Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

A Million Vacancies ?


In Economic Times [ 25 Aug 2011 ], Devika Banerji writes abot failure of the Central Government to fill up following vacancies :


Ø   Police force  …………………………………..  530,580

Ø   Defense  …………………………………………. 188,224

Ø   Doctors and Medical Staff ……………..  178,801

Ø   National Rural Health Mission…………. 148,361

Ø   Faculty and Researchers  ……………….   17,739

Ø   Income tax department …………………..  16,331

Ø   Field Investigators  …………………………     1,300


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 Total…………………………1,081,336
_----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Health Minister and Defense Minister cited following reasons for failure to fill up these vacancies :


Ø   Global job market

Ø   Vast private sector

Ø   Govt recruitment rules

Ø   Rigid hierarchies in Govt

Ø   Unnecessarily high eligibility criteria

Ø   Poor quality of teaching

Ø   Skills shortage


As and when Lokpal Bill is passed, they will need to add one more reason, viz:

Ø   Lack of opportunity for corruption


Then, there will be 10 million vacancies !
