FORUM
Retirement age ?
Retirement Age. If there should not be any salary hike and the government should only to take action curb corruption in the Central government office. corruption should be curbed OK. But what will be the fate of sincere and honest government staff if there is no salary hike? You want that those sincere and honest officers should be deprived of their basic requirements. Definitely the present salary is not meeting even the genuine requirements of those honest officers.
Balaji
Enhancement of retirement age a welcome step
Enhancement of retirment age is a welcome step. It is strange that for teaching faculty, judge and more sophisticated disciplines the retirment age is 65 years - but the class which is struggling most and fighting all odds, including bleak future avenues/promotion chances, less pay, non-congenial working atmosphere, bearing all blunt of different govt. failures and unwanted criticism , are treated in a shabby manner. Late marriages further aggravates problems for them. The argument that it does not pave way for talent is fungus. Talented and technocrats are more interested in MNCs, private sector and public undertakings, not in general government service or mediocre technical jobs, excepting for several top level services, like IAS, etc, which is not going to be affected due to increase in retirement age.
This is representation the view of general government employee, not of elite class among them, who think service of 30 to 35 years is enough and old should pave way for young.
Rainanil
Why Retirement Age 65?
You people (so called public servant always think public is your servant). Yes increase the retirement age to 65 so that more and more black money or bribe these public servants can collect. Nobody can get his/her work done from most of the Government Offices without bribe or oblige with gift to the concerned dealing public servant.
In my view the retirement age must be 55 years, so that the young and talented person can join the race.
Can anybody tell me how much of the sarkari babus know how to operate the computer? In this E-governance projects race, when Central Government / State Governments are spend money like water for these projects, these Governments are only working for the upliftment of private vendors by purchasing the latest machines & equipments.
Due to the vote bank politics put the future of young generation in dark.
For a bright future change is must. Don't think of your own post/chair, think like your own son/daughter will also be affected one day.

Government is bankrupt
Government coffers are burdened with nearly Rs.3 lakhs crores (farmers loan waiver, Oil subsidies, interest payments).Savings on account of austerity measures are peanuts.
Rajeeva
IRS austerity
What difference does it make? Only that department save on rental charges. The food menu is still served by ITDC unit at Vigyan Bhawan at the rates similar to that of Ashok.

Foreign travel and exchequer
"Foreign travel costs less than 1 per cent" One percent of budget seems to be nothing to some one. One percent budget when meant for One percent population tends to serve more than one crore people. One crore population may also meant nothing to someone, that means.
Alklin
Foreign travel by Babus
Even if foreign travel constitutes less than 1 percent of the budget of the Finance Ministry, is this any justification for being perpetually seated abroad? A dossier should be got prepared on all officers of joint secretary rank and above, on travel undertaken abroad by them, in the last five years, whether for official discussions, training purpose, attending conferences, visits as Consultants( as many of these bureaucrats are ) on UN Bodies etc. It would certainly be an eye- opener !
The Gains from such foreign jaunts are best known to the officers themselves ! If these officers attending to High Priority govt work in India ,are abroad ,almost every month,and occasionally ,for days at a stretch, WHO attends to their High Priority work back in India ? If they are so dispensable, are they really needed in the first place ???!!
S Singh
Enough is enough
The readers are fed up with the internecine battle of words between the two factions: CSS and the CSSS .This does not serve any purpose. It only creates bad blood. I am sure that is not the objective of this website. May I request Dr Mehrotra to put a full stop to it. Instead, it will be more appropriate to focus on more serious issues of general importance like the disparity between the elite service and the rest. These are areas of concern which have been crying for attention for decades!.
A K Saxena
CSS ,CSCS and CSSS
I read your comments that CSCS (LDC/UDCs) are not policy makers and have placed the CSSS on the better side. It is very unfortunate that now all LDCs/UDCs are graduate and 70% of them are doing table work. In the earlier days an LDC/UDC used to work only in diary and dispatch but Now a days they are given table work, and they do their job with responsibility and good manner. The government must take care for their future and merge CSSS to CSS.
Prabhakar Mishra
Penny wise,Pound foolish !
If foreign travel constitutes less than 1 percent of the Finance Ministry budget, is it any justification for these high fliers to be perpetually seated abroad ? There should be a dossier prepared on the number of visits undertaken abroad ,whether for official work, training purpose or as consultants empanelled with UN Bodies ( as quite a few of these bureaucrats are ) on each officer ,for the last five years.It would certainly be an eye opener.
Further, the Gains from such trips ,made on official account, are best known to the officers themselves!
