Performance review -The Babudom.


Thank God for small mercies! Finally finally inefficient babu can be chucked out after 15 years of service.
But why after 15 years why not earlier?. What is the point in carrying around garbage for 15 long years . Any senior worth his salt does not require 15 years to evaluate the performance of a person working under him .Now let us hope that this rule is followed and implemented vigorously and honestly . Aam Admi may have very valid reason to believe that this may not be done because firstly it will be another babu who has to implement this order.Considering the present culture of "you scratch my back and I will do the same for you" prevalent in the babudom , this looks unlikely . Secondly  even earlier it was very difficult to proceed against  babus due to the way hurdles were placed in the process . eg State could not proceed against a babu even if he belonged to the state cadre of the same state . Even before taking any action against a babu , sanctions had to be obtained from any number of agencies . That meant it could take years to proceed against a guilty babu.Hopefully all such loop holes and escape routes have been taken care of in the new rules. If that is not done it would be business as usual for one of the most inefficient administrative service in the Asia region.
