Dilute Standards: Ministry of Defence to Army

The bureaucrats in the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Finance having failed either to improve the Defence Forces Rank Status (WoP) or enhance its salary structure for middle rung Officers are desperately trying to dilute standards and norms of selecting Officers for the Armed Forces. The Sixth Empowered Pay Panel Report bereft of representation from the Defence Forces, is stuck due to uncertain Political Climate and the confusion created by the Bureaucrats of both the ministries working in tandem. Employing Retired Officers is increasing the liabilities and creating more administrative problems than addressing the shortages. The articles linked below highlights the flip flops and gauge for oneself the confusion created and the mindset of the bureaucrats. We only hope, that a day comes when the children of IAS Officers and Politicians opt to join the Armed Forces in increasing numbers to Defend the Nation.
