Data from Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration underscores oft-made argument that civil services exam remains inaccessible to a majority of non-English speaking candidates.
Modi govt had pulled up Nagaland for appointing non-IAS officers as DCs, but state civil service association says it isn’t out of parochial or personal ambition.
Abhishek Singh, who is already an online sensation after featuring in musical video Dil Tod Ke, will now play an IAS officer in season 2 of popular Netflix series Delhi Crime.
DoPT has written to Nagaland chief secy that there are at least 9 IAS officers who should’ve been appointed instead. Governor also highlights ‘misgovernance’.
Vini Mahajan was last week appointed Punjab chief secretary superseding 5 IAS officers senior to her. CM Amarinder Singh said the choice was for ‘continuity’.
Starting with the 2007 batch, IAS officers can’t join the central govt as joint secretaries straight from their state cadres, a DoPT office memorandum said.

Seems like lord Macaulay succeeded in what he wanted to establish and GOI had failed in past 74 years to rectify the residues of colonial era followed, France, Korea , Germany and Japan should be our inspiration, none of the former colonies who have english as their offical language is remotely closed to be considered developed, adequate infrastruce should be provided in regional languages as well.
UPSC is not a knowledge base exam, it is an English base exam. I don’t know English. I started feeling discrimination. For getting a job, I need to write and speak in English language, so why the government taught us everything in regional language. Because we did not have enough money to study in a private school. I am feeling underprivileged.
Yes, I think so in the same line. English language must be given first priority than to ask the student what other language he wishes to learn.
Why would anyone want to study in regional language, when they know that doors to all job opportunities lie though English Medium? And what is the meaning of privilege here? Dekhi University with an annual fees of Rs. 7,000 is cheaper than even my local college, and any students worth with even minimal prospect would rather study there, then destroy his future studying in ‘Hindi’ college. Instead of weeping over this regional language v/s native language non-issue, how about everyone tries to make English education more affordable and universal? Seems like much easier and more productive thing to do….
Agreed! Studies have shown that those who speak English earn significantly more than those who don’t. It makes obvious sense given the connected globalised world we live in. English is still prevalent not because British ruled over us/ colonial hangover but because it is the langauge of the world right now. We should make English more accessible than latch on to impractical notions of making regional languages compulsory. But that doesn’t mean we have to forget the welfare of regional languages.

Two language formula is the only solution. Learn English and one second language, which can be Hindi or any regional language.
