Besides border guarding, ITBP is actively involved in internal security duties, VIP protection, Anti Naxal operation, UN Mission and security of Embassy and Consulates in Afghanistan. DSA: ITBP personnel guard India’s international borders from Karakoram Pass in Ladakh to Jechap La in Arunachal Pradesh in some of the world’s most inhospitable terrains. What kind of professional training and motivation helps and inspires them to give their best in the service of the nation? Sh. Subhas Goswami, DG, ITBP during an interview to 'Defence and Security Alert' Defence and Security Alert: Indo -Tibetan Border Police was operationalized in 1962 as a small force under the CRPF Act. Over the years ITBP has evolved and grown into a multi-dimensional elite security force. Please share with our readers the highlights of ITBP’s eventful journey to its present preeminence. Director General, ITBP: Indo- Tibetan Border Police was raised on October 24, 1962 in the wake of Chinese aggression for re-organising the frontier intelligence and security set up along the Indo- Tibetan border. Initially, the force was raised under I.B. as Guerrilla-cum-fighting force. Only four Battalions were sanctioned to begin with. In view of the additional responsibilities and redefined task in 1976, the original role of the Force changed to conventional force on the recommendations of Rustamji Committee. The force was restructured in 1978-1979 by sanctioning 09 service Battalions and 04 specialists Battalions and other components for Border Guarding, Counter Insurgency and Internal Security duties. The force has gradually grown and now consisting of around 90,000 troops. Presently, ITBP is guarding the IndiaChina Border from Karakoram Pass in Ladakh to Jechap La in Arunachal Pradesh covering 3488 Kms of Border. It twu & 2014 DG, ITBP: Every ITBP personnel is a trained mountaineer for a defensive battle in high altitude area. Apart from undergoing strenuous basic training, ITBP personnel undergo periodic refresher courses to sharpen their fighting skills and improve their mental and physical toughness. To keep the troops updated with modern weapons and equipment available in the force, regular classes and on job training are conducted in units and forward posts on weapon handling & handling of modern equipment. The only one Police training establishment for Mountaineering and Skiing is with ITBP. Most of the forward posts of the force remain cut off from surface route during winter season due to snow accumulation en route. The border posts are exposed to high velocity storms, snow blizzards, avalanches, and landslides, besides the effect of high altitude and extreme cold, where temperature dips down up to minus 40 degree Celsius. About 2/3 tenure of ITBP personnel is spent in such rigorous area. To prepare them for that ITBP personnel undergo basic and advance courses on mountaineering, Skiing, Survival, Commando, Unarmed Combat, Counter insurgency & Jungle Warfare, Judo courses, Medical First Responder and disaster management within the organization and outside the organization. In order to boost the morale of troops, the rotation of troops from high altitude to low altitude is done as far as possible. On completion of tenure in extreme hard areas, troops are posted to plain area for rest and recuperation. Besides above, special allowances, medals and rewards are also given. DSA: India has long and porous borders and is afflicted with militancy and terrorism, infiltration and insurgency, 3 vkbZ-Vh-ch-ih- if=dk smuggling of arms and fake currency and ITBP has been entrusted with the onerous responsibility of guarding our northern borders. How well prepared is ITBP to face these challenges and defeat such anti-national activities? DG, ITBP: The responsibility entrusted to ITBP for guarding the India-China border is from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh. Although, the area entrusted is large but the natural barriers limit ingress routes. ITBP has already identified those routes and established Border Out Posts (BOPs) to keep an eye over it. It is to mention here that ITBP force is well trained and fully equipped to take first blend of any misadventure by our adversaries. As a border guarding force that is what only expected from us. carried out large numbers of rescue and relief operations in Himalayan Region. ITBP has a Centre For Training in Search, Rescue & Disaster Response at Panchkula in Haryana for imparting training to ITBP and other police forces. In last year ITBP has rescued 33,009 pilgrims during flash flood in Uttarakhand. Since 1981, ITBP is providing medical cover and security to the pilgrims during Annual Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. DSA: ITBP personnel have excelled in peacekeeping operations in many parts of the world. How do you select and train your people for such international deployments?

DSA: ITBP is also meagerly involved in the preservation of Himalayan environment and ecology. What are your accomplishments in this area and what are your plans for the future? DG, ITBP: ITBP is in the forefront for the preserving Himalyan ecology. ITBP has taken itself the task of maintaining the delicate balance of flora & fauna. ITBP ensures that the flora & fauna of the area around BOPs is not disturbed or destroyed. ITBP organizes plantation drives in its campus and BOPs are as well nurture them. ITBP also observe World Environment Day, Earth Day and motivate all personnel to preserve ecology and avoid any action which may degrade environment. All units have been instructed to reduce the use of polythene in their campuses. ITBP has also made pioneering efforts in introducing the use of Solar energy in border areas for the purpose of electrification, battery charging and telecommunications. In the year 2012 as part of Golden Jubilee Celebration ITBP has organized a Ganga cleaning and environmental awareness by organizing a rafting expedition from Gangotri to Kolkata. DSA: Due to the difficult terrain and inhospitable working environment, many personal and professional reasons, there is a lot of stress among the force personnel. What remedial measures is ITBP taking to address and manage this growing affliction? DG, ITBP: It is true that the separation from family, environmental hazards and remoteness cause stress & strains in human body. ITBP is also not immune to it. To minimize stress, our Stress Counsellors are posted up to BOP level. Their job is to advice troops how to cope up with stress. The Stress Management courses are also being run at field level. To keep personnel happy Spiritual Activities, Meditation, Yoga, Sports Activities are also encouraged further to that. ITBP personnel are sent on leave 3 to 4 times in a year for rest and recuperation and meeting their families. Most of the BOPs have been connected with satellite telephones and internet so that personnel can keep in touch with their families. Library with sufficient books is available at all the BOPs, and books, periodicals and magazines are also send to BOPs on monthly basis. DSA: As Head of India’s elite border guarding force, what is your vision for ITBP and what ideas and thoughts would you like to share with the people of India and DSA readers around the world? DG, ITBP: ITBP is elite force because of its tough training and professionalism. As the Chief of the force I can assure you that ITBP will not leave any stone untrained in guarding the Indo China Border. I know the call is very tall but I am confident on the professional competency of my force. As the leader of the force my endeavor will be to uphold the high standards set by this force and regularly reminding and motivating my officers and personnel to realize their responsibility and the confidence the nation has reposed on them and live up to that expectation.

One year of natural calamity and remarkable rescue and relief efforts by ITBP in Uttarakhand. PR Cell, Dte Genl. It’s been a year that an unprecedented natural disaster occurred in the higher reaches of Himalayas in the Char Dham Yatra route. A major disaster struck on 16/17th June 2013 in Uttarakhand and adjoining areas after heavy (64.5mm - 124.4mm) to very heavy rains (124.5mm – 244.4mm) on 16th and 17th June, 2013 in several parts of the State. This heavy precipitation resulted into the swelling of rivers, both in the upstream as well as downstream areas. Besides the rain water, a huge quantity of water was probably released from melting of ice and glaciers due to high temperatures during the month of May and June. This unprecedented natural downpour caused havoc in the northern Indian states. Though some parts of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in India experienced the flood, some regions of Western Nepal, and some parts of Western Tibet also experienced heavy rainfall, most of the casualties occurred in Uttarakhand. By 16th July 2013, as reported by Uttarakhand government, more than 5,700 people were ‘presumed dead.’ This total included 934 local residents. Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Indian Air Force, the Indian Army, and Uttarakhand Police and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) evacuated more than 110,000 people from the flood ravaged area. Destruction of bridges and roads left about 100,000 pilgrims and tourists trapped in the valleys leading to three of the four Hindu ‘Chota Char Dham’ pilgrimage sites (Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath) besides holy sikh pilgrimage of Hemkund sahib and Govindghat. Indo Tibetan Border Police Force, National Landslides, due to the floods, damaged several houses and structures, killing those who were trapped. The heavy rains resulted in large flash floods and massive landslides. Entire villages and settlements such as Gaurikund and the market town of Ram Bada, a transition point to Kedarnath, have been obliterated, while the market town of Sonprayag suffered heavy damage and loss of lives. Pilgrimage centres in the region, including Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnathand Badrinath, the hallowed Hindu Chardham (four sites) pilgrimage centers, are visited by thousands of devotees, especially after the month of May onwards. Over 70,000 people were stuck in various regions because of damaged or blocked roads. People in other important locations like the Valley of flowers, Roopkund and the Sikh pilgrimage centre Hemkund were stranded for more than three days. National Highway 58, an important artery connecting the region was also washed away near Jyotirmath and in many other places. Because summers have more number of tourists, the number of people impacted is substantial. For more than three days, stranded pilgrims and tourists were without rations or survived on little food. ITBP personnel during rescue mission in Kedarnath valley in which thousands of stranded pilgrims were evacuated safely Rescue mission in progress: Improvised techniques adopted by ITBP personnel saved thousands of lives from a grave situation 10 twu& 2014 vkb-ZVh-ch-ih- if=dk Rescue operations in affected areas:Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBPF) was the first responder agency during this unprecedented disaster situation. Initially, the scale of disaster was not known to the outer world and it was only when an aerial recce was conducted by ITBPF, the gravity of situation came into light. 5 Battalions and one training centre (Approximately 2000 men) of ITBPF located proximate to the disaster areas of Uttarakhand and 200 personnel of Himachal Pradesh Battalions of ITBP, immediately swung into action. Reaching to the stranded pilgrims was very difficult as all roads and tracks was washed away.

He has submitted his experience in the form of this article -Editor-in-chief) It was 21 days programme, jointly organized by JICA (Japanese International Cooperation Agency) & National Police Agency Tokyo. There were total 11 candidates, including me, from 10 countries namely- India, Bhutan, Srilanka, Indonesia, Mali, Cote D’ivoire, Ecuador, Venezuela, Jordan & Jamaica. Training methodology was through lectures, field visits, group discussions etc. Objective of the programme was to prepare participants to be able to identify overall management challenges faced by their’s police agencies and prepare concrete plans to deal with them. First lecture was on ‘Outline of Japanese Police’ Sh. Raja Babu Singh, DIG, ITBP (Sitting 2nd from covering it’s history, organization, personnel and left) during a seminar for foreign senior officer in training. Then other lectures were on topics like Criminal Japan from 3rdJune to 20th June, 2014 procedures, Community Police in Japan, Comprehensive in Japan Police, Disaster Countermeasures, Police measures for crime prevention, Educational Training Info-Communications, Japan Organized Crime GroupBoryokudan, Recruitment of Police Officers etc. All lectures were arranged at National Police Academy Tokyo. Then there was one field visit to Shimane Prefecture. There, first, we were taken to Shimane Prefecture Police Headquarters and were shown all sections of Prefecture Police Hqrs like Communication Command Center, Forensic Laboratory, Traffic Control Center & Criminal Identification Division. There we called on Chairperson of Public Safety Commission also. We were taken to pay our homage to martyred police officers also at Police Officers Memorial. Next day we visited Izumo Police Station, Izumo-Shi Ekimae Koban (Police Box) and Hinomisaki Chuzaisho (Residential Police Box). Last was visit to Shimane Prefecture Police School and Riot Police Squad. There were visits to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and Imperial Guard Headquarters also. Last session was of Action Report presentation. My Action report presentation was on topic ‘Measures to curb Juvenile Delinquency in India: Delhi as pilot project, by applying fine features of Japanese Police System’. Following are my observations(A) Peculiarities of Japan Police:♦♦ Japanese police operations are not conducted in an atmosphere of crisis and declining public confidence. ♦♦ The Japanese police display a pride in themselves Certificate awarded to Sh. Raja Babu Singh, DIG, that is quite remarkable. They are supremely selfITBP after successful completion of seminar for confident, not doubting the worth of police role in society or the public’s support of it. foreign senior officers in Japan twu & 2014 13 vkbZ-Vh-ch-ih- if=dk ♦♦ Police work in Japan is not only less demanding but it is also less dangerous. ♦♦ Police operations in Japan are based on a unique system of fixed police posts- Koban & Chuzaisho. ♦♦ The Japanese force is neighborhood-centered. Its personnel are deployed in fixed posts-koban-scattered throughout every community. The residential survey is a device for extending the koban’s knowledge of its community, for demonstrating the availability of police service. ♦♦ Koban are adaptive institutions, their character is shaped by the setting in which they are located. They are more than sources of emergency aid; they are community service facilities. ♦♦ When Japanese Police officers are out on patrol, their demeanor is self-effacing, low-key and unromantic. ♦♦ The lack of authoritative posturing by police officers is a reflection of general social mores; the Japanese seek to preserve privacy in public places. People move as inviolable units. ♦♦ Swearing and crude language is not common among Japanese police officers. ♦♦ Japanese police officers patrol only in public places like stations, streets and parks. They do not enter bars, restaurants or shops unless required to do so. ♦♦ Internal supervision is considerably more strict in Japan. Strict supervision entails special obligations for senior officers. Station chiefs are admonished when subordinates are arrested for driving off duty. ♦♦ Responsible behavior is secured in Japan by developing the allegiance of the individual to the work group in such a way as to legitimate its disciplinary claims on him and to intensify his feeling of obligation not to offend against it. ♦♦ National Public Safety Commission is the supreme body at the top supervising all police work. Then there are 47 Prefectural Public Safety Commissions to keep control on respective prefectural police organization. ♦♦ National Police Agency, as a national agency, formulates police systems and also conducts police operations regarding cases involving national public safety, undertakes the administration of matters which form the foundation of police activities such as police education and training, police communications, criminal identification as well as the development of police administration. ♦♦ Effects of Public Safety Commission Democratic control of the police. Political neutrality of the police. ♦♦ Then there are few other good features also of Japan Police like* Interrogation supervision system. * Citizen judge system. * Pretrial arrangement proceeding.

After melting snow at high reaches and glaciers various steams converted into a mighty river. Numbers of tourists from all over India and aboard attract towards its natural beauty including rivers. River banks are always a source of origin of human civilization. Some times these banks become the cause of devastation and destruction of human values. Drawing is common phenomena near the river banks particularly in monsoon period. In H.P. also, one side these rivers are source of huge power generation and on the other side they are known for their infamous accidents causing loss of human lives. the unit were immediately deployed about midway between Thalaut and Pandoh and they searched the river and rocks.

Laxaman Singh Yadav, Commandant 2nd Bn, ITBP addressing the Media about rescue operation in Thalaut, HP CHALLENGES:The Strong current of the Beas made it difficult for troops to search mid-stream.

After that we moved to Bada gaon area, short of Rampur Busher and imparted training in handling of Arms (.303 rifle) and also given firing practices to the senior students of the School. All such activities were an indirect way of motivating the locals. The locals, simple and honest, were very happy and had met our requirements of fresh item like vegetables, milk and fruit abundantly almost for a song or without a cost. I had enough opportunity to see a lot of countryside, meet with the locals and had observed their social, living and economic condition. OUR DAYS AT RAI: Apart from normal training as per syllabi, that we had undergone, Dy. Commandant, Mr. Arya, our Training Officer, had introduced us to many other matters that had become handy and useful in future ITBP life and after. To name a few: Table Manners, Dress Manners, General Manners and Etiquette; we were also introduced to ‘Contract Bridge’ and some of us learnt the game well. It was a helpful off-ground training. Sometimes on Sun days, we would be taken out for rabbit/duck shooting with .22 rifles, and Mrs. Arya, on many occasions had shown her magnificent culinary excellence on the victims. Mr. Arya was very honest, sincere and serious with all matters relating to our training and all round development. His talk on 'The Border Roads' and one lecture cum demonstration on the characteristics of a semi automatic rifle were amazing and an everlasting memory for me. His very exceptional knowledge on both the subjects had kept me spell-bound. The stripping and assembling of the weapon, functioning of all the parts would surpass any designated instructor on this subject, anytime, anywhere. Whether it was in Hindi or in English, his oratory capability was of exceptionally high quality. THE EATING FACTOR: Having noticed our intake of food in a formal dinner, one night Mr. Arya had commented “you people eat like pigs,” It was a casual remark and he never meant it. Otherwise also, whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner, our intake was enviable: two boiled eggs or omelette, two stuffed ‘parantha’ (a flattened bread made of wheat flour) with vegetables, egg, meat or milk products like cheese, ‘pannier’, evenly placed between two layers duly fried, and a good measure of vegetables additionally, almost half a liter of buffalo milk/curd and fruit apart, was our usual menu for breakfast and was hardly sufficient to twu & 2014 N. K. Bora, (Ex-Commandant) last for lunch break. Our intake of vegetarian lunch was also very generous. One day when we were preparing to go to the ‘Quarter Guard’ after a heavy lunch, to deposit the rifle (we used to come back for lunch straight from the training ground with all web equipments including the weapon) and then to our place for a rest during lunch-break. Then came a member of our training team and had informed we would be required to go for a 5Km BPET test (Battle Procedure Efficiency Test) right way, Mr. Arya and other members of the Training Team were already at the starting point. Mr. Arya further informed us to be at the ‘Rope-climbing area’ for rope climbing test immediately after the BPET. We were a “never say die” lot and had qualified the tests. But it was a lesson learnt for the rest of the training period. OUR NOCTURNAL ADVENTURE: The comment of Mr. Arya on the heavy eating habit though casual, was in our hearts. On formal parties we had never eaten more than one ‘chapatti’, a flattened piece of bread, locally called ‘chapatti’, it is made in same fashion as that of a ‘parantha’ except that it is roasted and not stuffed, is much lighter than a paratha. We would wait till the Chief Guest had finished his meals. After the dispersal of the Chief Guest, mostly the Commandant, and sometime, Mr. Arya, in the absence of the Commandant, then our “nocturnal adventure” would start: First thing on arrival at our tent was to get rid of the formal dinner dress, the button-up coat and the trouser which were a punishment in that climate, but then the Uniform is not for comfort, we had endured the agony. We would then go to the Mess again, tip-toed to the dining room located at the ground floor through a window. The Mess U.O. Hav. Hardev Singh who was responsible for the party management was forewarned to retain the entire meals intact for our ‘actual dinner’ and would polish off the food, ignoring all table manners and other related etiquettes. During training we were kept on our heels, toiled very hard all day long and being young, hence the enormous appetite and the abnormal eating factor. All such formal dinners were ‘Stag’; no family had ever participated in such get-togethers. THE BOXING SPORT: On appointment to ITBP, a batch of ACIO-II officers had joined Training Centre for the usual Training when we were halfway through. After some time, one day, we all were asked to go for Boxing without even any briefing on the Sport. There was no Ring, no Referee, no Teeth Guard and no Time Keeper and, so much so, the flat ground had no boundary limit. 19 vkbZ-Vh-ch-ih- if=dk Though it was agreed not to be aggressive with each THE EMERGENCY COMMISSIONED OFFICERS other, rather it would be like a ‘shadow boxing’ and that (ECO) FACTOR: was not to be so, during that process of ‘shadow boxing’ A large strength of ECOs was sent to our organization one was likely to come into contact on the face region once they could not qualify for a permanent Commission in the Army; likewise the BSF and CRPF had also had inadvertently; it did.

Some men from the camp had come to twu & 2014 21 vkbZ-Vh-ch-ih- if=dk the complex to serve us tea, a routine reception for those coming to the camp particularly during winter. The In-Charge of the Camp was expecting us and we reached in time for lunch. The valley where ‘Shri Badrinath Jii’ temple was located was a small and narrow one with dreadfully tall mountains part of which covered with snow on both sides. The straight vertical area of the peaks was bereft of any snow being steep where snow could not stick to, were standing like guards on both sides of the narrow valley. The ITBP camp was also located close by and the barren Rocky Mountains had surrounded the entire area. It was all white wherever my eyes could see and was not a treat to enjoy. The tranquil and composed environment and the climate had disheartened me. At this location the wind with very high speed would start blowing when the sun goes behind the tall mountains. Sometimes it become totally still; I felt the silence could also be heard. The vastness of the snow and the serenity, the vacant feelings had presented a gloomy scene in all directions. Even the clear sky was void of any bird! Around two in the afternoon, we were out to the open snow to build Igloo, the shelter in snow. We were not to spend the nights in barrack or bunkers; to stay out in improvised shelter was a part of our training and Mr Wardha was a very sincere and serious Training Officer. Away from the main camp, we had arrived at a place, selected by the course In-Charge for constructing Igloo for night shelter. The site was carefully selected to avoid chances of any avalanche. We had started pounding the selected site with our snow boots. That was very important as otherwise, if the surface remained uneven and when frozen, it would be like very hard, pointed rocks at night. I was wondering how a shelter could be constructed purely from the snow without any construction materials. Then we were asked to scoop out soft snow with a shovel and tap to shape a large brick. With snow gloves on, it was an easy task and we made a large number of ‘snow-bricks’ in no time. Two officers had started the ‘masonry’ work. Any projections that appeared on the interior wall surface, during the ‘masonry’ work, were simply wiped flat to make it a plane surface. We all were enjoying our architectural skill, totally forgetting the fatigue of the tracking earlier in the day. Engrossed with the work, I did not know when the sun had gone behind the dreadful mountains. The Igloo finally took a conical shape with enough space inside for us to spend the night. Some left over uneven projections inside was mopped flat with hands and the polished interior had looked like a plane glass surface. By then the snow had hardened and due to the hand-polish, the ‘snow bricks’ 22 were indistinguishable, it had blended completely and became a flat hardened and very smooth plane surface. There was a small opening, large enough to work as door and in front of the opening; a tall wall was erected, also with snow to prevent the strong wind from coming into our Igloo directly. The Igloo became dark and cold when night had set-in. A candle was lighted as substitute for a Kerosene lamp. With the lighting of a candle, the interior of the Igloo became very bright suddenly. It was hard to believe that a single candle would emit such brilliance and so much of warmth; we had forgotten the severity of the frost outside. Then I realized, the light was reflected and counter reflected millions of times by the plane mirror-like surface inside, that had increased the intensity of the light, so also the warmth. The Igloo was cosy and became very comfortable. I was sure, the Eskimos or the polar animals also found such shelter as comfortable too.

It has submitted a draft National Competition Policy and has sought to gain specific inputs and undertake evidence based advocacy to develop a competition advocacy strategy with the government and the private sector. To carry out evidence-based advocacy, sector specific studies have been conducted for which thirteen sectors/themes have been identified and the study on government procurement is one of them. The Government of India on its policy on government procurement, which would provide guidance to the current work programme and the future roadmap of government procurement policy in India and would strengthen the process as well as the content of implementation of the proposed Public Procurement law. To impart more transparency in the public procurement United Nation Organization (UNO) issued guidelines to the member of countries of “UNCTIRAL Model Law on Public Procurement”, and “The United Nations Convention Against Corruption, 2005”. Govt. of India, came up with, e-governance by creating smoother interface between government, citizen and business for SMART (Simple, Moral, Accountable, Responsive and Transparent) governance. Ministry of Communication and IT, Govt. of India, came up with, mission mode project (MMP) is an individual project within the National e-Governance Plan (N-e-GP) that focuses on one aspect of electronic governance, such as banking, land records or commercial taxes etc. Within NeGP, "Mission Mode" implies that projects have clearly defined objectives, scopes, and implementation timelines and milestones, as well as measurable outcomes and service levels. NeGP comprises 31 mission mode projects (MMPs), which are further classified as state, central or integrated projects. Each state government can also define five MMPs specific to its individual needs (may please ref. chart below). • Annexure to Unstarred Question No. 630 twu & 2014 Central MMPs • Banking A.P.S.

(http://deity.gov.in/content/mission-mode-projects) This MMP aims at making government procurement simplified, transparent, and result-oriented. It is being implemented through the Directorate General of Supplies & Disposals (DGS&D), a central purchasing organisation under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, which has core competency in procurement of goods and services. The objectives of the MMP are: • To establish a one stop-shop for all services related to government procurement. 27 vkb-ZVh-ch-ih- if=dk vkbZ-Vh-ch-ih- if=dk • To reduce cycle time and cost of procurement. • To enhance transparency in government procurement. • To enhance efficiency of procurement. • To bring about procurement reform across the government. The e-Procurement MMP will cover all aspects of procurement from indent of tender to tender preparation, bidding, bid evaluation and award of contract. In light of the CVC mandate that all Departments publish their tenders on the internet, the MMP will deploy extensive security features for encryption and decryption of bids, and digital signatures. What is e-Procurement? Confusion exists in defining the term e-Procurement . While the terms “e-Procurement” and “e-Purchasing” have been used synonymously in many jurisdictions in an attempt to prove their involvement in the e-Commerce revolution, the term “Purchasing” has a narrower scope. e-Procurement refers to the use of Internet-based (integrated) information and communication technologies (ICTs) to carry out individual or all stages of the procurement process including search, sourcing, negotiation, ordering, receipt, and post-purchase review. While there are various forms of e-Procurement that concentrate on one or many stages of the procurement process such as e-Tendering, e-Marketplace, e-Auction/ Reverse Auction, and e-Catalogue/Purchasing, e-Procurement can be viewed more broadly as an end-to-end solution that integrates and streamlines many procurement processes throughout the organization. Although the term “end-to-end e-Procurement” is popular, industry and academic analysts indicate that this ideal model is rarely achieved and e-Procurement implementations generally involve a mixture of different models.

Today most of the people know much about HIV/AIDS, Cancer diseases but are less aware about Hepatitis- B. While Hepatitis- B is also a disease about which we must have awareness. It mainly affects & damages the liver. Liver is also one of the vital organs of Human body. Just like HIV positive, sometimes it goes on silent way for years but keep on damaging our liver. Ultimately when we come to know till then the major part of liver has already been damaged by Cirrhosis or it may develop Hepatocellular Carcinoma (liver cancer) morbid Jaundice, Hepatic Coma and ultimately death. It also cannot be cured completely but by detecting itin early stage, there are medicines by which we can improve the quality of life and survival by controlling the progress of disease. So to know all this, first of all it is necessary to know something about this disease to 36 make larger portion of society aware about HepatitisB. Hepatitis- B is a common disease that has a devastating and wide spread impact on public health. Worldwide over 350 million people are chronically infected with Hepatitis- B. It is caused by HepatitisB virus (HBV). Which is strictly human Hepatotropic Virus (attacks human liver only) member of the Hepadna virus family. Transmission of Hepatitis- B occurs through contaminated blood transfusion, use of contaminated syringes and needles, sharing of needles among intravenous drug users, needles used for tattooing, acupuncture, unsterilized instruments used at dental clinic, unprotected sexual contacts (where multiple sex partners of either person of couple or when any one person of couple got infected by Hepatitis- B by any other means) . There is vertical transmission also that is from mother to child during delivery. Thus the persons at risk are: ♦♦ Health care staff. ♦♦ Frequent blood transfusion recipients. ♦♦ Persons collecting and handling waste and household wastes. ♦♦ Persons & residents of social-medical institutions. ♦♦ Subjects at increased risk due to sexual behavior. ♦♦ Intravenous drug users. ♦♦ The travellers to regions with high endemic area. ♦♦ HIV positive or HCV positive patients. ♦♦ All those in close proximity to patient with hepatitis- B (e.g.) family members. ♦♦ Thus for protection : ♦♦ We should always use disposable syringes & needles. ♦♦ Health care staff or persons collecting & handling waste must use proper gloves. ♦♦ Wherever possible the disposable instruments must be used. ♦♦ Every pregnant lady must be tested for HepatitisB during third trimester of pregnancy. Because now we can protect the baby delivered from Hepatitis- B+ve mothers by giving the baby Hepatitis –B vaccine & anti Hepatitis- B immunoglobulin just after birth. ♦♦ In the event of recent confirmed or suspected twu& 2014 vkb-Z vkbZ-VVh-ch-ihh-ch-ih- if=dk contamination, anti-Hepatitis- B immuno globulins are often administered. ♦♦ Medical and all Paramedical staff should get Hepatitis-B Vaccine. ♦♦ All age group people may get vaccinated with Hepatitis –B vaccine. It is given in three doses i.e.0-1-6 months duration. It is the preventive measure, as “the prevention is better than cure”. Screening of Hepatitis- B cases: It can be done by blood test i.e., HBsAg test. If anybody found HBsAg positive then that person must undergo further test to find out severity of disease by liver function test, HBcAg & serum HBVDNA Polymerase quantitative Test , to find out viral load. So that accordingly the treatment i.e., Antiviral drugs can be given to control the disease& to improve the quality of life & Survival. Keeping in view this fact of early detection of disease a free Hepatitis- B testing camp was organized at unit Hospital of 10thBN on 20.02.2014 & 21.02.2014 with the help of OASIS, which is an independent organization working for Hepatitis- B education & awareness for Healthy Liver. The camp was inaugurated by SH.R K Shah, DIG RTC Kimin. A medical lecture was delivered by DR. (MRS.) Shashi Mehar, CMO (SG) about awareness & preventive aspects ofHepatitis- B. During camp all officers, SO’s, OR’s along with their family members of 10TH BN & RTC Kimin, Recruits (Under Training at RTC Kimin, Teachers with their family members& Students of Central School Kimin, Civilians from nearby Village Budh Bazar &Kimin (Total 1118) all were tested free of cost. Everybody participated very enthusiastically. During camp among all groupssome cases were found positive for Hepatitis- B.The positive cases were advised for further course of action & sent for further test and treatment. nl egRoiw.kZ fcUnq thou mins'k bZ'kku vjksjk d{kk 5 vaxszth ds nl v{kjksa dk lcls vko';d 'kCn Confidence bls vftZr djsaA ukS v{kjksa dk lcls 'kfDr'kkyh 'kCn Knowledge bls izkIr djsaA vkB v{kjksa dk lcls [kjkc 'kCn Jealousy blls nwjh cuk;saA lkr v{kjksa dk lcls dBksj ifjJeh 'kCn Success bls izkIr djsaA Ng v{kjksa dk lcls [krjukd 'kCn Roumour blls nwj jgsaA ik¡p v{kjksa dk lcls vf/kd izlUu djus okyk 'kCn Smile bls lnk ikl j[ksaA pkj v{kjksa dk lcls vf/kd iz;ksx gksus okyk 'kCn Love bls egRo nsaA rhu v{kjksa dk lcls vf/kd fo"kkUr 'kCn Ego bls u"V djsaA nks v{kjksa dk lcls vf/kd larqf"V iznku djus okyk 'kCn We bldk iz;ksx djsaA ,d v{kj dk lcls vf/kd LokFkhZ 'kCn I bldh mis{kk djsaA twu & 2014 izKk vjksjk d{kk 10 loksZRre fnu lcls cM+k iki lcls [krjukd oLrq lcls mi;qDr le;
