As u sow, so shall u reap

Every time, policy maker converged to formulate a policy, every time they failed. Obvious reasons are bereft of better understanding, critical approach, intensive research, thoughtful analysis and lack of foresightedness. Inefficient and improper officers at improper places could be the other reason. Exclusion of Indian Postal Service from All India Services could be the other reasons, because best brains are packed to All India Services and residuals drained to left over. Applicability of proverb “As u sow, so shall u reap” is explicit thereto.
Resultantly, number of policies took off with a little ray of hope, but each time it fell flat. Idea is good, initiatives are 100%, Pomp and Show is adequate, Results are zero. Probably reasons are lying some where else. On the contrary, there are other departments, which meticulous followed the directions of Nodal ones and never remained unhealthy. They never get excited or step ahead or raise their hands and thus, get all the warmth and caring.

Count from the beginning, none could go the right way, it deserves.

a) pooling of operative persons under Reserved Training Pool or back door entry;

b) Casual Labourers (Grant of Temporary Status & Regularisation) Scheme effective as on 29.11.1991 & instructions thereto (another back door entry);

c) One Time Bound promotion scheme (Financial upgradation after completion of 16 years regular service)

d) Biennial Cadre Review Scheme (Financial upgradation after completion of 26 years regular service)

e) 1/3rd Fast track promotion.

f) Scheme for allotment of Surplus qualified IPs.

g) Introduction of Separate Postmaster Cadre

Aforesaid schemes effected the pay scale, pay band, carrier progression of the officials in one manner or the other and brought huge anomalies amidst themselves, be it may be during implementation of recommendations of 4th CPC, 5th CPC or 6th CPC. Affected persons left stranded for want of specific, clear and unambiguous instructions. Nodal offices do issue instructions, but for their own schemes and never keep checks, RRs remained tossed between the organisations. Persons at the helm of the affairs remained at a bay and won’t pursuade for interest of betterment of their own employees. 5400 is working under 4800, 5400 and 4800 are putting their files before 4600, 4200 is working under 2800 and so on. Who is being supervised and by whom he is to be supervised and who has be supervised is now a 100 million dollar question.

Alas ! Only a wonder can set right the dilemma
