| Why was late Sheikh advised to stop inductions into IAS and IPS? | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 20: The State cabinet has approved the induction of 17 senior KAS officers into the elite IAS thereby encouraging the state cadre officers and giving them their due share in the country's superlative civil service.
Similarly, the induction of KPS officers into the IPS has already been cleared. While it is encouraging to note that many of the State's youth are now aggressively competing for the elite civil services of the country and many of them have won the state laurels by getting top berths in these competitions. There used to be times when the candidates from Jammu and Kashmir hardly made a mark at the country level civil service competitions. But, thankfully that trend has now been reversed. With exposure to Internet, access to information, availability of libraries and other academic facilities, our youth have proved that they are second to none in the country in seeking the top jobs, be those in administration, management, engineering or any other high profile career in the country.
The situation for the KAS and KPS officers of the State would have been much better but for the large gap during the Chief Ministership of late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah. Succumbing to the sycophancy of a few ill-informed bureaucrats and civil servants, the Sheikh decided during his rein to create a KAS service parallel to the IAS. Pay scales etc. were also formed which appeared almost as attractive and sometimes more attractive than those of the IAS and the IPS. The matter ended there. Inductions into the IAS and the IPS were withheld by the State during the rein of the late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah apparently because the Sheikh intended to create a civil and police service at the State level which would have better perks than the IAS and the IPS. It was the shortsightedness of the Sheikh's advisors and also of the tall leader himself that anything like that was even imagined. How could any state in the country, least of all, Jammu and Kashmir which neither had the resources nor the capacity to create a parallel civil and police service that would carry all the benefits of a national service. Isn't it ironical that officers who held senior scales in the IAS happened to advise the late Sheikh on matters of civil services and told the then Chief Minister that the state had the capacity and the means to create its own services compatible with the best in the country. The sheer fact that those members of the IAS who enjoyed all the benefits of the federals service and also the complete confidence of the late Sheikh should have advised him so miserably and with horrible consequences. The result of this fiasco has been that we have no senior J&K cadre inductee at the helm of the affairs this time. Had the late Sheikh not been ill-advised on this most crucial issue, the quota of direct recruits to the state of Jammu and Kashmir would have run parallel to those inducted into the elite services from within the KAS and the IPS. |
