Sir, Recent reports indicating that only a handful of empanelled senior civil servants have been appointed to top positions reflect a deeper, systemic issue within public administration. This is not an isolated development—it mirrors a broader pattern seen across institutions in India, where transparency in appointments and decision-making often remains limited. A similar concern is increasingly visible in institutional setups where senior officers are sidelined or kept uninformed, while relatively junior functionaries are elevated to positions of significant authority. Such practices not only undermine institutional integrity but also erode morale among experienced professionals who bring stability, continuity, and depth of understanding to governance. Equally troubling is the perception that individuals with questionable records are being entrusted with leadership roles. If left unaddressed, this trend risks weakening administrative credibility and public trust. Institutions thrive on merit, accountability, and ethical leadership—any deviation from these principles can have long-term consequences. Another dimension of concern is the continued dominance of retired personnel in key administrative and confidential positions. While experience is valuable, over-reliance on retired officials may inadvertently stifle innovation, limit opportunities for younger professionals, and perpetuate legacy systems that are no longer aligned with present-day governance needs. There is an urgent need to move towards a more responsive, transparent, and merit-driven administrative framework. This includes: a) Ensuring fair and transparent appointment processes b) Strengthening accountability mechanisms c) Encouraging institutional participation and communication across all levels d) Undertaking large-scale recruitment of capable young professionals to infuse new energy and ideas A balanced approach—where experience is respected but not monopolized, and youth is encouraged but not unchecked—is essential for institutional renewal. Administrative systems must evolve to reflect the aspirations of a dynamic nation, where efficiency, integrity, and inclusiveness form the cornerstone of governance.

Trust that the new secretary of pensions and pensioners welfare will be kind enough to appreciate the plight of EPF 95 pensioners whose minimum pension is a princely amount of Rs 1000 per month and about 65 lakh pensioners are struggling to get a decent increase in their monthly EPF 95 pension. Unless some miracle happens by an increase in the monthly pension, a famous saying can be aptly applied here' secretaries may occupy this chair and after a few years get transferred but the Rs 1000 pension will go on forever.'

Gvt never gives pays Commission arrears
Center never gives pay commission arrears. Instead they will adjust. Delaying the process for a long time. Hence after getting confirmation only we can. Up to time please don't post. Government didn't mention fitment factors yet by the committee. After 2028 they will till bit changes. One can expect the salary must have raised up to Rs 5000 only. That too is not confirmed.

The real fight is class fight. The rich vs the poor. Others are mere distractions to keep the masses entertained... the top point 0.0001 percent vs the 8 billion of us .. you don't have to be Jews to be Zionists.. There are muslim Zionists, christian Zionists, hindu Zionists, etc. Brahmanism Zionism nazism is racism in the service of British imperialism. Watch the shattertheswarm video to understand why the world will never be free until we end the Zionist occupation of America. The longer it is delayed the more difficult it will be to resist the consolidation of social media, and AI based security systems and digital ids linked to bank accounts will end your access to bank account and to citizenry itself, any of your near and dear ones will be wanked with chains of digital control and surveillance. We must unite to shattertheswarm. Learn how to at shattertheswarm.com, learn to protect your health at systemshealth and sourcing of foods at cleanfoodcertified and cytosolve for diseases/pandemics.
