DPAR in its letter No.DPAR 64 IAS 2004  dated 17-8-2004 appeared to have sent to all principal secretaries/secretaries, a copy of DO letter No. 502/2/3/04 CAV sent by the Cabinet Secretary, Government of India, to all Chief Secretaries in the country for taking appropriate action and that, that it was marked Most Immediate. To improve the system as a part of the administrative reforms the letter appears to have suggested the urgent need to build in a regular system of interaction where officials can ventilate their genuine grievances .The letter appears to have highlighted the absence of an appropriate forum for ventilating their frustrations for taking principled positions resulting in an unfriendly work environment. The letter also appears to have warned about these frustrations building up to give Government the image of an insensitive employer. The Cabinet Secretary had directed all concerned to take corrective measures.
