LC Goyal, special secretary in cabinet secretariat and 1979 batch Kerala cadre IAS, Ashok Lavasa, 1980 batch Haryana cadre IAS and additional secretary in power ministry, JS Deepak, 1982 batch UP cadre IAS and the one who is credited with hugely successful 3G auction, and KP Krishnan, additional secretary in finance ministry and 1983 batch Karnataka cadre IAS, just to name a few.
Each of the four week-long training programmes that is being held between August and November will be attended by six officers each.
The subjects for training are quite interesting. One of the topics, for example, is “Leadership for 21st Century: Chaos, Conflict and Courage”. The other topics include innovations in governance and leadership strategies.

Good point. Both BVR Subrahmanyam (highly influential) and whistle-blower IAS officer Ashok Khemka are wait-listed. Meaning: it's a fair selection. Right?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.. all nominated are senior to him
ReplyDeleteThese are the FACTS:
ReplyDeletea) The short term programmes at Harvard (listed here) is not a big deal as these programs are not degrees but just executive certificates.
b) I researched. These four programmes are open enrollment programmes offered by the Harvard Kennedy School.
c) There is no academic requirement or a strict selection process if you go on your on for these programmed at Harvard.
d) The total cost for these programmes as per my calculation is around 3-4 lakhs (including room, board and tuition). Anyone who has money can apply and enroll himself.
Wonder how only one service is represented everywhere. Though the programme itself says leadership in 21st century but our bureaucracy works still like colonial period. Irony of our country.
ReplyDeleteThis is what people are talking. All the slots are cornered by IAS officers. They hardly leave 1 or 2 slots for other services.
ReplyDeleteEntry Requirement to ICS (Imperial Civil Service):
ReplyDeletea) You should be only a Caucasian British national and of white ethnic origin.
b) You should have been educated at the Oxford or Cambridge Universities.
c) The examination to the ICS were held in London and the papers and exams were graded by British nationals.
d) PCS/SCS (provincial or state civil service) officers may be permitted and allowed for a job in the ICS cadre but they were never permitted to be officially called and be encadred to the ICS.
Entry Requirement to IAS (Indian Administrative Service):
a) You should be only Indian national (brown skinned people only permitted).
b) Graduates from any university in India from age 22 to 28 are permitted to write civil service exam for IAS.
c) Exams for civil service in held in India and is graded by Indians.
d) Today almost 40 % from PCS/SCS officers and encadred into All Indian Service every year.
ICS EXAMS AT LONDON WERE VERY HARD AND TOOK THE BEST BRITISH GRADUATES FOR ICS. ICS WERE LOYAL TO THE BRITISH CROWN AND EMPIRE.
IAS TAKES EVERY PERSON WHO QUALIFIES FOR IAS. IAS OFFICERS ARE NOW FOUND TO BE CORRUPT, ARROGANT, IGNORANT and SELF CONTAINED AND UNEVOLVING.
No IPS officers in this list. Has any of them applied for it or all are rejected????
