Delhi High Court ruled last month that Modi govt’s appraisal system for senior civil servants, which officials call ‘arbitrary’ and ‘opaque’, isn’t illegal.
Contrary to the commonly-held belief that women hardly have a role in the RSS’s activities, there has been an increased emphasis on their growing role over the last two-and-a-half decades.
Trinamool Congress has the highest percentage of MPs who haven’t attended meetings of their department-related standing committees, followed by BJP & Congress.
Opposition BJP alleges that the ruling Congress’ leaders use ‘same terminology’ as Pakistan and separatists, demands that a sedition case be registered.
Srinagar resident Waiz Ul Islam and Pulwama’s Mohammad Abbas were arrested for their involvement in the attack that killed 40 CRPF personnel in February 2019.
The Romans’ version of stoicism is rapidly picking popularity on Instagram — Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca are some names that get thrown at you when you fire up your screen.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Justice was not prevailing in the past, is not prevailing in the present, it will never prevail in the future.
From the time of creation of Creatures, the FITTEST has survived.
FITTEST, means…..a lot. It may be in terms of MUSCLE POWER, INTELLIGENCE POWER, POLITICAL POWER, SELF-PUBLISHING POWER.
So any NEW RULE is no exception to it. Irrespective of any Rule, the UNFIT/MISFIT/INNOCENT one will suffer. Good performance or bad performance is/was never a FACTOR in deciding one’s promotion.
It has worked well in keeping out the corrupt and inefficient officers. Intially it worked well when Dr P K Mishra had absolute freedom in this process. But then some undesirable elements got empanelled obviously due to political interference. The process got tainted a bit due to this. Still 90% ok.
No matter what system you make, there will be subjectivity and corruption. Systems cannot make the society honest, fair, and objective. The rat race will always exist. Example:
In the USA, one CEO advertised for a lady P.A. The personnel deptt. made elaborate arrangements and interviewed hundreds of ladies and sent the final selected name to the CEO. The CEO said, ” To hell with your selection process! I want the lady with long legs.”
After serving in a PSU for over 36 yrs. , I have seen how corrupt officers rise. This is no new phenomenon. It has always been like that. No wonder, even Shakespeare has succintly said, ” Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.”
360degree isn’t good in India at least.Look Muslims nations donot like Modi, like Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, Malaysia. So in 360 if majority are ones from this hate group than will their views on modi be correct which Indians may differ totally on it. So friends it depends? Whose majority is there in the feedback group? This group may even be of one caste, irrespective of region they belong to, which again can be biased?Also what’s nature of majority in feedback group? They may hate modi & can vote against? But others from neutral group who are not extremes may like him? So majority in group matters?
What is right what’s wrong, can’t say? Situational?. If your performance is good but others around are against You, your caste, your nature, your work, then its doom. India unlike foreign having several language, caste system personally this 360 degree philosophy cannot work here because of Lots of differences here.
I fully agree with our that everybody for every act of his / her should be accountable. But the mute question is how an officer is rated ? What is the procedure laid down which is time tested and subjected to principles of natural justice ? No procedure should be arbitrary or manipulative in nature. Example : when you take random question and answers over phone from a person who is absolutely unconnected ,what type of feed can be expected ? This is not done.
It is time to completely shut down the IAS- IPS nautanki the country has endured since independence. They are a blot and drain on the country. Let’s replace them with more accountable local level governance.
In a country like India which has so much diversity, languages, castes, which is good at one end can be disadvantage when comes to 360review. As Indians are biased in one or the other way, some may be jealous to a particular castes, towards nature of person, towards his abilities, and hence depends if it’s not cosmopolitan place, it may definitely lead to issues.Also depends what majority people in 360degree feedback backgrounds Are? Are they of same caste, here even regional difference may not matter and can be biased towards one category of people.
IAS are opaque to public and condescending it i sin fitness the appraisals should be confidential . otherwise open appraisal may result reprisal as often happens in IAS bonehomm .. Good Modi ji witness should be protected
My sympathies with these poor IAS guys. I am reminded of that blot on the phrase “CJI” Ranjan Gogoi who gave a “clean chit” to the brazen loot by Narendra Modi in the shape of the Rafale deal. I don’t care if 30000 crores went to Modi’s own pocket or to his fraud friend Anil Ambani’s – – an equivalent amount of “ego satisfaction” DID GO INTO MODI’S POCKET. This is called “gratification in kind”. This too is corruption. Poor Prashant Bhushan hasn’t been able to come out of the shock until now, because I haven’t seen that very decent human being and very conscientious lawyer so quiet as he is now. Our IAS friends shouldn’t despair. This night will pass. And so will all the knights of this night.
Things are rotten if a chaiwala teaches IAS officers how to administer in a central government.
Justice was not prevailing in the past, is not prevailing in the present, it will never prevail in the future.

It’s politicians who really needs 360 degree review.hope it’s applicable to them also one day.
360degree isn’t good in India at least.Look Muslims nations donot like Modi, like Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, Malaysia.

Really a great initiative by modi government.
Good move .every one should be held accountable and answerable whether they are I AS officer’s or politicians .

Good IAS is the legacy left by British. All they do is to create hurdles .red tape is rampant in department.
