West Bengal: As soon as we hear the name of a government office, piles of files, complex rules and regulations and complicated procedures often come to our mind. But amidst this environment, if one finds a person who is always ready to solve everyone’s problems, then the work journey becomes much easier. Prosenjit Chakraborty is one such trustworthy name for the employees of the Social Welfare Department. Prasenjeet, who works in an important position at the headquarters of the Directorate of ICDS (Shaishli Bhawan), is called ‘easy going’ by his colleagues.
Whether someone’s pension is stuck or someone has to submit necessary documents for salary, Prasenjeet is the first to come forward to help in every difficulty. He himself takes the responsibility of conveying all this information to his colleagues on time about when, which form has to be submitted, how to do it, and which rules have to be followed. He also takes special care of the employees who are posted in remote areas. He tries so that he does not have to face the hassle of coming to the head office again and again.
Through phone, message or any other means, he tries his best to make their work easier. If there is any mistake in any office paper, how to correct it or how to solve the problem, he answers every question with great patience. Some time ago, due to excessive work pressure and high blood pressure, Prosenjit Chakraborty’s health suddenly deteriorated. The condition became so serious that blood started flowing from his ears. As soon as this news spread in the office, all the employees became worried for him.
Almost every day someone would come to inquire about his well being and pray for his speedy recovery. After taking rest for a few days, he has again returned to work and is busy helping his colleagues as before. His colleagues often say that only a dedicated and helpful person like Prasenjit is a true ‘public servant’. Because he not only performs his duty, but wholeheartedly tries to make the work of others easier. Many employees in the office have only one thing on their lips, “It is good that Prasenjit Babu is there, otherwise it would have been very difficult to solve so many problems.” His honesty and helping spirit makes him different from everyone else.
