With each passing day for the government to set up 6th pay commision,debates have intensified with the focus on the neccesity of the commision.Though I agree with those opposing the commision that it can be a death knell for fiscal prudence shown by the government but if one look at the harsh ground realities,the necessity of the commision cannot be ignored at all.
Not only the attrition level in PSU's have increased manifold in the past couple of years,it is becoming nearly impossible for government organisation to attract and retain requisite talent as specified by norms.The biggest hurdle faced by government institution is the meagre salary they offer compared to private companies who dole out sky-rocketing salaries to their employees.
As an engineering student,my dream is to get into a research organisation and develop new technologies and thus contribute my bit to the development of my country.Few days ago,premier research organisation of our country DRDO came to our campus to recruit my seniors.The news of DRDO coming to our campus thrilled the entire student community of our college,but our celebration translated into intense debate when we came to know that it is offering a meagre salary of 2.5 lac p.a. compared to 10 lacs p.a. offered by core companies. Even software companies visiting our campus are offering 4-5 lacs p.a. Some people can argue that the salary offered by DRDO is enough to provide 2 meals to one's family but considering all the difficulties faced by a student in becoming an engineer,one cannot resist the tempting salary offered by private companies.One should also keep in mind that most of the engineering students hail from middle class families where parents usually spent almost all their savings to build their child career.Thus a student is often under a moral obligation to provide a comfortable and luxurious life to his or her parent which they have easily relinquised to build his career.
The only solution of this talent crunch faced by government organisation is immediate setting of 6th pay commision which will enable any talented person to work for his country without having any financial worries.Thus the commision will be a talent boster and can act as a catalyst for all ailing government organisation.
