When constructive vision is driven by passion, impossibility goes into oblivion. This aptly described the work of the Indo-German Focal Point (IGFP) before its Advisory Board here on June 7, 2019 with an idea of safety and health of families which form foundation of any nation’s progress.
Attended by among others, economist, thinker and politician Panchanan Kanungo, senior BJD leader and MLA Amar Satapathy, social activist Ranjan Mohanty, and Ashok Sahu spoke highly about the precision and clarity about the road-map on which the organization is working today.
The architect of this edifice, Sh B K Sahu, in his passionate best narrated the sequence of events which have hitherto come up in collaboration with German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) in ensuring safety to construction workers, workers in industry, and also occupational safety and health, said the nascent organization of just two years has already travelled to various parts of the country covering 19 states. Now it has a national programme almost every month scheduled to be held at various places in the country, Sh Sahu added.
Appreciating the idea, Sh Satapathy said the target audience requirement has to be carefully studied as their health is being taken care of. Satapathy assured all possible assistance from the government in effective implementation of the project proposals.
This was supported by Sh Kanungo saying practical approach and education along with strict implementation of laws as regards safety must involve all workers, management and also the government.
Sh Sahu being a man of experience in the field with his civil service background assured that the forthcoming programmes would take into consideration how to plug the loopholes in administrative framework and the ground level to achieve what is envisioned by the organization.
It is a excellent initiative for betterment of working life. I am grate full Mr.B. K. Sahu for his kind invitation.
