Misplaced adventure, what an idea Central Govt, in attempt to wooing its central govt. employees has announced largesse of unimaginable , unnecessary magnitude. Accordingly, special leave will be sanctioned for a week with Rs 20,000= for adventure sports. This is a very tall order in its inception. Is it designed to promote selective private enterprise engaged in adventure sports like mountain climbing , sking etc. or with an eye on general elections after drubbing in Delhi and Bihar? This coming back at the VII pay commission to be implemented from January 2017, May be our own defense Minister can be credited with this idea often used in Goa of no claim on arrears ,from date of announcement of commission for the very first time, in the implementation of past pay commissions. It is expected that timid employees will suddenly develop courage and daring, which in turn will refresh their lethargically attitudes and hopefully transfer the same to their dynamic work situations. It is a very tall order of expectations The Govt. in order to mop up resources is continuing to increases cess, resented by general public and opposition. The Govt is aware of false claims of leave allowance (LTC), to birthplace and outside. The facility should have been necessarily combined with normal leave permissible,. Accumulation of earned leave and encashment should be immediately withdrawn, if the employees are to be recharged. In the West the employees have to compulsorily enjoy the leave of about 15 days in a year
