IFS Vs Other service officers in Missions Abroad.
We have been seeing the views of many officers regarding how IAS is exploiting the other services and how IPS is ill treating the other Policing cadres. The same happens with IFS (foreign), officers who treat the other service officers and also the IFB(B),cadre or promotee officers very badly in the Missions abroad.
It is very unfortunate that the bright officers from other services (IPS, IAS, Defence, Scientists etc),are posted abroad by various departments based on their functional requirement. But MEA governed by IFS officers would ensure that their ranks are reduced to very lower level. You can see an IGP (82 batch IPS), is equated with an IFS officer of 95'batch as 'Councilor' (Director level),. The functional requirement is the same. The ambassador would give more importance to a clerk from MEA than a Group A officer of other service. Because the Group A officer is not up to the mark, according to the Ambassador. However, a foreign posting is important for a non IFS officer, because he earns decent amount of money in such a posting.
Very few IFS officers (HOM or DCM), who are above board (having a broader focus on India's scenario), of course provide a level playing field for all the staff and officers of the Mission without any discrimination to perform better.
With due respect to a very few balanced IFS officers, the remaining lot work in the very closed environment. Many officers are mostly self centered and limit their imagination only for 3 years of their posting in any charge. They are cut off from the society and India. They always feel that 'Foreign' is only for IFS and not for anyone from India. This could be easily perceivable the way the MEA and Missions function. They strongly believe that the delegations come from India to attend meetings, seminars etc are mainly for joy and wasting money. There is no sense of togetherness in Missions because the attitude of many IFS officers. If IAS and IPS are doing funny things, it is only with in India whereas IFS officers do the discrimination in the Missions abroad where huge amount of money (10 times more), is being spent for each and every employee or officer.

Where is the collection going ?
This is in response to the comment that the transfer posting of all IRS, Customs and IPS officer requires to be screened by the CBI. The knowledgeable gentleman who has written the comment must be aware that the cost of collection of taxes is going down considerably, the rate of tax collection is going up every year but is this reflected in the social growth of the country. Who is responsible for the social growth. Isn't it too obvious that the collection of taxes is not a problem and is becoming efficient with every passing day, it is the distribution or the expenditure of these taxes collected, on the social growth that is a problem. Which service is responsible for making expenditure of the government money. We keep on hearing that advance tax collection has increased, tax collection targets have been met, but have we ever heard things like all social development indexes have been achieved, rural development is on an increase and so on. I reiterate that the Government now needs to amend its distribution policy because the collection is now taken care of. If the taxes collected do not translate into social development for the country then do I need to say that where is this collection going?

IPS is willing to be screened
The IPS is perfectly willing to be screened by the CBI anytime for disproportionate assets if the IAS agrees to be so screened even once every five years!
Vijay Kumar
Comment on screening IRS and IPS
It is a matter of shame that, a person like Sanjai Sharma, is allowed to make ludicrous and unwarranted comments, like screening of IRS & IPS officers after their postings in certain places. He should do his home work before opening his mouth. Powers which necessitate public contact have been totally removed,from both the departments. Audit & Vigilance play cupid in troubling officers. Postings are based on vigilance clearance. Public contact has become minimal. But in order to regulate, preference may be given to first timers to consider postings to Delhi& Bombay. He should know that IAS is the most protected service on earth. After committing all sorts of bureaucratic atrocities.

Shortage of SP level officers
It is ironical that there is shortage of SP level officers in all states while there is acute stagnation at Deputy SP level in every state. This shortage can immediately be made good by SPS officers without any financial implications. But who is bothered about lesser mortals. An open appeal to all those who call shots in home departments or cadre controllers of SPS.
M N Tiwari
Pay Commission report
This is concerning Lahiri's views such as "Pay Commissio..most persons (such as Tenese ),... seem to think that it is the 6 Pay Commission, which has introduced the differential between IAS and other Group A Services...All earlier Pay Commissions had given the " edge " to the IAS, which the 6th one has merely retained.
The Pay Commission has given the justification for retaining the edge... This Pay Commission has done nothing new in this respect.
P K Lahiri
All services are equal
Most persons (such as Tenese), are not the only people who are of the opinion that Sixth Pay Panel has done something extra for IAS officers. For eaxample it was one IAS officer who said,"Pay commission has only converted the de-facto status of IAS as no. 1 service to dejure". Lahiri has also accepted that "The Pay Commission has given the justification for retaining the edge" etc. etc. on this forum itself. Therefore, me (Tenese), and others are not wrong to feel the same difference. I would rather say that all the earlier Pay Commissions and others were not wrong to work on the principle all services are equal and fix same scales for all services. Difference if any, was mainly just like a special allowance, thereby suggesting no service based edge of any over others. This was also not resented by the affected people as vehemently as today. It is also done in such an age in which other specialist services are progressively gaining an edge over generalists and the generalists are gradually losing their earlier privileged position to facilitate all round progress. They should also not forget that even the most foolish and incompetent person start doing outstanding job when given due recognition and responsibility. But here things are quite amazing, generalists tend to grab each and every specialised job as and when it start gaining importance. This tendency is quite unconstitutional, immoral and against human dignity and progress.
Tenese
Disparity in pay-scales
With reference to the comments of Shri Lahiri stating the factual position that disparity in pay scales and status between the IAS and other services has existed even before independence i.e since the days of the ICS it is submitted that it is extremely sad that even 50 years after independence Pay Commission after Pay commission has only sought to widen the disparity but not reduce it. Prior to 1947 the foreigners who ruled us promoted disparity but post indepence the IAS officers are same nationality as the central service officers then where is the need for disparity. The problem is not with the Pay Commission recommendations as its roots lie in the training imparted in the Mussorie Academy which promotes the 'We the superior beings" culture in the 'Brown sahibs' as well ! This is the 21st century and it is 50 years since independence let the IAS officers be trained to take the responsibility of working for the common man. They should be trained to think change and think of policies that generate the greatest good of greatest numbers than what they are doing currently i.e promoting their own greatest good .Either the system of holding a common exam for the IAS and the Central Services should be abandoned or the system of building glaring disparities between officers recruited through the same exam should be put to an end.

All of us suffer from false notion
The raging debate on your forum, in the context of CPC recommendations, seems to me to be hugely presumptuous and conceited. All of us seem to suffer from the false notion of self-importance while all the civil services, including IAS, have become so irrelevant in the present age of rapid globalization and private entrepreneurship. The reasons for this are not too far to discover, one being the time that we are wasting on debates like this, rather than using it on some national issues relevant to the society and our poor masses.
Having said that, let us do some plain speaking and soul- stirring:
o You decide the rules of any game before you begin to play, and not cry later when you start losing. In our complex socio-legal administrative structure, you do need a cadre to coordinate between conflicting sectoral demands. Such a Cadre should, and would need to have an "edge" over other services in terms of authority, powers and also the remunerations. You could call it by any name ( IAS, IPS, IAAS, IRS, CSS whatever), but it has to exist. Members of this cadre have to have different kind of training, exposure and work experience. TODAY, this service is known as IAS.
o It is a good idea to have the facts right before entering a debate. I wonder if other service people are aware that even among the IAS, only 50 to 60 % are getting empanelled as Joint Secretary, 33% as Additional Secretary and just about 20% as Secretary. People actually getting a posting and joining GOI is even further less.
o The argument that a difference of only a few marks scored in UPSC exam should not be a handicap for life, is palpably wrong. A candidate who misses IPS or IRS by a few marks and is not able to get into the civil services at all, may claim that he should be made a Deputy SP or a Deputy Income Tax officer at least.
o However, the "edge" that we are talking about should not be too wide, so as to create jealousy and heart-burning. The IAS people should not object to revision of CPC recommendations to that extent.
Obviously an IAS Officer
Appointments of JS and above should be screened by CBI
The CBI should screen not only the IRS(Customs),,IRS(Income Tax), and the IPS as rightly suggested by Sanjai Sharma, in view of the black sheep in the IAS fraternity itself, it should screen all IAS officers who have put in 9 years of Service and should do so once every 5 years after that. In addition, appointments to posts of Joint Secretary and above to the Government of India and Secretary to the State Governments should be made only after such a CBI screening to prevent future AP Singhs.
A K Singh
SP level officers
I support the views of Deepak. At least 60% post at SP level must be reserved for officers from State Police Service. Rest of 40% to be filled by IPS. Also it must be done in such a way that young officers form SPS also get a chance to become SP in time. At DIG rank the ratio must be 50:50(IPS:SPS), and at IG level the ratio should be 60:40(IPS:SPS),. This will provide a very big moral boost to State Police Officers. But this should not happen that all districts will be headed by DIGs in future. Seniors must provide their experience at higher levels rather than involving in day to day Policing.

Bungling in allotment of bungalows in Delhi
With reference to Department of Estates, all kinds of bungling is being done by allotting bungalows in Lutynes Delhi to ineligible officers of IAS , IPS OR IRS. Bypassing the prior claims of senior additional judges of the High court who were appointed recently. As a citizen I would like to know as to how was bungalow no 1 Mahadev Road allotted to one Vijay Dev while he was serving as Director of Estates when officers much senior to him were in the queau! Similarly how was bungalow no 17 allotted to one Venkateshwarlu an IAS officer and former PS to Jaipal Reddy UD Minister just before his transfer to north east. Orders are that permission can be granted only for retention of existing accommodation rather than seeking a change and then getting it regularised by the backdoor. Similarly how was bungalow no 19 Mahadev Road allotted to a junior police officer when officers much senior to him are already waiting for the same accommodation for much longer period. Are these officers senior in the order of precedence to the High court judges who have been waiting for bungalow type accommodations in the general pool, I would request Dr Suresh Mehrotra ji to bring these views to the Government for taking corrective measures and respect the wishes of the high court Judges.

CSS-Agony and Ecstacy.
The greatest setback suffered by the CSS is stopping its recruitment through the Civil Services examination about four years back for some ulterior motive .This has taken the sheen out of the service. The idea was to restrict its promotional avenues to suite an elitist service. According to insiders who participated in the meeting of the Committee of Secretaries. About four years back the agenda for the COS was already approved by the then Home Minister L. K.. Adwani.This was BJP style of functioning. The COS had no option but to grudgingly fall in line before the matter was finally approved by the highest competent authority.This is amatter of record and the information and documents could be obtained by invoking thr RTI Act. This statement is being made without malice towards anyone, I do not mean to hurt anyone But this a fact of history of civil services in India. Worse and ironically the present government agrees with the BJP at least on this single point! I request Dr Mehrotra to further probe into this matter as a seasoned correspondent.
Aay Kay
Plight of the CSS
I would go along with Aay Kay for portraying the plight of the CSS. As a serving SAG level officer of CSS, I would like to cite a decision taken by the power that be in selecting Members of the Staff Selection Commission by overlooking the claims of a rightful co ntender not once but twice in quick succession A wishy-washy reply was given in response to RTI application by DOPT on the plea that the decision does not come under the purview of the RTI Act .It looks that there is a need to first give gums to the new dispensation before providing teeth! The DoPT have refused to part with relevant notings of its file in flagrant violation of the orders of the Central Information Commission. The cold war on this general issue between DoPT and the CIC is still raging .Unfortunately, the officer concerned has since retired We the CSS officers strongly seek the suo motto cognizance of this matter and order a judicial inquiry into this case We also request Dr Mehrotra, a seasoned journalist, to bring this matter to the notice of appropriate authority through this website. We also seek immediate placement of all CSS officers who have been in the panel of joint secretaries for years together instead of earmarking all such posts for an elite service . This website is our last resort! .

Manmohan says from politicizing terror acts Opposition should stay away!!!
' For Jaipur blasts BJP is responsible' Congress karr rahi hai say!!!
In fact usually his Party does just the opposite of what he says or joh karta hai demand!!!
But then don't forget he also works as per the orders of High Command!!!
So High Command orders him not say 'please keep politics at bay'!!!
And just the opposite apni Party ko karti hai say!!!!
HMV Singhvi gave an indication of this when he said 'he can say a lot'!!!!!
Seems instructions from High Command he had already got!!!!!
Or maybe now Manmohan is used to the game!!!!
If Party says 'well done' he says the opposite 'shame shame'!!!
PC says India is not a soft State,
If India was not a soft State terrorism we would beat at any rate!!!
Shivraj Patil says that Opposition on the blasts nahi karre Sarkaar ko blast!!!
Slip of the tongue....I'm sure the minute Sonia hears this she'll put Patil's tongue in a cast!!!
BJP says that Rahul's trip to Bundelkhand was superstition based!!!!
Some Astrologer advised him to go to Bundelkand and so this place he raced!!!
Has the new found dosti with Amar Singh rubbed off on to Rahul baba?????
And like Amar Rahul too has found a soothsaying Baba????
With all his rings Amar looks like a Bappi Lehri clone!!!
And if rumor is true then Amar is not going to be alone!!
Very soon Rahul will also sport rings and talismans or charms,
On his fingers and maybe toes and on his neck and arms!!
To protest poll violence Congress MLAs have resigned!!!
Funnily they submitted resignations to Sonia or may be resignations have to be countersigned!
If they were serious resignations should have been given to the Speaker,
If byelections are held for the seats Congressmen have resigned Congress will emerge weaker!
Delhi is abuzz with the undue hurry Mantris are showing!!!
But this is not surprising as this happens when Sarkaar 'is going'!!!!
Elections are due next year and targets have to be met!!!!
'Targets have to be met' I'm sure idea is very easy to get!!!
In Singapore Laloo has been using Bovine talk to show his management skills!!!
And for this illogical Bovine talk we are footing the bills!!
Laloo says Railways is like a Jersey Cow,
He should also explain ki cow ko milk kaise karte hai..... when and how!!!
They say Rahul Baba has still not recovered from the ear full that he got!!!
From the shouting he got in Amethi his ears are still hot!!!!
Rahul Baba Public is now changing ..... no longer the gullible lot!!!!
Better think before you promise... should I or should I not!!!
Big B says sympathy makes one weak,
Seems this man does not think before yeh karta hia speak!!!
When people loose their near and dear sympathy is only natural!!!
Why is this dolt trying to be unnatural????
Confucius says....... There's a time to lend a shoulder to cry,
And then when the tears dry to make him or her stand up there's a time to try!!

REC Finances NTPC-TNEB mega project (UPDATED)
The Rural Electrification Corporation Limited (REC) (REC) of which Chairman cum Managing Director (CMD) is P.Uma Shankar, has been supporting power sector through a range of measures and initiatives, achieved yet another milestone by sanctioning a term loan of Rs. 3796 cores to NTPC Tamil Nadu Power Company, a 50:50 joint Venture Company of NTPC and Tamil Nadu Electricity Board. As against the normal practice of project financers, funding such mega project through consortium route, REC has decided to fund it single handedly.

The project will be commissioned in the 11th plan and is likely to add 1000 MW thermal generation capacity to Tamil Nadu state and would contribute significantly to development of power infrastructure in the State. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) to this effect confirming REC's commitment to the project was signed recently in Chennai by A. Veluchamy Chief Project Manager REC Project Office Chennai & Radha Krishnan Chief Executive NTPC Tamil Nadu Thermal Power Company in the presence of S.
