IAS - Ground Reality

Ground reality is stronger person is eating the weak. IAS eating into rights of central services. Police Service eating into rights of officers of other Para military forces. Income Tax eating into each other. Postal service eating into Inspectors & lower Postal staff. Audit Service eating into other Accounts service. All civil services humiliating Defence Services and sending wish lists from headquarters for CSD purchases stay in officer’s mess at exotic locations on subsidized rates etc. Thus everyone who is powerful is eating up anyone who is weak. If an audit is carried out most frequently transferred officers are those who refuse to compromise. Let them bend and forget principles. Life will be cool. CSS officers in Ministry eating into all departments under administrative control of their Ministries. Comparing the perks of field staff and flooding Ministers with demands for similar privileges but refuse to compare responsibilities. No one is bothered about posts requiring independent decision making and those with no independent decision. These cannot be compared and given equal perks. If a Under Secretary level officer in field gets a vehicle, then a Director level CSS officer in Ministry cannot demand same facility because his junior is enjoying that facility. Requirement of Job needs to be taken into account. An IAS officer who has never worked as a Deputy Commissioner in the District or as a Commissioner in a Division for at least 2 years should not be eligible for Central Deputation. Posting in field is avoided just like Doctors avoiding rural posting. But IAS Secretary Health shouts at doctors avoiding village posting but forgets his own avoiding of posting in disturbed, naxal affected or rural, backward area. Therefore all are alike. Give equal pay. No need to create an elite group of incompetent officers and allow them to lord over others.

For the information of all those who are concerned about IAS superiority.

ARC's recommendation for opening up posts at the level of JS and above to all services has been rejected by Govt.Instead govt has decided to promote functional specialization within IAS cadre itself.This will further strengthen their case for all superior positions.So all non-IAS people should peacefully come to terms with the reality.Or else,keep checking your blood pressure on a regular basis.Satya Prasant,be ready for treading the rough patch awaiting you!!!

In all the developed countries, it is the specialists who are considered important and the generalists do not count much.It is a symbol of backwardness that in our country, a and person having secured high marks in an exam once in a life time remains superior to others and subverts other services as well as experts throughout his career. in all the developed country the top positions are held by experts for limited period.That is one of the reasons why our bureaucracy is rated as one of the worst in the world.If we have to be counted among developed nations,the present system has to be drastically changed,with abolition of so called premier services consisting of generalists, which don't count in the developed world.

First do not claim that you are not an IAS. Have some guts to accept it. Do not fool people like all IAS officers do. Your logic says that IAS should get more salary than IRS because he is a higher ranked guy. Firstly this claim is wrong. Just go through the article written by Prasant. His analysis shows its a myth that top rankers in UPSC are alloted IAS. Secondly, by your logic an IRS should get more salary than IIS, ITS, IRTS, IRAS and other services because an IRS has higher rank in UPSC. Then there will be a hierarchy among all the 20 odd services recruited by civil services exam. This very idea is idiotic, barbaric, jurassic, medieval, unfair and uncivilized. All services are equal and deserve equal pay. Please understand that the country is bleeding because of this IAS hegemony. Our country is like our mother. If mother bleeds we bleed. If country bleeds we (including IAS) bleed.
