According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), all ministries and government departments will have to conduct a quarterly review of the officials, in order to ascertain who among them need to be prematurely retired from service. In order to bring in better clarity to the existing instructions and enable uniform implementation, an effort has been made to review, consolidate, and reiterate the guidelines so far issued on the subject in one place. The register of the government servants who are due to attain the age of 50/55 years or to complete 30 years of service, has to be maintained. The register maintained by each ministry will have to be reviewed at the beginning of every quarter by a senior official of the ministry or department. As such, a review would be mandatory for the January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December periods.
Revamping the bureaucracy is not a Herculean task. It merely requires a positive mindset of the government in power and a determination among the aspirants in the service to deliver as per the hallowed objectives of the service. It requires officers to remain committed to the job at hand and not be swayed by narrow sectarian, political, or regional interests.
Vietnam remains among the most important Southeast Asian nation for India’s security interests. People of Vietnam resolutely supported the freedom struggle in India, and while facing international reprimand, India stood by Vietnam in its testing times during the 60s and 70s. The two had strategically remained closer to the Soviet Union than the US or China due to ideological differences, they're individual strategic relations with either US or China, relations with neighbors, and Cold War politics. Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and President Ho Chi Minh made state visits during The 50s, making the Indian Prime Minister the first to visit Hanoi. India also supported the Hanoi government during the Vietnam War. The relationship between India and Vietnam started getting a formal shape after India joined the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in 1996.
