‘Beating the Retreat’ an event to watch

New Delhi,Jan,28:Continuing with the tradition, Indian tunes will be the flavour of the ‘Beating the Retreat’ ceremony this year. As many as 14 of the 27 performances have been composed by Indian musicians; just seven popular tunes by foreign musicians have been retained, interspersed five times with ‘Fanfare’, a collage by Buglers, and the ‘Drummers Call’, a traditional performance by only the drummers.

The ceremony at the Vijay Chowk on January 29th every year marks the culmination of the four-day-long Republic Day celebrations. A total of 39 Bands from the three Services will perform at the ceremony. Out of these, 14 are Military Bands, while 17are of Pipes and Drums. Navy and Air Force will be represented by eight Bands.

The arrival of the President will be sounded by Fanfare comprising of 14 Trumpeters, 32 Buglers and 14 Echo Buglers, placed strategically along the North & South Blocks, Vayu and Rail Bhawans.

This will be followed by playing of the tune of National Anthem and a tune ‘Parameshwar’, composed by Captain Mahendra Das NK.

Thereafter, Army’s Massed Pipes and Drums Bands will play a total of six tunes, - ‘General Tappy’, a quickmarch tune, ‘Chipli Naach’, a slow march tune, ‘The Hundred Pipers’, a quick march tune, ‘Louden’s Bonnie Woods & Brass’, a strathspey tune, ‘The High road to Linton’, a reel tune and ‘Queen of Hill’, a quick march tune.

After these tunes, Air Force and Navy will play six tunes. Everest, Skylark, Rhythm of the Waves, Twilight, Renaissance and Sea Patrol.

This will be followed by the massed military bands of the Indian Army playing ‘Nakhreli Joban, Almora, Sarangi, Post Horn Gallop and Redetzky March’. Thereafter, all the massed military bands will play the ‘Vijayee Himalaya’, after Pipe & Drums Band play ‘Drummer Call’. After that will be played ‘Abide with Me’, the eternally enchanting hymn, a favourite tune of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. The Buglers will retreat to the sound of ‘Sare Jahan se Achha’, penned by Iqbal, and arranged by Prof A. Lobo, before the illuminations.

‘Beating the Retreat’ has emerged as an event of national pride when the Colours and Standards are paraded. The ceremony traces its origins to the early 1950s when Major Roberts of the Indian Army indigenously developed the unique ceremony of display by the massed bands. ‘Beating Retreat’ marks a centuries old military tradition, when the troops ceased fighting, sheathed their arms and withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the camps at sunset at the sounding of the Retreat. Colours and Standards are cased and flags lowered. The ceremony creates a nostalgia for the times gone by.

Top rankers of 3rd JPSC, fail at police training camp ,Department Resends them to complete it

More than 40 per cent of newly inducted Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), who secured top ranks in the third combined JPSC examination, have not been able to pass the internal exams at the Police Training Centre(ptc), Hazaribagh.Situation is so funny that 15 out of 35 DSPs are still in the PTC as they are yet to clear some of the exams.

Goindocal had investigated and reported the situation in PTC long back that the the candidates are not so competent and so they were struggling to follow the training procedure it was came true when the exams result was published many of the DSP's failed in the examination.

They have been detained in the light of the DGP’s recent direction which made it compulsory for all the DSP's to clear all the examination before being sent for field training.

Most of the DSP's had cleared the exam, only 15 have not cleared some of the papers like riding and battle combat for which exams will be held in February. “After passing the exam, they will be sent to the field,” said IG of Police Training Centre, Hazaribagh.

The DGP has taken tough stand and directed that the DSPs under training must clear all the test before going for field training.

This direction from DGP has been issued in order to improve the level of Police services. The candidates earlier could clear the papers in which they had failed, even after being deputed in the field.

“Earlier there were provisions to clear the exam after posting in the field, but according to the new directive of the DGP, one has to clear all the exams before leaving the training centre,” said State Police spokesperson and IG (Provision) RK Mallick.

According to RKMallick, this does not mean that the detained candidates are incompetent; just that the department wants to improve the standard of the candidates, who are being selected for the prestigious service. “This is an initiative just to improve the standard of the police service in Jharkhand,” said Mallick.

As these DSP's have to handle the functioning of the day-to-day processes of the police department, they must be aware of how supervision is done, how raid is conducted, how FIR is lodged and how the accounts department of the police department works. Hence it is important for them to clear all the exams before leaving the Training Centre, said the IG.

Mallick rejected speculations that these officials deliberately failed in some of the subjects as they are reluctant to go for field training because of the Maoist threat in some of the districts in the State. “There are some officers who are reluctant to go on posting in some of the Maoist-affected areas, but gradually they will overcome the mental block after few rounds of counselling by senior officials,” he added.

Whatever may be the reasons, the matter needs to be taken seriously as the internal examination results raise serious questions on the selection process and competence of the top rank-holders for the prestigious posts

But owing to its consistently prolonged poor governance and strongly stratified social order and cast system, the Bihar, now, has come to be referred as the ‘prosperous poor’. For last few decades, the State was highlighted in two topics of discussion - politics and poverty. Not, the ‘poverty of politics’, rather the politics with poverty

The past growth trend of Bihar can be categorized as two distinct phase

- Phase I from 1950 to 1980

- Phase II from 1980 to 2005

For the country, Phase I is known slow growth in both absolute and per capita terms when compared with growth in Phase II which is also known as Hindu rate of growth. India grew at an average pace of only 3.6 % per annum in absolute terms and 1.2 % in per capita terms in Phase I. However, growth speedup to 6.0 %in absolute terms and 4.0 % in per capita terms in Phase II.

In case of Bihar, the State grew at an average of around 3 % in Phase I, but economic growth worsened in Phase II vis-à-vis the national average. Within these two broad phases there are some interesting variations. A look at the table below would indicate how the trend in Bihar has been since the 1950s in comparison to the national average.

Barack Obama State Of The Union Address

US President Barack Obama is all set to deliver his fourth State of the Union address tonight at 9 p.m. ET. Here's a look back at Obama's past three addresses:

In March 2009, Barack Obama speaked at his first State of the Union amid an economic catastrophe.

Obama called to increased financial regulation, more investments in health care, energy and education.

"Tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before," he said.

In 2010, with the White House and the Democratic Party reeling from the surprise loss of the Massachusetts Senate seat to Scott Brown - which threw the chance of passing health care reform in doubt -- Obama declared "I don't quit" but acknowledged that "change has not come fast enough." During the speech, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito shook his head in disagreement when Obama assailed the Citizens United decision on campaign finance.

The 2011 State of the Union address was sobered by the assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) just weeks before. (Giffords has since resigned.) "We will move forward together or not at all," said Obama. He advocated for investments in education, technology and transportation while calling for deficit reduction. "We do big things," closed Obama. "The idea of America endures."

Tim Thomas Commented on Facebook that he skipped White House trip because ‘government has grown out of control’

It was not all regarding the “politics or party” affiliation, Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas commented after he sjipped to join his team members on Monday at a White House reception celebrating their Stanley Cup championship for other reasons.

In a statement on his Facebook wall, Tim Thomas cited his belief that “the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties and Property of the People.” For that reason, Thomas said, “I exercised my right as a Free Citizen. ... This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country.”

Thomas has drawn criticism and praise for his above decision in US, which he written at 6 p.m. Monday and says will be his final comment on this issue.

“I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.

“This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.

“Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.

“This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT

Jharkhand SSC on revival mode Recruitment Drive Ahead

Ranchi, Jan.24: Mass recruitment in vacant post of various departments in Jharkhand will be done as the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is planing to work to full capacity again, after lying defunct for years.

The SSC has floated the outsourcing tender for conducting the entire process of conducting competitive examinations in order to fill up Grade III and assistant level positions which is vacant in the government since long time.

SSC chairman C.R. Sahay has said that after the receiving the intrest the outsourcing agency would be finalized. Thereafter, the government would take a final call on notifying the date of examinations.

“We have asked all departments to send in requisitions about vacant posts in various categories like reserved and disabled quota through the personnel wing so that we know which exams to conduct and set dates accordingly,” Sahay said to media.

When he asked why the process is being outsourced when the basic task of SSC was to recruit personnel, Sahay minced no words. “Even after so many years, SSC has no experience in conducting exams. So, with the government’s consent outsourcing was decided upon. The agency will be responsible for all processes related to conducting competitive examinations like formatting application forms, receipts, scrutiny of applications, preparation of question, evaluation, publication of results etc. But the administrative control will be with us,” he said.

A retired principal chief conservator of forests(CCF) Mr Sahay was appointed chairman of the Commission in August his appointment came in the wake of the resignation of his predecessor and former DGP Neyaz Ahmed in May, 2010.He left the post barely two months after his appointment stating that the commission was a toothless tiger.

Sahay said fortunately he did not have to face problems his predecessor did.“For an agency like SSC to function, the government should be clear about what is to be done and when. Otherwise, the commission is of no use. Unfortunately, nothing was defined here till a few months back,” he said.

He added that now the commission’s own rules and regulations were in place. “From outside, conducting examinations may look like a cakewalk, but it is not so. After every exam there is a flurry of controversies and scams. Therefore, my focus is to plug the loopholes and ensure full transparency, before going gaga over conducting exams,” he said.

He revealed that the commission had decided not to follow the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) pattern. “We are going to have multiple choice and objective type questions, unlike JPSC’s descriptive pattern. It is because evaluation in descriptive process can be challenged. SSC’s evaluation process will be computerised,” said the chairman
