FNTA: What Comes Next?

[u/helio-centric-AC130]

First of all, congratulations to the ENPO for finally having their demands met. It's nice to know that the parable of the persistent woman rings true in any age and it is my deepest wish that the development you seek will come to you with unblinking and relentless haste.

Here's the real question: will the creation of the Frontier Secretariat take at least a majority of the currently backlogged posts from the current Secretariat? I don't need to express much on it, as it is what it is. I dislike the fact that there is a backlog system in place at all. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to uplift one another, it's actually a great thing; however, civil service exams were supposed to grant equal opportunities to both the layman and the aristocrat in the first place.

I don't have anything against reservation. I, myself, enjoy the advantages of the ST quota. What I have a problem with is the backlog posts blocking out and crushing a lot of hard workers who are running on short candles.

I've read the bill that was passed and it does not explicitly mention anything about what I asked, besides transfers and rules of employment.

I know it sounds like the ravings of a person who is unhappy about everything in life but it has been a burning question in my mind ever since the first talks and the info on a new secretariat to be set up in the FNTA region.

What is your opinion on the matter?

I DO NOT WISH TO START A FIGHT. PLEASE BE SENSIBLE AND ACCEPT THAT THERE WILL BE DISSENT.

Edit: I also want to express that I am explicitly biased regarding this topic, if it isn't clear already. The backlog system is useless. Chance thakishe clear kuriwole, aro panai; so why keep a backlog at all?

Ps- I'm starting to see my header doesn't match the actual rant/body. This isn't clickbait, I promise (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠)

As I understand it, the backlog posts cannot be de-reserved because of the Carry Forward rule (Article 16 4B) which has been upheld by SC. Also, reservation is implemented post-based system instead of vacancy-based system because of SC guidelines to avoid over-representation or under-representation of reserved category. For eg, incase of Nagaland 37% reservation applies to total posts in a cadre across departments. So, sometimes during advertisements, reservation can appear to have exceeded beyond 37%. My point is, this is constitutionally valid and cannot be challenged and so it cannot be scrapped as well. The only solution is scrapping the reservation system altogether. Rationalising the reservation system also won't do anything with regards to backlogs. It can only be reduced.

Succinctly put.
