Babu’s always score 9/10 on Appraisals

Appraisal

Appraisal

And if you thought that those Government Babu’s (Officers) were never assessed for their performance, here’s news. They have something called the Annual Performance Assessment Report (APAR) and this is supposed to be their Performance Appraisal system. Before the Right to Information Act (RTI) came to existence, this format was called the ACR (Annual Confidential Report).

Effectively this Appraisal process for these bureaucrats starts somewhere this month and the process would go on till the December. Though extensive in its scale the rating are always 9 out of 10 for all so no heartbreaks. The most interesting part of this appraisal system is that performance and appraisal are delinked.

If this were the purpose of the appraisal system in the government bureaucracy then the appraisals were better off ‘confidential’!!
