Recruitment of Civil Enggs in major ports

Very Good idea of selecting Civil Engineers for various Posts. The selection Committee shall consists of Engineers having studied Marine Structure and Exposure in Marine structures instead of a simple Bachelor Degree in Civil Engineering as the graduates have only exposure of subjects like RCC design, Roads, Bridges, Water Resources and Not Port Structures like Breakwaters, Jetties/Quays, wharfs, Earth Retaining wall with Water Front.

State of affairs in Modi 3.0

It seems the DPC file of CIT to PCIT of 1996-97 batches of IRS(IT) has been lying in UPSC since March 2024 apparently for no reason. No one seems bothered, leaving these officers highly frustrated and demoralized. This is the state of affairs in Modi 3.0. No control over bureaucracy. Haryana win might now give PM upper hand over recalcitrant babus.

Omar Abdullah and Relations with centre
Well because he doesn't have the option to. The dog does as the master commands and this dog is no different. If the CM actually had any power, omar abdullah would be the last person to have any decency towards the centre and would immediately bend over for his ummah

Promoted KAS IAS not PS, ACS

That’s not possible as you may read the Service guidelines, please do research before posting. They can only be DM, Director and Secretary, they can’t be above that and Principal Secretary or ACS, CS and other key positions are regular IAS not promoted KAS IAS. Educate yourself before posting.

Commendable effort

The Whispers team's initiative to recognize the dream projects of young IAS officers is a commendable effort. This series will undoubtedly inspire others to work diligently and contribute to society. It's a great way to showcase the potential and impact of young IAS officers.

We can't be sure about Rahul is pappu or not! I don't know... but INC is making us "pappu's" with shuffling Images of Kharge and Rahul as their requirements!@whispersinthecorridors are you paid by INC to post Rahul's image on our magazine or you yourself did choose his image on your cover picture?

Decision on Railways

The decision to get railways to hire through ECE could not have come sooner. We need technical expertise and the engineering track should exist. For the rest, joining through civil service exam will take care of traffic , accounts , personnel and multi-skilling will help.

Judiciary becoming stumbling block

Judiciary itself has become a stumbling block in the dispensation of justice. How can there be accountability if the Higher Judiciary gives a stay and forgets about it? Year after year, the stay continues even over such a simple issue. If the judiciary cannot do its own work in a time bound manner, what standards is it setting for others? It appears that there is no system in judiciary to monitor cases where stay has been granted and the case lies in dusty files... now electronic files.

Objective of internship schemes

What's the objective behind these internship schemes when the government is not able to provide employment for a trained person? Or these schemes are just temporary employments’ to raise the skill level in the nation and show it off in next elections. What is the point of this if after internship the person is still finding employment opportunities?

Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme

Modi launches Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme I remember such a scheme has been operated/ used in Gujarat. Kutch region of Gujarat always faced scarcity of water. Daily one train full of water, courtesy Indian Railways, was provided to this region. The then in-charge of the body, which was supposed to provide/ arrange water for this region, invited young IIM Ahmedabad graduates/ final year students and sought their opinion/ suggestions to solve this problem. Gujarat Government under the then Chief Minister Narendra Bhai Modi is known for having a receptive mind for good suggestions. They implemented the suggestions provided by the young IIM Ahmedabad graduates/ students. This resulted in no scarcity of water in Kutch region and the daily train with water coming to that region was stopped as it was no longer needed.

Need for psychological profiling

There is a crying need for psychological profiling for certain services. Officers in these services have a history of increasing unnecessary litigation by using pen portraits in APARs to smartly destroy the careers of their subordinate officers. Despite the fact that pen portraits are supposed not to be used for deputations, promotions, etc, DPCs keep using them in these areas and subordinate officers have to go to CAT for getting justice. Officers know of this lacuna and keep using it to settle personal scores.
