(News) Kerala Govt. has decided to constitute the Kerala Administrative Service (KAS)

The state cabinet has decided to constitute the Kerala Administrative Service (KAS) along the lines of the all India Civil Services such as the IAS. It will cover 30 major departments of the state government. The implementation of the KAS is expected to address the issue of shortage of officials, which has often forced the government to handover the charge of two or three departments to one single official.

The "in-principle" decision to implement the order to set up the KAS, originally issued by the previous UDF government, has come despite the objections raised by the secretariat service employee organizations. The employees have been opposing the idea as it would literally deal a major blow to their promotion prospects.

(IAS PLANNER) Nature of Works

Nature of Works

The nature of works attached to a Civil servant officer is administrative in nature. It involves interaction with people at each and every levels of the society. The work and decision taken by an IAS ,IPS,IRS etc has been affected to many lives, thus responsible decision-making is another important aspect of this work. Civil servant are also required to travel extensively as their nature of job demands all these, both during inspection tours of the areas under their jurisdiction in the country, or as in the IFS, the world. In general rule, the initial years of an officer’s career are spent in the districts and small towns. Over year they have promoted to the senior grades, where the area of responsibility is wider, posting are usually to bigger cities, state capitals or at the center. Other important tasks of Civil Servants are Policy Formulation and implementation, supervision and its assessment, Planning etc.In simple way we can say that civil servants are the real policy implementing authority.

Agni V launch shows India’s nuclear deterrence capability

  • The test-firing of India’s most formidable ballistic missile, Agni-V , from the Abdul Kalam Island, of the Odisha coast, was an unalloyed success, signalling that India's nuclear deterrence capability has come of age.
  • This is the fourth success in a row for Agni-V , which can carry a nuclear warhead weighing about 1.5 tonnes over a distance of 5,000 km and plus.
  • It was the second time that Agni-V was fired from a canister mounted on a massive TATRA truck parked on the Island.
  • A gas generator at the bottom of the canister kicked out the long-range, three-stage, surface-to-surface missile that weighed 50 tonnes, was 17 metres long and had a two-metre diameter.
  • The previous Agni-V flight from a canister was on January 31, 2015. A missile launched from a canister mounted on a road-mobile launcher gives it operational flexibility.
  • This means it can be fired from a road in a city, after stopping the traffic, giving reduced reaction time. The missile can be made vertical in three minutes and the launch takes a few more minutes.
  • The two stages jettisoned and the missile accelerated as it plunged towards the earth. Its re-entry systems worked perfectly.
  • The heat-shield made of carbon-car-bon composites and encasing the dummy warhead, withstood a temperature of about 4,000 degrees Celsius. The on-board computer guided the missile towards its impact point in the Indian Ocean.
  • The bouquet of five Agnis form the bulwark of India's nuclear deterrence capability. While Agni-I has a range of 700 km, Agni-II 2,000 km, and Agni-III 3,000 km, Agni-IV can take out targets 4,000 km away.

Action on Climate Change

In recent days, two developments have signalled India's resolve to work with the world community to contain the global rise in temperature below the 2°C warning mark. On 2 October 2016, India ratified the Paris Agreement and on 15 October 2016 the country joined around 200 other countries to seal a legally binding agreement in Kigali, Rwanda to reduce greenhouse gases.

India became the 62nd country to ratify the Paris Agreement. The agreement opened for signature for one year on 22 April 2016. The agreement was supposed to enter into force one month after 55 countries that account for 55 percent of global emissions ratified the agreement. Since India accounts for 4.1 per cent of the emissions, after its ratification the Agreement required around 3 percentage points to reach the 55 per cent threshold. This threshold was achieved on 5 October 2016 when 79 countries, of the 197 member countries, ratified it. Consequently, the Paris Agreement will now enter into force on 4 November 2016.

Among the primary aims of the Paris Agreement are the resolve to keep the increase in the global average temperature below 2°C. It requires all countries to come up with respective national climate action plans to limit global temperature rise and to put their best efforts through an NDC (nationally determined contribution). The Agreement also calls upon developed economies to help poorer nations by providing climate finance of $100 billion a year by 2020.

Economy

Economist believe demonetisation has reduced economic momentum

  • The Centre’s decision to withdraw high value banknotes couldn’t have come at a worse time for the recovering Indian economy as the cash crunch that resulted from the sudden demonetisation crimped all-round demand.
  • Starting 2016 on a relatively weak base with gross value added (GVA) growth at 6.9 per cent and GDP growth at 7.2 per cent in December 2015 — economic momentum recovered towards the middle of the year.
  • GDP growth in March accelerated to 7.9 per cent and GVA growth rose to 7.4 per cent.
  • Although the upsurge hit a hurdle in June, with GDP growth for the second quarter of FY17 falling to its slowest rate in six quarters at 7.1 per cent.
  • A good monsoon and an imminent pick-up in demand seemed to have placed the economy in a sweet spot for higher growth, investments and, possibly, job creation.
  • The Centre's move to withdraw high value currency notes in November altered that script, though the government is confident that deferred consumption will still spur growth once the initial shock of the move is absorbed.
  • On the infrastructure side, the main sticking point — non-performing assets — remains a problem independent of the effect of demonetisation, with banks not willing to lend for such projects.
  • The index of industrial production on average contracted by 0.1 per cent over the January-to-October period, with private investment faring very poorly and any growth in the index being mostly driven by consumption.
  • The index reached its lowest level in the year in July, when it contracted 2.55 per cent. The best performance was in the preceding month, when the index grew 2.18 per cent.
  • Retail inflation slowed significantly over the year, while the contraction in wholesale prices reversed.
  • This meant that the growth rates of the Consumer Price Index and the Wholesale Price Index converged — coming the closest to each other in November, when the CPI grew at 3.6 per cent and the WPI at 3.15 per cent.
  • Growth in gross value added has been slowing since the fourth quarter of the previous financial year (quarter ended March 2016), when it was 7.4 per cent.
  • GVA growth for the second quarter of this financial year was 7.1 per cent, which is the lowest it has been since the quarter ended December 2015.
  • That was before the demonetisation announcement, which economists said would dampen growth in the last two quarters of the fiscal.
  • The current account deficit has contracted sharply over the last two years, with the amount touching $3.4 billion in September 2016, down from $10.9 billion in September 2014.
  • The CAD touched a more than two-year low in the quarters ended March and June, coming in at just $300 million.

New Bill could pave for India’s entry into NS G

  • A new draft proposal circulated among NSG member-states early this month could pave the way for India to become a member of the elite club, but this is unlikely to happen before the end of the Obama presidency next month.
  • The American push for India to become a full-fledged NSG member would now have to be pursued by the incoming Trump administration.
  • The outgoing Obama administration is unlikely to fulfil its promise made to the Modi government before its term expires on January 20.
  • A draft formula for NSG membership to countries like India and Pakistan, that are not a signatory to the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), was submitted by Rafael Mariano Grossi, the former NSG Chair, who prepared the report on behalf of South Korea, the current NSG chair.

US increased sanctions on LeT

  • Tightening the noose around Lashkar-e-Taiba, the U.S. designated the terror group’s student wing Al-Muhammadia Students a terrorist organisation and slapped sanctions against its two top leaders.
  • LeT was designated as a terrorist organisation by the United States in December 2001.
  • Since the original designation occurred, LeT has repeatedly changed its name and created front organisations in an effort to avoid sanctions, said the State Department.
  • Simultaneously, the U.S. Treasury Department designated two LeT senior leaders, Muhammad Sarwar and Shahid Mahmood, as global terrorists. Both the LeT leaders are based in Pakistan.

(IAS PLANNER) What are the Prospects for Engineering & Science Stream Students?

What are the Prospects for Engineering & Science Stream Students?

Civil services is the premier job in the country, every second students wants to become a civil servant. But as compare to the private sector this job offers less at some instances their perks and salary are three times high. Even though private sector offers best of salaries a majority of students as well as parents wants their children to be an IAS officer. Here it is true that it doesn’t offer perks and benefits as other private sectors are offering but it offers an opportunity to lead and to work with the common people and at the grassroots level. It always gives you opportunity and chance to impact people's lives across a variety of domains such as health, education, water, sanitation, roads and electricity. In the private sector job you won’t get such privilege. However, the debate is still on whether the civil services should be a best career option for young people or not will remain unanswered. The very nature of work of civil servant is not only to maintain law and order but also implementing policies of the popularly elected governments as heads of district administration to jobs at the United Nations and the World Bank,

India’s international counter-terror campaign suffered a setback from China

  • India’s international counter-terror campaign suffered a setback with China again blocking its attempt to blacklist Pakistan-based terror leader Masood Azhar at the U.N.
  • China’s action stopped the counter terror committee of the U.N. Security Council Taliban/al Qaeda Sanctions Committee from designating the Jaish-e- Mohammad leader, which India called a “surprising” move.
  • Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, said, “when it comes to the listing matter of the U.N. Security Council 1267 Committee, we believe it should conform with relevant Security Council resolutions and the Committee’s rules of procedure.”
  • India began the campaign to blacklist Masood Azhar after the Pathankot attack on January 2.
  • Subsequently India highlighted the contradiction that the UNSC 1267 Committee had banned Jaish-e-Mohammed in 2001 while leaving out Mr Azhar and therefore, should proscribe him as well.
  • However, China blocked India’s attempts to list Masood Azhar in the agenda of the 1267 Committee earlier this year, neutralising India’s campaign.
  • China’s blockade also cast a shadow on India’s plans to bring an international convention against terrorism under the aegis of the United Nations.
  • The attempt to blacklist Masood Azhar will remain part of India’s multilateral agenda and India will continue to campaign for the need to place him on the list of international terrorists.

Physically handicapped candidates to get max 7 Attempts in UPSC Exams : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court passed an order on Tuesday stating that disabled applicants cannot seek extra preferences on the grounds of Other Backward Caste (OBC) category, and they will get seven not 10 chances to appear in the civil service examination.

As per the government policy of 2007, the differently-abled candidates will get seven attempts, said the bench of justices Ranjan Gogoi and Ashok Bhushan.

"The present case is not a case of treating unequals as equal. It is a case of extending concessions and relaxations to the physically handicapped candidates belonging to general category as well as physically handicapped belonging to OBC category. Physically handicapped category is a category in itself, a person who is physically handicapped, be it physically handicapped of a general category or OBC category, suffering from similar disability has to be treated alike in extending the relaxation and concessions," noted the bench in its judgment.

Selected Articles from Various Newspapers & Journals

Coordinates of safety

If we go by the National Crime Records Bureau reports, incidence of serious crimes against women rose from 237 per day in 2001 to 313 per day in 2015. These crimes include rape, kidnapping and abduction, dowry deaths and cruelty by husbands and relatives. Minor girls, adolescent and old women are frequently victims of brutal rapes and murders. Of these crimes, 30 per cent were rapes (including intent to rape). Higher incidence of crimes during 2001-2015 coupled with low conviction rate of 21 per cent of cases reported suggests that women are more vulnerable to serious crimes.

Women’s vulnerability varies enormously across States. Incidence of serious crimes was as high as 75 per lakh women in Delhi in 2015 as against approximately 5 per lakh women in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. There are huge gaps in incidence of crimes between the three worst and the three best States. The three worst States in 2001 — Delhi, Haryana and Assam — remained largely unchanged in 2015, with Assam replacing Haryana as the second worst State. The best performers, however, changed during this period. Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Sikkim displayed the lowest incidence of crimes in 2001 but the top two were replaced by Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in 2015. However, across States, the overall concentration of serious crimes did not change significantly. For example, the three States (Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra) that accounted for 37 per cent of the crimes in 2001 were responsible for a slightly lower share of 34 per cent in 2015.

National Child Policy: Civil Services Mentor Magazine: January - 2017

National Child Policy

India is a young nation; children constitute 39 per cent of the country's population (Census2011). Recognised by policy-makersas a supreme national asset, childrendeserve the best in nationalinvestment, for their survival, goodheath, development opportunity,security and dignity.

The Constitution of India provides that the State shall direct its policy towards ensuring "thatchildren are given opportunities and facilities to develop in a healthy manner and in conditionsof freedom and dignity and that childhood and youth are protected against exploitation andagainst moral and material abandonment".

This is India's clearnational mandate for what must be done, through policy, law, planning, and practicalprogramming, with conscious provision of the required resources of knowledge and skills, timeand attention, material and financial support, and dedicated practical effort to reach all children,throughout the period of childhood. The National Policy for Children reaffirms this as a pledgeto every child.

For the welfare of Child Government has legislated various key policies at different times. Important policies among them include National Policy for Children 1974, National policy for education 1986, National Nutrition Policy 1993 etc. List of important policies and legislations and international agreements are given below:

  • National Policy for Children, 1974
