I am making a reference to Shri MG
Diwan. This is not the only one and the
last. There are several references to be
made.
At Calicut it was Shri AR Menon
who has helped me. Shri Menon was never
a spokesperson of the conventional group in LIC. Those following the conventional theory of
office working would sanction passenger train fare for travel to Mumbai if
original ticket is not produced.(Referred in my Post titled " 'Received' Rs.42/- from LIC of India".) The
bureaucrats at the Southern Zonal Office did exactly the same thing to me. Do they have an ‘audit’ mind there!
Chairman's offer
Shri MG Diwan, Chairman, LIC,
wanted to sanction me a project of my liking.
PS to Chairman Ms. Damania telephoned to the M.S. Department to ascertain
from them whether I wanted to do any specific work after returning to
Calicut. If I had any such project in
mind, what would be the financial implications.
I was asked to submit the details. (Earlier Shri J. Purushothaman, then
Secretary, M.S. Department, Central Office had asked me to join Central Office and
work from there.)
But the telephone call from Ms.
Damania was received at a totally unexpected moment. I could never anticipate any such offer from
the Central Office although I was visiting CO as per official invitation
received from them.Chairman's offer not utilized.
I had no project in my mind. And so, I could not immediately reply or
spell out details of any project. Even
after returning to Calicut, I could not work out and submit details of any project .
And our Chairman Shri M.G. Diwan’s offer was never utilized.
I remember Shri Diwan with gratitude.
