Rishi Shukla is known for ensuring quick investigations into cases, and is the second officer from MP cadre to be appointed CBI chief after its founder-director D.P. Kohli.
The Italian term sprezzatura—a studied nonchalance that conceals intention—best captures the spirit of Trump’s foreign policy so far. The pattern is unpredictability, transactionalism, and disruption as diplomacy.
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.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
The Modi government’s way of seeking the opinion of former bosses and juniors about a bureaucrat is one of the best things to have happened to the bureaucracy in India. ‘Transparency’ talk by senior non-performing bureaucrats is the most amazing example of double speak. It needs to be rejected immediately for being so much hog-wash. The Chawdhary case did nothing. Having a trusted CS in the state has nothing to do with empanelment. Some CSs are not empanelled. Presuming that someone who can work as CS should also be eligible for Secretaryship in the government of India is the kind of quibble that courts can easily put down by referring to India’s federal structure in which what is sauce for the goose is not always the sauce for the gander. The bureaucracy in India has been fighting tooth and nail against any evaluation of their output. Under the circumstances, the present evaluation system is good. At least it allows for the bureaucracy some independence from their political bosses as is envisaged in the Constitution of India. Otherwise, India’s bureaucrats under Manmohan Singh had become the handmaidens of India’s politicians with only the judiciary left to oppose both of them. To ensure that the system of checks and balances works well it is important to ensure that no one arm of the state becomes the hand maiden of any other
The IAS lobby needs to be more accountable to the public or elected representatives from the public and other stake holders from public. All representatives in the constituency falling in the concerned officers jurisdiction should vote on a scale of 1 to 10 every year through an app. If they are demanding transparency the scores should be made public. The top 10% and bottom 10% scores should not be considered while arriving at a final score.(This can eliminate personal grudges or return of favors) The final score shall be the avg of 80%. This score can carry a 50% weight in total performance. Thus officers will become more people friendly.
Absolutely agree to this view. Current bureaucracy become subservient to political party’s as committed bureaucracy which drives the level of corruption.
Will these IAS officers allow the same yardstick for other u.p. govt.services? It’s only for themselves that they seek transparency but for others, they’ll continue with opaque methods to sustain their influence.
Annual confidential reports lost objectivity. Lot of subjectivity crept into the system. There is certain provisions where the reports need not be communicated , though the contents are slightly adverse. Some experts with broad outlook should finalise the whole exercise with out giving my h room to political decesion. Hope IAS lobby will succeed .
Even the public should also have there opinion about the officers who have direct interection with public. Most of the bureocrates are ill mannered and ill bahaved. My experience with some of them are very disgusting.
A measure of this nature should have been adopted after extensive consultation with the various state associations, also with very distinguished retired mandarins.
Sychofancy is a Congress trait. Otherwise a complete buffoon like the present congress leader wouldn’t be “elected”!! It is toadies like you who make this happen and can’t look beyond a Gandhi!!!
Open you horizons, go and read and discuss on what a 360 degree evaluation is. Most professional companies use this to assess their employees and it is proper tried and tested evaluation and assessment method
The trick is to pick up modern nomenclature like 360 or whatever, and through its camouflage, push the Gujarati age-old concept of “Apdo Manus” — in translation, “our man”. Mr Mehta, if you are a Gujarati you will know what I am talking about. (Mehta surname is common in Gujarat).
No thanks, I’m no one’s toady. I don’t belong to any party or group; I’m happy to have an independent mind.
“Anyone can say anything about you”, but the point is, WHOSE word will carry more weight?!
Very clearly according to me, after seeing Modi government’s way of working, it will be the word of sycophants that will be given more importance. Which means, of those who follow the Hindutva brand of the RSS and BJP.
This is clearly a way devised by Modi government to fill higher echelons of IAS with Hindutva brigade. This should be fought against vehemently not only by the IAS community but by every right thinking person in the country.
Modi government is devising one devious scheme after another, tirelessly, to COMPLETELY CRUSH the secular nature of our beloved country. Before this they had come up with the idea of lateral entry! The BJP was never so bad!

May the IAS body should beat Modi at the review. And expose 10 of its 100s of IAS members. I am sure there are 10 corrupt ones the chief knows off.

Look who is talking….. UP is considered as most corrupt bureaucracy…..
