AN Appointed CAG of India – Curious Case of V.K. Shunglu

18112013
AN Appointed CAG of India – Curious Case of V.K. Shunglu
November18, 2013When at an International Event on Corruption VK Shunglu replied to a
question that  he is running an NGO that helps poor get Ration Cards
– to me a retired CAG was Extreme Idiot who couldn’t find any
Appropriate Cause going by his past stature in public life so it was
Curious Case of VK Shunglu that need investigation. He was not
expected to take any Public Office after retirement from CAG in 2002.
In another ANNEXURE Bureaucrats in India RUN all Executive Decision
Making – Invariable Incompetent or Not Qualified.
It is worst form of Corruption when people like Shunglu forbidden from
taking any public office post retirement at 65 (2002 in case of VK
Shunglu) when they are Least Qualified by way of Education – MA
History background – to this INVENTOR are Extreme IDIOTS.
      My first intervention was – Giving all LICENSES to 4-5 Families is
the Worst Form of Corruption on Earth. Even companies with no
Technical Qualifications and History of frauds and cheating were MADE
ELLIGIBLE for all the licenses.
      My second intervention was -  Most corruption is due to Bad
Policies and their Manupulations & Implementations. Allocation of Coal
Blocks for example SASAN UMPP was allocated Coal Blocks having 800
million tones of coal against requirement of 400 million tones.
    My third intervention was – Right Design & Technology of Projects
could cut down corruption by 90% to 95% leaving little margin for
corruption – risk too much for too little reward.
V.K. SHUNGLU – Born March16, 1937, MA History
A person with no Engineering and Science amplitude who ought to have
RETIRED in 1997 is TAKING EXECUTIVE DECISIONS of Technical &
Engineering kind till today.
    As CAG he over saw how Ambani was given ALL LICENSES EVEN AS It had
no Experience, Expertise & Equipment.
    As CAG he let Companies Edge Out RETAIL shareholders in equity
holdings of companies.
    As CAG he FAILED to PROTECT INTELLECTUAL Property of Indians.
    As CAG he failed to ensure Companies Sell Their Produce Directly to
buyers & Consumers.
    At age 70 yrs he was again made Chairman – he failed to NOTICE OVER
DESIGN of Narmada Main Canal WHICH IS GROSSLY Under Utilized. In the
attached ANNEXURE – Gujarat is not even developing 1% of Irrigation
Potential in last few years – Narmada Canal Network will never Built
Due Faulty Design was Documented by me in 1999 itself and widely
distributed.

    At age 76 yrs he again Chaired another LAME DUCK Committee on T&D
Losses and Power Tariff.
    T&D Losses had gone up because India stopped developing Multipurpose
Dams with Power Irrigation and Flood Control features. Fossil Fuels
provide electricity to run tube-wells for Irrigation, there was Check
on Demand of Season Consumers who run scores of Air-conditioners or
Heaters and Shops open from 10AM to 8PM when 9-12 and 15-18 hours
working can avoid peak demand served by Gas or Coal fired power
plants.

    Shunglu Report on Sardar Sarovar Project REHAB – He firstly ignored
OVER DESIGN of Narmada Canal System as CAG for 6 years and again as
Chairman of PAP – 2006 and so many hearings in Tribunal & Apex Courts
FAILED to NOTICE Narmada Canal System is Hugely & Wastefully Over
Designed.
    Sardar Sarovar Dam is being for 4 decades is OVER DESIGNED FOUR
TIMES – as per NWDT award which FORGET to account for EVAPORATION Loss
in Four Dams dedicated to supply Narmada Waters which is 2 BCM – it
should normally be charged to Gujarat & Rajasthan account reducing
supplies by 19% to 20% at canal head itself. Gujarat required 10,000
cusecs canal system but is building 40,000 cusec system.

The salary and other conditions of service of the CAG are determined
by the Parliament of India through “The Comptroller and
Auditor-General’s (Duties, Power and Conditions of Service) Act,
1971″. As per the act, his salary is the same as salary of a Judge of
Supreme Court of India. Neither his salary nor rights in respect of
leave of absence, pension or age of retirement can be varied to his
disadvantage after his appointment. The CAG is not eligible for
further office either under the Government of India or under the
Government of any State after he has ceased to hold his office. These
provisions are in order to ensure the independence of CAG.

VK Shunglu – Tenure as CAG 1996 to March15, 2002
V. K. Shunglu (Retd. IAS) served as Comptroller & Auditor General of
India until March 15, 2002. Mr. Shunglu serves as the Chairman at
ASREC (India) Limited. He joined Indian Administrative Services (IAS),
the premier civil service responsible for public administration at the
Provincial and Central level. He served in various provincial and
Union Government as Principal Secretary and held senior position in
Finance, Planning, Taxation, Industry, Energy, Health & Family Welfare
and Industry & Company Affairs. He represented Govt of India at
International Bodies likes Asian Development Bank, IMF/World Bank,
International Organization of the Supreme Audit Institutions, Asian
Organization of the Supreme Audit Institutions, ASOSAI, etc. Mr.
Shunglu conferred the John Kandusch Award by INTOSAI in 1998. He
serves as an Independent Director at The Delhi Safe Deposit Co. Ltd.
He is also on the Board of Delhi Safe Deposit. Mr. Shunglu received
his B.A. (Honours) in Economics from St. Stephens Colleges, University
of Delhi in 1959 and M.A. in History from University of Delhi in 1961.
The Planning Commission had appointed a High Level Panel headed by Shri V.K.
Shunglu, former Comptroller & Auditor General in July, 2010 to look
into the financial
problems of State Electricity Boards and to identify corrective steps.
The terms of
reference of this Committee included reviewing the accounts of State
Electricity Boards and State Distribution Companies as on March, 2010
and to project their losses by 2017, reviewing the electricity tariff
and also examining the role of the State Governments, Electricity
Regulatory Commissions and Distribution Companies, assessing system
improvement measures accomplished in distribution of power etc. and
finally, to recommend a plan of action to achieve financial viability
in distribution of power by 2017.
The Shunglu Committee presented its Report to the Deputy Chairman, Planning
Commission on 15th December, 2011. The salient features of the Report
are as follows:
•  The accumulated losses for the preceding 5 years is Rs.1,79,000 crore before
subsidy and Rs. 82,000 crore after subsidy. For the year 2009‐10
alone, the financial loss of all distribution companies is Rs.57,000
crore before subsidy and about Rs.27,000 crore after subsidy.
•  These losses are primarily on account of poor managerial and
operational practices of distribution companies compounded by
irrational tariffs fixed by regulators.
•  The Panel has recommended that the State Electricity Regulatory
Commissions should be made independent financially as well as in their
functioning. Selection of
Chairman and Members of Electricity Regulatory Commissions needs to be
fine tuned and further, their functioning should be scrutinized by an
Expert Group in order to determine to what extent the Commissions have
discharged their statutory duties like timely and regular revision of
tariffs.
•    The Panel has suggested that in areas where losses are high, a
loss surcharge should be imposed over and above the basic tariff.
•    Losses of Discoms have been financed by commercial banks
substantially and a large part of such loans have been guaranteed by
the State Governments. The
Report has suggested that subject to the State Government and its
utilities agreeing to and implementing a set of measures listed in the
action pan, these loans could be suitably rescheduled. In case of
failure to meet the rescheduled obligations, such assets should be
taken away from the banks and placed with the Special Purpose Vehicle
(SPV) to be set up for the purpose. The SPV should be owned by the
Reserve Bank of India and shall be empowered to suitably deal with the
defaulting utilities/State Governments including debiting of State
Government accounts.
•    Some other important recommendations include introducing input
based franchise models in about 255 more towns as listed in the
Report, cautious use of Section 108 of the Electricity Act, 2003
relating to issue of Policy directions and proper energy accounting of
all consumers.

2.        Sardar Sarovar Project:
The Sardar Sarovar Project is an inter-State multi-purpose project on
the river Narmada in Gujarat. It is a joint venture between the States
of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Although the
Project was originally envisaged in the year 1946, due to the dispute
regarding sharing of waters of the Narmada among the co-basin States,
its implementation could not be initiated. Under the Inter-state Water
Disputes Act, 1956, Narmada Water Dispute Tribunal (NWDT) was,
therefore, set up in 1969 to adjudicate on the dispute relating to
sharing of water of the inter state river Narmada and its valley. The
NWDT, considering the development of the water resources of the basin
as a whole, gave its award in 1979 allocating share of Water of
Narmada and Power of Sardar Sarovar Project as under:
STATE    Share of Narmada Water
(in 75% dependable year)    Share of Power from SSP (1450 MW)
Million Acre Feet    Percentage    Percentage
Madhya Pradesh    18.25    65.18    57
Gujarat    9.00    32.14    16
Rajasthan    0.50    1.79    —
Maharashtra    0.25    0.89    27
Total          28.00    100.00    100
After further deliberations on all aspects, including
environmental and forests, the Project was approved by the Government
of India after clearance from Environment & Forests angle in 1987.
Salient features of the Project are at Annexure-I.

Water Releases PRESCRIBED in NWDT AWARD
http://www.sscac.gov.in/NWDT.pdf
Clause IX – Regulated Releases to be made by Madhya Pradesh for the
Requirement of Sardar Sarovar Project
With regard to the quantum and pattern of regulated releases, the
Tribunal makes the following Order :-
It has been agreed by the party States and decided by the Tribunal in
its Order dated 8th October, 1974, that the utilisable quantity of
water of 75 per cent dependability in the Narmada at Sardar Sarovar
Dam site should be assessed at 28 MAF (34,537.44 M.cu.m.) The actual
inflow of 75 per cent dependability, however, is only 33,316.29
M.cu.m. (27.01 MAF) and this is brought up to utilisable quantity of
28 MAF (34,537.44 M.cum.) by means of carryover in various reservoirs
allowing for evaporation losses and regeneration. Out of 28 MAF
(34,537.44 M.cu.m.), 11,101.32 M.cu.m. (9MAF) has to be provided for
Gujarat and 0.5 MAF (616.74 M.cu.m.) for Rajasthan at Sardar Sarovar.
The requirements at Sardar Sarovar have to be met by releases by
Madhya Pradesh and by inflows from the intermediate catchment,
surplus to the requirements of Madhya Pradesh below Narmada Sagar and
Maharashtra. The releases from Maheshwar work out to 10,015.86 M.cu.m.
(8.12 MAF). Making uniform monthly releases the amount of water to be
released by Madhya Pradesh per month would be 834.65 M.cu.m. (0.677
MAF). The actual inflow in the river system, however, would vary from
year to year and, therefore, the releases by Madhya Pradesh would also
vary.
