Many of these are well past their expiry date and the Modi administration has done stellar work in doing away with over 1, of them. As per estimates compiled by the Institute of Conflict Management, the government of India GOI has about government servants for every 1,00, residents, with 45 per cent in the railways alone.
About 60 per cent and 30 per cent are in Groups C and D, respectively, leaving a skeletal skilled staff of just about 7 per cent to man critical positions. In fact, we are grossly understaffed. That we need not be in many sectors is well-recognised — leave them to the markets — and politicians must get bureaucrats out of business, in more ways than one.
Further, faced with extensive judicial overreach both justified and unjustified , reporting to an often rapacious, short-sighted political executive, and a media ever ready to play the role of judge, jury and executioner, the bureaucracy has in large part found comfort in glorious inaction and ensuring audit-proof file work. Twenty-five per cent is willing to do anything for the right bribe, with another 25 per cent focusing on ensuring outcomes in extremely difficult circumstances.
One possible solution is to legally prevent enforcement agencies from taking punitive action, like arrest for purely economic decisions without any direct evidence of kickbacks.
For example, the progress of last-mile connectivity and electronics for BharatNet, the recapitalisation and reform of failing banks, the distribution and transmission sectors and the privatisation of space are moving, although slowly.
Some of this is due to a bureaucracy obsessed with accountability to processes and not to results. When an outstanding IAS officer like Pradip Baijal is pulled out of his hospital bed to be produced before the courts after the CBI closed an outlandish case against him, even the best officers become timid and cautious, lest something returns to haunt them years after retirement. Through FRAC, we will map the roles, activities and required competencies for various posts in the government.
Every official will understand the attitudes, skills and knowledge required to excel in their current or future positions, and will be guided to build their skill sets as they progress in their career. Linkages between FRAC and iGOT Karmayogi will allow artificial intelligence enabled assessment of competency levels and competency gaps, and data driven HR decision making in the government.
This will enhance the overall level of public service delivery and will also ensure that the right person is available for the right job at the right time. The citizens will be assured that at each level, i. With Mission Karmayogi, for the first time in the country, the Civil Service Capacity Building plans will be approved and monitored by an eminent Council led by the Prime Minister himself. Introducing accountability and transparency by design, multiple mechanisms have been devised to ensure real-time and credible evaluation, monitoring and reporting.
A State of the Civil Service Report will also be prepared and released annually. At the heart of the institutional structure shall be the Capacity Building Commission, an autonomous, impartial and empowered entity with the responsibility of harmonization, regulation and provision of insight and analysis for the entire Mission. The Commission will be endowed with the highest degree of independence and autonomy and create shared learning resources and faculty for world-class training.
Through Mission Karmayogi, capacity building transformation is possible at a never-before scale. Manoj Tiwari writes: Can this nation afford to lose a duly-elected Prime Minister? Painting India as illiberal is the new liberal tactic to tar Modi govt.
For a less toxic future, we should stop mixing religion and politics. In the current situation, a valuable Covid data would ideally include stratified age and gender-based details, the number of breakthrough cases keeping in mind mass inoculation drive, information about the comorbidity of covid-positive patients, hospitalization, ICU bed data, and deaths, etc.
Besides anecdotal and sparse media reports, currently, not much is available in vaccine adverse effect data. This information is particularly critical considering the scope of vaccination in India and the relatively younger demography involved.
When we talk of masks, we frequently mean a cloth face covering. Most countries require a face covering in an indoor setting, including flights.
The only such RCT, the Bangladesh study, suggests a marginal benefit with close-fit surgical masks in adults. Cloth face covering had no bearing at all. Many doctors and educators agree that masking among younger kids is harmful at many levels. Another unscientific mitigation approach of the Covid bureaucracy is the restrictions on outdoor gatherings. Many scientists claim that more time spent outdoors helps slow the transmission rate of the virus The Wall Street Journal, May 31, According to studies, open-air events demonstrate that viral shedding in this setting is minimal and does not result in outbreaks.
An entire regular season of the college American football — August through December, saw no Covid outbreaks. Out of those, nine states have vaccination rates lower than the US national average. The average SEC stadium holds over 80, fans. Four of them hold over , fans. Zero-covid is not an option.
