Tvm: Korath V Mathew, Director of Akshaya, has refuted allegations levelled by the office bearers of the Association of IT Employees (AITE) against him and Akshaya. In a letter from the Akshaya State Project Office, Korath has said that the allegations against Akshaya and its Director happens to be completely false and the media reports were based on the misguided statements given by AITE during their press conference. AITE had last week demanded a vigilance inquiry against the Akshaya Director alleging corrupt and unethical practices in the project. They had also held a dharna in front of the State Office in Thiruvananthapuram.
Responding to some of the allegations by AITE, the statement from the Director clarifies that Akshaya has not developed any software or spend any money for the development of software or given any work to private companies. This has been either done by Comprehensive Health Insurance Agency of Kerala (CHIAK) or United India Insurance or Third Party Administrators who were entrusted to do the enrolment and renewal of RSBY health cards. Akshaya has only facilitated their work as Common Service Centres.
Akshaya entrepreneurs are not asked to remit money directly in TPA accounts. All financial transactions through Akshaya are online. Cash transactions are not encouraged. Akshaya only monitors and accounts the transactions. Similar method is followed in case of Kerala Non-Resident Keralites (KNRK) Welfare Fund collection. Direct online transactions through banks are in order.
The Director does not have any role in the allotment or cancellation of the centres. No Akshaya centres are stopped unilaterally. Activation and de-activation of Akshaya Centres are done at the District level by the Collector on recommendation of LSGs and Akshaya District Office. Most of the time deactivation happens due to complains from citizens against a Centre or if it’s found that centres are not following the rules and regulations set by the Akshaya State Project Office.
Talking to Kerala IT News, Korath said, “Akshaya centres are run by entrepreneurs who are self employed and in most cases they don’t have any employees. So there is no question of any Akshaya entrepreneur being part of this Association of IT Employees. These allegations are done with a view to malign the good work being done by Akshaya and also to derail the project by some disgruntled youths who could not get an Akshaya Centre during the allocation. Most Akshaya entrepreneurs have expressed their faith and goodwill.”

In the process , graft is generated at the ground level.
Sadly , anything / schemes , funded by the Govt , becomes a granary to plunder.
All Social Security schemes are riddled with scams.We become helpless witnesses to great scams & only feel bad about it.
I have been prompted by the above comment,and i have to put my words here.
First upon i need to know being a citizen of this country,being a tax payer to the government.
The cost of chiak renewal was again Rs30/-.When the card was issued to the people as new initially.It is sensible that the new card have the manufacturing cost added to that.How can the same cost prevails for renewing?

The Kyrose Sftech was asked to provide a perfect software.But Complaints regarding non-renewal is coming every day.This proved that Kyros is not a reliable firm.
An MOU is valid if and only if the concerned parties put their signature on it. Unfortunately, the one available shows that signature of Akshaya Director only.
Whether any exemption order was issued by the Government to allow private firms for G2C services? When this question is raised, the Akshaya authorities give an answer GO Rt 133 of IT Dept.But according to the available version of this order it is stated that in addition to G2C services, B2C services can be done through Akshaya. With this order how can we allow a private firm? This needs clarification.
I don't believe that our honorable Director is corrupt. But he must come forward with necessary clarifications with proof.(It is not at all need consideration who was he yesterday or whether he was working for the nationfor 50 years because that is not a license to violate the rules and regulations).
After 5 -10 year one agent from corporate company will come and say he is Dev by putting his thumb!!!!!!!! Who knows it will not happen??
All should use this forum to view their opinion.
There is an article by Sri Korath in the same site on UID. The author's details are written as follows along with the article .
"Korath V Mathew is an ICT Specialist providing consulting services in IT projects especially in the field of e-Governance. He has worked on projects of ADB, DFID (UK) and World Bank, besides private firms. He is presently......... ..."
HOW CAN WE EXPECT MORE FROM HIM ?
That is why he is continuing in the same post without even an enquiry....????
