Service on aptitude rather than promotions
This has reference to opinions on why should one service dominate the
rest on the basis of one exam. I agree. My reasons are: There are inductions
in all services from class 2 also against state services promotion quota.
They also get the same pay scales despite induction from PSC without
qualifying UPSC. They are definitely worse than all the group A services
of UOI. A large number of inductions are through reservations and they
are lower down in rank to most candidates qualifying the UPSC. Therefore
this bogey of merit is too far-fetched. Gov of India will gain tremendously
if the inductions in different services are on a level playing field
with same and similar career progression for all Group A services .If
this is done candidates will chose their service on aptitude rather
than likely promotions and the country will gain as also govt.

Why Cabinet Secretary from IAS only?
Why should the Cabinet Secretary be an IAS officer only? Any officer
from other central services or even from private sector can perform
the functions of cabinet secretary .Similar is the position regarding
Secretary Personnel and Establishment officer who play the key role
in all senior appointments in Government of India including Banks and
PSU .Time has come to change this monopoly of IAS.

Timely statements of Modi
Modi's exhortation against bogus cow vigilantes is timely. But many
construe it as a message to his own party men. Actually the fact is
that every cow bhaktha s not a BJP man or every BJP man is not a cow
bhaktha.

Needed military rule in sports
India needs to invest more in sports and other important programmes
for registering a strong presence. The so called "marginalization"
of officers in non-ATM posts, like sports, reveals our mindset. Between
the Finance Secretary and the Sports Secretary which one is preferred?
Obviously Finance tops the preference list. It has left too much space
vacant for the most undeserving, politicians and officials and businessmen,
to occupy that space. It is the sports oligarchy. The result is our
very poor performance in sports. This needs to be drastically changed.
It is time to nationalize sports. We need to take action on a war footing.
Sports deserve military rule in nature and essence. There can be no
compromises. Competition alone decides selections. All that goes as
reputed military rigorous selection, tough training, strict discipline
and precision must go into the management of our sports. If we can deal
with the sports arena in the style of the military rule for a decade
to start with, we can be sure of at least 10 Golds in the Olympics in
2024.

Action for not writing the APAR
The appellant sought information about the writing of APAR and
specifically sought to know about the applicable Rule for deterrent/punitive
action on the Reporting and Counter signing officer(s) if they
do not fill the APAR of officers working under them in time and
keep the APAR's pending for several years despite reminders from
the Headquarters. The CIC observed that it is the internal matter
of the organization to review and reform the personnel policy
for the welfare of the employees in a most efficient and transparent
manner. The dissatisfaction in the work force adversely impacts
the morale of the employees and consequent inefficiencies. The
CIC advice the Air India to review its grievance redressal mechanism
in personnel matters to ensure the transparency in accordance
with the spirit of the Act. The public authority was also directed
to provide the necessary information as sought by the appellant
within a period of 15 days.
Comments
The APAR is a record of the assessment of the work done by an
individual. When specific time limits have been prescribed for
the reporting and reviewing, there appears little reason for not
following the prescribed time limit. All officers must adhere
to the time schedule prescribed for the writing / review of the
APAR.
