DoPT pushing down Allied Services officers

In keeping with its principle of pushing down Allied Services officers and pushing up IAS officers, the DoPT is now empanelling 1996 batch IAS officers for Joint Secretary level posts even as proposal of 1991 batch of IDAS is pending in DOPT for more than one year now even though vigilance clearance was accorded by CVC in October 2013. DOPT continues its policy of "of the IAS, by the IAS & for the IAS". Is anybody listening ? Probably not because it's a Deaf system.

Govt playing havoc with Civil Service Exam

Government is playing havoc with the Civil Services Examination through which the recruitment to three All India Services and other elite Group A Services is done by buckling to every protest by the so called 'aspirants' to these services. What ,by the way the aspirant means. Anybody can become an IAS aspirant. Does aspiring to be in the civil service gives them the clout to even stall or postpone this most important examination. Just before the elections they protested about increasing the number of chances for the exam. They met Rahul Gandhi who promised to fulfill their demand. In no time the orders were issued by the DoPT giving two more chances from the earlier four for General Category and unlimited for others without application of mind.(What was the locus standi of Rahul Gandhi by the way whose promise DoPT was quick to follow without discussing the merit). Competing for an exam again and again year after year is so wasteful and when one succeeds one is almost past one's middle age. Syllabus has also been fiddled with again keeping regional aspirations in view. What has Malayalam or Tamil literature to do with civil services. This fiddling with the time table, syllabus, number of chances, age limit etc. have brought down the standards so much. Similarly why doctors and engineers must get into Civil Services. First they make someone lose a seat in the entrance exam to Medical or Engineering stream and then after qualifying for these professions deprive someone of the chance to get in civil services as they definitely have an advantage in the subjects of their qualification. It is sad we have ,over the years, brought down the quality of this most important Exam. The latest dictat from MOS PMO to postpone the Preliminary exam as scheduled on 24th August because of protestors' demand over the whole exercise is another nail in the coffin of this highly competitive exam.

Facilitate 'achhe and swasth din'

NDA government if immediately not want to dismantle / disband CGHS organization lock stock and barrel before fully getting satisfied that the organization has lived its useful life and now living after its expiry date, it should atleast facilitate bringing 'achhe and swasth din ' for atleast the most prominent victims of CGHS poor pensioners. In this regard I fully agree, the Health Minister should order a pilot scheme for all pensioners and if he has even slightest doubt of pilot scheme also being misused, in that case exercising abundant caution should start the pilot scheme for pensioners and their spouses who any of the couple either husband or wife pensioner has crossed the age of ' 65 '. They should be allowed to go to any hospital of their choice for each and every ailment big or small OPD/ Indoor surgeries / Diagnostic tests dental eye ear whatever on cash less basis or even reimbursement basis. Dear Health Minister these pensioners were in your ( Govt. ) service on an average 35 to 40 yr of their life please Sir trust them that they are honest and will not misuse the facility under pilot scheme you may decide to provide. Look Sir most of the pensioners and more so above the age of 65 yrs live only husband and wife as children in most cases not living with them and living abroad or in other far of locations. Sir only you can make their life easier kyonki pensioners ko health medical jo ki number one requirement hai aur bhee bahut gumm hain zidagi main.
Earnestly wish aap mere jaise pensioners jo 65 se uppar hain unhen khushiyon ke achhe dinoun ki saugaat denge.

Aisee notification ke intezaar main, Main

ML Chauhan aur hazaaron 65 se uppar ke Pensioners
