Spurred on by an aspirant’s suicide earlier this year, the officers have started a Facebook page to share stories of civil servants’ struggles to make it.
BJP MLAs join party MPs to call out failures of the leadership, say RSS’ Sunil Bansal, who is another power centre in the state, doesn’t listen to MLAs.
M Narendra Modi, in an oblique reference to the BRI, said any mega connectivity project must respect sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries involved.
Many offices in Telangana have asked their employees to work from home because of heavy rainfall, but it has become impossible due to the internet outages.
The Navy has always been on board with the theaterisation plan, but the Air Force feels splitting up air assets into several theatre commands is futile & will tie up critical systems.
Putin sees this as a victory. Europeans have decided to deal with Trump on his terms for the sake of the larger Western alliance. We look at the lessons for us in India.
Failure especially after years and years of hard work may lead to suicide. The best of the best brains become IAS officers so I wonder what leads to their suicidal behavior AFTER they have been selected and are serving. There have been so many cases of serving IAS officers committing suicide that it boggles your mind.
Presuming only best brains of the nation prepare for cs exam , I wonder what percentage is scarred for life when success eludes them after years of hard work. Our most talented youth is turned into frustrated souls who, by no means, are able to contribute to the society what they otherwise were capable of. What a waste of human resource. They should highlight the examples of those who could not make it to the final list but benefited from the preparation and became very successful and famous in their respective fields.
Your goodness!I want to take this changing trend into account.the initiative taken by them has many dimensions. In the present, the prestigious IAS examination has become a soft nut to be cracked by everyone.an accountability is Los in the thinking air.many reasons are responsible for this.deception is a factor but it isn’t whole of it.whatever the condition , introspection is the need of the hour.
I am very happy to hear about the success of Kempahonnaiah and pray more specially abled children achieve greater laurels in life. Its a big challenge for them where the society needs to be more sensitive and empathetic towards them. Its imperative the present government takes special steps to provide educational opportunities and employment opportunities with assured state care as they outlive their parents.
I read it to find thevpriblems faced by bureacracy …thiught it is an attempt to DEGLAMOURISE the job . Sorry to say but it is again a RECORD OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE .. though after a struggle . People waste prime of their youth in preparation . They should receive the message that NOT GETTING INTO CIVIL SERVICES IS NOT THE END OF LIFE . Pl donot encourage them to go on struggling ….. max two attempt … max 2 to 3 years of their lives shall they devote to these attempts . After that they shall move on to something more suitable to them .
The only way out is to amend the selection process. What my take on the respective topic is related to overhaul the process and make it friendly to those like experienced professionals, ie. Civil services or any government Exam should be limited to those who are working professionals or enrolled in any course irrespective of their field and that person should have that current position or must be of final year or graduation or recently qualified respectively during the interview. Simultaneously UPSC should downgrade the syllabus a little so that individuals can cope up with. Now it has many advantages that are delineated – (1) It will reduce the burden on economy (by enrolling them into workforce) (2) students will face little or no trauma on no selection (due to their secure jobs) (3) experienced workforce will enter the field of public administration.
The issue by the officers has been wrongly framed though it is commendable. It is not the wasted efforts that spur the aspirants to take drastic step but the sense of missing an opportunity of acquiring a Demi-god like status after making it rankles them. In fact, we need not only to humanise the effort part by highlighting struggles of successful candidates but we need to humanise the selected group and those already in service. The moment people join the civil service, or rather are selected, they themselves start treating themselves as a class with privileges and beyond the reach of common man. This sense of exclusiveness dehumanise the civil servants and they stop being public servants. We need to address the gap between the top three civil services and the rest of the services to humanise the services itself and not only the preparation process as glamour that is bestowed upon the successful candidates kills the unsuccessful candidates. So humanising the service is the requirement of the day when all the services and public servants irrespective of status of the service will be recognised by their contribution to the governance process however small the service may be.
The comment by Manas is not objective,one cannot generalise and condem all to the gallows.In my years of IAF service I have also come across for example Vinod Rai son of an Army Officer,long long ago in Trivandrum on a VVIP flight.
Before leaving the Airforce I handled an IAS batch which had come on their compulsory visit of an Armed Forces establishment.Each person was given a momento emblazoned with ‘Adminstration is the 10th Principle of War”( actually in India one of the 10).
The first question I posed to them was ‘how many of you are in favour of abolishing the IAS?’There was pin drop silence and no one raised ther hand.Then I explained.’The best of you with the best of intentions posted to the Min of Finance will not be able to clear the mess there.
One one lady daughter of an IAS officer invited me to their academy where I went later on to a delightful NE breakfast and a discourse on their syllabus with emphasis on Public Good.
Years later on the net I saw that this lady Varsha along with her IPS hubby both of Gujarat cadre had lived up to the steel frame.Many though do not do so and fall by the wayside.
At the NDA where boys become men,any weakness in mind body and soul is not tolerated.A coursemate of mine attempting suicide was sent home.

The heading is slightly misleading. It was expected that the article would through some light on how not everything is hunky dory once one becomes an IAS officer/ bureaucrat.
IAS, IPS etc are glorified servants of powerful politicians. To maintain a somewhat normal life, they sell their conscience and self-respect for power and ill-gotten gains.
