Govt unlikely to attain revenue target this year

The government has fixed Rs 17.93 lakh crores as revenue collection target for this fiscal year. If sources are to be believed this is unlikely to be attained. Reason is said to be lack of manpower. After more than two years of cadre restructuring approval, most of the posts of DCs and ACs are lying vacant, which is 97% of the total work force. Due to this reason I-T dept failed to achieve fixed target for the last three years.

We have beautiful hills, pristine beaches, rich wildlife, glamorous city life of Mumbai, rustic landscape of Vidarbha, cultural heritage of Ajanta-Ellora, maximum number of forts, ancient and modern structures, history and a lot. We have aggressive publicity plans to promote tourism across global.

Revenue Secy issue

It is easy to argue over an IRS officer as Revenue Secretary or officer from any other service. Earlier we have full-fledged NSA from IFS but not from IPS! Why not try to have an IRS officer as Revenue Secretary, IPS officer as Home Secretary and Officer from Armed Forces as Defence Secretary, Scientist for Secretary (Science and Technology), ITS Officer as Secretary (Communication and IT), Doctor as Health Secretary, then hopefully there will be a sea change in our executive set-up. We should ponder on this matter.

Non-IAS as PS to Bengal CM

Arguments of IAS lobby against appointing a non-IAS (a CSS officer) as Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister of West Bengal -
"IAS officers are specifically trained over their career-span to deal with jobs requiring specific background, experience and understanding,''
"Posting of officers from indifferent backgrounds is not only contrary to the statutory rules, but also reduces efficiency in administration,"
Then why is an IAS officer with indifferent background posted as Revenue Secretary, I&B Secretary, Home Secretary, C&AG, Secretary-Environment & Forests, Commerce Secretary, Economic Affairs Secretary, SEBI Chairman, Director of Enforcement Directorate, MD of Power Generation and Transmission Corporations, Health Secretary, Sports Secretary, Education Secretary when we have officers from IRS, IIS, IPS, IA&AS, IFoS, ITS, IES and Engineers, Doctors, Finance Specialists/Economists, Educationists, Sports Managers, etc. who are specially trained over their career-span to deal with these jobs requiring specific background, experience and understanding.

I am sure one can now understand why Indian bureaucracy is ranked as the worst in Asia with a horrible score of 9.21 out of 10 (10 being the worst possible score). Even Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines and China are rated ahead of us. For the country to develop the Prime Minister needs to overcome the well entrenched and powerful lobbies like those of the IAS lobby and other mafias in India. These lobbies/mafias only work at variance with India's interests as a whole.
"It is not just an ego issue. We are talking about rule books,'' said an IAS officer, who is one of the office bearers of the IAS Association. Sometimes rules are cited to scuttle any positive action. Ironically these rules are framed by the same lobbies/mafias themselves.

Satya Prasanth

Corruption has become order of the day

Corruption, false claims, misuse of vehicles by officer is order of the day. The PAO and AG who are supposed to be the watchdogs of the Government safeguarding the interests of the public exchequer are merely working with closed eyes. There is a subordinate office under Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, which is a classic example for misuse. The original bills are sent to PAO, but nobody checks it. This is the disturbing scenario. Head of Office of these Regional Offices have become crorepatis.

Sivakumar

Compulsory retirement

I fully agree with Sandhu regarding compulsory retirement of officers and victimisation of honest officers. We all know that so many people are reluctant to work and shirk their responsibilities but their Confidential Reports are not being evaluated properly and they escape without punishment even though they deserved to be removed from service. There should be a mechanism which has to be put in place by DoP&T and honest officers and staff should be rewarded. A day has to come for those who work sincerely even foregoing their promotions. Let us wait for a new dawn under the ever-working sincere Prime Minister
