What people say about us!
This site seems to me most unbiased and important portal of information
, even to some extent better than big media houses as it disseminates
news consciously

What will be foreign policy with
USA and China, if Modi comes to power ?
What will be foreign policy of NDA Government led by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi with United States of America (USA), if it comes to power
at Centre? Voices dropping to whispers at international level that BJP's
Prime Minister candidate, who is looked down upon by USA, appears to
be keen in making strong relationship with China emerged as one the
powerful countries in the world. The leadership of Modi, if came to
power, is expected to bring about changes not only in the country but
also at international level.
ETV gets one more Narendra Modi's
interview (UPDATED)
In an ongoing media war, to achieve a Narendra Modi interview, ETV stands
a clear winner. The Channel has got 3 Modi interviews in a row. The
last interview of Modi was also given to ETV Network. On the Rahul Gandhi
front also, ETV happens to be the only Regional and one of the 3 national
Channels, which could get a Rahul interview. It means ETV is equally
placed with both Modi and Rahul and it has further boosted the morale
and branding of the Network in the media circles. In the last Jagdeesh
Chandra ETV interview in Ahmedabad on 9th May, Modi claimed that BJP
alone will form the next Government, in Delhi at its own.

Role of Cabinet Secretary
Apropos the debate on postings of officers abroad, what is the role
of Cabinet Secretary. Does the Government seek his opinion, he being
the senior most IAS officer. Is he a decorative piece or is he busy
trying to get himself an extension or a post abroad after retirement
? Many honest officers have been treated unfairly by Governments and
one does not find the Cabinet Secretary taking cudgels on behalf of
any of them.

Foreign postings - an eye wash
Yes, it's a fact that applications are called for and duly processed
to give illusion that a fair selection is being made but everybody knows
that who is going to get selected for that particular post.
Further to keep away central sectariat service officers from even claiming
a single such position, a line in advertisement is made that only those
who have worked under central staffing scheme for two years at centre
are eligible. This makes all officers of CSS in one stroke in eligible
although they spend their entire service in the centre and there is
no functional difference between officers who are working under central
staffing scheme and those who are not.
The elite class of officers get selected by a committee of officers
belonging to that class only viz CSB where no other service is represented
either by design or default?

DATE WITH RTI

Information pertaining to Yuva and Eco Club, sanitation, water
supply, Republic Day & Independence Day celebration, Mid Day
Meal and Local Tour at GBSSS, were sought through separate Right
to Information (RTI) applications. Ten different appeals filed
by the appellant were taken up together by the Central Information
Commission (CIC). The CIC observed that all the officers of Respondent
Public Authority were very sincere, responsive to questions and
trying to provide each and every information that was being sought
by the Appellant with great care and caution. The appellant's
request for imposition for penalty for alleged delay of 18 days
was rejected by the CIC. The Commission observed that all the
RTI applications and first appeals relating to the issue of one
single school wherefrom he is discontinued as Guest Teacher are
malafide.
Comments
There are instances where an appellant does not have any patience,
disputes everything and puts every officer on toes. Some of such
appellants may be ex-employees and for any office, it is very
difficult to tackle such a person who appears to take vengeance
against the entire department. Such appellants can be handled
by a PIO only with a thorough knowledge of the RTI Act coupled
with sensitive handling.
