Reply to Miss/Mr Aaruni...usage of Red, Blue and Yellow beacon lights

Question by Miss/Mr Aaruni: Sir,can you tell me the difference between red,blue and yellow beacon lights used on the cars by administrators and other officials?
Does all the selected candidates of CSE get that facility on their first postings?Who all from the services listed in CSE mains forms get them?
I am very curious to know and tried finding out about it on Internet but could not.
Thank you sir.
Neutralviews: Hello Mr/Miss Aaruni…thanks for your visit on the blog…regarding your query…it is a quite natural to be curious about the beacon lights…after all these lights attract all of us to enter in to this labyrinth i.e. the preparation for CSE….generally, red beacons are for political executives and very senior bureaucrats, blue and yellow lights are for administrators…however there is a huge variations from state to state…in fact the road vehicle Act of the state defines the color of light and the officials who are entitled to use it….Since every state has different rules for it, thus there is a conspicuous variations in their usage….regarding CSE candidates…..all of them are not entitled for its use on their first posting…It depends on the type of work they are handling at a particular time….
But, in my opinion, in a democratic set up one should not be attracted towards the beacon lights…as they are the symbols of feudal mind set…in fact these lights are provided on the official vehicles only as a ‘right of first passage’ to this vehicle considering that the user of this beacon vehicle must be going for performing some important duty of public interest….but now a days, this noble thought is being grossly miss utilised to show case the power…it has become a status symbol…..The people of Uttarakhand was so upset by illegal usage of these beacon lights that incumbent government has to issue an order to immediately removal of all beacon lights except some authorized officials immediately after coming in to power……in today’s milieu of technicisation, democratization, globalization and specialization , one should be judged on the basis of his competence, knowledge, integrity, austerity and skills and not on the basis of beacon lights, security commandos, etc...further query is welcome...keep blogging....

Hello Mr Amit…thanks for your visit on the blog and kind words about it….regarding GS coaching, Vaji Ram and Ravi is the best at this moment….you can consider interaction as an alternative…..fee structure of these both coaching is unfortunately very high…[around 35000/-]….postal guidance is also available in both the institutes….Regarding psychology optional, first of all remove the mental block that for success in CSE, you need coaching….there are people who did it without the coaching…they took only material of these coachings and did it….the printed material and class notes are easily available in the market e.g. zerox shops in Rajinder Nagar or Mukherjee Nagar or Jawahar book depot, Ber Sarai, New Delhi….I will suggest you, first go through the basic books I have referred in the previous reply….if you find it very difficult to understand psychology….then you can think Geography as an optional because this optional along with PA can be prepared without any coaching help….regarding notes making….you should read the books at least two times thoroughly before making any notes…after completion of a chapter according to syllabus, you should refer previous years question paper [available in the market] on that topic and try to answer it….do this exercise for two times…then only, you will be in a position to make relevant notes…for the PA notes, you can see PA guide by Laxmikant…it is in the form of ready made notes for PT and mains…you can refer solved question paper published by chronicle publication or Jawahar book depot for PA, geography and GS…..for more details and strategic planning, you can purchase ‘IAS Planner’ by chronical publication….this will be quite helpful for you…..further query is welcome…keep blogging…..

Hello Mr/Miss Anonymous, thanks for your visit on the blog….regarding your query, the service allocation is very complicated matter due to rule 16[2] of service rules…..generally, there is a clear cut category wise allocation in IAS and IPS….but still, OBC candidate can eat up the general seat of IAS and IPS if his/her rank is high and didn’t avail the benefit of reservation at any stage of the examination….e.g. an OBC candidate who has cleared CSE in 1st or 2nd or 3rd or 4th attempt with say AIR 8 within 30 years of age and didn’t take any benefit at PT or mains stage…then he will be considered as general category candidate and will eat up the seat of general….because general category does not indicate any specific caste….it is just a general pool as its name suggest…..so in CSE-2008 result ,I may be possible that some seats are allocated to the category candidate considering his merit in the exam…..This applies to SC and ST as well….further query is welcome…keep blogging…..
