Copyrighted books are another form of procurement procedure,
actually there is nothing special in copyrighted material that WCD has
purchased. One can easily get copyright of anything. It is not binding on any
authority to buy copyrighted work. In WCD copyrights are obtained only to avoid
competition. In this case owner of copy right decides cost of his books and WCD
purchases it on just meager discount.
A ) On 27 September 2014 on Bhanudas Tekavade Applied for
copyright of “ Anganwadi sevekasathi MIS margadarshika and
prashikshakasathi Margadashak Pustika.
(Anne -52 ) Immediately within 4 days he gave commissioner WCD proposal to purchase
these books in his companies name i.e.
even before copyright is awarded .Now don’t ask
How he came to know ,that said department is interested in
purchasing such product. Obviously
tekavade decided cost of his work. Commissioner WCD promptly wrote a letter to
Principle secretary on 5th September i.e. within three days
describing nature of book and cost. Commissioner or Principal Secretary didn’t
even look at in whose name copyright application has been made. They blindly
believed what tekavade was saying and forwarded proposal in his company’s name.
