Welcome to this blog of Karnataka Postal Officers’ Association. Our special appreciation and gratitude to Shri S Balachandran, Asst. Director, Circle Office for designing this blog

Editorial:

A devalued cadre, a road to decadence.

Step by step a cadre was devalued. A cadre was made slowly impotent and insignificant. A cadre that was made to exist in semi-bonded state. When a person is weak it is quite natural that person’s existence will become a question mark. Slowly, he will be pushed to slavery and when the person becomes incapacitated he will be sent oblivion. Decency and moderation have lost their value. Cacophony and cunningness has been accorded the Machiavellian status. The theory of Frederick Nietzsche is gaining approval.

This is the state of condition of PSS Group “B” cadre. A Divisional head has been equated with a JAO. Now, one need not sit for PSS Group Examination to get quick promotion. With one stroke you can become an officer by passing JAO examination. Why all this trouble of becoming an IPO and appearing for an examination after five years trying your luck through the examination to become a Group “B” officer? Now, the MACP will be more attractive to remain as ASP than a PSS Group “B” officer.

The causality is efficiency and productivity. A depressed and degraded employee cannot be expected to put in his efforts to become efficient and able. A devalued coin does not command exchange value. So is a devalued cadre that will not command any respect and ultimately the system will become loose and fragmented. Injustice meted out to a small cadre may not bring in instant reaction but this is the beginning of decadence of a system that has been nurtured and maintained over one and half centuries by a dedicated band of Inspector cadre officials.
Let us forget our differences, let us unite and regain the lost ground.
