sets of facts, assumptions, presumptions, etc. leading to widely varying
inferences, which lacked unanimity and reliability, as said by the FM.

Bifurcate Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change also
PM should also bifurcate Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate
Change in to MoEF&CC in to Ministry of Environment and Climate Change
and Forest and Wildlife for better management of the forest, wildlife,
environment and to address the global issues - Chairman FOSA
Sudhir Kumar
It will help accommodate more Ministers etc.
This is such a vast Ministry that it can easily be trifurcated into
Ministry of Environment; Ministry of Forests and Ministry of Wild Life.
This will help accommodate three Ministers and three Secretaries too.

ITS officers are underutilized
These ITS officers are underutilized in DoT and BSNL so these officers
may be deputed to other ministries where Telecom/IT related work is
there. State Govt may also utilize them for their Smart city projects.

Retain Railways as it is
The Indian Railways is running well enough, or at least as well as the
rest of the Government of India. The only reason why the IAS is willing
to wind it up is because it is not run by the IAS. That is why they
keep suggesting that it should be transformed into an Undertaking, privatised
and what not. The reason why the IAS wants to prune it is because they
do not want anything over which they do not hold sway. A similar question
can be asked: Why should the Cabinet Secretary not be laterally inducted
from the private sector ? Because he or she would have no idea how the
Government functions. Similarly the Railways should be retained as it
is.

Who is the Nodal Agency to implement educational concession
for SC/ST students?
Appellant submitted a copy of UGC circular dated 19.08.2009 vide
which all the universities receiving grant-in-aid were asked to
provide reservations to SC/ST students & sought information
about its implementation The CIC observed that the UGC is passing
the buck to Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) and MHRD
was saying that information is not available. The CIC directed
the UGC wing of MHRD and UGC to collect the information from the
universities / deemed universities about implementation of extended
reservation and concession to SC/ST students in Self financing
courses offered by the respective institutions & provide it.
A show cause notice was issued to the PIO of HRD to show-cause
why maximum penalty should not be imposed for non-furnishing of
complete and correct information to the appellant.
Comments
It is sometimes seen that some organisations issue circulars without
providing for a means for its monitoring its implementation. It
makes little sense for an organisation to issue a circular if
its implementation cannot be monitored.
