Take them to the President
In the recent conference of Chief Commissioners of CBEC, a proposal was made that the probationers should be taken to meet the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister etc,.
Why?
The IAS probationers invariably do this!
Other suggestions on the subject were:-
Laptops should be provided to every probationer for effective use during the training so that they become well-versed with computer applications.
NACEN has to inculcate a culture of integrity on a CONTINUING basis through their training programmes.
Selection of officers to be posted in the training academy should be done with utmost care, Officers should be selected on merit, who can be a role model to the youngsters who have just got into the service; Good officers should come FORWARD to train at least for a year for the sake of new members of the service.
Why to discuss this at the conference at all? The Board can straight away do this. But these are topics for intense debates in conferences, never to be implemented.
