Steps should be taken to ensure that scientists, doctors, engineers and other professionals are retained in the Goverment Jobs!

Scientists, doctors, engineers and other professionals should be provided with sufficient scope research and analysis in their respective fields and should get better emoluments. The contractual appointment is a negative step which will steal the initiatives and innovation from such professionals. The must have a regular appointment with a sense of belonging and involved being inbuilt.
The expertise achieved with government organization should not be allowed to be transferred to the private sector in any case nor should a professional of a private sector be allowed in the government organization to promote the interests of his parent sector. If at all necessary the professional with extreme expertise in a particular field should be invited to share his knowledge or expertise on a fixed remuneration without being involved in the inner policy matters.
On account of the economic liberalization and policies directed against the employees and workers, the number of employees. Especially in Group 'C and 'D' cadres has registered a steep decline and the savings earned on that account by government has not been directed towards providing better benefits and conditions to the government employees nor the same has been utilized for betterment of the status of those who are leading a life of deprivation. Since the implementations of the report of the Fifth Central Pay Commission there has been approximately more than 20 percent reduction in the number of Group 'C & 'D' officials. Similar is the situation in state government and autonomous institutions. The undue reduction is proving to be the last straw on the camel's back.Looking at the lavish ways, the Central & Stage governments and other autonomous institutions are spending their funds for political purposes, the amount spend on due, reasonable and equitable package to the Central and Stage Government employees does not make any impact on their finances. No considerations as suggested in this questionnaire is good enough to deny fair and need wages to the Central Government employees.
The salary to be paid to not only the Secretary in the Central Government but also the salary to be paid to each category of the employees and workers should be based on the principle of the qualifications, technicalities, liabilities should end and responsibilities undertaken vis-a-vis the social and other obligations to be discharged by him. It has to be ensured that the Secretary or any other employee for such purpose should be answered of being in a position to maintain a befitting states. There are sufficient means (rules & laws) available to ensure that every government employee including the Secretary performs his duties in the desired manner and hence there is no need to resort to another extravenous method of linking the salary to the performance is rather a subjective judgment and the performance of productivity is linked with and dependent on several other factors not related to the personal ability of the employee including the Secretary. Therefore, there is no need to link the salary with the performance. We are totally opposed to the theory of making any appointment, be it of the Secretary or a Group 'C or 'D' employee, being made on contractual basis. This theory of contractual appointment is loaded with severe problems and contradictious and will be rather a impetus killer of the employees and workers. There is no need even to think of contractual appointment.
