have been a consolation if a CBI inquiry would have been ordered or PMO would have been agreed to see the corruption documents. This is not a small matter, due to this ongoing corruption since decades more than Rs. 50 000 Krores are lost from livestock sector every year as direct loss and indirect loss is unaccounted, and Central Government spends more than Rs. 2500 Krores every year on the disease control and state Governments spend even more year after year. The apathy shown by PMO for the complaint only shows the level of transparency and concern of Government for the Farmers. Hope, you may not like this response and will act for the Nation and for the Farmers, please. Yours Bhoj Raj Singh, Head of Epidemiology, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar.
