082-----------------Very recently  on  TV,I saw many penalists talking of C-set and English in Civil services examination.Most of them were highly talking of aptitude and English to be made compulsory for the civil services aspirants.How unfortunate is this that everybody was of the view that both of the above are not only important ,but required for the day to day business.The aptitude tests in the name of judging the managerial skill of the candidates is but a part of conspiracy to deprive the major portion of population to be away from this prestigious service.The selection of the students ,more particularly ,from Hindi speaking belt and rural India before 2011 was 24.5% as on average,but after 2011 it is 3%

.The armed forces conduct various examination  .No candidate is ever tested on flying an aircraft or shooting and after selection,they give the best training to the standards and each and every soldier is ever-ready to face and meet with any of the adverse situation or problems..The coming years will require more of their skills other than those of the beauraucrates .After proper selection.the weaknesses amongst the candidates selected  is not difficult to be removed.

Prior to 2011,the selected candidates have served and are serving the nation without any question.No great change is perceieved by those selected afterwards.The irksome is the situation that prior to 2011,even a son of rikshawwala's was selected,whereas the higher-ups figure a failure.Hence,such a change was found necessary to serve the purpose,but of the few.One of the penalists said,'Oh ! It (Englsih) is of 7th standard.How befooling is it that a CBSE student of 7th standard knows better than a graduate.The double standard in imparting education is in itself defeating the very purpose of the Equality.I ,as belong to very rural area,learnt English ,after graduation and improved my skills only after I joined kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan ,where the students come from  a conscious and the educated families.The environment of that nature is missing in the rural India.The moment I learnt the language ,it was too late,other than becoming a philosopher,nothing is left now.

One more important point is this that for a Hindi speaking person without the knowledge of English ,he will suffer in Tamilnadu ,but whatabout in Northeast.Everybody does'nt know English in this country.If the UPSC feels it urgent for the managerial skill,let their be complete selection from the Management colleges,why ITians and others are being befooled.

The learning language is good,and only 300 words are sufficient for any new language to learn,but instead of matter/content,the skills,personality traits or innovative qualities may be given due importance.

The developed nations witness and invest only on innovative universities at present.The students on strike are correct to feel that those talking this way get fat salary and they have done nothing ,instead of creating the class of " Haves" or" Haves not",everytime aggravating to the problems and finding the ways to serve only their vested interest.Prof.of Sociology from Jamia Milia University in Delhi once spoke on TV,''If Gilli and danda is included in the syllabus,the standards shall be changed in the same way ,as today's syllabus has befooled many a deserving candidates " 

So far as Aptitude is concerned,The civil services witnessed the selection of the candidates from the Elite class and their children ,who behaved in way other than those with qualities as if imported from outside .After 1980,the whole scenario was changed, and this service invited one and all from  all walks of life ; irksome to many a person holding high offices who always insist on creating a separate class in the society forgetting that India is a developing nation and the administrative services need the contribution and inclusion from every walk of life.
