Transformed village 'Chikhli' under Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY)

Chikhli village, located in Navsari district of Gujarat, has been completely transformed within 1.5 year of its adoption under Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY), by MP Chandrakant Raghunath Patil. It was adopted in October 2014, to enhance its social, cultural, and infrastructural standard. The scheme says, members of parliament of all political parties had to adopt one village from their constituency and make it a model village by 2016.

Under this scheme first step was to clean the streets of Chikhli and then improving sanitation facilities for villagers, road construction, and making paver-block flooring in different places. A total of 380 toilets were built in Chikhli through a public-private partnership. For many women in the village, life has become easier after the constriction of these toilets because they no longer need to go out in the open to defecate. Village volunteers have played major role in the cleanliness drive and sanitation. [3]

First MP to get ISO Certification for his office

C R Patil has become India’s first Member of Parliament (MP) to obtain an ISO certification 9001: 2008 for his office. He was given the certificate for his office for quality management system that was applicable for monitoring and administration of the government services for the constituency.

Patil, who represents Navsari in south Gujarat in the Lok Sabha, received the prestigious certificate at a function held on January 9, 2013 in Surat by Sandeep Vig (Regional Director of Intertek Moody), a leading international provider of certification services, which did the audit work of the Patil's office.

[5] He joined the Surat police in 1975 as a constable. He first courted trouble after a liquor hoard was recovered from a bootlegger's house in Palsana taluka in 1978 and his name cropped up in the police records as one of those involved. The same year, another prohibition case was registered against him at the Songadh police station. Patil was arrested by the Surat police Task Force and was finally suspended for six years from the job.

He remained clear of more trouble for a while, though police sources allege that his dalliance with the illegal liquor trade continued. Patil resumed his police job in 1984 and soon invited another suspension : this time for trying to form a police union. Later, he allegedly came into contact with the then-rampant octroi evasion racket, with the backing of some textile mill owners. The Surat Municipal Corporation charged a case of octroi evasion against him in 1995. Meanwhile, politics beckoned, and Patil joined the BJP in 1990. In four short years, he became the Surat district president.

In 2002, the Crime Branch arrested Patil as the chief defaulter in the Diamond Jubilee Cooperative Bank scam. Patil had taken a loan of more than Rs 54 crore from the cooperative bank and did not repay the amount causing the bank to be suspended from the clearing house in 2002. A majority of the lakhs of the account holders with the five branches of the bank were from the middle and lower classes, and many are yet to get their money back. Patil was soon made chairman of the state-owned Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Ltd.

He was in trouble again after he took 48 acres of land at Sachin to construct 65,000 flats for textile labourers. He made a down payment of Rs 6 crore for possession of the GIDC land on lease for 90 years on condition that the remaining amount will be paid soon. But he failed to do so and a court ordered the land to be sealed.

Crime Branch officers arrested Patil and his accomplices in 2002 and he had to remain in jail for 15 months until he secured bail from the Gujarat High Court on the condition that he would repay the dues. But did not do so, and was re-arrested. Patil moved the Supreme Court and later coughed up the money : Rs 88 crore towards the cooperative bank loan and the rest for the GIDC land lease cost, with interest.

Interestingly, Mr.Patil has one of the longest affadavits submitted to the Election Commission of India because of some of the aforementioned cases which are still pending in various courts.
