Another surgery of corruption
It is in circulation that the government was seriously thinking of bringing
in legislation to amend Prevention of corruption Act to make bribe-giver
also guilty of corruption and thus liable to be proceeded against under
this Act..The governments in the states and Centre have been off and
on taking some steps to tell public that they were not sleeping over
the malady of corruption and doing almost nothing beyond that.The Institutions
of Chief Vigilance Commissioner,Lokpal,Lokayukat,Ombudsmen in various
organisations,CBI,vigilance and anti corruption police,have been functioning
for long ,but the spectre of corruption ,often dubbed as universal problem,haunts
,at least,90%of Indian population.In Bihar,the anti-corruption law was
forcefully implemented and the properties acquired with ill-gotten money
were confiscated by the government,but in spite of that the disease
continued to weaken the morale of the society.In 1997,in Punjab ,law
was passed that whosoever would inform about the corruption by any government
functionary, would be given reward of rupees 25000.The scheme worked
successfully for about three months and thereafter on the insistence
of the politicians ,the government relented and lukewarm implementation
killed the potent initiative. The proposed amendment of the anti-corruption
law to hold the private person guilty if he gives the bribe, has the
potential to murder all the anti-corruption measures taken by the government
so far.Nobody would then come forward to inform the government about
the demand of the bribe by the government functionaries because of the
fear of law.This will amount to giving protection to the corrupt functionaries
as they will never inform the authorities that they had received any
bribe. Only the harassed citizen can reveal the corrupt demand by a
functionary.The government ,very often tries to bring legislation just
to hoodwink the gullible public and to buy time.It seldom thinks of
effectively implementing the existing law by strengthening its machinery
and improving its monitoring and securing convictions.It is better if
such decorative but futile rather retrograde steps are avoided.

Skip at least one Olympics
We need to skip at least one Olympics and prepare in earnest for the
subsequent games in right earnest by identifying talent at the primary
school level and nurture such tale. This will definitely provide results.
China is a very good example.

British period of slavery!
This is for those who thinik that the civil service as it exists today,
is a reflection of british period of slavery! Then how will it help
by having other services being made secretary! We should then do away
with the system of examination altogether, and let political leaders
choose anybody from the market , they want! That would be fully democratic!
Or like the academia today , where in the name of autonomy, a Director,
and HOD of a department can pick anyone and make him a professor, subject
to his/her having minimum qualification! Would that suit all our friends!

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.
