Government servants have lashed out at the conviction of IAS officer H.C. Gupta and two others under Section 13(1)(d)(iii) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The retired officials have called the sudden arrests of five activists as the “most brazen display of coercive authority by the state yet”.

With 20.2 percent of its total loans in default by the end of last year, Bangladesh had the weakest banking system in Asia. Despite reforms, it will take time to recover.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
I have never seen an article this much demotivating. So an IAS can’t be the president of the country , that’s why one should nvr take this examination. Does it make any sense? Is it only about reaching to the top level?
It’s not .
It’s about serving the nation with what you have.
I’m at the age of 49 willing to give IAS exam This goal is developed at this age and of course ,I, am increasing my efficiency as a part of my experience All my experience from the market all these years will add up. I desperately seek a career at this age through IAS as a wish to serve the country…..Jai-Hind…
Everything has a positive or negative aspect.
Debarring people just because of age will simply kill the dreams of people who have been working hard for this exam for years.
One possibility is that there could be two kinds of entry in the civil service.
1. IAS/generalist – you have to make it in by the age of say, 24. In fact age limit 24 was present till the late 1960’s/70’s. Such a person should prove his graduation towards one or more specialization areas.
2. mid career :- upto the age of say, 45. such a person is someone who has reached specialization, and will be selected upon the basis of passing the main exam + appropriate proof of experience, specialization and examination of specialisation. This would be a lateral move.
In the british ICS, the “covenant” was for a fixed period, about 35 years, from the date of entry. This could be a model for option (1) so that age differences of minor variety are “equalized”.
Dr Guo Xu is of Chinese origin, he did his PhD from London School of Economics, is presently teaching in USA, and is writing on Indian Administrative Services! His three page bio does not mention his age; his “field of interest” does not mention India. From the fact that he completed his PhD in 2017, and also from his photo, he doesn’t look very old. From his age’s perspective “older” people in general look of “less performance level”.
Mr Modi is very keen these days to “leave his mark” on IAS procedures, so this article can be viewed as some sort of “supportive” document made available by a helpful THE PRINT. The whole idea is to somehow wrest the IAS selection process out of the time tested groove of rigorous “written tests and interview” which produced fine, upright officers, and to make it filterable through the prism of Hindutva, by making it more “experience & interview” dependent. Someone wrote an article about midnight transfers under this regime. Mr Modi wants to be remembered as a leader who could think up revolutionary ideas.
IS THERE IS ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR REDUCE THE RETIREMENT AGE ?
ANS: ERROR
