The newspaper editorials shriek that autonomy is under threat and that professionals are being attacked. But the answer probably is not so simple as that. Autonomy means responsible functioning under a democratic setup. It does not mean an autocratic regime which Dr Venugopal can be safely accused of ushering in. He has transformed himself into a one man institution just as Dr Kurien did in Amul. Such concentration of authority in a single person is a double edged sword. It breeds sycophants who wish to share the pie and as a result the interest of the organisation goes for a toss. Dr Venugopal has been accused by his colleagues, many of whom have since left the institution, of usurping the credits of individuals. This is a very serious charge and goes against the basic ethics of a professional person. The resultant dissatisfaction of qualified doctors was made up by taking sides with students unions and keeping a firm grip on the sycophant lobby. This too is unbecoming of a professional. Dr Ramadoss has been accused of politicking, which incidentally is his job, but it cannot be denied that Dr Venugopal too is an astute politician. Another dissatisfaction brewing in the Institution is the segregation of students belonging to a particular category and keeping them under constant threat. In any well managed institution such things should not be condoned. After one is admitted all should be treated as equals and on merit. Why has Dr Venugopal overlooked this glaring shortcoming? Why has he preferred to look the other way? This does not reflect well on his administrative acumen. Dr Venugopal has exceeded his term, thanks to his proximity to the political establishment. This itself has denied promotion opportunities to meritorious candidates who were more than eligible for the post. What makes Dr Venugopal so greedy for the chair? Is it for the sake of welfare of the patients, the welfare of the institution, for the sake of enjoying power, or what? The aim of the AIIMS is to treat patients, not to turn them away pushing them to their death. But this is exactly what this premier Institution is doing now. A professional director of a premier Institution who has already overstayed his term should realise the folly of this personal struggle for power and resign with grace. He will be more beneficial to his patients if he concentrates on his personal practice. Yours sincerely, Jagannath Chatterjee, Health Reform Activist .

I disagree. There are some things that can be made online, and some things that simply aren't meant to be done online. Making drafts of constitution, analysing them and giving replies is much simpler and efficient via online means. This way, everybody manages to read the whole text, and the opinions flow. There can be even more texts to start from, not just one single constitution to add to or to subtract from. I think it's a very democratic system. -- Best wishes for your future, Cratima Cratima Software and Cratima Interactive - http://www.cratima.com - It's deadline.
