India badall raha hai...

First came the news about JNU sedition!
Now comes out info that JNU is morally in a pathetic condition!

As per revelations JNU is Adda of Aish!!
Everyday seems there is a bash (Party)!!!

If it's a Temple of Learning then all this is wrong!
And all this has been going on for long!

The VC needs to say...Party elsewhere!
No Sex on Campus please take care!

Revelations were made by Cleaning guys!
Though some students will say pack of lies.

Why did the Cleaning guys do it???
Unlike many of us twiddling their thumbs they did not sit!

Like us they too must be angry about what's going on!
So they showed how bad morally JNU has gone!

Till now all the refuse was going into the dump!
Wohi Refuse se karr diya sabh ko stump!

A Section of Media named Afzal Gang!
Want Justice to hang!

They side with the pro Afzal lot!
Many would agree a lesson needs to be taught!

In RS Maya did not know what hit her!
For a moment she seemed to be in a blur!

Smrithi took her head on!
Maya's face showed ..Too far Smrithi's gone!

Factually Smrithi replied Bhehnji!
But as we know Bhenji is used to only Hanji!

Maya wants a Dalit on Rohit Inquiry Commission,
To be appointed with her permission.

The frivolity in BSP's protest was so saaf!
That some MPs were have a good laugh!

Rahul says in LS he's not allowed to speak!
Says because hearing him in the knees BJP goes weak!

Fact is Baba ji your own Party doesn't want you to speak!
When you speak negativity for Congress does peak!

Budget's coming.... Budget aaya!
Salaried ke liye khush khabri laaya!

It's going to give infra a big push!
Jaitley's going for bird in hand rather than 2 in bush!

We demand a nuisance tax on what crap we have to bear!
The crap from some Netas we have to hear!

Flash. .. In LS Smrithi had Congress on the run!
This day in both RS and LS Smrithi won!

Modi's message was clear on JNU ...be aggressive!
And Smrithi was aggresive and expressive!

How can IRS be most powerful ?

You are mistaken. How can the IRS be the most powerful in the NDA Government ? They are controlled by the Revenue Secretary, who is an IAS officer. Actually, the Revenue Secretary has become important in the NDA regime. Other Secretaries may be resentful of the new found status of the Revenue Secretary.

A K Singh

No one can even come close to IAS

The most powerful service is the IAS and no one can even come close. Promotions in the IRS have been absolutely stalled for over two years now. They were badly delayed even earlier. 1994 batch of the IRS is yet to be promoted in the cadre. On the other hand, IAS officers of the 2000 batch have achieved the promotions in their cadre. 1997 batch IAS has been posted as Joint Secretary in Government of India, 1989 batch is being considered for IRS, despite Modi's desire to give all services some semblance of their just dues. Where is the comparison? The IRS and the IPS have been totally demoralised for ages. Their only hope is Modi. Kudos to Modi for having tried to correct the severe disabilities and injustices that the IRS and the IPS were inflicted with. In fact, Modi has for the first time, taken outstanding officers from services other than IAS to serve as Joint Secretaries to Government of India, which the IAS had till date, cornered, by hook and by crook, entirely all for themselves, on specious grounds, despite the Central Staffing Scheme being open to more than thirty services.

Why expose ourselves to foreign miscreants ?

Everybody will agree with Madam Aarti Khosla. No one on any count can support Jung rahegi Bharat ki Barbadi tak. talking of Bharat ki Barbadi and getting support from unmindful intellectuals Freedom of India is important. What freedom of speech did we have when under foreign rule. Why are we exposing ourself to foreign miscreants for narrow considerations like Modi popularity.

Personnel recruitment

After dithering on the recruitment of the Punjab government employees on regular basis for more than two decades, a few months back the govt had initiated the process of mammoth recruitment i.e,1.13 lacs, by entrusting the job to Punjab university.The process ,even after holding the written examination in some categories, has been halted with reports of large scale corruption and complaints. In the year 2002 complete ban was imposed on the fresh recruitment and it was also decided that the posts fallen vacant or to be vacant shall be deemed to be abolished and the departments were asked to reassess the staff requirements. After many departments protested about the inadequate staff to run the administration, era of outsourcing of staff and contract appointments was ushered in ending the adhoc appointments. The only appointments allowed, that too largely on the intervention of the courts were of compassion and handicapped quota. Intermittently victims of heinous crimes perpetrated by influential politicians also got government jobs. Some departments, such as police, food and supplies, education and health, regularly persisted with the cabinet and got nod of the cabinet for creation of jobs and recruitment. The unions of contract and outsourced employees approached courts for regularization of their services and also resorted to agitations. The unrest amongst the youth for lack of employment opportunities and the ominous ensuing Assembly poll in Feb 2017 forced the government to fill the vacancies in many organisations.

Earlier, the appointing authorities were duly competent to recruit the staff, but presently the recruitment has been substantially centralized, necessitating the roping in of specialized agencies to complete the process of recruitment. The allegations of corruption, nepotism, favouritism and fraud are not new to the state. Its PPSC, SSSB, have remained mired in shameful activities not very long ago. When the recruitment to man these organisations are not on merit and fair play, how we can expect these to recruit people on merit in government. The regular recruitment of patwaris has not taken place since 1992.In the year 1993,written exam was taken across the state for their recruitment. Nothing happened thereafter. It was rumoured that some candidates ,who were related to a powerful minister, could not sit in that exam, so the entire exercise was put to naught. In the mid 1980s,in a Punjab district, the staff was recruited entirely on the basis of their performance in the basic eligible educational qualification. Not a single complaint was made. But the then deputy commissioner of that district was a completely honest man. To ensure complete fairness in recruitment, entire personnel and recruitment policy needs to be revisited. The system shall remain the same unless and until honest people are put to man the recruitment process.
