Achievements as SDO Alipurduar (2004-2005)

Sanitation, self-help group formation, developmental work, office renovation, better law and order, public demands recovery, issuance of SC/ST certificates, closure of illegal health-related practices were something where personal initiative, increased monitoring and activism did have positive impact. I along with the local ACMOH took action against the illegal medical practice of unqualified doctors, pathological laboratories and medical shops and many other such illegal practices.
Pulse polio has markedly improved after some personal initiatives including better coordination and monitoring. I got involved local NCC, Scouts, school/college students for campaigning, motivating and bringing the children to the booths.
I took personal initiatives for promotion of consumer rights and enforcement of ban against plastic as specified by the govt.
My personal initiatives have some momentum to the local tourism industry here. These include organization of three tourism festival including one Govt-sponsored one i.e. Tista-Ganga festival. The other two include Dooars Utsav and Jaldapara Utsav. We have encouraged the training of guides, tourism survey, preparation of literature on local tourism-related infrastructure.
Creation and strengthening of certain agencies for popular participation/for promotion of human resources e.g. made Red Cross financially viable; created and strengthened Meritorious Students Fund for helping poor and meritorious students; created SMART, a youth body for their personality development; got sub-divisional sports body more participatory and democratic;
Took initiatives in the re-opening of some closed tea gardens resulting in Srinathpur, Mujnai and Madhu TG reopening as well as preempting the closure of some by getting actively involved in the reconciliation negotiations between the union and the management.
