The administrave ministry become a silent spectator to the activities of these organisations. Head of organisation will look forward to get guidelines form Ministry. Service Rules are mixure of Both FRSR and CSIR or similar organisations.In order to implement any Govt. of Inidia ofer,clearence from Governing council/Body required.The members of these Governing bodies are Top officers from Ministry and other Govt. organisations- least bothered about the autonomous bodies/its activities/employees.The failure is not marginal.But I agree that in the case of Hard work, the said advantage?/pressure is there in every autonomous organisation than Govt.since it functions like a private organisation.Similarly there are many autonomous organisations free from all these evils also. thanks Sureshkumar, Librarian,Fluid Control Research Institute(Govt. of India) Palakkad -kerala. nsureshfcri@yahoo.co.in --- Mailing List Manager <mailman@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> wrote:

Dear Friends:

There is a plea from some quarters for help / protection/ standardization of pay scales, stream-lining promotion policy etc in Autonomous Institutions, especially for Librarians.

Those in Autonomous institutions are at an advantage over regular government departments. Only those who are contended with doing the routine, collecting salary + perks etc at the end of the month would enter govt service. Those who desire to show their competency, work hard, improve themselves and the organization they serve will choose private organizations. Autonomous institutions under govt give you the advantage of both worlds. In an autonomous unit you need to convince only one or two bosses at the most and your line is clear for moving up. In govt set ups all employees are same; there is not much scope for merit, intelligence or hard work. Promotion is ensured by sitting in the same seat for some years at a stretch. Whether one deserves or not he would get increments, salary revision along with others.

If you are capable you can move faster than the rest in an autonomous unit. If you just want to be mediocre, nobody prevents you from being so nor or you sacked for that. Why then crib? I do not understand.
