India's top female civil servants are being asked to provide information about their

menstrual cycles as part of a new job appraisal process, according to reports today.

The All-India Services Performance Appraisal Rules 2007, intended for senior

government staff to fill out, contains a three-page health section asking women for

a "detailed menstrual history" as well as other personal information, such as when

they last took maternity leave.

The form has caused outrage among some women employees. "The questions are

too intrusive and have no bearing on our work," Seema Vyas, joint secretary of the

general administration department in Maharashtra state, which includes Mumbai,

told the Hindustan Times newspaper.

"This is insensitive. We feel strongly about this," she said, adding that women in

her section planned on making a formal complaint to the ministry of personnel,

which devised the form.

Around 10% of India's 4,000 or so senior civil servants are women. Elsewhere,

the country's government is seeking to change deeply conservative attitudes to

women, which has seen the country suffer an estimated 10 million shortfall in baby

girls through the selective aborting of female foetuses.

A personnel ministry official said he was not sure why such questions were seen as

necessary, only that they had been added after advice from the health department.

"We sought the ministry's help to draw up a health-history format. I assume this will

help evaluate the officer's fitness," the official, Satyanand Mishra, said.

According to a spokesman for the health department, in true civil service style there

might be a way out of the situation using yet more bureaucracy.

"A committee had formulated these new rules. But for every problem there is a

solution," said K. Ramchandran.

"If things are not proper, another committee will be appointed to re-look at the new

appraisal form."

Nit picky, arn't they?

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

bureaucrats' solutions are always so simple to analyse -- as the basic approach is "if you think a problem is large, then either make it bigger or replace it with a larger one". :lol: :lol:

The real 'inconvenient truth'.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Senator Barack Obama
Senate Floor Speech on Public Debt
