GOVERNANCE
civil service rules
by MG Devasahayam
the
cliché ‘women’s empowerment’ has been the flavour of the season, mouthed ad
nauseam by the ‘heir to the dynasty’ who has lost his ‘throne’. But
here are two instances where ‘highly empowered women’ were dis-empowered and
made to face severe embarrassment. This is the tale of two lady officers of the
All-India Services (AIS) that brings out the malfunctioning of the Appointments
Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), incompetence of the Department of Personnel and
Training (DoPT) and arbitrariness of the State Governments—reducing the iron
frame to a mere reed!
