What went wrong with B.R. Kundal?
Swearing in ceremony at the Governor's House in Srinagar to install B. R. Kundal as a cabinet minister had to be postponed as his voluntary retirement (VR) was not accepted in time. Kundal an RR IAS officer of 1972 batch has had the Jammu card and the caste card up his sleeve. Sheikh Abdullah made him Deputy Commissioner of Udhampur along with officers of 1970 batch. Last year when the incumbent Chief Secretary applied for leave, Whispers predicted that Kundal will be the new CS of J&K. VR of officers below 30 years of service requires sanction of GoI. In case of Ajit Jogi (former CM of Chhattisgarh) it took 2 days. VR of officers of over 30 years of service is sanctioned by the State Governments and the notice period can also be waived by the santioning authority. Last case reported in Whispers is that of Atindra Sen (1978)where acceptance of VR and waiver of notice period took a few hours. Whether sending of Kundal's case to GoI was a case of administrative incompetenc! e or a political manouvre by his opponents within the ruling party is being debated.

Arunachal Beacons (UPDATED)
Arunachal Pradesh used to be the focus of attention in media mostly for oft-repeated Chinese claim on its territory or denial of Chinese visa to Arunachalees. With the announcement of a hefty development package of over Rs. 10,000 crores by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to Arunachal Pradesh during his visit to the State on 31st January last, Centre sends a strong signal to China that Arunachal is an integral part of India. State Chief Minister Mr. Dorjee Khandu says "we Arunachalese being proud Indians testify india's unity in diversity."He further says, relaxation of Protected Area Regime in the State has eased restriction on foreign tourists to visit Arunachal and that his State would soon emerge as one of the major tourist destinations of the country for domestic as well as foreign tourists. Arunachal Pradesh has now 11 tourist circuits for foreign tourists to facilitate the international traveller to traverse the length and breadth of the State. Powers have now been delegated to the State Government for issue of Protected Area Permit (PAP) to visiting foreign tourists in a group of two or more persons for a maximum period of 30 days as against earlier period of 10 days. With the support given by the Centre, the State Government is committed to develop environment friendly tourism as a key industry to make it a major contributor to the state's economic and social growth. New Delhi by permitting air travel for availing LTC to North East has given another indication of its sincerity to promote the hitherto isolated North-East so that it merges with the national mainstream.
· The Centre is also contemplating reopening border trade with the South East Asian nations where half of world's rich live. Once that is opened, Arunachal, as emphatically said by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, would serve as the window to the S E Asia.

Astrological predictions
The country is passing though the Pratayantra Dasa of Ketu and its conjunction with debilated Mars, while the Venus is eclipsed by Sun, may cause violence and assassination of some very important political figure between 12th-14th June 2008, while Venus would be in debilated amsa.
This is more so as Mars is placed in the 8th House of the nation's horoscope.
There would not be a natural catastrophe as Jupiter, though retrograde, is moving to Punarvasu nakshtra ruled by Venus and situation would be normal only after 25th July, that is, after Venus emerges out of the solar conjunction.

Raise in retirement age
Increase of retirement age now after months of the declaration of the 6th Pay Commission Report would be discrimination against all those who have retired during this period. It would amount to disadvantage to those who have retired and advantage to others. This should be avoided at all costs as any announcement now would have very heavy negative effect on the elections as allegations of favour to few would play the negative effect. If announcement is inevitable then it should be made applicable from the day the 6th pay Commission was announced in February 2008 or from 1st January 2008 with an option to all those who retired in this period to join back if they are so willing and ready to deposit back all the dues and terminal benefits they have received along with interest. Such officers must be posted at appropriate places or if the post from where they had left is still vacant to the same post. This would be an equitable decision.

About CSSS-CSS
I read the comments posted by a 'well-wisher of CSS' in response to the views expressed by SK Kalemama about the predicament of the Stenographers' Cadre as a whole in the CSSS after the implementation of the ban on lateral entry of Private Secretary as Under Secretary. It is good that CSS well-wisher at least accepted that their promotional avenues are lot better than the CSSS and that he did not declare the figures adduced by SK Kalemama as false.
Now, I would like to comment on the duties and responsibilities including the level of application of mind that CSS well-wisher has mentioned. In the current scenario and computerisaton of finance and administration, the jobs that were handled by a LDC/UDC are now being taken care of by an Assistant/Section Officer, i.e. file keeping & submission of papers. Actual noting is done at the level of Under Secretary or at least at the level of SO whose noting is limited to only placing the rules position which are either routinely copied from the previous files or are readily available in the books provided by the GoI.
Interestingly, both the members of CSSS and CSS participate in the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination for Section Officer which is conducted by the UPSC every year. CSSS members get through in this examination in good numbers. The subjects that are covered in this competitive examination remain the same for both the members of the CSSS and CSS. When a PA can successfully make it to SO, why can't a PS make it to US through lateral entry or merger? Humorously, as per my CSS colleague, it seems that the question papers set for PA-applicant do not test his intelligence, knowledge, ability, capability, etc. as the questions are from the filmy magazine Mayapuri, Stardust, etc. and not from the Manual of Office Procedure; Constitution, Rules & Regulations which requires a great deal of use of mind!!
If CSS-well-wisher convincingly thinks that the members of the CSSS cannot not use mind; cannot quote rules from the rule-books; cannot compile figures; cannot keep files and papers, then there seems to be no requirement of having the CSSS cadre at all because all the files and papers that are submitted by an Under Secretary route through to the Director/JS/AS/Secy/Minister via a member of the CSSS. The line of contention used by the well-wisher of the CSS that CSS does this and that is indigestible in the sense that an LDC/UDC, and at times a peon, can rise and become Under Secretary and a Stenographer, who used to be bone of the bureaucracy before the advent of computer and till 40 years was being promoted as US, has all of a sudden become a hateful nincompoop. In fact, while writing this, I am laughing at what the CSS-Well-Wisher has written about the duties & responsibilities.
In my considered view, the members of the CSS, viz. Assistant/Section Officer have to come out of the inhibition that they are running the Government and the senior officers such as IAS, IPS, IFS and others are sitting idle and that the members of the CSSS are doing nothing and getting a hefty amount of salary. Working and handling senior officer is not an easy job. I myself have observed many an officer checking with me what is the mood of the boss or else can you check what does he actually want to be written on the file? Further I have noticed that the draft or notings on files done by an Under Secretary - leave alone by an Assistant/Section Officer - have quite often been struck down by the senior officer just because these were not appropriately attempted and lacked many aspects. The entire thing then falls on the head of the member of the CSSS because the whole thing is afresh dictated by the senior officer and is redone by the members of the CSSS. Thus, by working with Top Officers, a member of the CSSS cadre gains such an experience, viewpoint, knowledge & capability that he/she can handle the jobs in his/her position as Under Secretary better than a CSS colleague.
Anyway, to be more precise, a Section Officer who handles an Administrative Wing does only the routine things such as issuing increment order; forwarding leave application; etc., so is the case with a PS. He receives the file and paper and forwards it to the senior officer. I do not think to become an Under Secretary through promotion one needs some special skill or knowledge. Conversely, experience either as PS or as SO is quite enough qualification to stake claim to gain a promotion as Under Secretary.
Also, the disbandment of the cadres of LDC/UDC by the GoI in 2005 and the recommendations of the 6th CPC clearly provide directions to the GoI to change and keep its pace with the requirements of the current time and IT modernisation. Therefore, the recommendation of the 6th CPC on the merger of CSSS into CSS is wise and quite genuine. Even if one goes by the court cases on the issue, the courts of law have always concluded that the administrative issues should be settled by an expert body such as Pay Commission. Now, when the 6th CPC has given its recommendation on merger, it should be happily accepted by all in good spirit.
In my view and in the overall benefit of the GoI, the CSSS should be merged with the CSS as it would facilitate common deployment and will end the inter-rivalry leading to uniformity and bonhomie. The other way out is if GoI wants to keep CSSS alive, it can keep its line upto PS and thereafter CSSS could be merged into CSS.
A CSSS Well Wisher
CSS Vs CSSS - merger is the solution
This is with reference to comments made by 'A CSS Well wisher' to the observations made by SK Kalememes. It may be stated that the observations of Kalememes are based on facts and not on fictions, and has really refrained from commenting anything on the duties and responsibilities of CSS/CSSS. I am neither in CSS nor in CSSS. However, I have closely monitored the functioning of both the services. If a CSS officer equates himself to a CSSS officer then he may switch for one day to one CSSS officer and then experience for himself the exact nature of CSSS duties. It is easy to say 'attending to dictation and personal affairs of officers' but in actual practice it very different and needs far more systematic and organized approach. As the experience goes those CSSS officers who have branched out to CSS have been doing excellent work owing to their experience of being meticulous and organized way of working. Then the 'well wisher' is again critical to the DOPT's attitude. From stenographers' point of view, DOPT, CAT, courts all have done far more harm to stenographers just to benefit CSS officers. We should try to understand that both CSS and CSSS have their own duties and responsibilities and MUST respect them. Now this contention also stands resolved as the Hon'ble CPC has recommended merger of both the cadres which will benefit both the services. This 'merger' thing again irritates CSS and they have come out with their swords to fight against its implementation - why??? We have to seek its answer. I want others visiting this portal to throw some light on this.

IAS and politicians
Possible induction of B R Kundal in J&K cabinet and his joining Congress party by resigning from the post of Chief Secretary is enough to indicate how closely the IAS is networked to the politics. It is this privilege that the service exploits to undermine the rest of the services who are more or less politically neutral. It would be difficult to point to a Central Service officer who has come so close to political bosses due to service profile as such practices are generally discouraged in the Central Services. It looks that the steel frame of India has been rusted after being wetted by the political rain and to restore the neutrality of administration it becomes imperative to bring more of central services on the critical administrative positions.

Absence of e-governance
------------------------
Valuable comments on this website indicate that the number of officers with high integrity and public spirit is quite large.Let this site set up an organisation called Transparency India, to suggest practical ways of enforcing rule of law. We can start with the e-governance requirement on which thousands of crores of rupees have been wasted but there is hardly an office that maintains updated website or maintains a website at all after 8 long years of persistent action by the planning commission under the guidance of Dr. Mantok Singh Ahluwalia himself. The absence of a website is the greatest dis-service to the citizens. The person interacting with the citizen displays arrogance, rudeness, uncivilized behaviour and extreme roughness leading to embarrassing situations like the one with Burney. I have been doing a quite survey of treatment meted out to the citizens at public offices and found that no list of Officers/Other ranks dealing with the public is displayed prominently or otherwise in the office ,no telephone numbers are displayed, numbers given are non existent (ring up any number printed on the MTNL bill outside Luteyan' Delhi) and priced publications are obsolete even in sensitive matters. Two specific instances are apt-1)The rudeness towards citizens including senior citizens at the Regional Passport Office, Behind Hotel Hyatt in Delhi should make any responsible person feel disgust and the rudeness at room no. 7 is something unbelievable. The M/o External Affairs must carry out incognito inspection and simply throw out such elements. In fact, the M.E.A. can set example of "nice" behabiour for others to follow. At the moment it is just the opposite.2)Check if D.D.A. website is available and whether updated information is available on site. D.D.A. has developed colonies far away from Vikas Sadan at I.N.A. market, which is in a corner and citizens have to hire taxis to reach that office. In the absence of an updated website, citizens make unnecessary rounds of that office wasting their valuable time and money. Since DDA deals with residential property, everyone is required to personally go to that office. This includes senior citizens also. The treatment meted out to the citizens calls for immediate remedial action. For this e-governance and e-filing of papers including signatures/photographs/--payments need to be implemented forthwith. If the establishment ignores this call, I would request Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi to act and prove that he means business like his illustrious father. The specifics are as follows: See the D.D.A. document titled Scheme of conversion from leasehold system into freehold (plots/group housing flats) as modified April 2003 priced Rs.50/-and currently being sold. The document says that remittance is to be made in the attached challan, whereas no challan is attached. Try D.D.A. website or telephone number, you fail. Make visit personally and experience the highly rude and uncouth behaviour of the supervisor! He goes beyond the prescriptions in the official priced publication and demands certificates not listed in the list of documents required to be attached. His arrogance raises genuine doubts about the information and you ask him for the amount of conversion and he refuses to disclose. He says go to the commissioner. So you visit the concerned officer dealing with public grievances, He refuses to tell her too. With some assertion from the officer, he grudgingly gives the information. However, his actions make it necessary to visit the DDA office again. The official document states at page 12 the conversion charges as 43400/-Page 10 states that "it has been decided to increase 50%of existing conversion rates w.e.f.15-2-2006".The actual charged was 86700/-.This may ormay not be correct. How and from whom to check the correct position. Is the citizen not entitled to know the correct position at the click of a mouse? Why should She/he be left at the mercy of rude and crude elements? In such circumstances touts operating around public offices can exploit the vulnerable citizens. E-governance is the need of the hour.
The sites of the Housing Boards of the States are equally horrible! Awake, arise, act India for it is now or never.

Courtesy begets courtesy
If receiving the phone direct by DG (Police) MP as reported in your website is considered an indicator of one's simplicity then it is high time that some not so senior officers of the elite Service take a cue from this instead of their swashbuckling based on imponderables like the myth of their superiority over other organized Services, .their batch wise seniority etc. This is the bane of bureaucracy at the Centre and the States .There are several instances to my knowledge when some SAG level officers of the elite Service have refused to come on the line ,let alone return the call, simply because the callers belonged to some inferior Services ! Such blacksheeps bring bad name to their own clan! Extending basic courtesies to members of other Services is foreign to their genre! The flip side to the pessimism of the non IAS clan is the bonhomie extended by some Secretary level officers who refuse to make a distinction. This is one basic cause of the existing inter-Services rivalry for which some corrective measures are required by the Authorities concerned. This is no moral policing and is without malice towards anyone.This is the time for self-introspection before things go out of hands! As the first step, the existing practice of flaunting the names of the Services like IAS,IPS IRS etc on the official letter heads must be stopped altogether as these are in contravention of the Government's guidelines issued with the approval of the then Prime Minister. Everyone has conveniently turned their Nelson's Eye!

CBDT
Well, according to the so called transfer policy, all annual transfer orders are to be normally issued by 30th April and in any case, not later than 31st May. This policy has the approval of the FM.
Now, look at what CBDT has so far been able to achieve this year. It issued an amended policy in first week of May!! Till the end of May, CBDT has been able to issue just one single order (of 17 CCITs)!! That much for the efficiency of CBDT and the sanctity of the transfer policy!! Are you watching, FM ??

Common Sense
An Obituary printed in the London Times........ Interesting and
sadly...rather true.
'Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who
has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was,
since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the
worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend
more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children,
are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well - intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 - year - old
boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens
suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher
fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the
job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly
children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental
consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student; but could
not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have
an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses;
and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common
Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar
in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to
realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in
her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death,
by his parents, Truth and Trust
his wife, Discretion
his daughter, Responsibility
his son, Reason
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If
you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do
nothing.
