As it is said,purely an austerity measure
I welcome the decision.And simultaneously hope that the examination proves a deterrent for elites.But that might be more than optimism

  • Referring to jobs in government departments, it said there will be a total ban on new posts and those that have remained vacant for more than a year will not be filled except “under very rare and unavoidable circumstances”.
  • even psu people earlier got five star hotel for stay and meeting purpose which was banned from last year. Even some upper level people dont get cars these days. For bureaucrats, it has come now only after one year.
  • black money toh nhi la paya....logo ka dhyan bataane ke liye ek aur paitra

    if it can be done, then civil service wont be the most lucrative career.

    Exactly!
  • i hope Mr.modi will also give some thought to his election campaigns on taxpayer's money ...... the way he addressed (several times) rallies in haryana and maha on same day with a return flight to Delhi which was not only I-class but also a private plane too ! ....
    anyways I am happy that he has made atleast one move which was not targeted for his rss-bjp propaganda machine ......
  • But what about Patel statue in Gujarat, what's the use of it, it may become tallest statue, but for how long it will remain so & can't that money be directed toward Jammu kashmir or coastal Andhra reconstruction..

    May be its a exercise to throw spotlight away from Jaitley comments on CAG role & black money list
  • Things like 5 star accommodation should not be seen as misuse of power. These things come as a perk even at starting level in many private companies. Its not sign of dishonesty or lack of desire to work for public good. Its like saying that if you work for an NGO and eat at McD than your NGO is corrupt.

    If they start cutting perks like accommodations, car, hotels etc than civil service will loose talent really fast to MNCs and government will be at loss as it will spend heavily on training of officers but will be left with only few officers.
