IAS as CVO in CBDT - a welcome step
The officers who have been harassed by the present vigilance set up
will take a sigh of relief. At last some objectivity in dealing with
vigilance matter may percolate into the system.
The Govt may appoint IRS from CBDT as CVO of other services to exploit
the expertise in the domain. This will definitely help in overall Governance.
A Regular Visitor
Rate of commission in a leading Public construction Agency-
It is being told that any PSU can assign work to this famous agency.
The agency in turn assigns the work to a private contractor. The contractor
has to pass 6 to 10% commission to the agency. The agency in turn passes
3 to 5% commission to the PSU or the ministry which assigns the work
to it.
The PM should look into this practice as it amounts to substandard work
and massive corruption running into hundreds of crores.

Stagnation - a serious problem
Stagnation is a serious problem that affects MORALE - it affects self
esteem, it affects performance, it affects health even - and yet, bosses
after bosses will come and go, and yet the poor Railway PRO will continue
to serve and crib. Those who join with him will rise to become his boss
in some years - and yet, he is supposed to be happy. Indian Railway
PROs quest for dignity in the form of promotion has met with no success
in the past, and it is amazing that such a glaring injustice is treated
as if it does not exist. After being in the same scale for decades,
some PROs in IR have given VRS and quit honourably. Some others continue
to stay on in the hope that there will be some light at the end of the
tunnel. But the damage, is already done. The Image of Indian Railways,
is in the hands of these stagnated PROs - and unless and until they
themselves are uplifted, can they uplift the image of the organisation?
this is a simple question that has been overlooked for many years. The
NaMo govt has found solutions to so many problems - will it also find
a solution to end the pathetic plight of Indian Railway PROs so that
they find dignity in their work?

Plight of CSSS Officers
I agree with the article written by Shri V. P. Sharma Ji on the plight
of Stenographers Grade 'D' of CSSS, who were appointed well before 1990.
Even Stenographers of 1985 batch are still working as Personal Assistants
after rendering 29 years of their valuable service to the Govt. of India.
Is is not humiliation to these officials? I would like to make a sincere
appeal to Hon'ble Minister of DOP&T to please look into this aspect
and redress their problem once and for all.

DATE WITH RTI

Personal information of a government employee
The appellant asked for the service details of a teacher regarding
her date of joining the service, her present residential address
and her salary certificates, etc. During hearing before the CIC,
the teacher submitted that the information seeker is her husband
who is harassing her. She raised objection to the disclosure of
information to the appellant, saying that it is her personal information.
The CIC held that information about salary and official address
of public servant is public in nature and shall be disclosed to
any person including spouse. Salary details including deductions
contained in Salary slip or certificate and residential address
of the public servants is personal information, and also third
party information. Only after proof of larger public interest
such information also can be given. Filing of 50 RTI applications
reflects the personal animosity but not public interest.
Comments
Cases where spouses are seeking information about each other are
now increasingly coming to notice. They may be involved in marital
disputes and cases both civil and criminal, may be filed mutually
against each other. They can also seek information to help them
to prove or disprove the charges. However, it must be born in
mind that information unconnected with the discharge of public
duties should not be provided unless the disclosure establishes
a larger public interest.
