Laggards of IAS or simply the Pariah?
Sikkim , a state of barely half a million people, was made into a separate cadre for All India Services after its merger in 1975 with a sanctioned strength of 60 for the IAS. There have been as many as 64 IAS officers in the cadre so far (of which 42 are between the 1958 and 1987 batches), but, shockingly, nobody from Sikkim cadre has ever worked as Secretary or Special Secretary or even as Additional Secretary to GOI during last 32 years!! Only one officer has so far worked as Joint Secretary while one more has recently been empanelled, on reconsideration, perhaps to correct this glaring anomaly.

Of what value is GOI's policy to offer financial incentives to encourage officers to stay and work in North East if the hard evidence on ground fails to dispel the impression among junior officers that Sikkim is a graveyard of IAS? When will the PMO directive to M/O Personnel to give preference to officers of NE cadres in matters of empanelment as JS, training and foreign assignments will see the light of the day?

It may be remembered that this is one state which has not produced a single Union Cabinet/State or even a Deputy Minister in its History.

Not a good news for 22 disillusioned officers of Sikkim cadre including 13 direct recruits belonging to 1988 to 2006 batches who cannot help feeling that posting in Sikkim means an end of their career aspirations. No wonder than that even the high court judges are sent here on punishment. And some like Justice Sethna of Gujrat High Court prefer to resign.

Economy:Global & India
Economic parameters that according to an Economist are likely to emerge in the global context in next two years are :

(a) A strong possibility of recession & sustained low growth in the US.
(b) If the US enters this scenario then whole economy will suffer because global economy is dictated by demand from consumers in the US.
(c) Regardless of rise of China, India, Brazil & Russia ,world economy will not be able to sustain the present growth rate.
(d) China today has a trade surplus of 200 Billion American Dollars & is not a self sustained economy. Similarly, India too is not a self sustained economy.
(e) The American Dollar will slide further as loans worth 300 Billion US Dollars will be reset next year with higher interest rate, the borrower in the US will be hit very badly. Seventy five per cent of the US Economy which is driven by consumer spending will have a major impact.
(f) The US & the EuropeanUnion(EU) followed by Japan will resort to cut in interest rates to stall the American Dollar & their currencies from a free fall.Indian Economy & monetary policy will be hit the most by this global impact.

These are final warning signs for Indian Economists & the Reserve Bank of India(RBI) to take drastic measures to improve Economic fundamentals.

FORUM

It seems good sense prevailed

I fully disagree with the views of Deepak Singh and fully agree with the views of R Singh. Extensions in the service should be given only in exceptional circumstances to exceptional persons who have extraordinary talent or ability. Unfortunately, majority of the people who are about to retire do not fall in to such exceptional category. So, it would be prudent not to give any kind of extension to them. Moreover, the younger people are much more talented, fit (both mentally and physically) and bright than the oldies. Let us give them a chance to rebuild the resurgent and resilient India. There is no point in giving more chance to failures of the past. Thankfully, it has been reiterated by the Minister that there is no proposal for raising retiring age in the Sixth Pay Commission even to 62 years, leave alone to 65 years. At last good sense seems to have prevailed on him.

What is the fault of this 1973 batch IAS officer ?

You are missing an important point on this issue. While there is a lot of talk of Civil Service Reforms and fair play, the 1973 batch Tamil Nadu Cadre officer who is the first in the empanelled list and one of the most highly qualified officers in the service, is waiting for a posting in the Centre ,when his juniors have already been placed. Is it because this soft spoken,intelligent and utterly honest officer can be no Minister's favourite?

Rice does not reach the poor in North-East

Who is the Cabinet Secretary to intervene in this matter? The C&AG of India's Audit Report 2006 and 2007 talks of a scam of Rs.300 crores of fraudulent payments made by FCI to the Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh on tranportation of foodgrains in Arunachal Pradesh. All this Hill Transport Subsidy is a shame and should be stopped. I am to inform you that rice does not reach the poor in the villages and all of it is diverted for sale in the open market at Guwahati / Bongaigaon and even at Punjab & Haryana even after the rakes are shown as despached for the North East.Indian bureaucracy needs the North East to survive to generate "welfare Schemes" for themselves. The Cabinet Secretary should have not intervened in this matter of deciding on transportation rates as he has no locus standi on the matter. Even the FCI is not clear what rates are to be paid. Let us hope we don't have another fraud being perpetrated on the nation.Last of all I want to state that the rich get richer & richer while the poor get poorer & poorer and die inhuman deaths. Our poor Arunachalis are made scapegoats by the FCI, Ministry of Food, Govt. of India and worst still by our own leader politicians!!! These are reasons for movements in the North East.

Aaj Ki Awaz

On EC's appointment as Leader of Opposition should be included in decision process,
Had this been done Opposition could not have said Navin Chawla is pro Congress!!!

Follow the NHRC selection process for EC too,
This would be the right thing to do!!

Allegations of Navin being a Congress man are not 'navin' or new,
For favouring Congress he's been named in quite a few!!!

But EC deserves kudos for the UP elections,
No dhaandli or violence as people made their selections!!

Though SP is pretty cut up with EC,
Enforcing Commission is how SP karti hai decipher EC!!!

Amar Singh says that SP is not Commies ki subsidiary or auxiliary ,
And aside he adds neither is it Commies ki ancillary!!!

This statement was made in connection with Presidential race,
This means for Somnath's candidature Commies SP se opposition karren ge face!!

And Amar says SP will not support Congress's candidate,
But some say towards Congress he's mellowed down of late!!

Maybe something is in the offing,
Though in Public at each other Congress and SP continue scoffing!!

And Amar wonders why Vajpayee ko Congress nahi karti berate????
Trying to show that Vajpayee's Congress's mate!!

Fact is Vajpayee is respected and does not indulge in personal attacks,
Something that Amar lacks!!!

Vajpayee is pro or against on issues.....objective,
Not like Amar who is abs subjective!!!

That's why even today Vajpayee is Indians favourite choice for Prime Minister!!!
And Indians would consider Amar or Mulayam becoming PM as something sinister!!

Commie Bardan says that Commies should review UPA ko support,
On this seems he's prepared a detailed report!!!

He also says that PC cannot lecture them,
Say PC apni lecturing ki habit karre stem!!

Says PC has a different outlook,
As per him PC's policies are form a Capitalist's book!!!

Is it true that behind the scenes Commies are pressing that PC be shifted???
And in the upcoming reshuffle will this present to the Commies be gifted???

PC could be given Commies and Industry in Kamalnath's place!!!
In the Dal and Channa scandals Kamalnath's lost face!!

Rahul says for UP he's got a micro and macro outlook,
At present on the macro picture karr raha hai Rahul look!!

Some say Congress's revival in UP in the near future is impossible,
And it could take years and years to make the impossible possible!!!

Rahul's done maths so he knows what probability means,
Odds are by the time Congress comes to power in UP Rahul's son will be in his teens!!!

Even this time Congress is not improving its position in the State,
Though its increased vote share as a sign of it's rising popularity it'll use to debate!!

Aam Aadmi says Congress is a ditcher and Sonia says BJP is the one,
Aam Aadmi questions Congress that for him what's Congress done????

Prices have gone through the roof,
And for its anti Aam Aadmi policies this is the clinching proof!!

So Congress needs to sit down and think how to endear itself to its mascot again,
And for starters Congress needs to study where and why Aam Aadmi ko ho rahi hai pain!!

Now that they've opened the Encounters Pandora's Box!!!
How about opening the Punjab encounters Pandora's Box's ka locks????

Killing fields and mass burial grounds of Punjab….. hope Congress remembers???
When most rural families in Punjab had at least one or two missing members!!

And KPS Gill still talks about Police being given license to kill,
No wonders he's called 'Kanpati Pe Shot' Gill!!!

If Pandher is let off in the Nithari murders it'll be murder of justice,
Affected families feel he's going to be let off and are crying against this injustice!!

Its impossible that he was not in the know,
To this house pretty often he used to go!!!

They say a particular stench was prevailant all over the house,
And it smelt worse than a dead mouse!!!

Dravid got a bloody nose,
As a ball in the practice session suddenly rose!!!

Many Captains of Teams that lost in the World Cup resigned,
First Dravid too wanted to go but then changed his mind!!!

No lessons have been learnt from this World Cup debacle or humiliating loss,
In fact first to resign should have been BCCI's Boss!!!

One thing is for sure and that is Sehwag's an ulimited lives ka cat,
Is in the team despite having let India down time and again with the bat!!!

So they continue playing with Indian cricket,
Indian cricket remains on a sticky wicket!!
