- The decision faced criticism from both the opposition and NDA allies like JD(U) and LJP.
- PM Modi believes lateral entry must align with constitutional principles of equity and social justice, particularly regarding reservation.
- Singh emphasized the importance of upholding social justice to ensure representation for marginalized communities in government services.

I've started watching UPSC lectures by Dr. Vikas Divyakirti out of curiosity (not an aspirant). UPSC syllabus covers a broad range of subjects.

Do we have folks here who attempted / prepared for the exams? Interested in knowing how it may have helped broaden the perspective and grow in career.

We have a few months left for the next general election. What are your expectations and hopes from the next government ? Irrespective of who wins the election.

IT cells of BJP & Congress, please stay 1.02 meter away from this post.

Expectations from the next union government

Wastage of the most energetic years of one's life, if you strech it unnecessarily. 

Aspirants should definitely try but for how long? When and where do you stop?

Why are people after 32 not allowed? They might not rank to higher positions in bureaucracy but they will have more real world experience and some expertise in certain domains that can help.

Your thoughts?

Promotions in government jobs also have reservation so your batchmates becomes your boss in 6 years. My cousin was denied promotion at a PSU due to a reservation union lobbying to grab even more promotions than allocated.

There is no solution in sight for the reservation problem.

Since no major media houses from any side of political spectrum are giving it appropriate attention that it deserves, I'm trying to share my understanding with the hope that more people look into it.

Sonam Wangchuk's fast unto death has crossed the 20 day mark. It deserves your attention to be looked into and analysed before dismissing it or backing it.

Please do your own research after this as my understanding can be an leaky abstraction ie. something that doesn't capture all nuances.

What are the major demands of Sonam Wangchuk and the Ladakh protests?

1. Statehood and Sixth Schedule implementation: 
Ladakh is currently a union territory. He is calling for Ladakh to be recognized as a state and for the implementation of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India. This provision will provide autonomy and restrict the land rights of tribal areas to the local natives.

2. Two seats instead of one seat in the Parliament: Wangchuk is advocating for separate Lok Sabha seats for Leh and Kargil districts instead of one seat for both - with the goal to ensure that both the regions within Ladakh are adequately represented.

3. Separate local recruitment process for administrators: Currently, Ladakh administrators are selected via UPSC. He demands the establishment of a separate recruitment process and a Public Service Commission for Ladakh citing the unique needs and characteristics of the region.

4. Protection against industrial exploitation: Wangchuk is raising concerns about the potential for industrial exploitation in Ladakh, given its current status as a Union Territory. He is asking for regulations to protect the ecosystem from any future industrial exploitation.

Are the private jobs really better than Government jobs(work pressure and earning wise)? Or should I give a try for government exams?

Private job or Government job

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have just graduated and started working in Bangalore at a core company(electronics related) with 20L in hand and another 20L in bonus, stocks etc.
But my parents are asking me to write Civil Services, which I like as equal as a private job, but after I gave one upsc attempt this year, then I understood that UPSC requires lot of luck too, as the most of the questions are dynamic and no one can predict them. This is also said by many UPSC toppers too.
Instead I am thinking to continue in private job and get salary hike or promotion every year by working hard or by switching to other companies which has good opportunities.
Can anyone give insights on whether I should pursue Civil Services or should I work in private firms. Please also give reasons. Thank you in advance

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

My parents are asking me to prepare for government exams and get enrolled in SSC coaching. I want to know what are the perks and benefits of government jobs that make people want it so badly. My parents both work for a private company, and I do not find anything wrong with working for a private firm. I like their lifestyle but they keep pushing me to go for government jobs only. What is so good about government jobs in India?

- The Modi government has decided to drop its aggressive privatisation plans and will instead focus on overhauling more than 200 state-run firms to make them more profitable.
- The new strategy, expected to be unveiled in the annual budget on July 23, includes selling underutilised land and monetising other assets to raise $24 billion in the current fiscal year.
- The government aims to set five-year performance and production targets for each company, introduce succession planning, and train 230,000 managers for senior roles.
- Despite hurdles in privatisation, the market valuation of state-run firms has more than doubled in the past year, indicating investor confidence in the sector's reforms.
- Analysts warn that India risks missing the opportunity to capitalise on booming valuations, but the government expects higher profits and increased returns from its reforms.
