[Goanet] A 'dying' community? (Frederick Noronha)

[Goanet Reader]

By Frederick Noronha

Nobody would like to be told they're dying; not even an
elderly patient on a deathbed. So, one reads with rather
mixed feelings the BBC.com story titled 'In pictures: India's
dying Christian communities'.

  This feature was actually about a forthcoming book
  by the London-based photographer Karan Kapoor, the
  son of actors Shashi Kapoor and Jennifer (Kendal)
  Kapoor. Initially, the article focuses on the
  Anglo-Indian community, but latter on throws in the
  line that "Kapoor also took portraits of Goa's
  Catholic community".

Karan Kapoor's parents were part of an early generation which
owned a holiday home in Goa. This was at Baga, if one is not
wrong. The Kapoors came in to Goa some time before it became
the fashionable thing to do, for anyone  and their uncle from
Urban India.

Given how the mainstream-periphery divide works here, one
that Independent India has inherited from British India, this
is not the first, nor the last depiction of Quaint Goa. Many
many decades later perhaps, visiting photographers will
continue to locate the 21st century equivalent of what Kapoor
found here in the 1990s.

Tiny boys striking a pose behind a violin at Loutolim. A
blind musician being led to the church feast. Suit-clad
teenagers consciously posing while seated on a parked
scooter. A boys dressed as an angel for church service in
Loutolim. A scene at the centuries-old seminary at Rachol.

  But despite the somewhat cliched depiction, Karan
  Kapoor's work pushes us to think of wider issues
  concerning Goa. Once again, in the 2010s, the
  Catholic in Goa feels a sense of uncertainity and
  disenchantment as he (often she, this is in some
  ways a women-empowered society, thanks to migration
  and education) looks to the future.

For Goa's Catholics, history has been like a roller coaster
ride. It's important not to get unduly pessimistic over it,
but the facts have to be faced up to. Good and challenging
trends have come its way, not just in the past five or six
decades of tumultous political change. But this has been the
case through centuries of migration, changing fortunes,
shrinking and expanding opportunity, new El Dorados and
unexpected threats.

* * *

In the 1960s, as ours was one of the families heading  back
to Goa, the local Catholic elite was largely caught up amidst
fears, doom and gloom. Those brought up amidst a Portuguese
worldview saw little hope. But, for the English-speaking
Catholic, opportunity was just opening up back home.

  By the late 1960s and early 1970s, the traumatic
  developments in former British East Africa,
  specially Uganda, ended up ironically in bringing
  in so much talent back here. I have argued
  elsewhere that this was a time when many
  emigration-oriented (read: Catholic) coastal
  villages flowered like never before.

But, barely a decade or so later, by the 1980s, many of the
children of those who had returned were finishing their
education, and readying to once again migrate themselves.
Today, many are settled in Australia, Canada, UK, the US and
other parts of the Anglo-Saxon English-speaking world.
Meanwhile, in the 1990s, quite a few Bombay Goans opted to
resettle here, for reasons of real estate costs, and safety
issues in the big city, among others.

* * *

  Three challenges face the community now, that in
  some ways justify the 'dying' tag of Karan Kapoor.
  The first stems from a crisis of its own ambitions.
  The second is its struggle to legitimise its
  aspirations. Third, but not necessarily in that
  order, is the role it builds for itself in its home
  State and the wider world.

Goans worldwide are, in some ways, victims of their own
ambitious. The growing trend towards seeking foreign
passports -- not just Portuguese -- has been widely commented
upon. We all have our own stories of our own friends and
colleagues, who, despite enjoying a perfectly comfortable
lifestyle in Goa, one fine day just pack their bags and
leave. If asked, they will justify it saying they are doing
this "for the children's sake".

  Unlike other Indian migratory communities, the Goan
  Catholic is seldom known to return home once (s)he
  migrates. The Goan ability to merge into almost any
  setting is a doubled-edged sword. It makes
  migration easy, but lowers the desire to return. In
  contrast, highly education expats from the rest of
  India are ready to return back and contribute to
  that place called home, sometimes while they are in
  their 30s itself. Goa has a few exceptions of this
  kind, like the festival-organising Marius
  Fernandes. But most stay away, only to find their
  children too deeply entrenced in their new

[Goanet] Opinions of the Minority Community about the Draft National Education Policy 2016. Please sign this petition

[Robin Viegas]

From: b sabha 


From: Change.org >




Hello,

I just signed the petition, "Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India: Opinions of the 
Minority Community about the Draft National Education Policy 2016."

I think this is important. Will you sign it too?

Here's the link:

https://www.change.org/p/ministry-of-hrd-govt-of-india-opinions-of-the-minority-community-about-the-draft-national-education-policy-2016

Thanks,

Bombay Catholic Sabha, Kalina Unit





[X]

We bring to your attention the Draft National Education Policy 2016 published 
by the MHRD, Govt. of India (http://mhrd.gov.in/nep-new

A closer look at the new education policy reveals that

  *   Yoga is to be made compulsory and facilities for the same are mandatory 
for educational institutions to get recognition
  *   Sanskrit and Indian culture are proposed to be made mandatory in the 
curriculum.  Introduction of Moral values is also a veiled attempt to teach one 
particular religious book in value classes.

The preamble of the draft eulogizes the ancient patriarchal gurukul system, and 
praises the contributions of male hindu scholars of the past and of hindu 
leaders in modern India.

The draft does not give any credit to the immense historic and continuing 
contribution of the Church to education in Indian society. The Church has been 
making a very valuable positive impact to school, college and professional 
education through its thousands of institutions in the country.

The NEP 2016 policy mentions names of Gokhale, Ram Mohan Roy, Pt. Madan Mohan 
Malaviya and Gandhiji who worked for better education for the people of India 
but has ignored -

  *   Sir Sayed who founded Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College in 1875
  *   William Carey who founded the Sirampore University and was the 
inspiration to Raja Ram MohanRoy.
  *   Inception of English Medium Schooling through the missionaries of the 
West.

History should not be distorted and the education system should not be 
communalized. The Government must be sensitive to the pluralistic 
multicultural, multi-religious context of the country, before imposing any 
centralized system of education for it to be truly inclusive.

The draft is ambiguous on its definition of Value Education. What is value 
education? What it should be? Values are the priorities which individuals and 
societies attach to certain beliefs, experiences, and objects, in deciding how 
they shall live and what they shall treasure. What is the basis of the Values 
that the Government is trying to introduce? Cultural? Religious? …??

The draft with its emphasis on governance and administration through a 
hierarchy of offices at state division, district, block and schools gives rise 
to the fear of the imposition of a centralized system of education which takes 
away the freedom and dynamism of minority-run institutions and individual 
schools.

The draft talks about introducing the study of Indian Culture. Again this is an 
open ended inclusion in the draft which can be used to introduce books of 
religious significance in the name and garb of Culture. To achieve social 
inclusiveness and national integration, curriculum should reflect the plural 
culture of India.

The minority community's views and apprehensions don’t seem to be taken into 
consideration while formulating the draft. The government must have a special 
consultation of intellectuals, academicians from members of minority community 
and with minority educational Institutions before finalizing the draft.

So, at a time when the fabric of the education system is being distorted with 
please sign this petition and ensure we have a well informed non based 
education system that would enable the next generation to make healthy choices.

[Goanet] DoYouRemember: Polson butter?

[Bernado Colaco]

In our good old golden years in the 60's and as a young person I was often 
taken by my parents to Café Central a proper coffee restaurant which was 
situated and where now stands the horrendous bharati era Filhos da mae 
building. Bun pao coated with Polson butter,  was the order of the day. As the 
years went by our standard of living slowly degraded. It was goodbye Polson and 
Café Central and welcome 'be indian by indian.
BC





A consideration:
Most Christian homes did not have butter on the table. Perhaps such was the
case in certain enclaves. I know many people who did not, and nether did


I don't quite agree with Eric that this was because of India's
'socialistic' approach. Rather, this was a country just emerging out of
colonialism, with little or no industrial base (my dad had just finished a
contract with helping Kaiser Engineer's build a steel plant in Jamshedpur
and was taking on the offer to take up a job with the next at Cubatao, Sao
Paulo state (later on to become one of the 10 most polluted places on the
planet!) Besides, there was a lack of skills. Doctors who took their
education in India and migrated Westwards were reminded, I recall, that
their education had cost the taxpayer Rs100,000 -- a huge sum in those days.

Famines were know (around 1967, if not mistaken). The US/Indian solution
was the Green Revolution (anything to avoid Red!). In fits and starts, the
US-India relationship was on the rocks, and post-colonial defiance at times
wasn't making things easier.

We could occasionally afford butter. Fresh milk was cheap, but there were
queues (in Goa till the early 1980s), and one was lucky if you got a 250 ml
plastic bag.

I remember we occasionally ate Dalda (a kind of ghee) with sugar on our
bread, as it was cheaper. Eggs were easier to come by, probably because
these were locally produced.

Our family brought back a fridge with us from Brazil, but till 1970 we
didn't have an electricity connection at home! Those were those trying
times. Nonetheless, I look back wistfully. The tough parts tend to get
edited out of our memories.

[Goanet] IN POLITICS YOU CAN’T HAVE THE CAKE AND EAT IT TOO

[Aires Rodrigues]

A very strange excuse indeed (professional/family commitments) by AAP’s Goa
Messiah & dear friend  Dr Oscar Rebello to avoid leading from the front.
Oscar, are you unique and the only one having such responsibilities?

You can act the 'Elder Statesman' a-la Vajpayee, and guide others AFTER you
have first faced the music yourself, Doctor. Even Sherlock Holmes, fond of
analysing crime whilst smoking a pipe in his comfortable armchair, jumped
into the fray and tackled murderous hounds when the time came. The common
man (Aam aadmi), which your Party claims to protect, expects you to lead
from the front.

Many are they who talk from the Pulpit but only he who practices what he
preaches earns respect!

Politics is a full time mission. If one wanted not to get wet, one
shouldn't have entered the waters in the first place.

[Goanet] AIFF REPORT: AFC-AIFF TASKFORCE MEETS IN GOA (TWO ATTACHMENTS).

[AIFF Media]

*AFC-AIFF TASKFORCE MEETS IN GOA*



The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and the All India Football
Federation (AIFF) held their initial taskforce meeting today (September 28,
2016) in Goa, India. The meeting was described as ‘extremely positive.’



Dato’ Windsor John, the AFC General Secretary, and Kushal Das, the AIFF
General Secretary, led the delegations who agreed the scope of the
taskforce’s remit, in addition to discussing issues such as development,
club licensing, competitions, encompassing rankings, and the development of
officials such as referees.



“The taskforce meeting was extremely positive and the AFC identified areas
in which we can assist the development of football in India – which is a
key to the AFC’s vision of increasing engagement in the sport”, said Dato’
Windsor.



He added: “We had fruitful discussions on the status of league football in
India. The AIFF’s plans for the proposed league structure were again
discussed but the AFC is extremely clear on this matter. Any decisions on
the structure of the game in India are for the AIFF Executive Committee –
not the AFC.”



“The AFC are happy to give support and advice but the important decisions
on the format of the proposed new league are purely the domain of the AIFF.”



Mr Kushal Das expressed his satisfaction on the discussions and stated that
the AFC’s experience in other countries for such restructuring will go a
long way in determining the best possible structure which will benefit the
development of football in India.



During the previous day, following the AFC Extraordinary Congress, the AIFF
had also given a presentation on their plans for football development in
the country to both the AFC President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa
and the FIFA President Gianni Infantino, as well as AIFF Executive
Committee Vice Presidents.



The taskforce will meet again in the near future – on a date to be decided.

[Goanet] FIFA PRESIDENT UNVEILS NEW AIFF IDENTITY (THREE ATTACHMENTS).

[AIFF Media]

*FIFA PRESIDENT UNVEILS NEW AIFF IDENTITY*

*AIFF Media Team*

*MARGAO:* The new logo of the All India Football Federation was launched by
FIFA President Mr. Gianni Infantino in the presence of AFC President Shaikh
Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa, Mr. Vijay Goel, Minister for Sports and
Youth Affairs and Mr. Praful Patel, President, AIFF at a glittering
function in Panjim.

The new logo which represents the Tricolor in the form of a rising flame
along with a Football denotes vibrancy and constant upward movement of
Indian Football. The shield on one side of the logo solidifies the entire
structure and represents AIFF’s inclusiveness, responsibility and authority
towards the game in India.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Patel maintained that need for AIFF was to
“look contemporary to reflect the changes and reforms that Federation has
been undertaking over the past few years.”


“The AIFF was formed in 1937 and we are 79 years old. I thought when you
get older you got to get younger and look contemporary. Hence, we needed a
new younger look,” the AIFF President stated.


“We have a new logo which has energy and resonates the exhaustiveness of
the Nation in one single picture.”


FIFA President Mr. Infantino echoed that the name AIFF gives the “feeling
of the magnitude of the Country.”


“India is no less than a Continent where Football is developing and where
Football will become the number 1 sport. It is already the number 1 sport
for the younger ones,” he said.


The new logo has been designed after a comprehensive process where the
design team had detailed interactions with FIFA experts, AIFF leadership,
AIFF Officials, Partners, former and current Players and the fans to get a
sense of what they wanted the new logo to represent. The key words that
emerged were Indian, Youthful, Inclusive and Vibrant.

AFC President Shaikh Salman said that it was “great to be back in India.”

“Today marks another step on the road to Football history as the new logo
has been unmasked,” he felt. “It’s good to be back in India almost a year
since when we had such a beautiful night celebrating the Annual AFC Awards
night.”


The Sports Minister Mr. Vijay Goel mentioned about Prime Minister Mr.
Narendra Modi describing the “U-17 World Cup as a great opportunity to
revolutionize Sports in India.”


“The FIFA U-17 is an excellent opportunity to instil passion for Football
in India. We will witness a full-fledged Football revolution in the
Country,” he stated.

Hi Roland,

Thanks for the memories.
Polson Butter, Waterbury's Compound and even Enos Fruit salts - I remember
them all!
Being prone to chest infections as a youngster,  I must have consumed
several bottles of Waterbury's compound.
If my memory serves me, I think there were two types - blue and red label?
   I loved Polson butter more because of its salty taste(no warnings about
too much salt intake in
those days). The other 'excitement with Polson butter was to collect the
gift coupon and try and
wipe the 'grease' off them. Innocent cravings!
   During the war days I remember we had to make do with margarine-(can't
remember the brand)
or ghee!
  Having later tasted Kenya butter, produced by Kenya Co-operative
Creameries, I must say
that this particular spread takes the biscuit!

[Goanet] Hail Musharaff

[Nelson Lopes]

HAIL  MUSHARAF

It was an amusing interview on India Today with Rawal Kanwal in full blown,
sarcastic  smiles in contrast to sedentary cool and calmposed  Musharaf .
In his characteristic state of total denials, the cool aggression and
military brutality was not lost .He ducked question on  Osama Bin Ladin
secret, protected hide out in the garrison town of Abatobad  in close
proximity of military establishment .It is no surprise that they could
 spot any intruders from Pakistan and  even their awareness. Musharaf
declared that osama with kidney failure might have died long ago.. It also
harbours internationally  declared terrorist Dawood Ibrahim and Safeez Shaed.
What more proof is needed of Pakistan being a heaven for terrorist,
abetting,training arming and pushing them into India under provocative
fire.? Bombay carnage,Patankot, Uri massacre are meticulously planned and
executed plots of terror. In the  latest incident the four mercenaries
 killed at Uri have no love for Kashmir or the  protests

Musharaf  calls Bugti a non starter forsaken by his family and tribe and
that India is fermenting further unrest in possibly acceding to his request
for political asylum . The inhabitants are fully supporting the army in
Balochistan and recorded , brutal atrocities on unarmed civilians, their
disappearance are figments of imagination,  myths  intricately woven by RAW
into make belief  is the counter propaganda that  is unleashed by Raw ,
fuelling the protest  and unrest in the region. The protest and suppression
in POK and Gilgit Pakistan are a bluff, When   a caller called his bluff
about army role, Musaraff aggressively declared that he should be
butchered,a  language indicative of his fiery ,cold  anger. The incidents
and statics were denied as a bluff .He failed to articulate his views on
Buran wani the confirmed terrorist  to any sensible convincing level .On
the contrary he  rolled  out  some statics,being reticent about any other
disclosures, except about the large  number of army personnel stationed at
Kashmir. .He woefully lamented about the hysteria unleashed and the
effectiveness of Indian propaganda being far superior to Pakistan counter,
Pakistan has deputed 20  legislators to various capitals to paint India red
but without any success so far. It appears that the world leaders
denouncing Pakistan are swayed by the lies and do not have their own mind
at swallowing the propaganda without any analysis of unfolding terror
events around the world.  Mush is the architect of war  in Kargil under
guise of promoting good will like a bee having money in the mouth and sting
at the back .The truth about assasinating Benazir Buto  is too clear for
further elaboration. The military coup in sending Sharif into exile shows
his love for democratic Institutions in PKISTAN. He wants  to undertake
self assumed   role , as  an unofficial , goodwill  Ambassador to USA to
clear the perception about genuineness of Pakistan intentions and terror
 label assigned to  his sovereign  country.  It is  most unfortunate that
he cannot even go to  his beloved Pakistan to lend voluntarily,  moral
 uncalled support  while being incarcerated into exile..

It is not expected that he would admit of any wrong doing by his state and
the purpose in featuring  him to candidly express his views in an unbiased
manner are far fetched.  It is pointless too in inviting Pakistan guests,
insulting and humiliating them and expecting them to be honest in their
answers is misplaced. The only saving grace in featuring Mush, who
denounced Shusma Swaraj by  pouring vitriolic comments at UNGA, while being
silent on the verbosity and lack luster accusations by Shariff in cold
sweat is his calmness, but deep hatred  and suppressed military brutality.
He warned India on water bomb which will  force  Pakistan  to take  extreme
measures to protect its interest and water life line and not take Pakistan
for granted

Re: [Goanet] DoYouRemember: Polson butter?

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

Of course, you're right on that Venantius. Event hough we romanticise the
"good old days", the 1960s were tough times for many (almost all?) of us in
India.

I don't quite agree with Eric that this was because of India's
'socialistic' approach. Rather, this was a country just emerging out of
colonialism, with little or no industrial base (my dad had just finished a
contract with helping Kaiser Engineer's build a steel plant in Jamshedpur
and was taking on the offer to take up a job with the next at Cubatao, Sao
Paulo state (later on to become one of the 10 most polluted places on the
planet!) Besides, there was a lack of skills. Doctors who took their
education in India and migrated Westwards were reminded, I recall, that
their education had cost the taxpayer Rs100,000 -- a huge sum in those days.

Famines were know (around 1967, if not mistaken). The US/Indian solution
was the Green Revolution (anything to avoid Red!). In fits and starts, the
US-India relationship was on the rocks, and post-colonial defiance at times
wasn't making things easier.

We could occasionally afford butter. Fresh milk was cheap, but there were
queues (in Goa till the early 1980s), and one was lucky if you got a 250 ml
plastic bag.

I remember we occasionally ate Dalda (a kind of ghee) with sugar on our
bread, as it was cheaper. Eggs were easier to come by, probably because
these were locally produced.

Our family brought back a fridge with us from Brazil, but till 1970 we
didn't have an electricity connection at home! Those were those trying
times. Nonetheless, I look back wistfully. The tough parts tend to get
edited out of our memories.

Thanks, Francis. You're the second person to say it was a British product.
Actually, I too thought the same, but was surprised to read on the

>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polson
Polson's Coffee & Butter
Type Private
IndustryDairy
Founded1900
HeadquartersMumbai India
Key people Pestonjee Eduljee
ProductsMilk, Butter, Coffee, other dairy products

Polson is the name of a Dairy products brand that was started in India by
Pestonjee Eduljee in 1915 in Mumbai. Polson's first dairy was set up in
Anand, Gujarat at the cost of ₹7 lakh (US$10,000) in 1930.[1]

History

Before Polson dairy was started, housewives in India used to buy butter and
milk from the milkmen directly. First, when Polson dairy started out, it
had to employ non-Indian staff initially. During World War I it supplied
Polson Butter and Polson's Pure coffee to British Indian and American
forces. At its peak, it was producing up to 5 tons of butter every day and
to meet the demands of the forces as a result of which a new factory office
was started in Bombay.[2] Polson was known to let its cream sour for a few
days and that stale cream was then heavily salted and processed to make
butter. This is the reason why a rival brandAmul's butter made of fresh
cream flopped in the market because consumers were too used to Polson's
taste.[3]

Monopoly and downfall

As an incentive to big consumers, the brand used to hand out gift coupons
as rewards.[4] By 1945, Polson as a brand was flourishing and had touched a
record production of 3 million pounds of butter every year. Despite this
success rate, it did not do much to help improve the condition of Indian
farmers. Due to the monopoly it had established with government support,
farmers were unable to sell their milk to any other vendor in the market.
This was brought to the attention of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, an Indian
nationalist leader in the freedom struggle. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who
had been toying with the idea of opening a cooperative society since 1942,
finally initiated a co-operative movement with the farmers in 1946. This
led to the formation of Amul, a rival and a milk cooperative, on 14
December 1946.[5] With this decline in dairy operations, Polson was bought
over by its main promoters, Jagdish and Amol Kapadia who then diverted
business towards tanning and leather production in[6] 1970s.

Re: [Goanet] DoYouRemember: Polson butter?

[Venantius J Pinto]

A consideration:
Most Christian homes did not have butter on the table. Perhaps such was the
case in certain enclaves. I know many people who did not, and nether did
we. And there were many other things we and they did not partake in. It was
not financially possible. We did not have a fridge, nor a record player and
so on and so forth. People come from different strata of society, and
accordingly lived lives. Always hoping. This is something I have attempted
to spell out many times. Also there is nothing homogeneous about Goans and
lived aesthetics, as also ethics.

[Goanet] DSE and employees associations

[Nelson Lopes]

DSE and employees Association

The birth of DES employees Association is the  germination of simmering
discontent, brewing of suppressed, pent up  emotions that have now found an
outlet after years of DSE establishment.. The Association of teaching and
non teaching employees must be seen as a legitimate exercise to express
fearlessly their legitimate rights and grievances. Hence  it should be seen
not as a confrontational entity but rather  as  facilitators of  genuine
causes.. Employees at times,often have to meekly submit to subjective
diktats under threat to resign  with  an overbearing attitudes of
authorities and  with Ex Offico Chairman and President of DSE   not
normally interfering, to  mediate even on appeal.. There is at present no
redressal mechanism in the vast organisation. What then is the remedy
against absolute authoritarian streaks?  In order  to bring objectivity,
transparency and dialogue this organization is to be welcomed and office
bearers treated with due respect and not with arrogance and disdain , if
 press reports are  to be belived as authentic .The appointment of  a
special committee to scrutinize, recommend  child care is no consolation, a
 fruitless exercise of bureaucracy  to hide behind cloak of delay and
denial and has no legitimacy whatsoever.

There are contentious issues   and denial on Child care leave, a social
beneficial legislations conferred by Govt. specillay for women in the
family   must not be overidden.. There cannot be rules within rules in
compliance   with unambiguous directives, which puts no restrictive clauses
and scope for misinterpretations and subjectivity, The C.M, an ex teacher
himself and in his capacity as Minister of Education is on record
expressing displeasure at the  injustice, when the Govt, is totally
committed to the additional financial expenditure on substitute teacher
 salary and maitenace grants.  The only requirement should be sufficient
notice to make arrangements before the employee proceeds on leave and
handing over the charge. The appointment of committee by DSE to scrutinize
such request is totally misplaced and indicative of hardened attitude
towards its employees. It may be pertinent to state that the Secretary
absents himself too frequently on foreign trips over 2/3 months instead of
a month, at the beginning of crucila  academic session, while   replacing
those who leave to beat the  harsh weather conditions. His sanctioned
 ecclesiastical leave for personal enrichment with no bearing on
administration is a hindrance to smooth functioning during this most
 crucial period. .Decision are postponed, kept in abeyance till his return
 There is no consolation or  merit of substitute arrangements, who  have
 no authority to take decisons and if substitutes can do the job, the
position of the Secretary is reduntant.The record  in contrasts of leave
availed by late Secretary  Rev, Canon  Antimo  is an example in  moral
rectitude  and self imposed restrictions  in larger interests of
administration, Who is more germane to the  vital administration one may
question- a Secretary with no restrictions on personal leave of absence,
controlling number of Institutions at primary, secondary, higher secondary
and college level or some non discrete employee in one institution?
Indispensability of an employee vis a vis the privilege to leave by the
Secretary is a the most flimsy excuse to stomach and least convincing.. The
discretion, if any must be reasonably justified , convincing and addressed
to facilitate and not to absolute reject with impunity of authority. That
some employees were forced to knock at the doors of Courts to seek redressal
shows the height of insensitivity driving a wedge  and  seeding soured
relationships not conducive to progress

Over the years a committee should have been  apointed to  deal with
 serious contentious issues like service conditions related to transfers,
promotions. all  types  of Leave , define roles and duties of Heads,
Mangers, DSE to avoid areas of conflict management that are a festering
problems in smooth administration. The lines of separation must be clearly
specified with no scope of intrpretaions and discretions as far as
possible. The appointment letters then did refer to service conditions
prepared by Fr Antimo , but were not included as a part of appointment
order and  such service conditions should not be in variance with
directives of Education department. These service conditions should be
revisited to avoid partiality, favoritism, subjectivity so that perception
of threats , victimization , punishment are relegated to the background and
any such exercise shoould be perceived sa fair just and eqitable.  The heart
burning  issue of transfers need to me  clearly spelt out,,made more humane
with due considerations and understanding  of length of service at one
station, distances involved in travelling, family and health problems ,as a
merciful catholic arm of the Church .  Transfers visualized,
