DEBATE (1)
NDA govt better
Bureaucracy has got new impetus under the new political dispensation.
This Government is pro-active. With new ideas, new thinking and enthusiasm,
NDA Government is better than the UPA Government.
A K Kar, DGP (Retd)
GMs in Railways
The General Managers in the Ministry of Railways are in a grade in between
Additional Secretary and Secretary. Most of them are having employee
strength more than two lakh under them. It is only one Ministry in the
country i.e. Ministry of Railways wherein, because of technical reasons,
there is any reporting to any IAS officer. The Chairman, Railway Board
like Cabinet Secretary is ex-Officio Principal Secretary to the Government
of India. It is a pity that the Ministry of Personnel does not treat
them as Civil Servants. The Northern Railway Headquarters is at Baroda
House. There are twenty officers in the Additional Secretary Scale and
one General Manager. They were not invited for the Civil Services Day
celebrations on 21st April, 2015. The celebrations have almost become
IAS centric. Earlier there was an award scheme for the staff and citizens
who come out with a good suggestion on governance. This no longer exists.

Steno cadre a liability
I agree with SS Sharma. Stenographers Cadre has always been a liability
than an asset. Given the present technology the cadre needs amalgamation.

Consider rly docs for GM posts
Officers of all organized services of Indian Railways except IRMS become

for these posts.

Parashar's popularity
Assam's IPS officer, Mrs Parashar enjoying huge popularity on social

such acts of a brave officer.

Recommendations
Government had appointed a High Level Committee called 2nd Administrative
Reforms Commission (2nd ARC). The 2nd ARC made 1554 recommendations
on various important issues having a bearing on the entire population
of the country and not for some one crore Central Government servants.
Out of the 1554 recommendations of 2nd ARC only 1183 was accepted by
the Government. The 1183 recommendations were forwarded to concerned
Ministries/Departments of the Government of India State/UT Governments.
Not all recommendations have been implemented. In a Federal set up States
are free to take decisions on State subjects. At the Central level most
of the executive action has taken place. Those involving passing of
Act have still to receive the light of the day. A reform today may turn
out to be outdated tomorrow - continuous process. Further, the Government
also changes. The 10th Report of 2nd ARC is on the subject of personal
administration, where the CSSS cadre finds no mention. Cabinet had directed
the COS to look into the system of PSO. The COS did not agree, why criticize
DoPT.

DATE WITH RTI
|
 |
|
The Appellant had a marital dispute with his wife, who worked
in the bank as an officer. He had been filing a number of RTI
applications, repeatedly seeking information on various issues
related to the said bank officer. The Appellant sought the copies
of educational certificates of the bank officer claiming that
the qualification of his wife has been mentioned as B.Sc, while
she did not study science beyond class 10. The PIO denied the
same under section 8 (1) (j) of the RTI Act claiming that it was
personal information. The CIC referred to the observation of the
Apex Court in the Central Board of Secondary Education & Anr.
Vs. Aditya Bandopadhyay & Ors."
if on the
request of the employer or official superior or the head of a
department, an employee furnishes his personal details and information,
to be retained in confidence, the employer, the official superior
or departmental head is expected to hold such personal information
in confidence as a fiduciary, to be made use of or disclosed only
if the employee's conduct or acts are found to be prejudicial
to the employer."The CIC upheld the rejection of request
for information.
Comments
Many government officials face applications seeking their details
of loans taken, marital status, PAN number, income tax details,
copies of form 16, details of movable and immovable assets and
details of gifts etc. Such harassment of honest officials is not
the objective of the RTI Act.
