Bihar :Poverty by choice

The well known backwardness of Bihar remains an enigma. Historians and experts recall the great heights of culture heritage, development growth and the territorial sweep of the erstwhile Maurya and Gupta period, who ruled from Rajgir and Patliputra which is the current capital of Bihar.

Those engaged in the rejuvenation of Nalanda University knows the intellectual and educational pre-eminence of that University located in Bihar from the 3rd century to the 12th century AD which was an important center of learning for religion and philosophy.

 Many experts have described Bihar as quicksand which draws you in with inevitability. Bihar suggests awkward complexities which have no simple answer. It is true that state remains a land of riches inhabited mostly by poor people. Biharis may be rich but Bihar is poor is well published quote in past. Biharis, who migrate out from the state, excel in the profession that they peruse.

The students who gets the professional education outside the state, gets job in other cities because there is no adequate industrialization in Bihar so the students whose educations are funded by the capital of Bihar but they are not contributing to back home adding on the backwardness of the State because repatriation of capital as well as human resources are not at the canvas of Bihar. The large Gangetic plain with its fertile soil, abundant water resources available from a multitude of rivers that flow through the region and the potential of the hardworking people of the state are of no avail. But unfortunately no agriculture revolution as such is here.

Soon after Independence in 1950 the state administration of Bihar was identified as one of the best in India by Paul Appleby. But owing to its consistently prolonged poor governance and strongly stratified social order and cast system, the Bihar, was 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.

In last few years, subjects associated with the development challenges of Bihar had been acrimoniously debated in media and research papers as well. Earlier Bihar was considered a ‘Basket Case’, with no prospect of a better future however the fortune of wheel seems turning to positive side as governance has improved. Recently, there have been concerted efforts to improve the overall climate of development in the State. This has aroused a sense of optimism and ushered a glimmer of hope among Biharis. Now Bihar is making headline because of its turnaround story and efforts taken by the government to improve the governance.

It is imperative to see why things have come to such an impasse in Bihar? History can gives us some statistics. Several interrelated issues  poor agricultural growth, inadequate industrialization during the British period, high population growth and migration  have lead to its long-term decline. These were supported by poor governance, ignorance by the Union Government, poor infrastructure, low energy availability and low agricultural productivity over a long period. The result: it has crippled the State, its economy, its society and human development.

JPSC struggling to improve its previous image

Ranchi,Jan,13:JPSC who have conducted the 4th PT examination to recruit the officers in the prime offices of Jharkhand facing wide variety of allegation which looks eye opener to the common man.

On Aug-21 JPSC has declared the roll number of 2,194 successful candidates 850 out of 2194 successful candidates were from general category, 650 students were listed under SC Category while numbers of successful ST candidate were 160 and in OBC have 494 successful candidates. BC-I has 344 candidate and the rest 150 come under the BC-II.

The first round of protest was launched by the students by citing that most of the question has been asked from the UPSC Previous year papers they alleged that in Sociology 40 (2010),In Public Administration 40 (2008-2009),Geography 45 (2008-2009) and many more as well and the number of result as they were asking to increase the result percentage by 10 percent of total appearing students.

Responding to the students demand JPSC said that they have declared the result as per notification which was cited that only 10 times of vacancy will be considered for mains however on repetition commission was mum. 

But the real Jolt for JPSC came when they released the marks of the students followed by the model answer key, the agitation further intensified as more than 200 passed students got more than maximum marks and the answer key was full of anomaly with more than hundred errors were found in them said Ajay Kumar Chauchary of Chatra Jagran Morcha (CJM) who were leading the movement.

Thousands of students with Anna slogan protested first week of Aug. and on 23rd they have done Dharna on CM House, the agitation of students disrupted the traffic of Ranchi and it forced the police to take action and several people were arrested by police and latter released.

After this students met with CM who promised to see the matter, in the mean time JPSC constituted the new expert compete to evaluate the model answer and then the new model answer key were published on JPSC’s site and it was quite surprising that several errors were still there in the revised answer key.

Mr Ajay Chaudhary said on the telephonic conversation that “As much as 70 errors are still in the answer key and we have informed about it to JPSC but commission went ahead and releases the revised result based on faulty model answer”

By committing multiple blunder despite the question raised by the applicants over the model answer of new expert committee JPSC gone ahead and released the fresh result based upon the faulty model answer on Nov, 30 according to new result 3250 student were declared successful and new count is  1094 more than previous results.New decision of JPSC beyond what notification says behind which commission was hiding after the release of first set of result at Aug 21.

In new results several students who were successful in the previous result are failed to make and many new faces get entry. 

After shear disappointment from the JPSC and State Government finally students taken shelter in Ranchi high court two case has been filed in Court one by Ajay kumar Chaudhary case no 5860/WPS/2011 and another by Mr Sandeep Suman Case no 5767/WSP/2011 for the cancelation of the result.

The hearing of the Ajay kumar Chaudhary case no 5860/WPS/ is listed on Jan 17 but JPSC is playing date game with court as well.

JPSC has also seen getting personnel and lodge the case against the Ajay Kumar Chaudhary by saying that he is interrupting the functioning of the organization.

Mr Ajay has also claimed his roll number is amongst the successful candidates but I am fighting for the public cause and JPSC is targeting me.

As this matter is in court but it has left various question amongst the applicants that how the constitutional organization is working in our country on the cost of tax payers money.
