Please ask your Husband to go on Central deputation, its not worth being in this state and fight with corrupt politics.
If he cannot do it at the State level , nothing can be done at the Centre. Running away from the problem is
not the solution — Jayashree
I have bribed once in my life to a Govt officer in Kerala to have him inspect my parents house to obtain a Corporation approval and address in Trivandrum. I was 14 years old and he might have been around 45 years. It was one of the most painful experiences in my life and I truly felt disgusted. Without paying the bribe, it was close to impossible to get them to inspect the property that was constructed per the corporation guidelines. I am glad that I had to opportunity to experience it at that young age and have never bribed since then.
To your question of fighting bribery in the State level, I agree that going to the Centre wouldnt make much of a difference. I am curios to know if there are other Civil Services employees in IAS, IPS, IFS, IRS etc. that have shown interest and worked towards cleaning up corruption? There is a famous IAS guy Raju Narayanaswamy from Kerala that fought it to an extend. I wonder if these IAS officers can start an initiative to fight against this together? Raju N Swamy I am sure would be willing to assist in this effort too.
I have seen many instances where my peers who have spent years trying to make it to the Civil services become as frustrated as your husband and I am sure they would be interested in working together with your husband and other civil servants towards this cause.
I appreciate your efforts in this cause. Please let me know if I can be of any help. Thanks, Anant (moc.liamg|alarek.tnana#moc.liamg|alarek.tnana)
Hi Jaya,
You are right..Going for central deputation is not an answer. We have to understand that the officers from state government are selected for central deputation and there is no gurantee that all central government officers are corruption free. Also if it is beleived that those on central deputation are corruption free or are efficent officers than it clearly means that those managing states are either incapable or are corrupt which is not true. The people managing state government should work according to Constitution of India. So Jaya's husban is very right by serving his home state and is fighting against his own corrupt and selfish bureaucratic fraternity.

please as kspcb officials who got cancelled there transfers

corrupt is like a termite, which has gone deeply in all Indian Administration system. But great soul like SIR, VIJAY KUMAR can bring differences by eradicatiing corrupt activities and making them public. If all like minded people come on one platform then there will be no place for corrupt people. God bless sir,vijay kumar and his mission, we all are with you.
Most of our citizens are apathetic. That is why our govt is so brazen in shielding corrupt officials and does not
prod our legislators to file their statement of assets and liabilities. The RTI is a weapon which can be used to
force govt to clean up. But I think it will take a few years for the citizens to recognise the weapon in their
hands and once they start using it effectively, the govt will recognise that the common man is the master and
the govt should work for his benefit.

Hi, I may have joined thius discussion a little late. but nonetheless what i want to write is still relevant.
The solution is not to go from one place to another in the hope that the new place will be less corrupt. I am currently in the centre and am right now facing what jayashree's husband faced/or is still facing in the state. In fact I am myself thinking of a change of place as it has become almost impossible to stay here. the harrassment of a whistleblower is just too much. however, i feel, change of place is not the solution, change of mindset, of both, the corrupt and the honest. the change of mindset for the honest is to think that we can make a difference by each individual fight and that it is not right to give up the fight. further, the honest need to support each other whenever the ocassion arises.the change of mindset needed for the corrupt is for them to realise that they are not invincible and they are not above law.
