The whole purpose of a joint cadre is to help the officer develop expertise in a particular state instead of being frequently transferred around. It has little to do with being from Goa since I believe that only a third of officers belonging to any state'scadre can actually be residents of that state (due to national integration ostensibly). So, assuming Goa needed a cadre of 12 IAS officers, no more than 4 can be from Goa, even assuming that 4 Goans qualify.
A few of us have experienced first-hand the devasting effect that frequent transfers of top officials can have, in our work with GSCP. It was also my experience that the one out-of state director of education I dealth with was absolutely clueless about the huge differences between Goa's school system and that of other state's. However I don't wish to generalize this experience. The advantage of a state cadre is that even if they get transferred to another department in Goa, at least they are still around to pull their weight while the new person gets up to speed. The Goa government would do well to push this issue, and simultaneously organizations like Rotary should consider sponsoring IAS exam preparation camps so that young Goans qualify in the first place. p.s. Whoever mentioned Julio Ribeiro - he's IPS, and I think Alban Couto is IFS - totally seperate from IAS, Message: 4 Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2004 16:15:27 -0800 (PST) From: halur rasho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Goanet]Goans in IAS? To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I am not mistaken,Goa currently has a joint cadre with AP(Arunachal) and Mizoram. The BJP had proposed a joint cadre with Maharashtra or Karnatka, which was not viewed favorably. A state cadre is probably on the cards. A candidate is alloted to a state according rank and preference in the all india selection process. ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
