I AM A CIVIL ENGNIEER WORKING IN CENTRAL GOVT ON DEPUTATION FORM STATE GOVERNMENT. UPTO FOUR PAY COMMISSIONS THE PAY SCALES OF DOCTORS ADN ENGINEERS ARE SAME IN THE INITAIAL CADRE. BUT AFTER FIFTH PAY COMMISSION THE ENGINEERS GOT LESSER PAY THAN THE DOCTORS. MOREOVER ADMINISTRATORS WHO WERE HAVNG PASSED IAS WERE GIVEN A HIGHER SCALE OF PAY. AN ENGINEER OR DOCTOR CAN BE A ADMINISTRATOR BUT A ADMINISTRATOR CANOT BE A DOCTOR OR ENIGNEER . IN THE PRIVATE JOB MARKET ENGINEERS WERE PAID HIGH WHERE AS ADMINISTARATORS WERE PAID LESS. TECHNOCRATS SHOULD BE GIVEN A HIKE IN THE PAY THAN ADMINISTRATORS. NOW A DAYS A CIVIL ENGINEER IN INDIA WITH 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE CAN EARN MINIMUM OF 3 LAKHS PER MONTH BUT IN GOVT IT IS PATHETIC. ONLY 6500 BASIC IS IT RIDICULOUS. COMPUTER ENGINEERS,SOFTWARE ENGINEERS ADN CIVIL ENGINEEERS EXILE IN THE OPEN M,ARKET. CONSIDERING THSI ENGINEERS SHOULD BE GIVEN A GREAT HIKE IN PAY AND ALLOWANCES SO THAT ALL CIVIL ENGINEERING SKILLS WILL BE EFFECTIVELY USEFUL FOR THE GOVERNEMNT.
