FORUM

This is because of mindless transfer policy

This is what is to be expected with the mindless transfer policy of the Board. Forced to maintain more than one establishment, the honest ones shall either see break up of the family, or turn dishonest, if not take VRS. The department will be left only with the incompetent and/or the dishonest. Perhaps good for all the tax evaders, if not for aam aadami.

Not only IAS other services also need changes

A number of positive changes are being brought about in the IAS. Apart from health check ups, in-service training, an objective writing of ACRs is an integaral part of the improvements. However, all these improvements are restricted to the All India Services -read the IAS. It is high time that the Government realises that the other services also need the same type of changes and perhaps even more as they are specialised services. If India has to develop, specialised services ought to come to the fore. In no developed economy, do you see generalists heading departments.

Private sector-a retrograde step

This is a retrograde step. It will adversly affect the image of IAS.
If some one is so enamoured with the private sector then they should have joined the private company in the initial stages only.

T Ramachandru

Will this happen after UP poll results ?

There is also a report that Government may put up a proposal to enhance the retirement age to 62 year. This may come along with this order on a day or two after results of UP elections are announced.

Sikkim cadre IAS

If you check the Civil List of Sikkim, you will find that the senior most IAS officer in the State is Alok Rawat of the 1977 batch and no one of this batch has been posted as Additional Secretary as yet. The officers of 1948 downwards that you speak of are probably state civil service officers who have been promoted. Very few of them would have opted to come to Delhi at any time.
The Sikkim Cadre really has no reason to despair. They are being promoted as slowly (or as quickly) as the rest of the IAS!

B K Deb

Why only for IAS ?

Why only for IAS? It should open to all services. This is discriminatory and violates equality and spirit of constitution

Singh

Will Government permit other services ?

In principle will the government also permit Foreign services, Intelligence, Police and Armed Forces staff the liberty to serve other bodies and goverments as well?
Ashok

Deserving State Civil Service officers should also be promoted

The issue of promotions to State Service Officers and CSS officers to AIS i.e. IAS, IPS, IFS has always been a topic of debate. Manish chandras views are correct that deserving officers from state services must be promoted to AIS as per their eligibility without delay. The present situation is really very bad where allover India any state service officer requires or will require in future minimum 20-25 years to get into AIS and some may even retire without getting into AIS. It is injustice to them that when all AIS officers take at least 5 promotions in their career span State service officers are limited to only one promotion in their career span despite their merit. The same is with CSS officers but they are lucky enough to get 2-3 promotions. In the interest of Indian Administrative system all the senior Bureaucrats must take serious initiative to take up this issue of their supporting force before the Government. May be by increasing the quota of promotions to 50% or by granting special promotions

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Now many are saying Haathi Mera Saathi,
Maya's buttered jaha bhi woh hai jaathi!!

Congress has already offered BSP its support…… though from outside,
There's no question of joining BSP Sarkaar from inside!!

Congress is now wearing the SP slayer medal,
Congress boasts its made SP's cycle loose its seat, handle and pedal!!!

Independents too could be in great demand…. Maya is hoping Independents do better,
And she's confident she'll get most of them to sign the support letter!!!!

But if cleft is bigger than she may have to look at breaking up SP,
In the past in similar circumstances Mulayam's done the same to BSP!!!

It'll be just tit for tat......jaise ko taise milla,
Maya will make a huge leak in SP's killa (fort)!!!

Or she could look towards BJP……. but BJP's taking a long term view,
Though her association with BJP will not be new!!!

BJP can tacitly say no by demanding power sharing formula and for forming Sarkaar first,
Maya's dam of impatience will definitely burst!!!

The betting markets are agog with bets on how long will it take Maya to take revenge,
As they say she's vowed ki she has a lot to avenge!!!!

Very soon Mulayam may be joining Amar on the Delhi Page Three circuit,
And in Delhi he will continue working on UPA blowing a short circuit!!!

Though first its reported that both will go abroad for medical check ups,
Of course SP supporters say that these are just gups!!!

This 'out of sight out of mind' ploy was started by Chautala and was a hit,
Loose power and then in some other Country for two to three years karro sit!!

Then when anti incumbency of present Sarkar kicks in return like a recovered hero,
And start saying the present Sarkar is one big zero!!!

But this is for sure that post UP things are going to get hotter,
And some say UPA may even totter!!!

Presidential Election could cause a storm,
Though a unanimous choice should be the norm!!

Hooda by the way is facing a dual attack,
From the front by Chautala and Bhajan is attacking him from the back!!!

Though there are rumours that High Command will placate Bhajan,
And he and his son Kuldeep will start doing Sonia's bhajan!!!

There are chances sooner than later Hooda will get the sack,
In fact some say Hooda's alreaqdy started to crack!!!

Rumoured Amrinder met Guv Roddy and requested that if arrested he'd like some aid,
A special Cell for him in view of his L or Luxury Status should be made!!!

Did he want Guv's invitations to him to be addressed as Begum and Amrinder Singh???
This is being rumoured though he continues to deny his Arusa Aalam fling!!

Many demand that Badal adopt the Kairon model,
Aur apne aap ko karre remodel!!!

Kairon model…..no problem on having a rate,
But at the same time have a Vision and do a lot for the State!!!

In this age of RTI why this demand for hush-hush or was it just taalam-taala!!!
Sarkari Counsels demand for secrecy for showing Cabinet Papers on Navin Chawla!!!

Navin Chawla's case shows how blatantly Sarkaar looks at some as their own,
And Navin being pro Congress is well known!!!

Seems ultimately SC will set things right,
And Congress bullet karre gi bite!!!

Reliance's Jain met Pranab Da,
Now Jain says that why did Pranab have to blow a fuse he could have just said 'Na'??

Reliance says its rehab package for land acquisitions would be like a windfall,
But do they realize what happens to a fruit jo tree se karta hai fall???

Or what happens to a tree uprooted,
Tree is a tree as long as its rooted!!!

Lost livelihoods will be the outfall,
Yes with the windfall the Farmers will in the short term have a ball!!!

But wells dry up and one day like Farmers in Gurgaon will lament selling their land,
And would say that wish they'd cut off their Sale Deed signing hand!!!

Problem is Mukesh and gang are just blinded with their side of the story,
And for the Farmer end of this story indeed is very gory!!!

Dravid says Indian Team should not take Bangladesh Team lightly…. abs right!!
On the previous match with Bangladesh India should not loose sight!!!

Nowadays Indian Cricketers fele every day is a dry day,
And till they do not perform hope the dry days stay!!

Bush aka Dubiya winked at the Queen and in his way called her Mummy,
Queen may start wearing a T Shirt with the slogan ' He ain't from my tummy'!!!

Dubiya's foot suffers from an oral attraction…homes in as and when it can!
On Dubiya opening his mouth there should be a ban!!!
