CHENGA PENJOR's JOURNEY

PC: Google "A payment or concession to stimulate greater output or investment" is what the dictionary defines incentive.  The word INCENTIVE rings in every ear of MHPAians since from July-2019. It was from that time that it was heard and never materialize until November-2019. Finally, the much-awaited news was out with office order circulated for the disbursement of the incentive to all the employees who have served MHPA as on 30th September 2019.  Many have planned as to how to utilize the amount in the best way a long time back. By now I am petty sure that all the plans are forgotten. It has perfectly served as an example of "Never to Count the Chickens before it's hatched". Nevertheless, it is always good to have it planned and keep it ready when the right time comes.  For the order to come into life, it has gone through so many deliberations and proposals after proposals. Firstly, it was proposed by MHPA management to the Authority meeting t

Sitting room It all started with my lateral transfer to C & P Division from HRT Complex that I was enquired every time I met with the seniors from DGPC asking me ‘When am I joining the office of C & P at Dangdung?’(as if I am that important person that will change the system 😊😊😊). Applied for the apartment here at Dangdung, which the allotment committee has allotted on 1 st November 2019. Due to unforeseen circumstances, it was possible to shift to the new place only on 7 th November (it was a good day to shift). With some kitchen item and the bedroom necessity, came to Dangdung; the new place that I will be spending my career life here in MHPA till the next assignment is assigned to the new place.

November month is the month full of festivals around the corners and the holiday season across the country. The month starts with the holiday marking the coronation day of His Majesty the Fifth King. Then it will be followed by the Birth Anniversary of our Great Fourth (November 11,12&13).
