Allow IAS to concentrate on administration

The shortage of IAS officers is not merely to the facts outlined. They have spread out to capture others jobs including CVOs, FAs and what not. Only this week one retired officer has been appointed as head of a technical/intelligence organisation. They are posted in embassies, PSUs which are not their domain. Allow IAS to concentrate on administration rather than holding accounts or vigilance or other functions. There will definitely be sufficient IAS officers.

Anil Kumar

Have an "Aap Ki Awaaz " column

You should have an "Aap Ki Awaaz " running alongside on the site allowing officials tell what they see and know. You can always ask for Service Proof etc and still moderate content..Otherwise your content will just be a hear say.

Is this what Ambedkar dreamed of ?

The beneficiaries of reservations for three generations and more do not want their own downtrodden brethren to avail of the benefit but want to crowd out the downtrodden to keep availing the benefit for generations till the end of history. That is why they do not want the creamy layer in SC reservations. The creamy layer would only give a chance to the downtrodden among the SCs to avail of reservations. The third generation IAS officers can of course compete in the general category to become fourth generation. The son of an SC Minister becomes an IAS officer. His grandfather was an MP and Cabinet Minister at the centre. What chance does the son of a poor uneducated SC labourer have to avail of the great benefit of reservation? He will have to till the fields though educated and fit for availing the benefit. Is this what Ambedkar dreamed of?

Vijay Kumar

Have creamy layer in unreserved categories

There is a need to have creamy layer in unreserved categories too so that rich people do not reap the benefit of free/cheap/subsidized schemes particularly in the field of education.
