CASE STUDY-1
Mihir is a new Panchayat
secretary. Within few days he got a circular which said that he should soon
conduct Grama Sabha to finalize the action plan of MGNREGA. Action plan
contains the list of works to be undertaken in the villages and their estimated
expenditures. This should be decided in the Grama Sabha and the decision of
Gram Sabha is immutable.
The Gram Sabha was held
and chairman, all elected members, officer in-charge,engineer, people
from villages debated and finally listed important works to be undertaken and
the estimated expenditure was decided there itself.
Next, this plan had to be
approved in the Panchayat meeting and sent to Tehsil for further approval for
sanction of funds. The chairman of Panchayat, who was also a class-I
contractor, met Mihir and asked him to manipulate the funds estimates. Even few
members who themselves were small time contractors and who had previously used
machines in MGNREGA scheme to finish works and draw money, joined Chairman in
demanding manipulation of the action plan.
Mihir strongly objected to
this. On the day of meeting, which was a closed door meeting inside the
Panchayat office, he was manhandled by some members in the office after
he resisted their attempt to snatch the action plan and manipulate it,
and was threatened that if he didn’t act according to their orders, he
would be thrashed again and again. Someone outside called the police. But when
police arrived, the chairman alleged that Panchayat secretary behaved in
an indecent manner with female members hence he was thrashed. Female
members seconded this allegation.
Mihir was taken to police
station. Police refused to accept his version of the incident, which was true.
He was helpless at the moment.
You are his superior
officer (BDO). Mihir contacts you and tells you his part of the story. At the
same time, Panchayat members narrate their version. How will you proceed from
here? -(250 words)

CASE
STUDY-3
Mukul was a hard working
policeman. He married a beautiful girl from his village. Both of them
stayed in a house at police quarters.
Mukkul’s boss,
Sub-Inspector Sandeep was an arrogant and flirtatious officer. He did not treat
his subordinates well. He had an eye on Mukul’s wife ever since he first saw
her on the day of Mukul’s wedding. His house was in the neighborhood of Mukul’s.
Unlike other superior officers, Sandeep often invited Mukul to visit his home
with his wife for dinner and to other get together parties. Mukul had noticed
that Sandeep was trying to get closer to his wife by making jokes and giving
unsolicited advises.
Sandeep denied Mukul any
holidays. Mukul was tired of asking for leave so many times and had even mildly
protested once. Sandeep wanted Mukul and his wife to stay at the quarters
all the time.
Once Mukul wanted a
fifteen days of leave to arrange and look after his only sister’s wedding. He
had to go to his native with his family for fifteen days. Mukul officially kept
asking for leave two months well before the wedding date itself. But as
expected Sandeep kept refusing him any leave. Just before the scheduled day
Mukul had to leave for his native, he once again finally asked Sandeep to grant
him leave. Sandeep said that he would grant him leave provided he went alone to
the marriage leaving behind his wife in the quarters.
Mukul, agitated, took his
loaded rifle and shot the inspector dead. He then surrendered to the police.
Emotional intelligence is
must for police officers to work in a stressful and provocative
environment.
Explain how would have
been Mukul and Sandeep’s behaviour if they had possessed high emotional
intelligence?
