Crosscheck about Harinarayan
Some time back I read a remark about J Harinayan former chief Secretary Andhra Pradesh on his appointment as the Chairman of some regulatory authority. He was applauded as one of the most outstanding IAS officers in this website. This has angered many IAS officers as also those who had an occasion to work with him. As a serving officer in the central government I would reserve my comments about J Harinarayan. If you want to know about him then it will be proper to get a 360degree appraisal about him so that the opinion of his peers and subordinates are also known about the leadership quality of an officer is also known before grading an officer. Spoiling the career of officers does not make an officer outstanding! Dr Mehrotra is requested to crosscheck the position before highlighting somebodys quality. Harinarayan was serving as Secretary Ministry of Water Resources before his posting as Chief Secretary AP. Please include my opinion in your esteemed website which is viewed by lakhs of people daily to clarify the position. A good subordinate is nit necessarily a good officer. I would request the Government to include the views of subordinates and peers in the performance appraisal forms of all officers of the level of Directors and above.

General seats should go to general candidates
If I am not wrong, it may be those who filled their forms as reserved candidates but secured high rank in the list covering general seats. The separate lists should be prepared of the successful candidates as per their categories of reservation or otherwise indicated in the application from. Therefore general seats should go to general candidates only and reserved seats to reserved candidates only in accordance of their claim in the application forms.
Ram Kanwar
There should be equality
All the Pay Commissions are repeating the same mistakes every ten years. Officers of the Services like IAS should not be given additional two increments from beginning. They rather be given special allowance, if any, for doing any special duty. Such allowances should also be permitted all other central services including IPS and IFS. Officers of the same batch (appointed in the same years) should get promotion on equal footing and at the same time.
Mohans
Think of other services also
How specious can the arguments given by the IAS become? It is true that the 1989 batch of IAS is being empanelled at the level of Joint Secretary and it takes about 19 years for IAS officers to be empanelled as Joint Secretary in Government of India. It is also true that about 50-60% are empanelled in a batch (rest might not have applied). However, how many years does it take for the DoPT to allow other services to be even empanelled? Currently, 1982 batch of the IRS (Customs) and IRS(Income Tax) is being allowed to even be empanelled (seven years behind the heaven born).

State Police Service officers should get their due
A large no. of talented and competent officers from the State Police Services are highly frustrated because they are stagnated at the rank of Additional SP for a period ranging from 2 years to 10 years and your website is reporting that there is acute shortage of SP level officers in the country. A news item says that Honourable PM has also said that there is shortage of Police Officers in the country. It can happen in India only where at one place there are large no. of officers eligible to occupy the post and govt. is saying that there is acute shortage of officers. If the Government is really serious about improvement in the Law & order machinery it should first remove the frustration among the Police officers in states who are stagnating in one rank for more than 10-15 years. In today's scenario, All most all IPS officers reach the position of DGP i.e. 6 promotions and there is no dearth of vacancy for them while an officer recruited as SI can reach the rank of DSP at the fag end of his career i.e. 2 promotions only. Similarly most of the Officers recruited as DSP will at the most become SP that too at the end of their career i.e. only one promotion. DSP if they get promoted are stagnated in the rank of Addl. SP for 10-12 years where an IPS officer rarely stays for an year. Some from SPS are lucky who get into IPS can dream of becoming DIG. Govt. must immediately post all eligible Additional SPs in the rank of SP to correct this shortage.

Department of Personnel & Training
It seems that this Department is meant only for Gazetted employees i.e. Under Secretary/Sr.PPS/PPS and above. As far as lower employees are concerned like LDCs/UDCs/Assistant/PAs & Steno 'D'; this department is not there. Reason: A steno grade'D' after 22-25 years of service is given an adhoc-PA post and these persons are made to sit late beyond office hours. The same applies to Assistants and UDCs. Persons holding the post of Under Secretary/PPS/Sr.PPs mostly run away around 6.00 P.M.(though they pay package contains remuneration like reimbursement of telephone bills, newspaper; hiked Transport Allowance; tea allowance etc.)But when it comes to promotion etc.; tonly non-gazetted staff are treated as lower level citizens and in spite of cadre restructure which took place recently (i.e. about 4-5 years back)they stay where they are. But the case is not so for the gazetted employees. Hope 6th CPC is aware of this or deliberately they pretend they do not know this.

Government should play the role of a mother
Government should play the role of a mother and it should not allow IAS to claim that they are superior among all other services. A mother never says that her only one child is able and he should avail all the facilities of mother's property.

Give benefits to the pensioners
Now that 6th CPC is being reviewed ,why not give the pensioners a benefit of once in four years LTC. Railways gives passes to pensioners. Life expectancy has increased ,government can earn some revenue, pensioners can enjoy and bless the government.

Please put this question on the web
What is amazing about ITS of Sanchar Bhawan

Aaj Ki Aawaz
News that we are paying for the Judges holidays is causing us heartburn!!!!
On Judges holidays why Sarkaar paisa karr hai burn????
Judges are perturbed at the timing of this revelation!!!!
Very soon Court is going to be on vacation!!!
But then they'll say 'when our Minister tend to do this all the time',
'If the we do so what's the crime'????
Politicians demand that Judges should follow the Rule Book,
Apne giraabaan mein politicians kyon nahi karte look!!!
Laloo flouting the rule book itself could get him into the Guinness Book!!!
How can politicians point fingers and let themselves off the hook!!!
Public should say both are in contempt of 'us',
Freeloading bahuth ho gayi abh karro buss!!!
I'm still flummoxed at this Sarkaar's Vote Bank fixation!!!
This Sarkaar cares little for rest of Indians and the Indian Nation!!!
Now a FBI kind of Agency is being mooted,
Congress says for India this American model is well suited!!!
But how about changing the mindset of those who would control FBI????
Don't we get to see everyday politicians controlling CBI!!!
If Congress is in power FBI rather than going after terrorists and terror,
Would be looking to prove that the terror activity was just a human error!!!
And without a strong anti terror law India 's FBI would be toothless!!!!
Incapable, ineffectual and powerless!!!
FBI would in the Indian context mean….. Feigning Bureau of Investigation!!!
Just pulling a fast one on the Nation!!!
Kapil Sibal says that BJP is responsible for the terror deaths!!!!
We are awaiting his logic for this with baited breaths!!!
Of course being the top notch Lawyer that he is he'll use his skills,
But fact is 'such a mindset and complacency kills'!!!!
SP has ordered its Leaders who are invited to the UPA bash,
That this invite for showing SP as a force they have to en-cash!!!
SP Leaders who are invited say they are committed but will see if they can find the time,
Showing that for the UPA invite they don't care a dime!!!
They say this as they prepare to attend the bash,
There is news that with Amar Big B bash mein karr saktha hai gatecrash!!!
After all with the Gandhi's he too has to break ice,
Though to gain entry he may use his Sarkaar disguise!!!!
Congress is hell bent on being sadistic and making SP and BSP sit on the same table!!!
Post the bash this table is going to look like a stable!!!
On the Menu front the news is its going to be an all India fare,
Equal representation is given to dishes from all over India they are taking care!!!
This is going to be the last UPA Party prior to at least a six year drought,
Because next year UPA is going to be kicked out!!!
Then there won't be Parties but from 'shock sabhas' to shok sabhas to chintan sabhas,
To gate meeting outside Lok and Rajya Sabhas!!!!
PC's got his people to ask Economists and Bankers as to when will inflation abate????
And come down to a passable rate!!!
The opinions that he's got have put him in a flux or tizzy!!!!
Now on calculating how much of India is affected by inflation he's got busy!!!!
Because inflation cannot be turned off like a switch or a tap!!!!
And he's calculating how much electorally will Congress take the rap!!!
But to show the Public he's fighting inflation fatigues karre ga PC wear,
To show us that ihe declared war on inflation and inflation ko karr raha hai dare!!!
Seeing PC Manmohan could also do the same!!!!
Because as an economist head of this Sarkaar he shares a major portion of the blame!!!
And for all you know Sonia and Rahul will do the same too!!!
After all in Public they too have to show their mooh!!!
And if Sonia dons fatigues Congressmen will all do the same!!!!
Following High Command is the name of the game!!!
In the end PC could start a fatigue wave!!!!
And in India it could become a rave!!!
So very soon India could end up looking like an Army Camp,
Uniformed but without the Army discipline stamp!!!!
Big B says ' power is never given its taken'!!!!
Seems to the real situation prevailing in SP's rule abhi abhi kiya Big B ne awaken.
SP tried its best to grab power but ultimately Democracy won,
And in because of its goonda raj SP was done!!
Confucius says…. In a Democracy asli jurram is when power is taken or grabbed,
And this is done only after in the back democracy is stabbed!!!
