Modi trying hard to ease stranglehold of IAS

Modi has been trying hard, but not able to ease the stranglehold of IAS on the system and in the matters of selection of top posts, including those of regulatory bodies. Merit does not get counted when even one of the candidates is IAS.

Promotional avenues of CSSS officers in Central Secretariat Service

The case of CSSS officers, particularly Stenographers Grade appointed before 1990 and promoted as Stenographers Grade 'C' on ad-hoc basis and had rendered more than 10 years continued uninterrupted service have either been regularised in batch wise begun from 2006 or are bound to continue to serve having no other option left with them for regular promotion deserve to be considered sympathetically. Most painful for the officers who devoted their one third service span and sacrifice their career for want of regular promotion and are at the verge of retirement. It is high time for the DP&T responsible for keeping the regular promotions pending for long time may be instructed to look into their case afresh on humanitarian ground and regularise their ad-hoc tenure from the day one they are promoted on ad-hoc basis. If the provision for ad-hoc promotion does not exist in the current Recruitment Rules, the proposal for amendment in the RRs may be mooted/approved by the Competent Authority. If such an approach is adopted for the retiring/retired officials, the officials will retire from the service with some pride.

CGHS beneficiaries of pensioners category expects relief

Welcome New Hon'ble Minister for H&FW. We CGHS beneficiaries of pensioners category expects some relief in direct consultation and treatment in empanelled hospitals and diagnostic centers. Earlier Minister made Sr. Citizens of general public for consultation in CGHS wellness centres. Similarly Sr. Citizens, CGHS beneficiaries can avail direct consultation in empanelled hospitals. This is fair and equal treatment to be given to pensioners. If the scheme is extended to all pensioners, it is best if not at least to start with those who crossed 65 years of age due to their ill health and age related problems. This does not require any rocket science it is as simple as availing the treatment in empanelled hospitals only without any reference from wellness centres but medicines will continued to be issued by dispensaries. Let us do good for our old Sr. citizens.
