Re: Staff selection process in the UN organs in India

[Guest guest]

Dear forum,

Staff selection process in the UN organs in India cannot be blamed solely to the

local staffs. what we should remember is Indian administration is controlled by

the the white elephants called bureaucrates - who are bitterly loosing their

control over the administration as a result of changing scenerio of free market

economy. the UN itself is promoter of free market and decentralisation. we all

see how the UN organs had been fighting to chang the indian system since

decades. Ultimately they are now functioning under the dictat of the

bureaucrates whom they had been mandated to change. So, it is not a matter worth

surprising when the UNDCP plans, implements and functions so as to please the

Ministry of social Justice and Empowerment.

Mr. Sunderji had given a braod understanding in this issue, and it was

understandable why he does not respond to the core issue in which the UN system

id falling prey now. When the consideration in solely on the professional

competency, why there is such discripancy as selection of persons who had never

been in the field, rather who had mismanaged the drug-AIDS situation in the

region.

Sunderji may also recall that drug abuse prevention works (though alcohol abuse

prevention had been started in other parts of the country little earlier) AIDS

prevention initiatives had been initiated and undertaking with remarkable

progresses in the north east - the country is learning from the experience.

Sincerely,
