INNOVATION; MBA__ADMINISTRATION AND MANGEMENT:
ON SAFETY AND SECURITY OF PERSONS/Personnel
AND THEIR BELONGINGS;
INCLUSION AS A SUBJET MATTER
IN THE MBA MAIN STREAM OF STUDIES-
ARTICLE (Part:1):Industrial security system and Intelligence Services: safety and security of the personnel-physical and personal through administrative and management system:
In so far as the Human Body is concerned, whether it is of the male, female, child, it has its own Values and Cultures, safety and security in the society; it is now well accepted formulae that the Medical science and Technology has specifically and in particular recognized its value and merits. They have advance their steps in Human Body utilization through S&T for obtaining, taking the entire/part of the body’s parts, in whole or in loose parts, at a particular required time or from time to time as and when required by them.
The Human Body, alive or dead, as required by the medical professionals, make use the same which include blood, tissues, platelets, and other parts like the kidneys, limbs, etc or other contents whether with the knowledge of the person or relatives, known persons…This type of utilization of Human Body parts or blood, tissues, etc, might have become a boon for some one (owners of the body) but in fact has found to have become a doom to others; and for some others, who goes for adaptation of illegal means a business tycoon. It has found to have become just like that of a sausage.
At times, news appeared goes to show that the matter of extraction of the human body’s parts etc goes savagely, money’s worth splices by the vested interests or by splinter groups. Some say that even the umbilical cord is also useful in medical science and technology system during grafting, transplantation, anatomy, autopsy, therapeutics, experimental research and the like.
Now it has become a patent like thing-‘Human Body’ as property, living or dead for most of the matters.
Like in the medical terminology the human body is most useful on many matters, but if once it is commercialized for a price in the market in future like any other commodity, where shall we stand? But for Gods sake, one shall not Value the Body or its parts, living or dead, with some ’Price’ or its cause to be equated with its effects; with growing and unabated illegal trends in Human Body extraction activities as seen in news papers and cinemas on various reasons, it is comprehending/felt that old saying about the Property concept is also being applied to Human Body and that of slavery system is found to be recycling, if not now, but in future if one shall ignore all the illegal, corrupt practices, just by ignoring medical ethics and mayhem with all precondition’s and records, slogan Mayday comes in.
No one is found to be thinking of the future on these issues and the issue concerning to the safety and physical security of persons while they work for an organization or while they in a recognized Arena, like the train platforms, while traveling in a train, on road; security system has become on no mans land, either the State nor the Centre takes its full pledged responsibility and liability to safe guard the interests of the rail passengers while on platform or in a train; then how about their personal belongings being carried with them. It is opined that on this aspect industrialist, intellectuals, the VIPs/VVIPS, Indian Railways for its rail passenger, the States/Central government, MBAs, Bureaucrats and the like might have not taken serious view or might be ‘hare-brained’.
Let there be a Law/Act to make one single and uniformed Police Force( now-two-GRP-State’s governments & RPF-Centre) over the Indian Railways to deal with all the Law & Order and crime matters duly making the Force to work under one command, one Competent Authority as aspired in 2006 by the (Former) Honorable President of India while presenting Colours to the RPF.
Just observe the seminars, conferences, meetings and a lot on international level or with in India, or organized by the departments, Ministries etc, there shall be no representative from the Security /force and if present, he shall be figure head, with out comments on security aspect, etc. If any security related question arises, they just pass it on to the Police/or the person present to look into it and that is all, the matter is treated as closed.
Most of the Industries, Organizations, Companies, Banks, Public/Private sectors, Governmental Bodies, utilizes the services of Private Security Services through Contract/outsourcing system, a few utilize the services of the CISF, and the Indian Railways in addition to the RPF, GRP, also utilize Private Security services at some selected Arena.
It is opined that most of the MBAs, Bureaucratic, including the PSOs, Banks, Indian Railways, have at any time made any serious debate on this type of vital issues in their top level conferences, seminars , any person raised the issues concerning the Act on Private Security Agencies prevailing in India, and its utilization, and or about the personal/physical safety and security of the persons working for their industry or for that reason about the rail passengers in and around their premises and in trains; the safety aspect to them found to about the fire safety, mechanical/equipment safety etc.
Leave alone on this issues, whether any State Government’s Police System verified and checked any of the Private Security Agencies in the real context of the applicability of the Act-‘The Private Security Agencies (regulation)Act, 2005, and its Rules; whether any State Government made out /adopted these Rules to suit to them, are some of opinions/questions raised during some discussions.
Whether any Organization, industry etc. while engaging one or the other Private Security personnel to work in their establishment verified the Agencies’ records of its management details, record of security guards, supervisors, customers incoming and outgoing ,vehicles, duty roster, photo IDs, its verification, finger prints, license of the Security Agencies engaged by them issued by the State Government/Police, training certificate of security guards issued by the Licensed Training Agency/Police, Character and Antecedent Certificate issued by the State Police Authority, individual self declaration certificate about their previous working, training, integrity, etc., It is opined that they find no time to verify on such matters.
VIPs/VVIPs/other Dignitaries, including some private persons are being protected and safeguarded—personal and physical security by one or more Police personnel with or without arms as per their entitlement.
This personal safety and security guarding system for them is adopted to secure the person’s safety and security from internal or external attacks wile they are at home, or in office, or while on travel by road, by train, or while they move on roads,processions,rallies,demonstrations,exhibitions,inspections,melas,and the like.
Their physical Body is well guarded by the security personnel from all corners even while they are on dais, platforms, trains, etc.
Why then the same security is not extended to the staff, the rail passengers, the men at work in the industries, etc. There shall be a Systematized security system for them also.
In the MBA manifesto also there shall be subject included as a specialization on the personal/personnel safety and security aspect in its administration and management system.
ARTICLE(Part:2):Industrial security system and intelligence Services
In any industry or organization, security system and adaptation of Intelligence deployment is found be most neglected system and poorly employed with meager perks and fully depending on one or the other unorganized Security Agencies/Forces or through Contractors’ Agencies who might have not even registered their names in accordance with “The Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005”, but they form as a part and parcel of big establishments, Organizations with sophisticated security systems and well established and (un) trained personnel with all the required mandatory Data as per the above Act.
They may be from ex-Army, Police, CPOs/other Armed Forces of the Union of India, and the like but, it may and should have been a concern of a well organized organization to check up their registration and dealings as per the guide lines laid in the above Act.
The present system of working in any industry by any professional or for that reason any personnel is to get more and more perks and they are in fact found to be least bothered or interested to find out the ways and means to apply their awareness and mind to bring growth to the organization by which they are employed. This matter is in respect of personal safety and security of their employees while inside and/or out side their Arena. What ever their level of the management cadre, they first think of their purse, take home salary and other ways and means to come closer to the Boss and as to how to get higher and higher positions or promotions.
For this type, they tend to express their work capabilities and workmanship only to that extent and till such time they get higher perks and upgraded with higher position. Their aim is found to be to work with such and such organization/s for such a period say around 4-5 years and get themselves recognized or organize their know how on their professional matters of interest and look for the right time to jump over to any other organization for extra perks and elevation which may include, a chance and leap to serve in other Organizations/countries and so on.
At this point of juncture itself the organizations security and inside story is becoming as the target and how much of the matters are discussed out side the office hours as gossip is not taken care of by the Management or its Managers/ Board of directors. They feel that it is a matter of routine in nature. That is all. There the actual story of Intelligence matters are leaked out or to that matter the security aspect, management weakness, exposure are coining out.
May be, the information talked about is of any importance or not, to the person/personnel who spell out, the same is openly discussed, including that of the boss/heads of the departments, other weaknesses, their family history, and the people’s movements. The Competent Security personnel and their words who have been employed are not taken into confidence by the management, or by the Board of Directors; their presence and suggestions or the advice on security aspects are least taken for discussion which include the intelligence gathered on the industry’s physical and or on personnel working patterns and so on… In most of the conferences, meetings, seminars the security personnel presence is not sought for unless and until the management feel of insecurity…
Even if, by chance, are present in such meetings, they are asked not to open up their minds unless they ask to do so, and even if they ventilate their news about some personnel, it was just ignored and at times, the person (against whom the information was given in adverse) was asked to be careful as he is being watched.
There may be some differential equations between the working system and security deployment between the Central/State Governmental Organizations and the private/or the public sector organizations. But in most of the systems, the internal, the physical security of men and materials and that of the organization’s safety and security is a matter of concern.
In these days of competitive Intelligence hangovers and economic or industrial bypassing and awaiting a chance for intrusion, lean- over, take-over, the security systems and services are found to be playing a vital role under ground even with out the knowledge of the management and they(their working system) are not leak proof.
Insiders or to that matter, the family members, are the most targeted persons by the opponents, who are outwardly and in open terms seems to be the best coordinators, or the partners in all matters.
Industrial or education tours, visits by important persons accompanied by un known persons at specific intervals is the most watch dog situation for an industry who have not adopted to utilize the sophisticated intelligence trained security personnel.
Physical security of men, their material/belongings, and that of the industry is very much important, but it is also very much essential to get good intelligence officers, whose integrity shall be tested by reputation and not by the medals, ranks, status, position, and other rewards. The overt and the covert acts of the insiders and also the outsiders-visiting the organizations on one or the pretext or for the expansion, business deals, research scholars, celebrities, is also to be under watch dog system.
At least some of them (of the Management) are the soft persons through whom the matters are leaked out. This type of intelligence system working is not for material gain, but aimed to find out the ways and means to get the loop holes to be used in future course or when time permits and bounce upon for its merger, closure, etc. Even at these junctures, the security services, and the personnel utilized are of no use to the organization, as they are useful for nothing and not meant or trained for such activities.
This is at times used as competitive intelligence network through individuals or group of highly placed persons, against whom the lower or middle management security personnel have no approach to them. That is the weakness of the organization, which had no fore thought on such developments. Gathering information/intelligence is an Art- a systemized way of approach of the weak minded or the persons on some need-or who are/ can be pinned down for the three Ws-wealth, wine and women or of such nature. This Art cannot be equated with any matter of procedural practices, which can be just trained and adopted by specialized personnel alone, who are being utilized by the other organizations, even who/they might of in friendly nature, including partners?
No organization, to my knowledge and belief is found to be having specially employed any such security system personnel who are being utilized for collection of intelligence, assimilation or dissemination on matters of security system of its organizational set up so far.
In intelligence gathering on what ever subject or matter, there can be no legal or illegal means which are designed to be adopted or not to be adopted. The matters depend on the organizational set up of standards, its status, economic, and on competitiveness over national or international systems. All the matters depend upon the situation and the person on whom they are going to be taped or tapped, or dented upon.
It is not to be misunderstood as trapped, before tapping, they find out all types of information, weakness, rigidity, and the religious background, disgruntled or dissatisfied personnel, susceptible to or not, but they sanitize the matters and adopt suitable forms to suit to the situation of adoptability, etc.
Espionage, sabotage, other types of criminal activities shall not be clubbed with the security and intelligence working as they are to be dealt separately and independently like counter intelligence, surveillance, counter espionage, cyber crimes, white collar crimes, etc; they shall have to be dealt separately even though they may overlap or inter related in terms and on working aspect.
Economic imbalance, auditors reports, taxes, customs, tenders, in fights for power and authority, trade union activities, for and/or against the management, logistics--adjustments, or theft of materials, machinery failures, present trends of contract/outsourcing systems-- of personnel, drivers, cabs, are some of the fields where they might be interested and a tool for targeting its down fall, or surrender to others, etc.
Most of Organizations, including that of the Governmental Bodies, PSOs, does not adopt or go for their Vehicle’s GPR/GPRS system, may be that most of the vehicles are being taken on hire and being utilized for their personal/private purpose, usage, and with out log books and if this GPRS system introduced their movements are and shall be on record. They may feel to hide them.
In this aspect one has no say on the white collar criminals of the organization’s-insiders who adopt, or opt for wrongful gain, personal gain, and having become easy to contributory or compromiser’s formulae with others and such person’s identity and exposure may become a problematic issue which may ultimately reflect on its- management working aspect itself.
This may lead to lot of panic in the heads of the departments, chair-person and the CMD/or MDs and weeding out such personnel shall become a gigantic task with out getting the matter leaked out.
It was brought out that most of the companies now a day are inclined for employing their own security personnel, on the apprehensions that this may lead to have rights and privileges at par with that of other employees, and to cut short all these matters leaning toward engaging the private security services on contract or outsourcing basis. This may in most of the cases are going unchecked and leading to corrupt practices at all levels.
It may be that the contractor or outsourcing agencies show on record such and such number of security personnel but actually engage only one third or even less staff and the amounts they such receive shall be shared with the company’s head and others connected. They do not even maintain proper record about their provident fund account or the employee’s state insurance or health cards, attendance registers, muster rolls, duty registers, etc.
If any of the employee make hue and cry on his PF returns and repayments, the same shall be arranged on matching/fictitious names. It was also brought that the same guards are rotated in shifts at two or three different companies or organizations by showing different names and other ranks.
It was told that if the company’s dealers are still greedy, they may even create some non exiting contractors or the outsourcing agencies, make out some other records to show that the security guards were deployed in their organization for some period and get their payments passed and en cashed. In such cases, they informed that there shall be no contract agreements, quotations, no news paper quotes, but just utilize their powers and authority to the maximum limitation of amounts and manage the Boss with pleasant matters.
If the company’s interests run through in organizing their man power through some fictions/fictitious contractor and/or outsourcing agencies, they select interested parties who make out all the formalities on some names, which may be existing one, or non existing persons or companies, and formulate their signatures as of the outsourcing agency/contractor showing some fictitious company names with some addresses, including their house address as their working office/headquarters.
Herein, it was also informed that the organizational heads, at some times/places are leaning toward white collar criminality-corrupt practices through wicked minded contractors or the outsourcing agencies for their wrongful gain. They found to be adopting various dubious methods only for material or personal gain.
I have seen some advertisement given by Wipro for establishing their own security personnel, but it is not whether they succeeded or not.

FEATURE FOR FUTURE; DISCARD NONE IN LIFE:
The one who has the power of realization is the one who can bring transformation.
When something goes wrong we immediately begin to look for excuses, or explanations, why that mistake happened. This finishes our power of realization and we will not be able to recognize our own mistake. Then we will not be able to work at improving ourselves and we will not be able to bring any transformation.
Instead of looking for excuses for what all happened, we need to take the opportunity to check within ourselves and see our own mistake(s). When we recognize our mistake, however small it may be, we will be able to work on it. Only when we are able to realize our own mistake, will we be able to bring about transformation in ourselves.
(A): Did YOU feel INSULTED:
· At one place or the other, or on some occasions you might have been insulted or you have felt in yourself that you have been insulted, but for the reasons not exposed, you kept quite or digested the insult, but, still, you are not happy about it- the happening- the incident and you are unable to forgive or forget about the person(s), and so on:
· The INSULT, the words, is only a vibration in the air, just touching to your heart, the heart-breaking words; it is nothing but actually feeling a physical pain in the region of the heart. It occurs only when we does not compromise with the words spoken against or toward us, this is insult only when our discrimination has in fact failed us to understand in retrospective or prospective or when our mind thoughts stopped Yoga and meditation aspects:
· When we feel insulted and then utilize the Sadhana and retire into seclusion for a while and reflect our Guru-the soul and retrieve the matters in all the ways-- that;
· He/ or they insulted only my body, mind and little self, I did not loose any self respect at all, who are they to talk about me, I am not that;
· He can not insult my real self, the soul, because he himself is my own self; I shall make best use of it to analyze it;
· By insulting my little self, he is really helping me in dissociating with it;
· His insult has enabled me to come face to face with my own egoism, my interaction with my soul, God has given me an opportunity to crush it once for all;
· The only new point of version, now I discovered is—he has pointed out openly to me what he considers/considered as a defect in me; he has given me an opportunity to analyze the same for myself;
· O’ God, I am always thankful to him:
· Now, I do not get irritated and I shall not get angry and console my self and my soul:
(B): SUCCESS at our door step:
· Success never goes or runs away for you, unless you move, run away from it;
· To have success in your life- always ask questions for your self, discriminate between the good, the bad and the worst;
· Set goals, be a team leader and the best of all learn to be a team player first;
· Always try to listen to directions, follow through on the assignments, then success follows you;
· Have faith in the working system. Faith grows only when you use it;
· Be courageous and no looking back, it takes you to your goals and you reach the destiny;
· Courage makes you to stand up and speak boldly and with out fear, as fear is a contagious disease;
· Courage and fearlessness, both take you to sit down with calmness, steady mind and listen, and then act;
· Life is great, make use of it and make the most of it;
· Try to discover your weakness and rectify for future;
· Do not expose or explore your weaknesses to others, even to dear ones; life is precious and let them not use it to down grade you, think always that some one is awaiting to let you down;
· Always stop making and contributing excuses and explanations.
(C): YOU are there for me always: rather I did not miss YOU:
· The happiness that is coming from inner peace and believing in yourself, and that I did not miss you;
· What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other, even still apart, we are together;
· A special bond holds us together, un separable by any means, a bond that grew from within, from whispered confidence, from fights and squabbles;
· You made my mind a wonderful place for you, and now also I am stronger just always, knowing that you are there within me;
· I wish you the sort of happiness and the joy, the happiness that comes from success and celebrations, and showing the world what you can do, for me of course;
· The happiness that comes from being loved and part of a meaningful relationship, we are though apart;
‘JUST HOW I FEEL- OF YOU AND FOR YOU’:
· Thank you sweetheart, just for believing in me, when I found it difficult to believe in myself::::
· Thank you for saying what I have needed to hear sometimes, instead of what I have wanted to hear…, thank you for siding with me and forgiving me, “ I love you”::::::::::; still…….
(D): BE HE LEADER AND NOT ALWAYS THE BOSS:
· The boss drives his men, the leader inspire them;
· The boss depends on authority, the leader depends on goodwill;
· The boss evokes fear, the leader radiates love;
· The boss says “I”, the leader says “We”;
· The boss shows who is wrong, the leader shows what is wrong;
· The boss knows how it is done, the leader knows how to do it;
· The boss demands respect, the leader commands respect…..
· Still to fill up the blank place--- the leader is always with you, always and
· all ways::::
Industrial security system and intelligence services/adaptation:
In any industry or organization, security system and intelligence deployment is found be most neglected system and poorly employed with meager perks and fully depending on one or the other unorganized security Forces or Agencies who have not even registered their names in accordance with “The Private Security agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005”, but they form as a part of big establishments with sophisticated security systems and well established and trained personnel.

No organization, to my knowledge and belief is found to have specially employed any such security system personnel who are being utilized for collection of intelligence, assimilation or dissemination on matters of security system of its organizational set up so far. These include systemized installation and monitoring of the equipments and so on.
In intelligence gathering on what ever subject or matter, there can be no legal or illegal means which are designed to be adopted or not to be adopted. The matters depend on the organizational set up of standards, its status, economic, and on competitiveness over national or international systems.

Espionage, sabotage, other types of criminal activities shall not be clubbed with the security and intelligence working as they are to be dealt separately and independently like counter intelligence, surveillance, counter espionage, cyber crimes, white collar crimes, etc shall have to be dealt separately even though they may overlap or inter related in terms and working aspect.

In this aspect one has no say on the white collar criminals of the organization’s-insiders who adopt, or opt for wrongful gain, and having become easy to contributory or compromiser’s formulae with others and such person’s identity and exposure may become a problematic issue which may ultimately reflect on its working aspect itself.
