and CMDs etc.

POLITICS
AAP to get less than 10 seats ?
Political observers believe that AAP will get less than ten seats in
the ensuing Lok Sabha polls and that too in Delhi, Haryana and Punjab.
Had Kejariwal been Manmohan Singh ?
"Had Kejariwal been Manmohan Singh, he would have become King"
this advice came from a veteran bureaucrat at a tea party.
World economy remains 2.9% and 3.5% respectively
World economic growth for 2013 and 2014 remains at 2.9% and 3.5%, respectively.
The 2014 forecast for the OECD is unchanged at 2.0%, compared to 1.3%
in 2013. In contrast, China's growth for 2014 has been revised down
slightly to 7.6%, just below estimated 2013 growth of 7.7%. India's
forecast remains at 5.6% for 2014 and 4.7% for 2013. The ongoing trend
of accelerating economic growth in the OECD amid a slowdown in emerging
economies has been confirmed by the latest data.
BUREAUCRACY
Who will be the next Cabinet Secretary ?
In our bid to keep our surfers/readers/visitors abreast with what is
happening in the world of bureaucracy, we now start search for the next
Cabinet Secretary who in any case will be decided by June 13 this year
as the incumbent Ajit Kumar Seth is due to retire on that date.
Seth, 1974 batch IAS officer of Uttar Pradesh cadre, had joined as
cabinet secretary on June 14, 2011, for a fixed two- year tenure. The
government, however, keeping continuity of the country's topmost bureaucratic
post till the next general election in mind, extended his term by one-year
and the 30th cabinet secretary of India is now in the seat till June
13, 2014.
While the government level decision will come under the new regime
that would be assuming power after the impending general elections,
guessing game in this regards has already started with everybody agreeing
that the next man on the top post would be from among 1976 batch of
IAS to 1980 batch.
We are, however, starting a series to have an insight on who would
be the lucky officers who would reach the top post in next couple of
years.
Let's have a look around the same.

Election Commission
Election Commission is not able to show its strictness about the model
code of conduct. still parties are busy using foul languages against
each other. even some 20-30 people assemble and trespass the private
properties in the name of demonstrations which is not good for democracy.FIRs
have been lodged but without any action. Let the election be held in
calm and quiet, peaceful and civilized manner to show the respect to
democracy. EC told for the incident happened to be in Delhi that strict
action will be taken but when? Whatever power is with EC, use them without
fear like Mr. TN Seshan, ex. CEC. EC is constitutional body. Govt. is
not immediate boss. The organization may work for Govt. or for country.
It is better to work for the country which will be remembered by the
coming generation.

WIC observing abstinence?
India is witness to climate change ever since the ECI announced the
general election. While every channel is afflicted by the language pollution,
the WIC surprisingly has been observing total abstinence! But not much
is going to be news worthy on the transfer/postings side and vigilance
is just out of question. So what is the WIC in for?

DATE WITH RTI

Is information about dependency of a government employee personal?
The appellant wanted to know whether a particular government employee
has shown her parents to be dependent on her and what benefits
she has availed for her parents. He further asked whether the
government employee was on leave on a particular date and if so,
whether she was on out station leave and the station to which
she had gone. The information was denied as being personal information
which is exempt from disclosure under section 8(1)(j) of the RTI
Act. The Central Information Commission (CIC) held that information
about dependency is not personal. The CIC observed that leave
information cannot be termed as personal information and directed
to provide the same. Further, the CIC held that whether she was
on out station leave on the date and the name of the station is
personal information and need not be disclosed.
Comments
On the basis of information about dependency, an employee claims
certain benefits like LTC, and medical benefits. Therefore, information
about dependency which has been made by a government employee
to obtain benefits is not a personal information. Whether a government
employee is on leave is not personal information, but the name
of the station where the employee went on a holiday is personal.
