Checking Non-Political Lobbying

A set of Economists do constitutes one of the favoured lots in the Government of India. While some of them have made significant contributions, the others have miserably failed. However, they lobby better than the IAS lobby. The prayer for reviewing the performance of the present CSI is already delayed. Today, the statistical system under his leadership is stagnating with little initiatives on any front. Mediocre and corrupt Officials have been favoured over intelligent and honest one. It was only because of Sh. Ashis Kumar, the Ex-DG, CSO that the system could successfully migrate to the New GDP System. A Modi, however strong, may not be able to check such manipulations.

An indication of her capabilities

The sorry state of affairs with her at the helm is an indication of her capabilities. People who consider her for an extension surely will not be banking with SBI.

Why can't the govt search successors in advance ?

What is the Govt doing instead of locating a successor for the post of Chairman, SBI ? Are they in deep slumber ? When you know that the post of Chairman/Chairperson of SBI/SEBI/LIC/Nationalised Banks and other PSUs are going to be vacant in the next six months, why can't the Govt start its drill well in advance to find a prospective successor instead of giving extension. This has a demoralising effect on the part of honest and able officers. Nobody is indispensable. Modi Government is also selective in giving extensions to chosen few. Those who do not toe the Govt's policies are given a marching order and those who succumb to the pressures of the mandarins of North Block are given extensions. There is no defined rule or standard practice regarding extensions. What a pity. The Government which was criticising the NDA Govt the other day for giving extensions to favourites is just doing the same mistake. One cannot expect efficiency if the honest officers are not rewarded and the dishonest are given post retirement jobs.
