...by the way
The move to
disband the six-decade-old Planning Commission has created a furore among the
500-strong Indian Economic Service (IES) officers. Nobody has thought about
what will happen to those working there. In any case, IES officers were already
sidelined in the government and they did not have major work in the ministries.
Approximately 100 IES officers were working in the Ministry of Planning and
they all have to be gainfully deployed. Even promotions will be impacted, as
the officers from the defunct Plan panel will have to be placed in ministries,
where posts of Joint Secretary and above are considered ‘reserved’, albeit
unofficially, for IAS officers.
