Promotions be governed by own service conditions

The IAS and IRS are two different services and the promotions therein should be governed by their own service conditions rather than by IAS or some other service

Cadre Review
If Cadre Review Division is wound up then no Cadre Review should take place. What is required that current tendency of the Division to recommend cases of Cadre review involving a structure of 'top heavy' should be avoided. Further, cadre review Division in the DoPT should take up only cases of cadre review involving organized services and not of CISF, BSF, CISF etc.
A Srivastava

Cadre restructuring is birth right of some services
Not only in CISF. There are many organisations where no cadre review has taken place since inception of organisation. Best example is EPFO. Cadre restructuring is birth right of some services only. Restructuring of other services is not allowed by members of these services.

Even a non IAS can perform better
Yes, it is true and it should be implemented. Even a non IAS can perform better like Sreedharan Ex DMRC Chief. PM has also thought about it, so let's try it.

Don't compare apples with oranges
Let me answer the 15 questions posed by one of the browsers. It is because Indians are Indians and Chinese are Chinese. We are a democracy where our politicians have to cater to vote bank politics which is often inimical to faster growth. On the other hand Chinese Government is a centralized autocracy ruled by the Communist party which brooks no dissent. Which one is better ? Let us look at the positive side of our system and not compare apples with oranges. The price we are paying for freedom of dissent as also having the right to choose our Government is worth paying.
