FORUM

Display details

It is high time that cadre controlling authorities display details of immoveable assets/properties, updated compulsorily annually, alongwith submission of CRs, for all government officials, whether belonging to AIS or Central Services. This should be displayed along with the respective Civil Lists on concerned websites of the Department. Though this move is there on paper, it has been pursued half-heartedly for reasons best known to authorities themselves ! This would enable general public as also batch mates to keep an eye on the sudden turn in fortunes of colleagues and would also bind the officer to the declarations made. Please pursue this if you want transparency in public life and do not want Rats to eat up the Public Granaries from within !

Present retirement age of 60 is sufficient

Retirement Age should be as per the performance of the employee and the requirements of the organization concerned. I think at present the retirement age of 60 years is adequate as it gives ample opportunity to the seniors to prove their worth and the proper chance for the juniors to show their mettle. Unless the oldies vacate the positions how can younger lot occupy the seats. Moreover, it is said that you can not teach old horses new tricks. So, no further years should be given to the current oldies who are mainly responsible for the rot of the system. Remember only " Mera Bharat Jawan can lead to Mera Bharat Mahan"
R Singh

Retirement age should be reduced

I fully agree with Mrs Raghvan. Retirement age should be reduced to 58 years so that all the young men get jobs. Given the option , no one in government from cabinet secratary to a peon would ever like to retire and want their children to get compassionate appointment for dying while in service.
Rajeev ranjan

Retirement age should be reduced to 55

There is a strong case to reduce retirement age to 58 years or even 55 years in view of the mess created by government servants as a whole .There may be some ineffective exeptions. When government cannot create jobs for the young ,it has no business to raise retirement age irrespective of increase in life expectancy.
Shobhna Mishra

What is the latest ?

There was a news on this site that the retirement age of the central government employees is being raised to 62 years and the orders shall be issued in March 2007. Now April is coming to end but no orders. Please intimate the latest news in this regard

There should be crash course on bribery

It is quite clear that Rakesh Mohan like many others of his type must have been minting money soon after joining government service. Otherwise he could not have suddenly invented novel ways of accepting bribe by way of an apartment in USA. Infact, there is an urgent need to organise a crash course on how to accept bribe without getting caught so that peoples faith in honesty and integrity of government servants is maintained.

IPS officers in Assam need not lose heart -see Bihar !

IPS officers in Assam need not lose heart. Officers of even the 1977 batch IPS in Bihar are still IGs in Bihar. As far as promotions go, the much maligned state really takes the cake!! I know for sure that two officers of the 1981 batch have been promoted as Additional DGs in Madhya Pradesh, and some other states. That is the lot of officers in Bihar, where till a few years ago the promotions used to be amonst the first in the country.

Hey Krishna tu is kalyug mein aa kar to dekh ...

Tune 18 saal ki umar me mama Kans ko mara,
BIN LADEN ko hath laga kar to dekh ...

Tune Arjun ko to Saari Geeta sunayee,
Mere Project Manager se ek baar baat kar ke to dekh ...

Tune to Arjun ka Sarathi banke Pandavon ko jitaaya
Indian Cricket team ka Coach ban ke WorldCup jitaake to dekh ...

Tune bhari mehfil mein draupadi ko saree pehnai,
Mallika sherawat ko ek jodi kapde pehna ke to dekh ...

Tune gokul ki 1600 gopiyan patai,
Meri company ki sirf ek ladki ko pata kar to dekh ...

Hey Krishna tu is kalyug mein aa kar to dekh ....

Aaj Ki Aawaz

One fourth of our Parliamentarians are tainted,
Though most of them would claim that taint is politically painted!!!


Doesn't this make us bow our heads in shame???
For this who should we blame??

And on the lighter side….. there's 25% reservation for those with taint,
But ask them and they'll show you as if each one of them is a Saint!!!

Recently some of them have been accused running an emigration scam,
Seems for the law they care a damn!!

But why blame them only…… we too share the blame,
We elect them knowing their taint and this is a real shame!!!


Confucius says…… The polity does reflect the state of the Nation,
He continues…. Polity is Nation's creation!!!

Centre is really desperate…… asked CJ to fix an early dare for hearing Quota plea,
Now in Sarkaar's bonnet there's a Quota bee!!!!

Predicting the outcome of the plea PM's has asked Arjun to get Sarkaar out of this fix,
And poor ole Arjun had thought that he's hit a political six!!!!

The umpire (SC) called off the match and Arjun was left high and dry,
Now for the match to restart Arjun karr raha hai desperately try!!!

Rahul says that Centre sent funds to UP but funds we misused,
By Postman Mulayam the funds were abused!!!

As per Rahul the standard 8 paisa of every Rupee did not reach for what it was sent,
With 92 paisa the 8 pasia also down the drain it went!!

Rahul Baba is working hard in UP…. back against the wall,
But feel that post UP election he'll be made to walk tall!!!

SP will be booted out and Congress in the UP elections is going to double its seats,
And these will be attributed as Rahul's feats!!

Congress is itching to be the Kingmaker in UP..... get indirect power,
So that then it can try ke UP mein ho jaye Congress flower!!

It's a cat and mouse game for Congress….. Kingmaker will help it to gain a footing,
But anti incumbency will ensure that in next UP election Congress will get the booting!!

While she laments Sonia indirectly Jaya should not forget the past,
When I Gandhi tried that Amitabh should be in some film's cast!!

Bachchan family benefited from its closeness to the Gandhis.... protected them too,
Now they speak against the Gandhi family.... don't know with what mooh!!!

Bachchan was in the thick of things and his Mom did Sonia's kanyadaan,
As long as they got what they wanted they did Gandhi family's gunn gaan!!!

Seems Jaya suffers from convenient amnesia….forgotten the favors,
Now only her family's relationship with SP she savors!!!

In fact it's the Bachchan family that 'used and ditched',
And about the Gandhi family they openly bitched !!

Seems Big B wanted to be bailed out during his debt ridden days,
No one was even willing to take him in plays!!!

Its here that Amar played his game,
And told Bachchan that Gandhi's not bailing him out was a shame!!!

Bachchans put all the favors from Gandhis in the bin,
Left the Gandhi's and with Mulayam and Amar the Bachchans moved in!!!

Punjab 's FM says that Lee Kuan Yew's Autobiography is his Bible,
Hope that after his stint as FM his so called Bible does not sue him for libel!!

Sukhbir says that Akalis will stay in power for next 25 years,
Whereas Akalis are already expressing post five year fears!!!

Amrinder is trying for a Delhi posting…. in the Party,
He'll spend his time hopping from Page 3 party to party!!

In Haryana seems many Congressis are doing Bhajan Lal ka bhajan!!!
Though Congress feels it'll take time for Bhajan to form Congress - Bhajan!!!!

Bhajan has quite a number of aces up his sleave,
And many Congressis Congress ko karre ge leave!!!!

Because in next Haryana election Congress is not coming back!!!
So many Congressis percieved winning ghoda ko karre ge back!!!

Bhajan is percieved to be a winning ghoda,
And he and Chautala can make an unbeatable joda!!!

Chautala too is percieved to be a winning ghoda worth backing,
Better off as Party and Party set up Bhajan is lacking!!!

There's another earth outside our Solar System..... new find,
They say it's just earth kind!!!

Hope they've not messed up their earth the way we've messed up our earth???
Fact is for God's Beautiful earth we're not worth!!!
