CGHS System!

I share Shashank's anguish about the low depths to which the CGHS has sunk. Surely the bureaucracy must be having some honest, efficient, and caring officers who can lift the organisation out of its present morass - if not then all is lost, and the CGHS might as well be given an (in)decent burial, as it has apparently meandered from the very purpose for which it was created!! Surely swindling the Exchequer was not part of the charter envisioned by the founders!!
He has rightly pointed out that the fault lies at the top - senior bureaucrats who take all the advantages of the CGHS while not caring for subordinates. How things have changed - less than two decades ago, it was the seniors who always set the right example, and every system functioned. In our growing up experience, it was ingrained in us that loyalty was always a downward imperative, from senior to the junior - the reverse was an accepted fact. In addition it was leaders/seniors who set the course of an organisation - whether good or bad!!
It proves the point that is being made that, whether in the Civil Services or in the Military, the prime reason for the mess that these institutions are in, and for despondency in the lower cadre, is the serious dilution in quality, honesty and upright conduct of the higher echelons.
Now, is there a solution to all this - I believe YES there is. We have seen that it just takes a few good men to set any system right. Many honest bureaucrats in Districts have proved the point, just as many upright soldiers keep the system ticking. May this breed, of unfortunately dwindling professionals, be augmented by men of character, for we cannot expect our neighbours to provide them!!

Do we have concept of seniority or juniority ?

I saw a mail regarding IRS officer reporting to junior officer. I want to ask from the gentleman that do we have any seniority or juniority concept in services. Every service has its own hierarchy. One cannot say that a 1999 batch of RPF/CRPF is senior to 2002 batch IPS as both are different service. It is purely based on posting and not on the basis of examination. I would like to ask this gentleman if there is any IDES officer of 1976 batch is posted as DDG(SAG) in some ministry as 1980 batch IRS in Commissioner or Chief Commissioner rank.....would the IRS officer give him proper salutation....I dont think it will happen. So again I will request my good friend that they should not look beyond what is assigned to them. They should concentrate on what is meant for them. A system is there and whether they like it or not they have to live with it. Rather than wasting their time in thinking these things they should devote some time in improving their works and results.

Do not single out IRS officers ?

It is not necessary to single out IRS officers for reporting to officers junior to them. When IAS/ IFS officers try going on UN/ multilateral body/ international civil service deputation, they actually go at levels far lower than their seniority would entitle them to, and which no white person would take a second look at. So do the Army wallahs when on deputation to Ministry of External Affairs. So do the IPS folk, when in RAW, report to IFS officers who are junior to them. Why even empanelment of other services to joint secretary to government of India is done, throwing all norms to the winds, six years after the IAS officers of their batch! It's really apartheid which is at work the world over (and of course, in India), only, the form is different (but some time or the other, it affects those who practice it themselves as well)!

Try this system-fifty fifty !

There is a very strong case for reversing the unstated quota enjoyed by the IAS over all top posts in Government though these posts are open, "central staffing" posts and not meant for the IAS or any other service. A beginning can be made by reserving 50% of the top posts for services other than the IAS recruited through the same examination like the Indian Foreign Service, Indian Police Service, Indian Revenue Service, Indian Audit and Accounts Service, Indian Postal Service, Railways Services etc; technocrats, economists of repute and standing, media people of undisputed ability etc. This will introduce competition and ensure that the country has a wider talent pool to choose from. It will also ensure diversity of experience in governance.

They deserve a grateful salute

It is well said by Maj Gen Sindhu about the tough and hostile conditions faced by our men in uniform. The nation remembers these brave souls only when a calamity looms over our head. Having regard to the adverse factors that these men are experiencing, there is nothing wrong if they harbour a little greed (hunger for money)!! After all, they too are human. Remember, these are the men who remain awake in their bunkers so that we can peacefully sleep in the air-conditioned comforts of our home. They do deserve a grateful salute, even in times of peace because they are the ones who ensure peace prevails !!

SP's in a quandary…. one it does not want to support and the other it cannot!!!
Patil it does no want to and support to Shekhawat will be treated by Mulsims as a blot!!!

Third Front is thinking of making its candidate stand,
Well they better decide fast because they are running out of sand (time)!!!

One of the candidate's being thought of is Faroukh Abdullah!!!
I'm sure many would join me in looking up and saying 'Why Allah'!!!

Abdullah is definitely not Presidential material….. as a CM he was a total misfit!!!
To be India's President he's definitely not mentally fit!!

Fatima Bibi is another name they are contemplating!!!
And on Kalam too they are debating!!!

Kalam is no longer interested and is itching to teach!!!
But hope teacher while handing over new incumbent ko karre ga preach!!!

Kalam was not a rubber stamp…. and hope he preaches the new incumbent on this!!
To give becoming a rubber stamp the miss!!!

But Pratibha Tai's hands are tied,
Sonia's diktat till now nahi kiya defy and future will also not be defied!!

Why did Pratibha Tai have to make the purdah comment……there was no need!!
Seems to get into a controversy karr rahi thi Tai plead!!

Congress's mascot 'Muslims' are not going to be too khush!!!
And please India cannot afford someone who has foot in mouth problem like Bush!!!

Amrinder can cry from rooftops that Badal's are framing him,
Charges against him and his son are grim!!!

Conduit Gupta says that Rs.4000 crores was ghoos as per estimates!!
Alleged 100 crores was Congress's share and rest was to be shared by Amrinder and his mates!!!

Motilal will say he doesn't have a clue…but seems Party was to be given bhikari's share!!
And alleged Amrinder and his mates got what can be called share of the sher (lion)!!!

Not only the Congress Party now even ED has been put under the scanner!!
Gupta says money was paid to a ED Official to put in the investigative works a spanner!

Amrinder is going to say that Sukhbir is abroad to dig up scum on him!!!
And maybe Sukhbir is doing this with a lot of vim!!!

Amrinder's planning to stay out…… but political asylum in UK is now a no-no!!
So where will he go???

He can always go to Pakistan….. Pakistan law allows for residency to a spouse!!
So he'll stay at Begum Arusa Allam's house!!!

As expected SC has refused to interfere in HC's Order on Amrinder's Bail!!
In the upcoming HC hearing Punjab Sarkaar's request for cancellation will not fail!!

What's wrong with Jaya Pradha…even with her make up she looks ill???
If she's planning to act someone should tell her to act as a heroine she's over the hill!!!

And she can forget about doing dance shows on UP Sarkaar's account!!!
In fact Maya may order an inquiry to recover from Jaya Pradha 45 lakhs ka amount!!

They say Shivraj Patil was so sure of becoming President that he'd started planning!!
On his role, States, dressing and manning!!!

Now Shivraj is worried if he'll be able to retain his current job!!!
Because of the promise that Congress has made to Commies job ho saktha hai rob!!

Railway Officials are not too happy that Laloo cut a Train Cake!!!
On this they have their own take!!

But Laloo says, " I damn care"!!!
Continues , "They are forgetting that I sit in the Driver's chair."

Pawar's affidavit says he does not own a car….. but see the swanky cars he's seen in!!
But then to be driven about in swanky cars is no sin!!!

But wouldn't it be right to find out whose cars does he use!!!
Because then it can be found out if his High Office karr raha hai Pawar abuse!!

Nobody's going to give Pawar swanky cars for nothing!!!
The owners of the cars must be getting something!!!

Its well known that Hookahs or Sheeshas give more second hand smoke!!!
And via fruity flavours kids are enticed to smoke!!!

In fact to Hookah Bars and Cafes Cigarette manufacturers should be thankful,
Because into the cigarette vice kids these places pull!!!

Save our next generation from vices….. tobacco and booze!!
Because of these vices many kids we loose!!!

Save kids from smoking and drinking themselves to an early grave!!
Bachon aur bachpana dono ko karro save!!!
