I recall recommendations of 5th CPC wherein it was strongly proposed to reduce levels of officials writing on Noting sheets to 3.There were many other path breaking recommendations by 5th CPC. These were not accepted by the Govt. Somewhat similar exercise was carried out by the then CM Shri Chander Babu Naidu of Andhra Pradesh around the year 2000 and it had improved speed as well as quality of decisions. <br /><br />The concept of many levels of Commissioned Officers or Gp C to Gp A in Civil services making remarks on the files in higher HQs or Ministries has insulated the top brass from the pain of the citizens or the affected group of persons about whom decisions are taken. If someone puts up the recommendations of 5th CPC to The present Govt for a review, may be we become a progressive Nation by reducing cost of governing the country (and of the Govt employees itself). Then taxpayer will also respect the efficient governance and willingly pay for the cause of Nation building and not for salary and perks of GROUP of INEFFICIENT (GoI) calling themselves as GOVERNMENT of INDIA (GoI).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500453199573664910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-23448631617004584752016-06-27T16:12:49.682+05:302016-06-27T16:12:49.682+05:30While this is true for notings in the Ministry, wi...While this is true for notings in the Ministry, within army too an equally dangerous trend exists. No approving authority is willing to overrule/disagree to a recommendation made by his junior. So the junior is told to ammend the proposal/recommendation to match the desires of approving authority. The noting keeps going back till it reaches the initiator. He then re-writes what is desired while all superioirs in the hirarchy agree to his proposal duly recommending it. Most often the initiator is in totally disagrement to what he is signing.Synapsenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-75173260120045705762016-06-21T20:31:11.115+05:302016-06-21T20:31:11.115+05:30The Office Memorandum issued on 7th of June by the...The Office Memorandum issued on 7th of June by the Department of Personnel & Training on the subject of litigation reflects the egoistic attitude of the bureaucracy. As far as the political setup is concerned, they are impotent to outdo these adamant reactions to any opposition to their whimsical policy makings.Manoharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04398056746166406979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-89033062812001305622016-06-21T10:48:35.467+05:302016-06-21T10:48:35.467+05:30Major Navdeep Singh, Advocate Punjab & Har Hig...Major Navdeep Singh, Advocate Punjab & Har High Court has written his thought in a very well manner/language that can be understood by everyone. His thoughts/idea really touched to our heart because he has written fact and real picture. Every politician answerable to public themselves and not babudom sitting in the closed room. Hence I respect the views of Major Navdeep Singh.<br />thanks<br />Nahar Singh<br /><br />All India Ex-Services Welfare Associationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15021535899776729469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-22869491987332543752016-06-20T23:59:43.161+05:302016-06-20T23:59:43.161+05:30What has been stated by you is the fundamentals an...What has been stated by you is the fundamentals and basic thesis of the democracy. In country where minds have been feudal since time immemorial and there is a great chasm between the giver and the receiver, this aana-data attitude suits them well.<br />Our society is not talent driven power driven.<br />After the independence the quality of the polity soon started adulterating like present day milk where you pray that gutter water is not delivered and in this transient mode bureaucracy saw its role in power positioning & taste of blood.<br />Soon the polity started getting populated more and more by the goons, uneducated and the unethical practitioners ,so much so that even the so cosy and job secured bureaucrats were brow beaten in line to accept their hierarchy.<br />Hierarchy of what... not the public service but self service and nepotism and bureaucrats were more than happy to become the arms of extension and safe executers for the politicians.<br />System is now so skewed that best of the talent cannot become the RBI Governor or FTII or Finance Commission head and many similar posts.<br />IAS has ensured it will become the chairman of Dairy Board , Port chairman to Housing board and you name it .. the post are reserved.<br />Politicians are happy doing same with the positions of Governors to the heads of all Institutions.<br /> In navy we call – only shit floats and bigger it is .. more aggressively it sticks together. For army you can find some better example.<br /><br />Navdeep-ji who is interested in fair play and in this the most abused word is “Nationalism”.<br />Infact I have been told it serves bureaucracy and politicians alike if the judiciary does not function and then who suffers. One way is to choke it even more than what it is now and one day judiciary will accept the NJAC or the political cum bureaucracy supremacy.<br />To hell with the justice and its disposal ... <br />Sahana Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058081551014375580noreply@blogger.com
