January 30, 2018

Source: Republic It was on Sunday that the Jammu-Kashmir police booked Major Aditya and the Army’s 10 Garhwal for murder and attempt to murder for the Shopian firing. The move came after a group of stone pelters attacked an army convoy in Shopian, after which the Army had to resort to retaliatory firing. Two civilians were killed in the firing.

Now, Republic TV has accessed an information that says the army convoy was under attack by the stone-pelters and the army fired at the pelters for self defence.

Real Story Behind Shopain Firing

10 Garhwal Rifles was being replaced by another unit.
They were supposed to move to Balapora and there were two routes. In one route, there was stone pelting in morning and hence the 20 vehicle convoy, including three QRT, decided to take Ganapura road. At one point in the route, the vehicles were to take a right turn.
However, three vehicles missed the turn and went ahead by about 100 metres. They then reversed and hence speed decreased.
This is when stone pelting started. A JCO got off the vehicle to assess the situation. He got hit in head and collapsed.
The crowd became more belligerent. The army personnel fired shot in the air. The crowd still did not go back and continued pelting stones. When the pelters came too close is when the Army opened fire.

Sources said that the army had indeed fired in air 3-4 times, however, it opened fire when the crowd was 10 metres away from the unconscious JCO.

Furthermore, Sources told Republic that Major Aditya was not even present at the spot at the time of the incident. Meanwhile, internet services have been blocked in Pulwama, Anantnag, Kulgam and Shopian and curfew has been imposed in parts of the valley. The public transport in the valley and train services between Baramulla and Banihan have been suspended.

5 Ways to Deal With Failure in Your Career

5 WAYS TO DEAL WITH FAILURE IN YOUR CAREER

“The beauty of life is that whatever happens and however it happens, it goes on.”
Our lives are an amalgamation of ‘success’ and ‘failure’. For a child, his ‘success’ can be tying his shoelaces on his own. His ‘failure’ can be tripping over the same laces. But in hindsight, it is realized, that these were neither success nor failures, they were merely experiences.
How To Prepare for SSB Interview:

A failure or even a series of failures can impact you negatively. How you reassemble your thoughts and move on from that point on defines you as an individual.

Here are 5 ways to deal with failures:

Let it all out
We sometimes tend to think that no one will be able to understand our situation. We milk our problem for too long, all alone. But, if we just take the time out and start sharing our problem with people we trust, a clarity of mind begins to set in.
Failure is universal
By her own submission, JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, had her books being rejected by a number of publishers. Right now, it seems impossible for us to accept this fact as she is extremely famous. But, it did happen. Just imagine if she would have given up writing fearing more failures. It is by example that we should learn that failure is temporary. Faith and conviction in oneself and one’s talent should always keep one going.
Move onto the next project
Life is more than what today holds. Life is a sea of opportunities. These opportunities can only be availed by you if you act fast. If you hit a roadblock, don’t wait for the traffic to clear. Backup your vehicle and move along another road. Who knows you meet up with your destination via the other way?
Don’t let anyone get to you
There might be instances when someone tries to make us feel bad because of one bad experience. DO NOT let this get to you. You are not, in any way, lesser than any individual. All you have to do is work hard for the next opportunity. If your parents get worried, explain to them that this is just a small bad phase and with their support, you can ultimately achieve what you want.
It does not define you
It is human tendency to remember all the bad phases but forget the good phases. But we must always remember that any bad phase of your life does not define you. You are a good human being if your kind, respectful of the law, confident and headstrong. These are the only qualities you need to imbibe and repeat about yourself, over and over again.

“No matter how often you fail, you are not a failure as long as you don’t give up.”
True, indeed.

What are Equivalent Ranks of Civil Services, IPS and Defence Officers?

There has been a lot of resistance from the defence forces officers after the October 2016 MoD letter which downgraded the rank status of defence officers as compared to their civilian and IPS counterparts.

How To Prepare for SSB Interview:

There can be many criteria for obtaining equivalence between the services of India such as pay scale, functioning, status, etc. If going with pay scale, military officers have an upper hand due to the extra allowance to them as Military Service Pay (MSP) when compared to IPS and Civil Service officers.

Equivalence according to 7^th CPC:

The equivalent ranks between Tri-Services, Civil Services and IPS according to their pay scale are as follows:

CAPFs Ranks	Police Ranks	Army Ranks	Navy Ranks	Air Force Ranks	Coast Guard Ranks.
Director General (Apex Scale of the Indian Police Service)	C.P, Director General of a State Police Force	Lieutenant General (Army Commander’s Scale)	Vice Admiral (FOC-in-C’s Scale)	Air Marshal (AOC-in-C’s Scale)	Director General
Special Director General (HAG+ scale of Indian Police Service)	C.P, Special Director General	Lieutenant General(HAG+ Scale)	Vice Admiral(HAG+ Scale)	Air Marshal(HAG+ Scale)	Additional Director General (HAG+ Scale)
Additional Director General (HAG Scale of the IPS cadre, also available to BSF cadre)	C.P, ADG	Lieutenant General (HAG)	Vice Admiral(HAG)	Air Marshal(HAG)	Additional Director General (HAG Scale)
Inspector General	Joint C.P, IG	Major General	Rear Admiral	Air Vice Marshal	Inspector General
Deputy Inspector General	Additional C.P, DIG	Brigadier	Commodore	Air commodore	Deputy Inspector General
Commandant	DCP(Selection grade)/SSP	Colonel	Captain	Group Captain	commandant
2 I/C	DCP(Jr grade)/SP	Lt.Colonel	Commander	Wing Commander	commandant (Jr grade)
Deputy Commandant	Addl.DCP/Addl.SP	Major	Lt.Commander	Sqn Leader	Deputy Commandant
Assistant Commandant	Assistant Commissioner of Police/ Deputy Superintendent of Police	Captain	Lieutenant	Flight lieutenant	Assistant Commandant

With Levels

Level 10	Lieutenant	Assistant SP	Assistant collector
Level 10A	Captain	Addl.SP	Sub Collector
Level 11	Major	SP	Collector
Level 12/12A	Lt. Colonel	SP
Level 13	Colonel	SP	Collector(selection grade)
Level 13A	Brigadier	DIG	–
Level 14	Major General	IG	Secy(state govt.)
Level 15	Lt. Gen(HAG)	ADGP	Principal Secy(state govt.)
Level 16	Lt Gen(Corps Commander)	DG (HAG+)	Addl. Chief Secretary/Spl. Chief Secretary
Level 17	Lt Gen(Army Commander)	DGP (HoPF)	Chief Secretary
Level 18	General	–	Cabinet Secretary

Far from Reality:

These equivalence are far from reality. Because if the pay scale were to be considered, defence officers get extra Military Service Pay that makes them superior to their IPS and Civil counterparts, which is clearly not the case.

Also, the time frame for promotion of IAS officers were not reduced. This basically means that an IAS officer, after 14 years of service, would be granted the pay-scale of a Maj Gen, having 33 years of service. While this does not mean that an IAS officer with 14 years of service becomes equivalent in status to a Maj Gen, since only those IAS officers in the super time scale who are empanelled and holding posts of Joint Secy to Govt of India can be equated with a Maj Gen, still the monetary package granted to IAS officers with 14 years of service would be the same as Major Generals.

Also, since the Cabinet Secretary is the highest civil servant of India, his status is higher than the General of Indian Army.

The Correct Equivalence – The Order of Precedence:

The correct equivalence however, only virtually exists. The status of various officer holders are given below in the decreasing order of precedence. And this defines their status equivalence in All India Services. This means that person below the status of preceding person must salute/greet the person with higher status:

Rank	Officer
1	President
2	Vice-President
3	Prime Minister
4	Governors of States
5	Former Presidents
5A	Deputy Prime Minister
6	Chief Justice Speaker of the Lok Sabha
7	Cabinet Ministers of the Union Chief Ministers of States Deputy Chairman of the NITI Aayog Former Prime Ministers Leaders of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha
7A	Holders of the Bharat Ratna

24	Lieutenant Generals Air Marshals Vice Admirals
25	Additional Secretaries to Government of India Advocate Generals of States Additional Solicitor Generals Chairman, Tariff Commission Charge Affairs and Acting High Commissioners a pied and ad. interim. Chief Ministers of Union Territories (outside their respective Union Territories) Chief Executive Councillor of Delhi (outside their respective Union Territories) Chief Secretaries of State Governments (outside their respective States) Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General Deputy Speakers of Legislative Assemblies in Union Territories Chairman of Delhi Metropolitan Council (outside their respective Union Territories) Deputy Chairman of Delhi Metropolitan Council (outside their respective Union Territories) Director of the Intelligence Bureau Director, Central Bureau of Investigation Director-General, Border Security Force Director-General, Central Reserve Police Force Lieutenants Governor of Union Territories (outside their respective Union Territories) Members, Central Administrative Tribunal Members, Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission Members, Union Public Service Commission Ministers of Union Territories and Executives Councillors of Delhi Principal Staff Officers of the Armed Forces of the rank of Major General or equivalent rank Speakers of Legislative Assemblies in Union Territories
26	Joint Secretaries to Government of India Major Generals Rear Admirals Air Vice Marshals

Conclusion:

It is very hard to define exact rank equivalence of defence officers with their other counterparts as there are many criterion to be considered. However, the one that should be followed is the order of precedence that defines the status of the personnel in the order.

Army To Establish Two Boarding Schools For The Children of Martyrs

Keeping in mind the welfare of the children of martyrs and those disabled in action, the government has given official approval for setting up of two boarding schools for them.

This step came after the government capped at Rs 10,000 per month the educational assistance it gives to children of martyrs or those disabled in action. The cap was put in action as some people were misusing the scheme.

The Scheme:

Under the scheme, rolled out in 1972, tuition fee of children of martyrs or those disabled in action were completely waived in schools, colleges and other professional educational institutions.

Misusing the Capped Amout:

The combined amount of tuition fee and hostel charges has been capped at Rs 10,000 per month in accordance with the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission as accepted by the Government of India.

Out of a total 2,679 students during the year 2017-18 (up to December 27, 2017), 193 students have been reported to be drawing more than the capped amount.

Withdrawing of Educational Assistance:

On July 1, 2017, the government had issued an order capping the amount at Rs 10,000 per month, triggering discontentment among all the three services. Somehow, this scheme was misused by some and the purpose of providing quality education to children of personnel who lost their lives for the nation, was not fulfilled.

Once the schools become operational, the government may be conveyed that it can withdraw the educational assistance scheme. Gen. Rawat said the two educational institutions will be developed on the lines of Delhi’s Sanskriti School. One school will be built in Pathankot and the other will come up either in Bhopal or Secunderabad.

Children Impacted:

The Chiefs of Staff Committee sent a written letter to the Ministry of Defence requesting to remove the cap. However, the government later refused to modify the cap. When the decision was taken by the government, nearly 3,400 children from the armed forces were impacted.

Still Time for Schools to Become Operational:

It may take 3 to 4 years for the schools to become operational. Till then the Army will take care of the financial need of children of martyrs or those disabled in action, if government does not provide them funds.

After graduating from the two boarding schools, the students can study in the Army-run colleges.

Conclusion:

Two boarding schools for children of martyrs and those disabled in action will come up at Pathankot and either Secunderabad or Bhopal. This action was taken keeping in mind the fact that the financial incentives being provided for the educational welfare of these children were being misused.

Your Views?

The soldiers of our armed forces do not think twice before going beyond the call of duty and sacrificing their lives. Should the government think to cap the funds that allow a secure future to the children of these martyrs? What are your views on this?
