If we shy away from these activities in favour of only operations role then you will be woefully starved of policy making role as is our present state in govt structure. Higher def management leadership should bounce back to regain control of its environment .<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243566274592674770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780881198603853530.post-21237819848393961062015-05-13T07:19:47.954+05:302015-05-13T07:19:47.954+05:30Sir, I think all civilian services jostle for thei...Sir, I think all civilian services jostle for their fair share at the time of every pay commission. The upper tiers of their respective cadres insist on, and obtain, a far greater degree of parity for their whole workforce.<br /><br />Sadly, due to some peculiarities in orientation, <b>a few</b> sections of the upper echelons in the services HQs had, in the past, been inclined to adopt a, "If they don't like it here, they can leave/could have joined the IAS/nobody asked them to join (and so on)" line of reasoning. I have myself heard such views being expressed. Of course, such extreme views have always been moderated by pragmatic reasoning from other quarters at the same top management levels. But, to some extent, such thinking within the services HQs has helped the civilian bureaucracy to deny parities to the armed forces.<br /><br />I feel tough, non trade-union/association thinking is desirable in the armed forces. It is what sets us apart. But that is one thing, and not ensuring a fair deal for one's own domain is quite another. The two are different IMHO.<br /><br />Only recently has a change in this situation become discernible. slhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783279172831388828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780881198603853530.post-8336201440454245312015-05-12T13:36:56.811+05:302015-05-12T13:36:56.811+05:30Sir,

You name any dept, whether they have technical or relevant expertise, they move. They even stoop to very low level also. The CVOs posts in many organisations. In TTD, RTC, SFC, STCs, Defence Orgs. they fit in. For any junior entry level post, tech qlfn and yrs of exp is prescribed but for the CMD or CEO post, only IAS is enough.<br /><br />This can happen only in India.<br /><br />GV Narayana GaviniVNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714898741094006636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780881198603853530.post-63357261471272876972015-05-12T01:15:21.530+05:302015-05-12T01:15:21.530+05:30Does the Armed Forces procedures and policies also...Does the Armed Forces procedures and policies also need a review on the same grounds? A dominant bias does seem to exist and especially on the implementation and effects of AVSC - II recommendations. It may be a wrong/ biased perception; but a large majority of various Arms/Branches across the three sister services perceive it to be so. May be this too also needs an urgent review.<br /><br />With immense regards for your selfless service to the communityschax60https://www.blogger.com/profile/06172435761949532703noreply@blogger.com
