5 Bay of Bengal diplomacy India should foster(प लक) regional cooperation on environment and disaster management India will seek to reaffirm its regional leadership in environmental and climate diplomacy as it hosts the first Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic CooperationDisaster Management Exercise (BIMSTEC DMEx 2017) starting October 10. Welcome opportunity to boost effective cooperation in the sub-region. BIMSTEC region, comprising 22% of the global population, is exposed to an ever-increasing threat from natural disasters. Setting up of research taskforces on various climate change and environment risks in the BIMSTEC sub-region can develop a common understanding of the threats, create standards for emergency management and come up with cost-effective solutions. India s tensions over transboundary Teesta river water sharing with Bangladesh, and the Rohingya refugee crisis between Myanmar and Bangladesh are cases in point. Environment and Natural Disaster management would need to be prioritised as their common security agenda.

9 Towards transparency Disclosures on judicial appointments are welcome, but the reasons must be spelt out Supreme Court collegium s decision to disclose the reasons for its recommendations marks a historic The collegium, comprising the Chief Justice of India and four senior judges, has said it would indicate the reasons behind decisions on the 1)-Initial appointment of candidates to High Court benches, 2)-Their confrmation as permanent judges and 3)-Elevation as High Court Chief Justices and to the Supreme Court, and 4)-Transfer of judges and Chief Justices from one High Court to another. Perception that family members and former colleagues of judges are more likely to be appointed high court judges. There are 387 vacancies in the various High Courts as on October. The introduction of transparency should be backed by a continuous process of addressing perceived shortcomings. The present disclosure norm is a commendable beginning.

10 Knitting(ब नन ) a safety net Responsive social & care systems for mental health issues must b pursued(अपन ई) relentlessly(लग त र) Today, 800,000 persons die by suicide globally and over 1,33,000 in India every year. Among year olds, it s the second leading cause of death. Reasons attributed range from 1)-Family problems and 2)-ill health to mental illness, 3)-Debt, 4)-Unemployment, 5)-Failure in exams and relationships. Bhore Committee had stated that every Indian should be able to access health care Unfortunately, this doesn t stand true even today. Mental Health Care Act and the Rights of Persons with Disability Act, must be better streamlined, adopting an integrated single window health and social care system that will minimise cumbersome(ब झ ल) bureaucracy.

11 At Bonn(Germany), stay the course Renegotiation of the Paris Agreement on climate change is not a viable option Between November 6 and 17 this year, world leaders will gather at Bonn for the 23rd Conference of Parties (COP-23) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Meeting will primarily concentrate on various aspects associated with the implementation of the Paris Agreement (PA), which was negotiated at COP-21 and entered into force, or became legally binding, on November 4, COP-23 will be presided by Frank Bainimarama, Prime Minister of Fiji. Pacific island nation chairs this year s COP as the very existence of lowlying islands is threatened by sea level rise due to climate change. The meetings in Bonn will cover a wide range of issues, including adjusting to living in a warmer world with the associated impacts, known as adaptation to climate change and reduction in greenhouse gases, referred to as mitigation.

12 Continue Also include sessions on loss and damage and potential injury associated with climate change. Finally, discussions will be about the implementation of targets that were decided by each country ahead of Paris meeting, referred to as the nationally determined contributions (NDCs), and Finance, capacity building and technology transfer required by developing countries from rich nations At the Paris COP, countries agreed to try and limit global warming to 1.5 C but since previous discussions had centred on the Lakshman rekha of 2 C This required renewed understanding of policies and actions required to stay within a lower target. Half a degree reduction may seem really small, but in terms of the impacts on ecosystems, geophysical cycles and diverse life forms on earth, this is a substantial difference. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has therefore undertaken the task of preparing a special report on the impacts of a warming of 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels and the global response needed to achieve these. United States pulled out of the PA and the implications of this at a global plat Sincerity to make progress in reducing emissions and building climate resilience in their development.

13 Fixing the steel frame It is not as difficult as it sounds When we attained Independence in 1947, like British dominions such as Canada and Australia and colonies such as Malaya and Kenya, we continued to adopt the civil service system inherited from the British. The first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was aware that the colonial civil service system was unsuitable for a politically free, socially feudal and economically poor country such as ours. Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, did little about it. Yes, we renamed our civil services, calling them the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and the Indian Audit and Accounts Service (IAAS), etc, but there has been only little change in practice. We set up a brand new National Academy of Administration at Mussoorie, later to be called the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration. It was meant to train young recruits for the administrative services. The goal of the training imparted was still that of creating the all knowing intelligent generalist.

14 Continue Over the last 70 years, many incremental changes were made. Meanwhile, our erstwhile mother country, the U.K., went ahead even as early as the 1950s to radically restructure its civil service. The famous Fulton Commission shifted the focus from a system based only on seniority and experience to one which gave pride of place to domain knowledge. Moreover, when an officer in one of these disciplines reached the level of a brigadier, he was required to go to the Defence Services Staff College (DSSC) to undergo a stiff examination. There were many objectives to those examinations, key among them being inculcating leadership qualities and a degree/level of domain knowledge. If he passed the examinations he became a major general and joined the elite of higher defence managers. I am strongly of the view that we need to adopt such a system for the IAS, at the director level. The equivalent of the DSSC would be the academy at Mussoorie.

15 Conclusion But changing the character of the personnel system would not by itself be enough. Organisational charges in the area of government ministries departments are also needed Questions may be raised about the feasibility of such an idea. My answer is this. If the defence forces have shown that it can work, and with positive results, why not apply it to the civil service?
