Your website is doing a great job by providing an outlet to the personnel of various services to vent their grievances against real or perceived (In most cases real) discrimination of one's service vis-a-vis other services in matters of promotion etc. Indian Forest Service-wallahs feel let down vis-a-vis the other two All India Services, Group A services feel discriminated vis-a vis IAS, Engineering services consider themselves worse off than the other group A services. Central Secretariat Service officers have their own grouse against slow promotions. The latest is the comparison among Armed Forces and other Paramilitary forces. Everyone seems to be disgruntled and angry .This is definitely not conducive to good performance by the government machinery .The whole system appears to be rusty. The Sixth Pay Commission and Second Administrative Reforms Commission should have gone deeply into this problem in the interest of healthy administration. Those who are incharge of the personnel policies need to reflect on this. A discontented workforce can not deliver. It is therefore necessary to first create a good climate for performance and then devise all those high-sounding and complicated Performance Monitoring and Evaluation systems. The Government should take note of all these anomalies among the services and take corrective measures to bring about a balance among different services .After all each one has an important role to play in the governance of the country.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Poor…. UPA’s report card on completion of a year!
Its performance is in reverse gear!!
 
Equally to blame Congress and its Allies!
NCP….Pawar is responsible for food woes and for Praful’s family AI flies!
 
Inflation a Pawar creation has caused UPA maximum ill will!!
And sad part is Pawar is at his games still!!
 
DMK because of the 2 G ghoos kaand and an AWOL Minister!!!!!
Raja deserves the boot and Alagiri should be reverted to TN and some Ministry given to his sister!
Congress’s share!!
Bottom line is Congress ‘refuses to take care’!!
NREGA’s leak is denting the good it should do politically!!
And UPA’s now re-looking at the RTI act analytically!!
Women’s Bill seems to have been aimed more for the hoopla it made!!!!
And in the Nuclear Civil Liability Bill ‘American tune Mohna played’!
 
When it comes to its own Ministers Congress has been alert to public criticism!
But to public criticism of Ministers of Allies it suffered from autism!!
 
On Judicial reform Congress has developed cold feet!!!!!
The roar has turned into a bleat!!
 
Misuse of CBI is also a blot on Congress!!
For its own benefits into inaction or action it does hold back or press!!
 
Teacher’s remarks….. this is perceived to be a Congress Sarkaar!!
So for its own misdeeds and misdeeds of Allies it is Congress that takes the maar!!!
 
Teacher adds…….Congress cannot change the company it is keeping!!!
But Allies misdeeds at Congress’s doorstep are heaping!!
 
And… Congress has to stop playing its old games!!!!
And its internal power games/wars it controls/ tames!
 
There is no comment from CBI whether the documents in The Hindu are true or not!
And a technical reprieve from Hindu Barkha and Singhvi has got!!
 
Shouldn’t there be an inquiry on what the article alleged!
Not a ‘just for the sake of it’ but full-fledged!!
 
Barkha Dutt and Vir Singhvi still stand in the dock!!!
But because of their Media clout further action they have as of yet been able to block!
 
It is obvious on ‘Glut’ Singhvi and ‘Socialite Barkha,
Ho rahi hai UPA ki bakshish ki barkha!
 
On her talk shows one can see Barkha’s shallowness!!
Seems where there is supposed to be a soul there is hollowness!!
 
Confucius says…… today sadly some in the Media have become Power Brokers!
And they take us to be a ‘bunch of jokers’!!!
 
Adds…… they feel they control us via bytes or the printed word!
On what has been alleged about Barkha and Vir Indians should be shocked and stirred!

CSS cadre agitated
The CSS cadre at New Delhi is very much agitated over the issue of increasing the age of retirement to 62 years. After coming to power the Congress has also looted our money and do not wish to fulfill the demand of aging employees who entered the service at the late age and when the children were to finish their studies they were forced to retire. actually other services in professors grade/teachers and judiciary enjoy the 62 and 65 years of retirement age, the CSS is being given an empty hand this time. congress will never be back again let the bosses should know.

Wonderful !

I appreciate the initiative taken by MHA. DOPT should instruct all the Ministries/Deptts to follow this action.
Subrata Bandopadhyay

Regarding posting of CSS officer with Ministers/Secretaries
Appreciable

Every citizen in India is a taxpayer in some form or the other hence he has the right to know as to how nation’s money is spent. His step to fight tooth and nail till end of his life against CSSS is also praiseworthy. Anju Srivastava may like to take up the matter with his/her administration before proceeding to courts. Since it is Administration of any Ministry, Department who keep deputing CSS officers to the personal sections of Ministers/secretaries for reasons best known to them. I would also like to request Anju Srivastava to kindly spell out the drastic action he has in mind in the event of any benefit to CSSS from courts. Anju Srivastava may also like to comment on the aggressively planned or mis-planned merger of CSS with CSSS.
Kaushal

She seems to have gone nuts
Anju Srivastava seems to have gone nuts. She is more interested in fighting with CSSS officers than focusing on her work. There are many of her ilk who vouch for their so called superficial and non-existent supremacy over CSSS. Kindly concentrate on your work to make other tax payers count for their money.
Ravi

It is unreasonable
Arti has made a point regarding dissatisfaction amongst the various services.
The services should also appreciate that everyone had a choice to appear in IAS and allied services exam. I was selected in the army, allied services and IAS and I opted for IAS. Infact, my case went to PM Nehru whether I should be relieved from Allied class 1 services to join IAS without penalty and PM decided in my favour, perhaps, taking the view I had tried harder again to get into IAS so the dissatisfaction in other services vis a vis IAS does not appear reasonable.
Now the issues are different which is affecting the morale of the services. The toppers in IAS may not reach the top if they do not please the political bosses and unfortunately at the time, say Secretary's level, when they are expected to give unbiased advice they are out to get extension or appointment in regulatory authorities by going out of the way helping the corrupt politicians. This is affecting the morale of the services and nobody is there to look into the genuine grievances of the other services. The PM and Sonia Gandhi should take a decision to retire every Government servant at the age of retirement if they want to improve the image of Government and bring the services back to glory. Most officers at the very top are retired and re-employed officers and the image of services has taken a severe beating.
Senior Citizen

When would UPA Govt wake up ?
Even after one year extension to CS & his term coming to an end, still new CS not decided. When would UPA Government improve & take timely decisions?
Babubhai Vaghela

Make it more attractive
If we have to attract the real talent in the Civil service including the Foreign Service, this should be made more attractive, fair promotional avenues, less political intervention and also a national character at grass root educational level. Well this is like day dreaming but in reality India only needs this.
Harish Kumar

No more heart burns
From all the observations and jokes, Caste is here to stay. But then Everybody can have reservation-Strictly in proportion to the population, so no more heart burn.
Anita 

Castiest India
What is harm in having caste based census seeing its utility in reservation policy at various level. Why apprehensions of such a magnitude??

DoPT conceling report
Department of Administrative Reforms of Government of India has got a survey done on the state of civil services in India through Centre of Good Governance Hyderabad. The report of the survey has been submitted by CGG to DARPG sometime back but strangely DAPRG has not put this report on its website though the same is now available on the website of CGG i.e. cgg.gov.in. I suppose the mandarins of DoPT would not like to make the effects of their (mis)deeds public which has led to a wide spread frustration across all the services.
