Disclosures of Annual Confidential Reports (ACR) comes under Official Secret Act

[neeraj Chauhan]

Hi evbody,
I cant understand why ACR should not be made public. Because it simply lists parameters and traits of an employee in respect of his job profile which in turn defines his efficiency and output. I see no point in keeping this info. And how can it be harmful to ones who are writing it. Rather discloslure would invite constructive criticism and ultimately good employee.

If officers know whats in the ACRs, they will force the process of generating ACRs to be more transparent. Then perhaps ACRs will be termed Annual Performance Reports.

There does not exist any reason why the public who pays for the salaries of such officers be kept away from thier performance records.

HI evbody,
Well Karira and Jimmorrison just echoe my views on ACRs . I just dont agree with ones who say that disclsures of ACRs my affect interpersonal relations . Howzatt so. As in a Democratic setup as somebody rightly said Govt. Servants are nothing but public servants and public have every right to evaluate their job performance reports. Its only this confidential mania of ACRs that is making Govt. servants acting like masters of public rather than public servants.

I agree that ACRs should be made Public and I also disagree that ACRs should be made Public....

Officials are responsible to the Public so the ACRs should be made public...
Officials are responsible and Individuals too , therefore the ACRs should not be made public....

The confussion continues....

End of it I would opine...

ACRs should be made Public but without PUBLICITY after all we should remember that RTI does not means "that Public servants should be distrust and should be exposed" , in fact if we want to know any of the ACRs details they should be given only under scanner and shouldn't be manipulated for propoganda or publicity...

If the Public is human , Public servants are no devils

And above all

WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE...So our Govt, Politicians and Servants are nothing but our own reality.....

So if we are sooo positive or questionworthy for the public system , we should also be highly critical of the PUBLIC i.e. WE @ SELF.....Since we are equal part of the present conditions...good or bad...and we have made our own world, parlianment and system

The ACR in present form do not deserve to be in public domain. If it is severed with performance appraisal (Having details of the public action), with a clear distinction with the private appraisal (Such as Integrity, Health, Relation with Superiors, Obedience) the purpose would be served.

[Abhinav Bohare]

That is what I meant in a tricky way....

Moreover Sir, RTI Act shouldn't be a sword to cut the civil servants or other government officials , It should be used for protecting our own rights.

When we say ACRs it accounts for all the various details of the personnel.
Therefore ACRs details of confined nature can be made public under RTI but propoganda or swordish publicity is incorrect

Hope Members understand that RTI does in no synonyms means avenge

Final results should be disclosed without disclosing the content.
