IAS Fraternity 🇮🇳

Lesson for young IAS officers.

IAS officers make about 18L/yr, far lower than private peers But peons/clerks make about 4L/yr, 2x higher than India's per capita Government jobs at the unskilled entry level are the best wage payers Govt distorts the unskilled labour market

Cabinet Secretary Addresses Army Commanders’ Conference During the ongoing Army Commanders’ Conference #ACC at New Delhi, the Cabinet Secretary, Dr T V Somanathan, addressed the senior military leadership, highlighting key strategic imperatives for national preparedness. He emphasised the critical need for the development of sovereign AI models and highlighted the significance of resilient supply chains in an evolving geopolitical landscape. He also underscored the importance of enhanced civil-military cooperation and stressed that a whole-of-nation approach is imperative for achieving optimal outcomes in both conflict and peacetime scenarios. During his interaction with the audience, he spoke of #Atmanirbharta not just as a policy, but as a mindset, where every sector, every institution and every citizen contributes to building a self-reliant, resilient India. @PMOIndia @DefenceMinIndia @SpokespersonMoD

Outstanding clarity on the Rafale project from the Defence Secretary. This level of transparency is rare. And it is welcome.

With the Cabinet Secretariat moving to the new PMO building, an odd bit of historical trivia comes to an end. The Cabinet Secretary, India's top bureaucrat, had functioned from the Rashtrapati Bhavan - not from the North or South Blocks that housed the important ministries

“Negative marks” are now part of how top babus get judged. The Cabinet Secretariat has started sending 100-mark “administrative scorecards” to Union secretaries — showing how many marks they (and their departments) scored on performance and efficiency. File disposal gets the biggest weightage at 20 marks. Output/activities and spend on schemes + capital expenditure get 15 marks each. Other heads include things like public grievance redressal, Cabinet notes, project timelines, and bill disposal. There is also a -12 negative marks section — for “excessive expenditure” on foreign visits/events, abnormal pendency of files at secretary level and above, and delayed payments to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Plus, 5 discretionary marks can be awarded by the Cabinet Secretary for exceptional work.

Addressed the conference of Chief Secretaries. This year’s theme was ‘Human Capital for Viksit Bharat.’ Shared my thoughts on how we can collectively work to make India Aatmanirbhar, empower the poor and realise our dream of a Viksit Bharat.

@LVNilesh Yes

Is this more difficult than cracking those silly exams?

LV Nilesh fascinates me. AIR 3 in IAS, IISc-Michigan pedigree, now runs a profitable cloud business in the US. By every Indian metric, he “made it.” Yet he spends time online posting about detachment, clarity, and the futility of chasing validation.

To All UPSC Aspirants… Announcing the Pratibha Setu Portal, PM @narendramodi emphasized that this platform will connect talented youth with real opportunities in both public and private sectors. He also highlighted that Rozgar Melas are turning dreams into jobs, with over 11 lakh appointment letters already issued. These efforts go beyond government jobs. #RozgarMela

We might be setting a very bad precedent in IAS Nagarjuna Gowda case 🙏

Resolution by the Haryana IAS Officers Association on the tragic & untimely demise of Shri Y Puran Kumar , IPS.

Deeply shocked & saddened by the untimely passing of Dr. Beela Venkatesan, IAS (TN:1997). A distinguished officer, she led with compassion & commitment — most memorably as Tamilnadu’s Health Secretary during COVID-19. Her contributions across health, energy, fisheries & disaster management leave a lasting legacy. Her passing is a profound loss to the Service. Our heartfelt condolences to her family members.

Totally deplorable dragging the family members into an official matter.

@IASfraternity @ECISVEEP This post is not from @IASassociation though I won't be surprised if they too come up with one

We strongly condemns unwarranted abuse and personal attacks against Hon’ble Chief Election Commissioner Shri Gyanesh Kumar and his family. We urge everyone to maintain respect and decorum, acknowledging his dedicated service and significant contributions towards the nation.

The IAS Association notes with concern that unwarranted criticism has been directed against the family members of the Chief Election Commissioner, who also happen to be well reputed civil servants. The IAS Association strongly deprecates such personal attacks unconnected with the discharge of official duties. We stand for the dignity and integrity in public service.

This is lowest point of politics in India , when you can not win , voters do not support you then you blame the system and casting personal aspersions on the Election commissioner is nothing but the sinister thoughts of few people in the politics who have ugly design of capturing power by misleading the people of this country. People of India are more intelligent than them , they can see the design and they are laughing at whole game being played. Shameful
