Non inclusion of Doctors of IRMS, CGHS. IOFMS etc in empanelment
It is unfortunate that Doctors belonging to Central Govt services recruited directly by UPSC into Group A services on the basis of the results of Combined Medical Services Examination conducted every year are not being considered for Joint Secretary level posts in various ministries even though many of them are fully competent for these posts. Officers of Indian Railway Medical Service, CGHS etc are some of the best brains in the Country and their services could be utilised in key portfolios of various Govt Institutions.

Open letter to Nitish Kumargaru, CM Bihar.

Respected Nitish Kumargaru,
Kindly accept felicitations on being re-elected CM of Bihar. The work done by you in Bihar for its all round development in the last ten years speaks for itself.
Recent news of law and order problems in Bihar is quite surprising and is contrary to all you have apparently stood for in your public life. I particularly recall news reports about fast track courts to decide criminal cases set up during your first tenure and feel that you are the only person who could have set things right then, as now. As you would agree, no development can take place in any state or country where the rule of law is given the short shrift.
You have always been a visionary for your state. As a concerned citizen of India, may I request you to stem the tide before it is irreversible and undoes all the good work that you have done in ten years of being Chief Minister of your state and also puts paid to your possible future candidature as Prime Minister of India.
Wish you a happy Pongal and Makar Sankranti.
Sincerely,
J P Prakasa Rao
