FORUM

(The views expressed in this column are necessarily of their respective contributors. We do not own any responsibility, whatsoever, about these contributions).

Pointwise reply in brief to Sriram's comments:-
1.While few persons with high ranks may opt other services, generally today the best selected persons are going for the IAS even more than earlier where many would prefer IFS. This is also a fact UPSC would verify. Secondly, it is extremely rare today for a UPSC interview candidate to be disadvantaged due to lack of good English or social graces;this is not the 1950's or 60's.Choice of "scoring"optionals is open to all.

2.After recruitment, the job profile and diversity of the IAS make it undoubtedly an unparalleled service. The IRS and other services, even on deputation go only to the central ministries and very rarely to the state government and the district administration.

3.Only negligible number of IRS/other such services are posted at places like Purulia or Mahamaya Nagar.The GOI can verify this at any time. Again, it is highly ignorant of the challenges of modern day field and development admn. to say that IAS lord it over like ICS in the field.Nothing can be further from the truth today where the numerous challenges are further accentuated by great political pressures, public expectations, judicial tyranny and media campaigns. Even in this scenario the service is delivering.

4.All law and order responsibility and power vested in the IAS has been given to it by the LAW OF THE LAND and not arrogated to itself. One expects writers on this site to be better informed! The Cr.P.C.,Police Act 1861,Arms Act and various other statutes clearly vest overall charge of Law and order in the district in the District Magistrate and enjoin the police to work under his direction for Law and Order purposes.

5."Good postings"in the IAS are not limited to Noida, Delhi, Mumbai etc alone.

6.The closest manner and multitude of capacities at every level in which the IAS works hand in hand with the political executive is again unrivalled by any other service.

7.The factual number of how many IRS have left the government for crore rupee private assignments can again easily be checked by GOI which is bound to be much higher for services like IRS compared to IAS.

Come out of the shell and see the reality

Excellent rebuttal. I also would add that whenever IRS officers r allowed to join on deputation to the different ministries they are recognised for the excellent work done in whichever ministry he is posted which further disproves that only IAS have the capability to man the various ministries. So please come out of the shell & see the reality.

Let IRS & IAS do their job

So now Rajiv Ratan has company in few of his other colleagues !! why have few of the IAS officers started feeling so insecure about IRS and appointed themselves as the custodian for removing all the so called ills and that too with a monopoly ??? let IRS do the job they are doing and let IAS do their job. Let us all of us do our job as efficiently and honestly as possible rather then eying each others job that too with a sense of deprivation. Well, if IAS wants to enter the Revenue Boards, let them provided IRS officers are also allowed to enter the State and Central posting, let their be fair play for everybody. The debate is endless and getting bit unhealthy. There s no denying or doubt that IRS be it customs, IT, central excise or service tax, is the most updated and current department in the entire gamut of services. Perhaps this is the only department whose laws and regulations are subjected to annual scrutiny in form of Budget where substantial relevant Acts are fine tuned with the prevailing time. Forget about bringing IAS officers in revenue, soon we may have to separate Customs, central excise and service tax as each wing is becoming highly specialised. Can we afford to experiment or play havoc with the existing system of revenue mobilization ????

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Is Mr. L above the Law……. Law Ministry thinks so????
That's why to CBI's request to appeal HC's verdict Law Ministry has said no!!!

And seems Laloo's Media management has come of age,
Total Media blank out…… nothing on tis on any Channel or any newspaper page!!!

Laloo bachao Project as of now is a success,
Unless on account of a PIL Court karre for testing the Judgement press!!!

India has promised reciprocity if Mr. Q is handed over,
But as there is no specific agreement seems its guard Argentina is not going to lower!!

Mr. Q in all probability will not be deported,
Malaysian Court's verdict will stand in his favour its being reported!!

In the meantime Mr.Q is enjoying steaks and getting a tan,
On his enjoying his forced stay there is no ban!!!

In Parliament there will be a full fledged discussion on Mr. Q's detention,
Funny ……on issues that affect us there is not even a mention!!!

Price rise……. SEZs……… farmer suicides…… seems these don't matter!!!
Between issues that effect us and Mr. Q seems they've chosen the latter!!!

Amar Singh Ji is now casting aspersions on the Petitioner …… no use!!!!
Petitioner Chaturvedi ko Judiciary ke kilaaf aspersions cast karne ke liye Amar karr rahe hai accuse!!

Funnily he says this is the grounds why the Petition should be thrown out,
Don't know why this line of argument karr rahe hai Amar Singh ji tout!!!

Let Law take its course,
Yes if Amar Ji you come to power in future than on Law you can use your force!!!!

In Uttrakhand can Congress stop BJP from forming Sarkaar???
Hasn't Congress in Uttrakhand faced haar????

BJP needs just one whereas Congress needs more than a dozen to reach the magic figure,
People's verdict ko kyon Congress try karr rahi hai to disfigure!!

Congress needs now to focus on UP Poll,
Improving its position should be Congress's goal!!!

Believe me sitting in Delhi this election cannot be won,
And if Sonia cannot spend time in UP she should send her son!!!

As it is in caste matters Congress is totally at sea,
And local Congress Leaders on anything and everything just disagree!!!

And inflation is something that Congress has to seriously tackle,
If from the fourth place apne aap ko Congress wants to unshackle!!!

FM is deemed number two in Punjab Cabinet…… who will be FM????
And who Badal's can trust to be 'caretaker' CM???

Because if there is an adverse judgement in Disproportionate case,
Wouldn't it be fantastic if a Badal took Badal's place????

Amrinder is suffering from severe power withdrawal symptoms....needs to be treated,
Before he is this sickness needs to be chargesheeted!!!

Holi is coming …… colour your aatma,
This Holi colour your aatma in rang of Parmatma!!

Bharat Kumar
