The Dean Dr. Arun Jamkar has to sink or swim

What is dithering the Dean Dr. Arun Jamkar from taking disciplinary action

Whispers doing the round in the Sassoon General Hospital and the BJ Medical College is about the meek attitude of the Dean Dr. Arun Jamkar from taking strong disciplinary action against the Deputy Medical Superintendent Dr. P.B. Burute.

A little bird says that Dr. Jamkar has a snobbish attitude and a tendency to first act strong and then bow and plead forgiveness from staff against whom he had initiated action. "He is a very weak and failed administrator. Much was expected from him, but that has ended in disappointment. Dr. Jamkar lacks the guts, courage and determination to catch the bull by its horn," said a Professor while discussing Dr. Jamkar in the corridors of the Dean's office.

What makes the Dean crumble, tumble and go on his knees in a pleading motion, is not understood. What prevents him from taking a firm and strong disciplinary action against the Deputy Medical Superintendent, against whom there are huge log of evidences for malpractices, corruption, misuse of power and authority in black and white.

The problem as another senior Professor of the college said that Dr. Jamkar has a crotorie of stupid, idiot and ignorant advisors around him. He does not use his own brain though he is on the verge of retirment. The most foolish and incompetent advisor he has is the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) said a senior Lecturer.

Nothing will improve in the Sassoon General Hospital or the BJ Medical College, until and unless the Dean corrects himself and excercises his authority and power with an iron hand. A feeble and helpless Dean would only destroy further the already deteoriating image of the hospital and college.

Will the government wake up atleast now? The need of the day is for the Honorable Minister for Finance Mr. Dilip Walse Patil to intervene and advise the government to take immediate steps to streamline a falling administration and administrator.
