Ramesh

Declining standard of Civil Services

N Krishnan's slamming of 'certain ambassadors' is biased. His prescription for churning the IFS out of IAS is simply laughable. There is no alchemy for this conversion. While, the IFS is a 'Specialist (central) service', the IAS is a generalist All India service with different focus and area of operation. One can't make an apple out of an orange. Once, the IFS was the numero uno career option. Not now. It has now fallen to 4th or 5th career option after IAS, IPS,IRS (Custom and Income tax).The latter services carry more authority and, of course, unmentionable privileges. Their Service tags are easily recognizable and the life's minor irritants get easily sorted out particularly in case of luxury postings.

Quality of Civil Service depends on quality of candidates selected and number of vacancies . Larger vacancies results in steep decline in qualifying standards. This explains the general decline in the quality of civil services. Fulfilling Constitutional commitments on recruitment can't be ignored either. Having said that, why should the IAS officers get themselves 'demoted' to IFS? Let us not denigrate the Foreign service that has produced excellent ambassadors, writers, authors, intellectual bloggers and orators. Some have risen to become Vice President and Speaker Lok Sabha. If the pliable IAS officers choose to serve under corrupt politicians, who could force them to join the IFS?

RIT

Can the disclosure of advice given by CVC impede the process of investigation?

Information regarding the vigilance advice given by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) in the matter of the appellant was denied by the Public Information Officer (PIO) citing the exemption provisions contained in section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act stating that the disclosure of the information would impede the process of investigation. The Central Information Commission (CIC) observed that it is not clear how the disclosure of the advice given by the CVC in this case including the relevant file noting would impede the process of the disciplinary proceeding/ prosecution of the official concerned. The advice tendered by the CVC is an input based on which the competent authority decides about the nature of the disciplinary action to be taken in any particular case. The Commission further held that the affected person should have a natural right to know about the advice and the manner it is tendered. The CIC directed the PIO to provide the advice tendered by the CVC in this case including the file noting leading to the advice.

Comments

The manner in which the vigilance enquiries are being conducted require a drastic change in the post RTI era. New mechanism and procedure need to be devised to effectively conduct the investigations in a transparent manner.
