WHAT ARE ROOT CAUSES OF IRREGULARITIES, DEFICIENCIES, CORRUPTION AND MAL-ADMINISTRATION

Whimsical promotion, whimsical transfer and posting are the root cause of all types of irregularities, deficiencies, corruption, and mal-administration in the family ,in the society and in the country as a whole.

Whenever a new departmental head joins his duty or a new Chief minister takes charge of the state , or a new government comes to power at the center , chain of whimsical transfers takes place causing unwarranted annoyance among talented and good workers. Whimsical promotions to flatterer juniors superseding senior good workers is very common in our country.
As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by courts in the country in the quickest timeframe we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt practices prevailing and spreading like cancer in the society.

When most of the ministers in the government, most of the MPs and most of the MLAs at state level are alleged to be corrupt,  how can they inculcate good practices among IAS officers, judges, other functional heads and subordinate staffs?

I have experienced when the top in any office or in the government is weak and corrupt, the bottom-line is bound to be corrupt , inefficient and dishonest.

Old proverb “survival for the fittest” no more holds good. Now a day’s survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, who can earn money through ill methods and share the same with his bosses. As such it is not astonishing that corrupt persons are placed at top posts.

SHOULD INTERVIEWS BE ABOLISHED FOR PROMOTIONS ? :

The bitter truth is that there is no foolproof method of providing perfectly merit-based promotion or seniority based promotion in any office. None of the promotion processes can ensure justice to all, justice to the organization and discomfort to none as long as the person responsible for carrying out the promotion process is dishonest and corrupt. When protectors become destructors, damage to society cannot be stopped, the great writer Munsi Prem Chand wrote in his book.

I have been advocating abolishing Interview panel in all promotion processes in all departments and in all organizations because Interview is such a test where Interviewers can easily spoil the candidate’s career. During interview, key role is played by elements like bribe, gift, sources, godfathers, and flattery possessed by employee whose performance is assessed during interview. When Interviewer desires to promote an employee he raises easy questions and on the contrary he may raises toughest and irrelevant questions before the candidate to reject him in the promotion process. The interviewer as per his whims and fancies gives marks for interview and unfortunately there is no method to penalize such malicious interviewers or the interview team made of birds of the same feather. There is hardly any place for merit in the mind of Interview panel and this why whimsical promotions take place and a reign of injustice and that of corruption spreads like cancer and is followed by inefficiency, frustration, depression and what not.

Last but not the least;  it takes decades to deliver justice in India.   This eliminates the fear from the minds of interviewer and the aggrieved employee is constrained to bear with the rejection in promotion process. Justice delayed is justice denied. And when there is no hope of justice even from court, aggrieved person in promotion process is left with no alternative other than digesting the poison of injustice. It is an open secret in our society that victim is afraid of lodging complain in police department against any type of criminal. Not to speak of promotions, management can torture an employee by using his power of transfer and posting an employee in the name of exigencies as per his sweet will.
