New Delhi: With Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government approving the proposal to grant the status of organised cadre services to the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) Wednesday, many of its officers say that the tyrannical dominance of IPS officers will finally come to an end.
Months after the Supreme Court ruled that officers from these forces will be granted Non-Functional Financial Upgradation (NFFU) and other pay benefits, which their counterparts in all ‘Group A’ organised services are entitled to, the Union Cabinet finally gave its nod to the proposal.
The move will give several benefits to the officers of the CAPFs and allow them to lead their officers.
ThePrint spoke to several CAPF officers to find out what the move means to them.
“A decade-old tyranny of the Indian Police Service has ended,” said a CRPF officer, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The Cabinet decision
“The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the proposal for Grant of Organized Group ‘A’ Service (OGAS) to Group ‘A’ Executive Cadre Officers of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and extension of benefit of Non-Functional Financial Upgradation (NFFU) and Non-Functional Selection Grade (NFSG),” a PIB statement said Wednesday.
After the Supreme Court ruling to this effect in February this year, the Cabinet nod was inevitable, but its ramifications for these forces are far-reaching.
Currently, all the CAPFs except for the Assam Rifles are headed by IPS officers, an arrangement that many said was unfair. This is likely to be upended with the recent Cabinet decision.
“We will finally be able to rise up the ranks in our own forces…This will be a huge morale booster for all the CAPFs in the country,” said the CRPF officer quoted in the beginning, speaking on background.
Even the positions of Additional and Special Director Generals (SDGs) are mostly reserved for the IPS, the officer explained.
According to the Department of Personnel and Training rules, in ‘Group A’ organised services, appointments up to the position of SDG can take place only through promotion from the cadre and lateral entry or appointment through deputation is only permissible if the former is not possible, the officer said.
According to many officers, while the IPS officers would come to these forces at the top levels, they had limited experience in handling conflict situations, which forces like the CRPF, BSF etc. routinely encounter.
“Their experience is managing general law and order or investigations…They are not equipped at all to deal with the conflict and insurgency situations we deal with,” said the officer.
“A lot of times when CRPF troops get killed, it is also because their IPS bosses have no idea about how the force works…They are just paradropped on us,” the officer added.

‘A humiliating experience’
Earlier known as the paramilitary forces, the CAPFs include the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), the Border Security Force (BSF), the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Assam Rifles (AR), the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and the National Security Guard (NSG).
While NFFU — which entails that if all the officers of a particular batch have not climbed up the ladder due to lack of vacancies but only one does, the others are automatically entitled to financial upgradation at par with the one who has been promoted — was granted to all ‘Group A’ organised services in 2009, it was denied to officers of the CAPFs by arguing that they are not organised services.
“The government’s argument was flawed from the beginning because there is no definition of an organised service available with the government,” said a senior CRPF officer on condition of anonymity.
“On what basis were they telling the court that we are not organised if they don’t know what organised means?”
In May this year, the government constituted a high-level expert committee to suggest a clear definition of Organised ‘Group A’ Service.
“It was not just about NFFU…They used this ‘not organised’ argument against us to deny us our rightful promotions and career aspirations,” the officer said.
“The truth is that the humiliation that the CAPFs were made to experience at their hands was worse than what Indians faced by Britishers,” the CRPF officer added, referring to the government and Home Minisitry that is manned by IAS and IPS officers.
“They had a vested interest in denying us the status of organised services since IPS officers wanted to keep heading our forces and get plum postings here, and the IAS officers wanted to keep IPS out of the central government by letting them head other agencies and CAPFs,” the officer, who has 31 years of service in CRPF, said. “It was all a very well thought-out strategy.”
According to a BSF officer, there was disparity in terms of the accommodations, hotels, flight tickets, etc. too.
“Even our children would wonder why we are treated like second-class citizens by the government when we are always fighting for the country in the worst kind of situations,” the officer said.
Another CRPF officer said that there are “massive vacancies in IPS across the country”.
“Then why do they not want to do what they are meant to do in their state cadres? Why are they so interested in coming to the CAPFs?” the officer asked. “It’s obviously because they get plum postings here.”

‘Odds were stacked against us’
Several retired CAPF officers said they could not rise up to the top in their careers because it was inevitably an IPS officer who would be chosen to lead them.
“We are selected by the UPSC and are highly trained in our own professions, but the moment we would reach the level of DIG, we would be overlooked for the sake of IPS officers who have no experience in our areas,” recalled Mohinder Malhi, who retired as an Inspector General in the BSF in 2011.
He had joined the service in 1973, but was appointed as the IG only in 2009 and that too just for two years.
“I had experience (of working) in the toughest areas in Assam, Kashmir etc. But at policy level, my contribution was limited because of this absurd arrangement,” Malhi said. “That’s because all the odds were stacked against us.”
“Jawan maarey jaay tho netha log “chowkidhaari” ka bhaashan jhaad kar logon ko gumraah karke votes lekar sarkaar bana lethey Hain..
Or Officers Shahid jawanon ke laashon ko dhikha kar “Non functional benifits ka laab uta lethey Hain” .
Desh ko bewakuf banakar najaane kab thak Yun khela jayega.. truly disaster.. can’t express anymore..
When the person fails to achieve ambition to become civils type of higher position.. then he try to state “angoor khattey Hain”..
All such failure people to be satisfied with lower grade positions are saying Civils officers IAS and IPS officers are not worthy for Administration-Babus and Central Policing Forces.. and looking to occupy benifits of higher quality professional’s standard. And the foolish government is ready to provide them.. that’s badluck of our nation by boosting Military and Paramilitary grade Generals/Officers may finally lead towards irak, pak and such type “General Shashan” in indian future..
Till now it was a peaceful India but it seems further it would be more worst then Pak, Israel, irak, Somalia, ISIS prone territories..
There a folk “Baap ka jageer”..
From onwards no one can ask the irregularities and illegal activities of CAPF forces.. everything behind fences and operations of CAPF forces would be reported as CAPF desires without any interference of Civils authorities..
CAPF is now its officers “Baap ka jageer”.. as they wish they can do .. saying CAPF is their “Baap ka jageer” type of organized services for NFFU gaining Para MILITARY grade officers..
IPS officers job is very simple and defined mainly to maintain law and order of state where they are posted. They should this kind of duty only and remained within the state,why they wants to run away from this simple duty. I know they are most incapable lot and burden on states as well as to central government too. They don’t do any specific kind of skilled job which other organizations needs them. They forcibly enter into various central government organisations and particularly into CAPF because being monopoly of IAS officer they throw them out from other administrative duties at Central government. Their IQ is also very poor and helpless Buddies, They needs comfortable and easy going life. Central government should not allow them to move beyond their limits and strict disciplinary action against all those IPS who moved to court against CAPF.
Due huge deficiency of capable IPS officers in Union of India. The Respondent No.1 recklessly appointing incapable NON-IPS official on the posts of Higher Authorities in Central Armed *POLICE* Forces also. Almost at every level from the Dy.Commandant-(Dy.SP), Second in Command, Commandant, DIGP, IGP and upto zonal DGP-Directorate General of Police “about 99%” Authorities are Non-IPS in CAPF(Central Armed *Police* Forces), and remaining just “1% IPS officers” can’t handle entire responsibilities of such a huge Central Armed Police Force Department in better way. Looking on Non-IPS officers unfair efforts to occupy all higher cadre DGP ranks in Central Armed Police Forces and situations it seems that further the remaining 1% IPS officers place may also be replaced by Non-IPS officers of CAPF. Therefore “officershahi”, “mannmani” “gundagardi, laparvahi, and gair-jimmedhari” by Incapable Non-IPS officers in Central Armed Police Forces, especially in CRPF(Central Reserve Police Force) is growing up and causing worst 36 types of all other worseness which the petitioner mentioned in 36 points sought through RTI on inhumanity matters i.e. Fratricidal, Suicidal, Accidental, Negligent Operational and Medical casualties, Illegal Activities, Injustice and Violations of human rights type complaints are at the peak level in CENTRAL ARMED POLICE FORCES especially in CRPF comparatively by settled State’s Police Forces departments etc operated by capable IPS officers. Now, at present situation of CRPF is gone to much more worst among other forces. In the same route from where ARMY, BSF and other forces convoys passes safely, but there the convoy of CRPF get hits a attack and losses above then 44 lives of innocent soldiers (Pulwama Attack). In LWE area, Where the Chattiagarh and other police force’s Greyhounds, SOG’s and STF’s are also conducting successful Anti-Naxal operations there the CRPF losses 75 innocent Soldiers within a single attack. There are thousands of such examples in which CRPF is getting failed and loosing huge count of men in negligent operations. Even on looking on such worst ground level performance of lower formations headed by NON-IPS officers, even then Union of Indian government Declared CAPF as “Organized Service” and started replacing higher level posts of CAPF headed by Standard IPS officers with incapable Non IPS officers.
Security strategies are going worst day by day. At present Internal security Policing we’re divided into two types of “Organized Services” 1 Non IPS standard CAPF and 2 IPS standard State governing Police Forces. Looking on such foolish security strategies of Government to to provide various types of enjoyments to incapable Non IPS Police authority in Central Government Police Agencies it seems further Defence of Nation may also divided into different organized services and create Problems to Presidency Rules of Nation. Till now there was types of ideal Securities i.e 1) Defence-Army, Navy, Air Force. 2) Internal Security-CAPFs and State Polices. The people of nation availed still now. But recently Policing of nation we’re looking two different type of Police organized services 1) IPS quality State Police organizations and 2) Non-IPS Standard Central Armed Police Forces
Sir abuses and lies can not justify anything… and capability does not comes by repeating the word..capability…ips ppl are good in liking the boots of netas otherwise state police wouldn’t have became synonymous of corruption ,misuse of power and absolute disrespect to their juniors and lower ranks .. every state of India is a unique example of this rotten system of ips controlled law and order .. but fortunately days are gone and a strong government with future vision is in place..in addition to that all the logic given by ips or their pawns are same what angrej used to do about indian… so I am not surprised because language u use exposes your real inner core to the great ppl of this great country.
So plz stop lying and be ready to accept the truth.
All the best for your boot licking government’s stretegies.. keep it up and face by own..
Aren’t u indian?? If yes it’s your government too.
And dear u are still abusing the ppl who have sacrificed most for this country.. capf personnel’s. I fell pity on you that some one getting rightful due is making u disturbed and u abusing those who sacrifice their life for the country.
I can reply u in same language but that will be below the dignity of an indian.
Qulify the indias most campetitive exam civils then explain about the word “capability” u mean for selecting intelligent person to rule administrations, policings on civil people..
You may be unknown about military or paramilitary treatments without having the IPS shield over civilians therefor try to lick the boots of paramilitary grade officers. Any way congrats for your ideology fullfilled.. and we all are now under paramilitary policing services/rules.. happyly enjoy sir.. have some party with your Officers and celebrate for few days untill govt. and public realize the truth behind peacefull policing till we had..
I have strong doubt that even if you deserve my comment..but not replying u will make u feel u are right
First u used word like intelligent ppl are selected to rule… I doubt if u have any idea what a democracy is ! And what is a government employee! In democracy ppl of the country are ruler not some government employee.
If we talk about most competitive exam .. than I doubt your intelligence.. because u are saying that if some body tops in high school he or she must be getting top rank in all the subsequent classes… my dear intelligence is a process not a destination. Ips is primarily selected to restore law and order… now a days they are not able to manage a fair without capf.
Capacity of a ips in case of capf is nil… because of u don’t have any idea ask a army or capf officer… if u have not been a company commander u will never understand the force.
Human right and police is protector… I can not stop laughing… u must be living in fools paradise
For your kind information I would like to remind you that our govt is ready to give “organized services” and “NFFU” benefits to CAPF group A officers to shut up their mouths to raise voice in favor of soldiers being killed/martyred.. still CAPF officers are remained calm on “Martyrdom” status was rejected to “soldiers been killed by Pakistan organization in Pulwama” by our parliament yesterday..
That’s the Indian politics which you can’t and never understand..
..
Now come to the point of benefits to soldiers who sacrificed their lives for Nation..
may boost moral of Non-IPS officers but not useful for people of nation or their soldiers in any mean. Adversely such Decision of Union of India may cause more losses and damages to soldiers and civil people harshly. Lower level formations Commanding by Non-IPS officers in CAPF forces were failures at ground level performance but from now onwards CAPF may cause dissaster entirely. Non-IPS headed CAPF may break all past records of human rights voilations, suicidal-fratricidal-operational-casualities, criminal activities, service relevant injustice and all disaster may form new level of world records. Dicision of Non-IPS officers for central policing agencies may cause huge loss to civil people of nation.
Such Hell directions of Union of India by choosing Non-IPS officers for high command and loosing intelligence civil IPS officers who were been shield of CAPF by replacing with Non-IPS officers is totally unfair for all. Straightly means “maarey jaay Jawan.. or faaydha officers aur nethaon ko”. Hence, Such benifits are not beneficial for “Jawan” in any manner. It would be better if such funds wasting to provide useless benifits to incapable officers may utilized to provide extra benifits to NOK’s of Martyr/killed soldiers to boost moral of Soldiers moral of determination, dedication and sacrifices.
Selection of officers is not on basis of democracy or elections type voting or opinion of majority.. Mr Company Commander..
Hmm.. truly shame to say that’s the level of your intelligence working on issue.. anyway it’s not your mistake.. it’s your greed to get benefits as much as you can..
Leave it..
I don’t have time waste anymore to explain difference between”gadhey and ghodey” bcos some times from long when both gadhey and ghodey being in bunch crowd.. they both looks like same but from now onwards gadhey wud completely separated from their civil shield ghodeys.. since v seen lower level performance of gaddhey.. so let see the higher ups level performance of gaddhey also..
..
If anything is looks like abuses den I m extremely sorry.. good bye.. take care..
No more comment mr om sipahi( though u are no sipahi)… just a smile on your immense intelligence knowledge and intelligence … probably u should appear in exam sorry most competitive exam????
??all the best company commander?
Same to u om sipahi?
Thank you very much ??
according to some people they are more capable of leading others only because they have qualified a ‘paper’.
If the bn level performance is so bad then why don’t our IPS(real leaders) enter as company commanders???
zulfiqar hasan IPS was the IG Operations at the time of pulwama attack and nalin prabhat IPS was having the charge when 75 crpf men killed in Chatisgarh. You know nothing Mr Kumar.
Also let me know who was commander on ground/field operating troops in operation..
Zulfikar Hassan and Nalin prabhats duty was to inform and direct units to take action on naxal who were present in area with a spellbound”puktha intelligence input of terorrist/naxals. The information provided by nalin prabhats IPS was absolutely perfect but troops led by foolish stupid naalayak Non-IPS officers failed to elliminate naxal and adversely been killed..
That’s purely the lapses of ground level operating commander not of directors.. Mr. T.Singh.. Know the facts technically and logically.. then try to resolve..
Sir
IPS offcers must be allowed deputation to capf but not for the post of digp and above. They must be deputed at entry level as Assistant Commandant (Dy.sp) for at least 5 years to command a Company to know the ground level situation in toughest operational area. There should be a clear rule not to allow an ips at higher level who did not commanded a coy as dy.sp in capf for at least 5 year. Holding the post of digp and above on deputation is so easier than commanding a coy in operational area.
Absolutely perfect sir. Central Police Forces must have to be provided with IPS from ground level also.. govt must have to consider deficiency of IPS. CAPF are been truly ignored since a long..
It’s a Central Police agencies and operating by Non IPS at lower formations.. I appreciate your point sir..
Govt. Must have to elliminate effective officers and replaced to be with atmost level intelligent and efficient IPS officers in CAPF cadre directly from Asst. Commandant through Civils..
“Gadhon ke sar par taj”
Congrats to all gadhey officers of CAPF..
Still now CAPF forces were failures at ground level performance but from now onwards CAPF may cause dissaster at entirely..
Break all past records of human rights voilations, suicidal-fratricidal-operational-casualities, criminal activities, service relevant injustice and all disaster may form new level of world records.. congrats a lot to all gadhey Non-IPS officers of central policing agencies.. all the best for hell you choosed by own by loosing intelligence civil IPS officers. Thank you..
Sir abuses and lies can not justify anything… and capability does not comes by repeating the word..capability…ips ppl are good in liking the boots of netas otherwise state police wouldn’t have became synonymous of corruption ,misuse of power and absolute disrespect to their juniors and lower ranks .. every state of India is a unique example of this rotten system of ips controlled law and order .. but fortunately days are gone and a strong government with future vision is in place..in addition to that all the logic given by ips or their pawns are same what angrej used to do about indian… so I am not surprised because language u use exposes your real inner core to the great ppl of this great country.
So plz stop lying and be ready to accept the truth.
Heartily congratulations to all CAPF personnel for for winning a long drawn battle against all odds. Your unity and approach is commendable. Hope it inspires armed forces too for taking appropriate course of action to fight and stop disparity with Babu’s.
Heartiest Congratulations to the force for the well deserved ruling. But one thing to point out is not all Group A officers are entitled for NFFU as written in the article. Armed forces officers are Group A officers and are not entitled for NFFU
Time to do the same in CBI also
Every organisation has its own work style and ethos. From this point of view putting IPS officers on top of people recruited directly to various posts on the cadres of different central police organisations is undesirable. But it is sometimes desirable to bring in an outsider when politics within the organisation give rise to coteries working at cross purposes with the objectives and principles of the organisation. So a deputation reserve allowing IPS officers to come on deputation at various levels but in reduced numbers and only when it is deemed absolutely necessary and in public interest should be retained. I am not an IPS officer but am a retired All India Service officer and speak from experience.
So from same logic sir .. in states deputation quota should be created for non ips non ias central officers so that politics within organisation is checked as states have more political interference as well ??
इन IPS लॉबी का लाइव उदाहरण हूँ ।
कुच्छ हमारे ही भ्रष्ट अधिकारीयो की मिलीभगत से अपनी eggo संतुष्टी के लिये 2011 से मेरा promotion रुकवा रखा है ।

The IPS are the most corrupt cadre. they have spoiled the law and order totally. their image in public eyes is of villain. they must never be allowed deputation in any dept. if they cnt manage the things they r meant for;how can they manage beyond their domain/knowledge. they are spoiling the elite para forces. entry to paramilitary must b stopped for them.
??chal jhoota !!??

IAS , IPS are the most Macaulayised of the administrators of our Country. By giving them the veto over all others , Congress regime was implementing the policy of enslaving Bharateeyas through Constitutional means.
Now , the next step should be Indianisation of our educational curriculam , so that our own children are not deformed into urban naxals , Gandhians , Marxists, Cultural Marxists , Tukde Tukde gang , Christian Inquisitors , Jihadis etc., .
I know , Mr.Print , you can not agree with me , as u R part of Tukde Tukde gang . But I hope , you will reform yourself from ur present deformity . Best of luck .

‘Tyrranical’ is actually the behavior and conduct of CAPF officers towards their subordinates. Sadly the authors write their stories on their desks. And hv no idea of the realities. CAPF officers are already a very privileged lot, wailing for more and more privileges in the name of suppression by IPS. The fact is, the CAPF officers lack the broad minded thinking and vision of IPS officers and very stereo-typical. If a secret survey is conducted amongst the lowest strata of the force (Constabulary and Subordinate Officers), they’ll surely opine that CAPF officers shouldn’t be promoted beyond the rank of Commandant (SSP) and that all of them like IPS officers as their commanders. CAPF officers have carefully ‘preserved’ the one-way system left behind by the British and now, when stung once by it, are crying wolf. The fact is all of them enjoy all undue obligations like vehicle, orderly, supporting staff for home over and above their due advantages and what not ? Their total CTC is many times their actual salaries and benefits. Everything is almost free for them.
Assam Rifles is not CAPF but PMF (Paramilitary Force).

भारत ने आजादी के बाद अंग्रेजों के सडे गले सिस्टम को , कानून व्यवस्था के नाम पर वैसे का वैसा ही रखा ,जो एक रूल करने वाला अपने गुलामों के लिये रखता है, काम करने वाली फोर्स ,,नेटिव ,,मगर आफिसर कमांडिंग ,, अंग्रेज़,।यही मानसिकता ,भारत की तमाम पैरा मिलिट्री फोर्स में लागू है।
पुलिस रिफॉर्म के लिए बहुत से प्रयत्न समय समय पर अच्छे लोगों द्वारा किये गये,उनमें से एक बड़ा नाम ,,श्री प्रकाश सिंह जी ,,का भी है। पर नतीजा क्या है? सही ढाक के तीन पात ।
पुलिस फोर्स और पैरा मिलिट्री फोर्स के कार्यों में जमीन आसमान का अंतर है। सरकार को उसी हिसाब से उनका ,, कमांड स्तर,, बनाना चाहिए। अगर सरकार आई पी एस ,आफिसर को पैरा मिलिट्री फोर्स का मुखिया नियुक्त करना चाहती है उन्हें कम से कम एक साल का अलग कोर्स उनके लिए चलाना चाहिए और यह निश्चित करना चाहिए कि केवल उच्च स्तर की परीक्षा पास किये हुए आई पी एस आफिसर ही बटालियन स्तर से अपना कैरियर प्रारंभ करें,पर यह भी ध्यान दें कि इन नियुक्तियों में ओरीजनल कैडर के आफिसर का प्रोमोशन भी न रूके। एक बड़े लेबल में नियुक्ति ,,एक तरह की पैराडरोपिग,, ही साबित होती है जो दो या तीन साल की होती है ,जब तक मुखिया फोर्स को समझने के लायक होता है ,वह कहीं और विदा हो जाता है। सब आई पी एस आफिसर एक जैसे नहीं होते यह भी सच है। विसंगतियों की कोई कमी नहीं,एक ढूंढो हजार मिलती है। एक आर्गेनाइजेशन में उपर से नीचे तक अगर टीम वर्क नहीं है ,तो वह कामयाब कम ,और आलोचनाओं का शिकार ज्यादा होती है , मुख्य कारण ,,मैं बड़ा,, की गलत भावना भी है जिसमें आपसी टकराव होने का खतरा नज़र अंदाज़ नहीं किया जा सकता। हम सब ,,देश ,,के लिए वाली भावना बहुत जरूरी है। व्यक्तिगत स्पर्धा हर संस्थान में रहती हैं ,जो मुखियाओं पर सुनिश्चित करती है। सच यही है पर बहुत कड़वा।
मेरे विचार व्यक्तिगत है ,जो पैरा मिलिट्री फोर्स की 30 साल की नौकरी में देखें ,सुने,और भुगते।
Prime Minister Modi ji has brought in a breakthrough in crpf who die for nation all the time like army. The status given is real morale booster to work better. British admin model has been foolishly continued in India which cannot suffice new administration and situations. British model was set for imperialism standards not for democratic leadership. Fine, BJP is improving in good governance in all aspects of administrative development. Jai Hind
It is the untiring efforts of of CAPFs officers who brought the sucess through Supreme Court order before which the govt. had opposed them ,therefore ,giving credit to PM Modiji/BJP is wholly misplaced and looks sychophantic . Thirty three percent posts in DIG rank in all CAPFs came not through govt .efforts but by efforts of Shri Ishwar Singh of CISF ,about two decades back .
Can somebody tell me what an IPS is supposed to do and how well versed are the people who are commenting in the situational duties of the both sides
So basically you give the hardest examination in India Crack it and gear the fact that you are corrupt everyday for being concerned over law and order management
Reply to@ust : I had worked under IPS for thirty five years in senior positions , also worked with CAPFs and undergone training in CAPFs institutions .CAPFs officers are no match for IPS officers in intellect , vision ,attitude and professionalism .It is IPS which is providing uniformity in policing in respect of law and order and investigation of crime issues all over the country . Majority of them maintain standards of integrity and some of them were found to be crusaders against corruption . They are now less vulnerable to political pressure as Supreme Court in Prakash Singh Vs UOI and Others have fixed tenure of SHOs , DySPs /SDPOs ,Distt SPs ,DIG (Ranges ) and IGP(Zones ),Spl. DGPs(Law and Order ) and DGPs /Commissioner of Police to minimum two years except in exceptional cases .Since the country has acquired “inflatory tendencies ” in law and order due to kind of politics prevailing in the country since 1970’s ,it is high to further insulate police from political pressures and strengthen hands of IPS .
What did bottom level staff think about modi sarkar. Which level are bilong in sipaahi. So what do think about sipaahi stafff (Modi govt). This level are no promotion afterall during full service.
I am costable(solider) person join in CRPF. 2013.
This rank are no any promotion and pension. So harassment on CRPF.
1) IPS has 40% Central Deputation Reserve posts (CAPF ,CBI ,IB,RAW, Public Sector Undertakings and Central Ministries etc) and 25% posts in State Deputation Reserve (within their own State Cadre on Central Deputation lines) sanctioned against IPS Cadre Posts for each IPS Cadre e.g Rajasthan ,Kerala etc.,as per the IPS (Cadre Fixation Strength )Regulations ,1958 , . Now Central Deputation % of IPS needs to be REDUCED to below 20% so that CAPF officers move further up in their Cadre ;(2) CAPF officers be given posts of Joint Secretary ,Additional Secretary and Special Secretary in Ministry of Home Affairs , to process the issues relating to their own deptts.,including Internal Security and service matters or at least one Joint Secretary post be given to process such matters ,IPS presently have two ;(3) IPS is sucessor of I.P. i.e Imperial Police established by Britishers in India ,who had abolished the same in their own country and direct recruitment is done at the level of constable for achieving high professional standards ,the highest officer is designated as Chief Constable ; (4) IPS has Associations registered with MHA for cultural and social purposes but keep raising the service issues with it and Pay Comissions though prohibited under the Police (Restriction of Rights Act ),1966 and the Police (Incitement to Disaffection )Act ,1922 ; (5) Direct recruits of State Police Services joinimg at level of Deputy Supdt. of Police /Asstt.Commissioner of Police are also suffer a lot as in large number of States /Union Teritories they get promoted to IPS in Supdt.of Polce /Deputy Commissioner of Police rank after rendering 22/24/26 of service as their quota in IPS promotion is now only 33% ,saw a rise from meagre 25% after Supreme Court directed Central Govt.to compute same against State Deputation Reserve also .Note :In Jammu and Kashmir ,it is 50% since I974 .Despite Court directions in 1999 to raise it for other cadres ,govt has NOT decided and left it in LIMBO ! (6) CAPFs remain too mobile,too cut off from their families ,need more peace stations on lines of Army and absorption in State Police /State Govts of their domicile after rendering 20 /22/25 years of service ,particularly from Ct to Inpr rank officers .
The “Organised Ownership” of IPS over plethora of armed police forces has been the result of their efforts to find parking places for ever-promoting cadres. The IPS have neither any interest nor love-lost towards these CAPF organisations. They simply parachute in their hierarchy without knowing a bit about them.
The IPS have no real connect with none of these organisations they claim to have under their command. They, as DIGs, simply land over them.
In fact, the IPS cadre has created BSF, ITBP, CRPF, COBRA, SSB, etc, etc, to ensure their cadres get adequate parking place rather than lose out on promotions.
No wonder, the lowest rank they retire is, DIG. Whereas the weather-beaten, experienced unit cadres cannot see light above battalion levels.
The recruitment of erudite personnel through IAS,IFS,IPS,ect exams is itself a stupid practise as these persons learn only AFTER a calamity.
Good observation. These cadres hold imperialistic views and not democratic principles.
Without IAS, IPS, IFS etc – India would be like Somalia – broken into pieces by corrupt politicians where everything would be sold off or destroyed for profit and greed. These are not called “steel frame” of India for fun – IPS officers have been sacrificing their lives for decades to protect the public – be it in jungles against Naxals or in slums against gangasters. The IAS has built the cities, the damns, started Green Revolution, airports, IITs, and even ISRO/ DRDO are all enabled and helped by IAS. IAS is also responsible for making sure that the Indian military is firmly under civilian control. The IFS has on the other hand been tirelessly working the jobs of conducting diplomacy for a nation of 1 billion people across 200 countries with less than 1000 officers – responding day and night to crisis that affect India globally with a cadre strength less than a state post office. Every single UN treaty, Free trade Agreement, Foreign visit, Bi-lateral deal between both central and state govts with any foreign govt/state or entity is handled by just 1000 officers.
It is easy to slam these people as inept and incompetent and useless . But the difference between India and Pakistan or Afghanistan is the professional character of the Indian civil services. A strong and competent civil service is also the foundation of China’s strength and dominance. A strong nation needs the best civil servants – and Indian civil servants have taken a totally poor and illiterate country and made it a nuclear and space power today with the world’s fifth largest economy under a democratic Constitution . This is not a small achievement.
Absolutely perfect Mr. Mazo .. All have to realize this fact..
The perfect title for this news. The IPS is a parasites force living on the blood of others. It is good that a new cadre has been formed ending the TYRANNY OF IPS. Now for other organizational matters they will have to face the tyranny of IAS, the other parasites on the blood of the people.
New Cadre hasn’t been formed – only same cadre is being “upgraded” to Group A status. And in a Govt NOBODY is “supreme” – everyone has somebody above them and somebody below them – that is how hierarchy functions. IPS will still be an integral part of CAPFs – to think they will disappear from CAPFs is absurd.
IPS has no “Tyranny” – joining IPS is through the hardest examination in India – UPSC exam. Only the best and brightest (reservations allowing) are selected. Those who cannot join as IPS or other Group A join BSF, CRPF etc . That is a fact. You can’t be under the “tyranny” of IPS since you were never the SAME as IPS to begin with. CAPFs have many IPS officers who have spent 10-20 years only in these organizations – so it is wrong to claim that IPS is paradropped on them.
Now Govt. must think and must come a step further to create a new ministry “Ministry of Homeland Security”. Which will be comprised of CRPF, BSF, CISF, SSB, ITBP, ASSAM RIFLES, NSG and COAST GUARD. And create a officer pool for ‘Central Police Service(CPS)’. Which only focus on the internal security matters and a better coordination with MoD, Army, Navy, Air Force. Let the MAH focus on Police Service and Administrative Service for better bureaucracy.
The Central Armed Police Forces have almost a million men, roughly the size of the Army. They should have an officer corps of their own, going all the way to the top. For that matter, so should the CBI and the two premier intelligence agencies.
It was long due…. Infact it is time to restrict IPS to serve at state level forces only…for that matter IPS should be made liable to serve All India without any restriction of a state cadre… Or they should be made to select 3 states Cadres where they can serve 10 years of tenure in each state.
It is absolutely foolish and naive to think that the tyranny of the IPS officers over the CAPF will now end. Administration of the careers of these officers is run at the central Secretariat. It is only the CSS people, under the supreme control of the IAS and assisted inter alia by the IPS, who run this administration. The IPS will thus continue to have a crucial role in maneuvering the careers of the CAPF personnel as usual.
CSS and IAS is a lethal combination in the Central Ministries , where an IPS is either absent or an odd officer is posted .In Ministry of Home Affairs ,two are posted ,one out of compulsion ;but it is the Annunal Performance Appraisal Report of CAPFs officers recorded ,reviewed and accepted by their own officers and /or IPS ,which would matter . CAPFs officers need to acquire high professionalism in furnishing their own APARs at the end of ‘Reporting Year ‘ or Recording and Reviewing the same of their subordinates . For higher posts ,CAPFs officers be made chairmen and members of DPC . They should promptly seek upgradation of APARs as per Supreme Court judgement in Dev Dutt case ,even engage competent service matters lawyers for the same ,if need arises .
