Appraisal sys in Govt. Secotr shuld be systematic they called it Confidential Report. ITs depend on Person who signs the report, its not depend on performence at all. It is higly polluted by castism & if boss is of your cast then only you can dream a pramotion or hike. That is a major draw back of this system. Once employee get to know that he is not going to get any pramotion or hike he slow down his work & do not perform. Everybody knows this fact but no one want to hurt anybody because of Vote bank. If boss is from uppercast, he can not put adverse remarks on subordinate's report due to threat of atrocity. Govt. shoul look in to this matter.
